I'm sorry, you're trolling MCU/super hero movie fans if you think Thor Ragnarok is worse than Thor 2. Your opinion is opinion, but it's factually incorrect and I think You're here to troll/hate on the director who you call out by name.

Funnily enough, I watched Thor 2 two weeks ago during my most recent Marvel watch-through, and other than a slightly lackluster final battle, I literally can't understand what people have against it. Great characterization and development for Loki, Thor, Odin, and Jane, a truly crushing moment with the death of Thor's mom, Christopher Eccleston's excellent villain, and a great cliff-hanger ending with Loki replacing Odin - I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. It's not amazing, but it's definitely in the top half of Marvel movies. Much better than crap like Iron Man 3 and Captain Marvel.

If you're this bothered by someone having a different opinion than yours, maybe a thread about people disliking popular movies isn't for you.

Downvote away fella, funny you bring up my being "bothered by someone having a different opinion" when I didn't bother down voting you.

Also you're casting shade on an accomplished directors entire body of work pretty freely there, might it be that you have some bias against a certain jene c'est quoi that you'd rather not have "shoved down your throat"?

You might be taking crazy pills, or you're just unhappy with progression of society and digging into the trenches defending more traditionally themed movies, despite their not even close to mediocrity.

I downvoted you because your comment didn't contribute productively to the thread, which, I remind you, is about unpopular opinions about movies.

You downvoted me because you're mad about my opinion and offended that I downvoted you. I'm sure you can figure out the difference.

might it be that you have some bias against a certain jene c’est quoi that you’d rather not have “shoved down your throat”?

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, unless you're implying that I'm somehow bigoted for not liking Taika's work, which I wasn't aware was considered especially progressive. Also, it's je ne sais quoi.

Doing a whole lotta unfounded theorycrafting there bucko. Maybe I just don't like the director that you seem strangely attached to, and maybe you should go touch some grass instead of getting oddly worked up at a stranger on the internet over literally nothing.

Also, I don't see this conversation becoming productive from here, so I likely won't respond any further.
