Alan, TK, if it helps you feel any better, all the parts that actually centre around the Norse apocalypse referred to as "Ragnarok" are serious and emotional; however this film heavily adapts a Hulk storyline and it's those parts which are heavily humourous, as well as all of the parts made original for the film plot.

Was the movie funny where it was trying to be funny? Yes.

Did the movie have emotionally gripping scenes which were not disrupted by comedy, accentuated by fantastic direction and acting? Yes.

Is it a faithful adaptation of either the Norse Ragnarok or Thor: Ragnarok? No. Should it be? No. It's unrelated to either except in the one part that is actually about the Ragnarok. Everything about Surtr coming to destroy Asgard was sad and handled well.

Should a film which centres around Marvel Thor, in his MCU self, be comedic? Of fucking course the man is a parody character.

Was the film a good funny film? Yes.

Was the film a great emotionally moving and dramatic film? Yes.

Are these two possible at the same time? Yes.

Is the title misleading due to the relative lack of prominence of the events of Ragnarok? Hel yes.

Is the film awesome? Damn fucking right it is.

Is piracy a horrible thing to do especially on the basis of the name of a film, let alone at all? Yes, and you should be ashamed to boast about it. Piracy is terrible. What you're really burning is the future of the Australian film industry.

Also, was the film respectful to: Germanic culture, Maori culture and Indigenous Australian culture? Yes. It was great especially in that aspect, as Taika is so good at doing.

Is it worth watching in cinemas? Hell yes, the audio is so well designed that it's a shame not to watch it in that area, and the visuals are so painstakingly well done that it'd be a waste not to see them in the proper definition.
