If they had gone all in on the first film I’d probably feel different but they didn’t, they diluted it too.
The Warriors Three felt so completely useless (and character-less) in those first two movies, that it felt way better just getting Valkyrie and Korg, who both seemed better (Valkyrie as a character, and Korg as comic relief) for the way they decided to go with Thor.
So yeah, I liked them blowing it up, I don’t think I’d be as excited for another Thor movie if they kept it chugging along the same route after Thor 2. I like this idea of him as a Space Viking - it sounds stupidly 80’s hair metal, but I love it. I’m sure one day there will be a more comics accurate rendition, but I’m happy with what we have at the moment!
