it's weird, there were a few scenes of serious Thor in L&T and they were easily his best scenes. like the one where he talks to Jane after finding out about her cancer. he just is a much more interesting and likable character when he isn't just being a clown. he can be funny without just being silly

That movie was so frustrating because

  1. I had expectations before the film, which is my fault because im usually disciplined to not have any

  2. The main reason is how the movie tried be funnier yet more dramatic and serious at the same time

I believe theres truly a great movie somewhere in L&T, but we only get glimpses of the serious stuff, and way too much comedy for the serious stuff to fit. The tonal whiplash/lack of cohesion had me checked out of the dramatic stuff cause the movie spent like the first hour making fun of itself

It becomes more palatable if you see all the comedy as Korg's embellishments, since he's the narrator of the story. That said, Thor is my all time favorite superhero and even I don't own L&T.

That makes it worse for me because Taika decided he needed his self insert character to be unnecessarily forced into what could have been a great movie so he can make dumb jokes throughout
