I think Thor 4 actually borders on good. The black and white fight scene is actually one of my favorite fights across all the films. It has some good stretches. It also has a bunch of humor that just doesn't land, a lot of which can be chocked up to Taika being given free reign while being stretched too thin and not caring about this as much as some of his other projects.

This. I also felt about 30% of the film's humor landed for me. At least it didn't feel like the actors were trying too hard to be funny. The movie itself did, but they weren't constantly mugging for the camera. I'll also admit I dug the visuals bigtime though. Also I was barely aware of the screaming goats meme so I actually did find it funnier the more it went along. Helped that they were meant to annoy Thor, not that it excuses it completely. At least most of the discourse surrounding it isn't GRRR WHY IS JANE ANOTHER THOR or something idiotic like that.

I feel like the MCU as a whole is going to be fine since it feels like Loki S2 and The Marvels will resonate more with general audiences than Quantumania and even Guardians, though I'm mostly saying that because I think the respective predecessors of the former two are more within recent memory. I like that my two favorite MCU movies of all time were released this decade and yet I'm still getting more and more disillusioned with it though.
