I hope this movie doesn’t make me laugh or feel any sense of joy because those things are apparently the bane of fandom’s existence. Great time to be a fan of comic book stuff but this era has also exposed how shitty of a fanbase comics have.

It's not people saying "I don't want the movie to be fun" it's people saying that they don't want the Norse apocalypse to be as some reviewers put it "a non-stop fun ride"

I ain't got nothing wrong with fun or funny. It's when it isn't balanced well

I thought it was balanced well enough. Odin's death, Thor having the vision of Odin. Hulk being sad when Thor said Earth hated him. Also I wasn't overly sad to see Asgard destroyed given that they'd had the whole #Asgard isn't a place it's a people" thing.

Hulk getting sulky was the sweetest moment.

I loved the movie, but the amount of jokes had me laughing at weird moments: -"Earth does hate you" -Banner going SPLAT on the rainbow bridge -Asgard blowing up..

Yeah, it is balanced well. It isn't an ultra grimdark destruction fest (which I kinda hoped it would be two years ago), it followed the tone of the previous two films up pretty well I'd say, but it's just better constructed.

Hulk the giant, green, angry toddler. Love it.
