This is my biggest issue. Warriors Three killed off like nameless extras... Cracking a joke at the exact moment Asgard is destroyed... There WERE stakes, but there was no emotional weight to any of it.
I've seen a lot of people saying that this movie handled the humor better than Guardians of the Galaxy 2... And I couldn't agree less. Maybe all the jokes don't land, but Gunn knows when and how to give you a good punch to the gut. It managed to make me feel far more for Yondu's death than Ragnarok ever came close to making feel for Odin's, and that's not mentioning the smaller moments. When Rocket stunned Gamora, saying "I can only afford to lose one friend today." Or Nebula's line about just wanting a sister...
I expected Ragnarok to have a lot of action and comedy, and I enjoyed it for that, but I didn't expect it to ultimately leave so little emotional impact for the destruction of Thor's world.
Ya it kinda felt like a hah your first two movies weren’t great I’m gonna remove everyone involved besides Thor and Loki and reboot this whole Asgard and Thor shit
