Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi justified his character assassination of Thor in those two films claiming it was for “the greater good of the franchise as a whole.”
Confession: I was a fan of Ragnarok. Hated Love and Thunder. I suspect that Waitiki doesn't have a lot of range when it comes to writing. Everything he makes is really just some version of Ragnarok. I agree that it was not a good way to handle the material. Thor is meant to represent a godlike power, even if he is a Norse mythological figure. Treating him like a joke was the first step toward effectively emasculating him. That was just more obvious in Love and Thunder, but it was already there in Ragnarok.
he has his agenda and worships demons, which ironically involved making fun of characters invented by freemasons (stan lee et al) that are "inspired" by real world demons?
What he's probably referring to was what he saw as the need for Thor to lose Jane and end up with the responsibility for a kid. And sure, fine; that may or may not be the case, but Waititi seems constitutionally incapable of realizing that not every story fits with his brand of humor (or his politics, but there he's no different from most of the rest of Hollywood).
Never trust an anti-White fucking director whose name you can’t pronounce .

I would love to see a true-to-myth treatment of the Norse pantheon with Hemsworth as Thor.
Tell the real story, the way it should be told.
Its nice to see Hemsworth has some testosterone in him and isn't just a pretty boy. Hollywood is lacking in real, genuine men.

As Tolkien said through Gandalf:
"evil will oft evil mar."
Take-a Wetshitty knows his career is over. Might as well burn it all down to the ground now.
Am I the only one who has never watched any of the Marvel movies?
(Might have seen some of one of the Cap America movies on a plane. Can’t really remember.)
