It's a mature film that delves into the psyche, the mind, and the unconscious, and deals with deep subjects such as mental health, depression, anxiety, fear, guilt, and is a therapy for trauma and mental breakdown. The central arc is Yelena, and it's a sort of sequel to Black Window, but the movie could have been called Sentry or The Void because it also deals with him. It's emotional, has good action scenes, and a villain who couldn't be defeated by even the most powerful superhero. But it didn't touch me; I felt it was superficial and lacked depth. It needed more development of the subjects, more action scenes, and more scenes with the villain. It does leave a message of brotherhood and empathy, but it lacked development, not simply because of "the power of friendship."
I liked it a lot. Despite the fact that the film was supposed to be a comedy because of how the character has been treated lately turning him into a clown, it has drama, action and epicness... And a lot of love. The villain is well-constructed, his origin-to-end story arc is very good, though I'm sure comic book lovers will say he sucks. The scene with the empowered children was a perfect touch. Using Zeus for the issue of inclusion and progressivism was funny, not forced at all; and the thing about Korg makes sense because he's just rocks. The Jane Fonda arc... I mean, Jodie Foster... I mean, Jane Foster and what she did at the end was fine, and the scene with Thor was very emotional and deep. Taika Waititi definitely convinced me this time, he gave us a good installment.
The mid-credit scene was very interesting, let's see what happens with Thor's future, and the post-credit scene was satisfactory.
