I always seen so much praise to Taika Watiti’s Thor and I don’t get it. Sure the movie is fun and it a similar tone to the GOTG movies… but that’s the thing we already have those movies so I don’t see the point of doing an imitation of that in the Thor saga. I know the first cpl of Thor’s movies had issues, but I think the tone was actually more adequate, I mean we lost the warriors three in less than a minute and were quickly forgotten.. idk it just irks me

And the thing is, the GOTG movies did it better. They manage to strike a balance between humor and pathos. We can still feel pain at Gamora and Nebula’s abuse by Thanos, Peter’s grief for his mother and guilt for not taking her hand when she was dying, his longing for a bond with his father and disillusionment at who his father turned out to be, Yondu’s guilt about the way he treated Peter and desire to make amends even at the cost of his life, Rocket’s hinted-at backstory in torturous scientific experimentation… These things are allowed to coexist with the humor; humor isn’t always used to deflate the emotionally powerful moments (though it is sometimes), but sometimes oddly enhances them (e.g., Rocket drunkenly waving a gun at Drax and then revealing his history; the “playing catch with Dad” moment from GOTG 2; Yondu’s “I’m Mary Poppins, y’all!”). Ragnarok never found that balance; it scarcely allowed pathos to exist at all.
