Tags.. because people conveniently forget those were things, in Ragnarok: and blame it on the gay hate instead of what disliking -both- films actually is: they were both of them, very bad out of character films in the franchise: as out of character and universe/s, not to mention the running premise and basic concept of the franchise itself making the terms phase 3 and phase 4 a thing. The Thor corner started going off track with Gagnarok.

But and yes; just as he promised to back then? Waititi absolutely was keeping his promises to destroy the title and every character in it, all the way through into Love and Thunder. (Yes those at that link are Taika's actual, official interviews at the time screen shotted and scanned in from varied articles published both on the web and in hard print at the time.)

#not everyone loved Gagnarok #or Waititi #and it had NOTHING to do with 'the gays' other than the start of some of the shittiest representation in the industry #ir had everything to do with him admitting and bragging about destroying every character in that first film;#along with the premise of the entirety of both franchises (MCU itself and Thor as a sub of it) he was hired to continue on #Valkyrie - their first POC female character was made into an unapologetic slave trader trading the title character to a death arena #Thor - all of his character development recognizing Odin; Frigga and Asgard's racist imperialist shit up to that point? Trashed to retcon->#him back to the arrogant prick mode that had him pursuing genocide to get banished in the first film #Loki - downgraded; demeaned and depowered into what Taika himself referred to as a tortured emo goth boy: while ignoring he was the king ->#who rebuilt Asgard for 5 years on the throne letting Odin's face take credit for it : AND had them doing well enough TO watch plays->#AND separated the Infinity stones that whole time AS king; not to mention the fact he planned getting Thor out of slavery IMMEDIATELY:->#only to be ignored on screen until Thor left Loki behind and on perpetual electrocution the OTHER slaves Loki rescued after; stopped later #Bruce - conveniently forgets he was thinking of leaving the Avengers because Wanda setting the Hulk loose in AoU had proven that ->#even years of prep later; no one on earth could actually stop him from killing more people or ruining more lives: and that is exactly what-#Val was continuing by feeding Hulk people to kill in Sakaar's arena #Ganarok aka Ragnarok was a shitshow #and every film and series coming from it since has had problems in part because they've been following Waititi's idiot-cues and tendencies #the reason it's called phase 3 and 4?#is because 4 follows after 3's story and so on: that was the POINT OF and major challenge to the project as early in as 2008 with IM1 #Waititi egotistical idiot that he is: understood that and decided to fuck it over on purpose anyway #gen fans patted him on the back for it & handed him their money #&'gay' gen fans still do too: while ignoring the fact that Val's status as a slave trader AS one of those gay reps was never addressed OR -#'fixed' in any way either #or at least some of them do #have a look at the tags below mine in notes if you don't think so.#yeah; they exist #Loki #Thor #thor ragnorak #Gagnarok
