Ragnarok saved the entire franchise because they were getting dirtier and grittier with each movie and it wasn't fun anymore. it remade thor from a stiff boring space cop into a funny and relatable star.

it also further pulled the MCU towards "funny goofy" stuff and away from the gritty depressing nihilist realism of the first set of movies. i think guardians started that trend, and then ant man and homecoming kept it going, but ragnarok really cemented it.

It's an ebb and flow, soon we'll get goofy self-aware over-self referntial ironic movies and that'll be everything they make, and then we'll get a GriMDaRK iron man origins reboot and it'll be universally aplauded for such grittiness and realism

I always wonder how people feel about their weird novelty zeitgeist purchases like 20 years after it was relevant for all of 30 seconds. The closest I can think of having something like that was the Princess Di beanie baby that my parents bought.

No one thought he would be acquitted

The Democrats winning a vote to introduce witnesses and immediately stepping on their own dicks by refusing to exercise the power they voted for? That's pretty loving funny.
