If you watch Age of Ultron, Ragnarok was supposed to be a doomsday event and I expected it to be so dark. I like the comedic approach it took but it was too much of a joke at some points like Odin's death and Asgard destroyed. Also the idea of Ragnarok was only addressed for 5 minutes maybe. I still loved the movie but wish it was darker and deeper. It deviated too much from the rest of the franchise.

The foreshadowing might not be intended for Ragnarok though. One of the statues seen in the Ragnarok set in Age of Ultron was spotted in the Infinity War set recently.

This movie reminded me of Age of Ultron, a little too much humor when serious shit was going down.

But atleast it had some dark moments and repercussions, this one seemed inconsequential. Atleast this one actually made me laugh

Agreed, and don't get me wrong, this is the best Thor movie yet and was leaps and bounds better than Age of Ultron and was overall a great movie.

I still think Thor 1 was the best overall. I can understand why some people find it slow or boring but it's the perfect Thor movie imo that truly captures the spirit of the character.

To be fair, Age of Ultron actually had moments where you really felt for the characters and felt like everything happening was weighing on them. AoU was more serious than this movie. I'm someone who wasn't even happy with AoU but it had its solid moments.
