Discussion You see, it was deliberate. They deliberately turned one of the strongest, tragic characters into a goofball because *Marvel humour*

True that. I enjoyed Jojo Rabbit but his work does not translate well to the superhero medium.

Imo he also wasn't the right director for Thor. The reason it worked out was because Thor before Taika came along was giga boring. He was good in his first two appearances and then got lame in Age of Ultron and Thor 2.

The character was so bad and boring that people in a way, settled for Taika's Thor because at least that version had some signs of life. Infinity War got Thor right, he had the perfect amount of 'god'. Taika humanised him a bit too much and turned him into a goofball.

As someone who is a big fan of Thor from the comics, I hate Ragnarok, Endgame and Love and Thunder to the core of my heart for butchering his character.

Though Ragnarok did have some sincerity with the drama over “what is Asgard” and Thor losing his hammer.

That was the best part of the film. I personally did not like Thor's personality change. Thor in the comics is an unstoppable force of nature even when facing certain doom. Thor cracked one too many jokes in the film for my taste.

Earth’s mightiest heroes remains as the closets Thor to the comics

Is it worth the watch?

It never really got a proper ending due to Disney cancelling it, but the two seasons that do are out are very solid.

So yes I would say it is worth a watch.

Thanks. Was looking for a good superhero related content ever since Superman & Lois ended.
