Despite Thor: Ragnarok (2017) (Thor3) introducing a complete change of tone for the Thor franchise, the mainstream media has decided it was only ever received positively by 100% of the audience. Not a ‘divisive’ or even a ‘generally favored’, but a ‘unanimously loved’ tag was given to this movie and its director Taika Waititi for “saving Thor”.

You have to wonder who were those people who went to the theatres for the first two films if this film saved the franchise because they were both hits. But seeing as I’m the non-existent 0% of the population that doesn’t echo that sentiment of the media, I decided to shed light on how Taika Waititi didn’t save him, but actually ruined, destroyed, and annihilated Thor in every way possible.

CHARACTER

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: there is nothing wrong with Thor being funny, as long as it isn’t at the expense of his character. And now you know why I’m writing this thesis.

he posted it just 2 hrs ago and nat already liked it 🥹

no wAY HE BUILT BACK THE PHYSIQUE IN FG 45 DAYS THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE 😭😭😭😭

also the comments are gold:

"Come on, do it properly."

@teddysphotos: recreating the comic book cover

his hammer needs to be snatched from him and given to this guy so he has something to do than just standing around. because his superpower is *checks notes* being strong. which real heavyweights like thor and hulk are stronger anyway and with more variety of powers and combat lol, rendering him worthless. so ofc he will ride the 2 movies on thor's hammer that he had given his blood sweat and tears to be worthy of.

but here's the thing. rogers being in the movie is already undermining sam. marvel isn't being magnanimous by "letting" sam have the costume and shield. rogers shouldn't be here at all. because he had l e f t

Chris Hemsworth + onscreen kisses

even his body language is closed off. his hands are behind his back.

he usually has his hands in front when people beside him are speaking:

i know for a fact that he loves downey and evans as much as he loves those other people. yet he is so closed off there. 😔

Here's a clearer look. To me it looks edited yall. They're not in the frame together. Downey is on a box. Evans was supposed to be clean shaven. Even the random theater background looks fake:

It's not even E2 look cause he got leaner for it:

This is specifically the Thor4 look:

I know Chris Hemsworth looks. I live here, I built this city. And it makes sense for them to have him shoot this when he is on set for Thor4 instead of going and disrupting another studio's production.

So you're telling me they had him shoot this 6 fg years ago for them Kang movies and are now using it for Doom lol. But the more important point is how he's being sidelined for these 2. "The big 3" and it's just abt these 2 coming back.

They don't get to go out with fanfare while Thor was the butt of all jokes and then come back with the same grandiose treatment from marvel while Thor is once again on the side being used as the springboard to showcase how they are the greatest villain and hero of all time.
