I enjoyed it, except for
Making Korg gay and presenting it has if his whole species was male after he clearly mentions(in Ragnarok) his mom and her boyfriend being the only ones who showed up for his rebellion.

Lack of actual Moon Knight and building up to something awesome we never got.
Also dont see how anyone can see having the climax of the season happen during a blackout and not shown as anything other than complete bullshit

Moon Knight barely had any Moon Knight and the writing was dumb as all hell (yeah, most MCU writing is shit, I'll still complain about it). Oscar Isaac's acting was about the only good thing in it.

It was only slightly woke. And not really gay at all. They talked about Valk "loving" the other female Valk's. And she misses them. Korg also tells a story about there only being male rock people. 2 dads walk down and hold hands over lava. Then after a while, a new rock person appears when they finally take their hands apart. Thor was a little cucked. The movie talked about Thor blocking his heart. Never opening up to people, just to prevent getting hurt in the future, and this is entirely because he fell for Jane. Then they started to grow apart before completely splitting up.
The music was interesting. There was the traditional "marvel" intro, but they retooled it with guitars instead of synthesizers. It went from that guitar intro to Enya's, "Only Time".
Then right into GNR's "Welcome to the Jungle". They also had a funny in-movie commercial for Old Spice starring Valk. Other songs are Guns N' Roses "Paradise City", Abba's "Our Last Summer", Mary J. Bilge's "Family Affair", GNR's "Sweet Child of Mine", Ciera's "Goodies", GNR's November Rain, and Dio's "Rainbow in the Dark".
There were 2 after-credit scenes.
Introduces Hercules, the son of Zeus. Nothing happens, just says the name and a guy stands up to acknowledge that he is Hercules.
This one confirms the existence of Valhalla. That's Asgard's version of Heaven, so everyone that died in Thor 1 -> 3 are bound to be there.

i dont think its dead, but the direction of the MCU is rudderless at the moment. phase 4 is a dud. maybe phase 5 will make sense.

One thing that was kind of off putting for me was Jane's humor and tone. It's been a while since I've seen Thor 1 or 2 but I remember Jane being much more serious to go along with the overall pre-ragnarok tone. They tried to ragnarok'ify Jane too much, which combined with her fighting cancer, just seemed off. The banter about her catch phrase was super cringe to me.
Chunky Kat was a disappointment too.

After giving it some thought, I think I know what was bothering me about Thor. He's the Harley Quinn of the Marvel universe. They pushed his personality too far to the point that he's just annoying. The whole 'I am an Idiot and oblivious' routine is so, so old.
Gor was wasted in this movie. He was fantastic and could have carried 3 films as a villain if this was done right.

Eternity looked fantastic. The kids scene at the end was CRINGE as hell, like I actually had to look away it was so bad.

Hopefully they sell Marvel to someone who cares about the actual story and not "the message".

Marvel is fine where it is, even their creepy SJW phase wouldnt be as bad as it is if they had a coherent point or story arch to build up to. Harshaw says this is a rebuilding phase, which is fine and expected, but the building needs to look like a building at some point, right now it looks like a bunch of mismatched girders and beams.
Marvel given to any other studio would end up worse than it is now. they arre all woke assholes lacking creativity or respect for their properties.

We knew this was gonna happen. You aren't going to be locking down actors for 30 years. With all the shit going down Marvel is still putting out content better than what DC is doing. That ship is dead in the water at this point besides Black Adam and Shazam.

What?
Why would bringing in new characters mean it all needs to be shitty?
Peacemaker and Doom Patrol are great.
The last Suicide Squad and the Snyder cut of Justice League are also better than a lot of the shit marvel has put out lately.

The other problem is that there is no underlying theme. In Phase 1, each solo movie had a tie to the larger Infinity War end goal. RIght now, its a dude. They should have transitioned to Secret Wars right off the bat, laying a clear path.
I could care less about Hercules. That reveal was so bad. What WOULD have been great is a Dr. Doom Easter Egg leading into FF and prepping Secret Wars. Handled correct, Secret Wars could be bigger than Infinity War. But that is looking truly doubtful.
