Before Ragnarok, I never understood how fans could ruin something for people. I enjoyed Ragnarok. I found it funny. It wasn’t the best Thor movie (terrible characterization of both Thor and Loki), but it gave me new material to play with. But the more I see people write about Loki like he’s some shallow, whiny, idiotic, rich piss baby, and dog pile on people criticizing Thor for anything, the more it’s making me sour to a movie I liked.

Yeah… I liked it at first, possibly only because it wasn’t as terrible as I was afraid it might be, but watching the fan response was a lot of what helped me realize just how terrible the characterization of Thor and Loki was. Now I can’t say that I liked it anymore, even though I did love Valkyrie and what they did with Heimdall, and I found parts of the Sakaar plotline pretty entertaining. Completely fucking up the main characters that got me into these movies in the first place can’t be compensated for with a couple of good secondary characters and a cool 80s space aesthetic.
