I've been thinking a lot whether I wanna put my opinion here...
I saw many positive reviews toward this film, but I just dont have the same vibe with them.
I have fun, smiled and laughed thru most of this movie, tho I left theater without lasting impression.
After some time thinking, I come into conclusion:
This movie was inconsistent.
It was comedic, parody, colorful and fun, but they hid big problem to the character of Thor.
This was not a step forward, this was a step backward to the character.
Thor was a superhero, he was God of Thunder. He was very powerful.
He tried to stop ragnarok,
Tho he lost mjolnir, he still tried to defeat Hela and defend asgard,
He then able to inspire and gather powerful team to face stronger opponent.
Those were traits of superhero.
Those were great.
But...at the end,
He was standing beside Hulk-strongest creature in universe, Loki-god of trickster and Valkrye-strong fighter, feeling powerless against Hela and decided to destroy asgard.
He initiated ragnarok so all asgard destroyed along with Hela.
I dont understand why the director/writer decided to make Thor-Hulk-Loki-Valkrye tag team to flee from enemy and let their planet be destroyed.
Yes asgard was just a place, but that place was defended by hundreds of asgardian who died protecting it. A place where he initially successfully stop ragnarok, a place where all his friends (who was not god of some sort) bravely stood their ground and sacrifice their life for.
Would a superhero at least respect the dead by defending asgard (not to mention he has hulk and loki alongside him also)?
Why the director chose this path?
Why not from beginning somehow someone (maybe Odin) spoke wisdom to all asgardian warriors that they should just flee when faced with very strong godly opponenet? Why we tolerate Thor for his fleeing?
Is it because we love the comedy? Is it because the stunning performance of comedic god?
Thor destroyed his own planet which his men died protecting,
He has Hulk and Loki but decided to flee.
He could have just let Heimdall flee with all civilians, but he and his team remain to fight till the end (and as superhero movie Thor should have just win).
What if Thor have to defend earth and decided to follow Odin's wisdom to leave earth destroyed cos it's just a place?
And why most of reviewer praise this movie for its comedy, fun and parody? This movie is damaging the superhero character of Thor.
Heroism was that asian-character warrior who fight Hela to the end even though he knew he will never win,
Even Hela knew not to surrender against Surtur.

I love first Thor, everytime the film played in HBO I still watched it.
'That version of Thor' willing to die for human while he lost his power and mjolnir.
That's heroic, that's superhero character.
I feel like watching big tragedy but all we think of was how good the comedy was.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone...
It might be a reboot, but i just disagree with the path they took.
