The Single Biggest Mistake Each MCU Film And TV Show Has Made
24. Thor: Ragnarock - Too Much Comedy, No Drama Whatsoever
By far the most over-praised MCU film, Thor: Ragnarok really put comedy first and foremost above anything else, and this was arguably to the film's detriment.
Yes, the film can be very funny on occasion, but this relentless commitment to goofy jokes comes at the expense of memorable action or a remotely compelling story. This is a movie where Thor loses his eye, his dad, battles his evil sister and has to sacrifice his home world, so you'd think that this film would have some emotional core, but no, not at all. You don't really feel any of its emotional beats and the action scenes are largely forgettable too.
Furthermore, given that comedy is probably the genre of film with the lowest rewatchability, and given that the picture offers so little else aside from its jokes, Thor: Ragnarok is unlikely to hold up well in the future.
The next solo Thor film, Love and Thunder, was rightly described as an example of how comedy can kill a movie, but it's a bit odd that so many viewers were so surprised by this, given that Ragnarok actually has many of Love and Thunder's problems. More on Thor's next solo outing soon though.
