The director did NOTHING but comedies before this. Did you know that?

For one, the director made NOTHING but comedies in New Zealand! This was his American debut! Second, the comedy totally ruins dramatic scenes! The whole film was entirely unbalanced! I hated how it mocked and played-up-for-laughs scenes from Thor's previous appearances! It totally changed many of my favorite characters like Hela (making her into Odin's daughter when she is supposed to be Loki's daughter like in the comic and real mythology) and Fenrir!
(The decision to make Hela related to Thor, as opposed to Loki as in the comics and Norse mythology, came from needing more impact with Hela and Thor's final confrontation. By making the change, Pearson felt Hela became "the thing that [represents] what it is to rule Asgard, [Thor's] family, what he's been told, what he hasn't been told.")
Killing off characters for no other reason then pointless shock value! Like Odin and the Warriors Three with the makes saying that it "served to establish the threat of Hela and the danger she poses to the main characters".
Skurge is supposed to be the bodyguard to Enchantress, not Hela!
Destroying Thor's hammer and then altering his appearance like that with Director Taika Waititi adding that "stripping" the character down like this allowed him to become a refugee at the end of the film as well as wanting to use more of Hemsworth's comedic talents showcased in films like Vacation (2015) and Ghostbusters (2016) and cited Kurt Russell's portrayal of Jack Burton from Big Trouble in Little China as an influence on the character. WTF!?
Making Valkyrie into a Space Warrior and not an Asgardian!? Ditching Jane and her family like that with NO build-up!? WTF!?
Hulk was not even SUPPOSED to be in the film, he was just thrown in at the very last moment during production! Hulk's "fame" was blown WAY out of proportion! Also, Hulk's ASS summed the movie up in a nutshell!
In the end, Hela isn't even defeated by Thor! But by SUTUR (done by a wasted Clancy Brown)! Asgard is destroyed with the bullshit of Asgard NOT being Asgard!
The Sci-Fi elements did NOT mix with the fantasy!
The film was just a cluttered, unfocused, mess!
Sorry I went on a rant there, but this movie pissed me off being a die-hard Marvel comic fan...

While I don't agree with you, I do see your point. It is a bit of a messy movie, but I found the mix of sci-fi and fantasy genre so surreal that it worked for me.
Regarding the changes from comic and mythology, yeah, there is a lot of changes, but it didn't really bother me. It is a different medium, an adaptation, they had to approach it differently. What works in comics doesn't necessarily work in movies. Marvel movies are usually amalgamation of best things from comics that inspired them, and usually it works well.
And the Hulk, I can't help it, I love the him, no matter how they use him. Just seeing him on screen makes me squeal
No need to apologize, I love reading comments like these, it really gives me a new perspective on movies

I am at least glad that you understand my side.

At least in Wonder Woman, the human allies survived, most of them anyways.
Anyways, if Thor: Ragnarok's good, then it's good.

Now I'm even more excited to see this! I didn't read the pros or cons for spoiler reasons, but green is good! Haha.

Indeed. A drastic improvement over the Spider-Man Homecoming poster
