So Marvel is saying Using Loki’s death as revenge motivation for Thor. Wasn’t the story going that Loki had been tortured and tormented by Thanos into attacking New York, and the fact that this was done to his brother couldn’t have been enough motivation for Thor? No, they had to just brutally kill him off and get him out of the picture because they’re at a loss as to what to do with him. Those brilliant minds at Marvel.

Agree, plus, even if we go by the way of Thor’s character arc, his personal growth came from him setting aside his revenge fantasies and laying down his life for the protection of people of Puente Antiguo. From laying aside his sense of superiority and becoming a team member of Avengers to protect Earth. Heck, even in Ragnarok, Thor was hell-bent on returning to Asgard to protect its people from Hela. Why did they have to destroy it and make personal revenge the only ‘worthy’ motivation for him? 

I find it infinitely sad that ‘heroes’ would need it to be ‘personal’ before they muster the motivation to do the right thing and fight the big bad to protect innocent lives. It is pathetic, uninspired writing indeed.
