Pretty sure I can survive alone for 2 days in a crappy environment without falling in love with the first hot chick I meet. Will I be happy for her company? Absolutely. Doesn't mean I'll develop such a strong connection to her that I will throw away my princely duties just to be with her. That makes Thor look immature and completely negates the supposed personality development he had.
As for Thor's personality change... like I said, it doesn't matter what criticism I make, you'll turn a blind eye to it and cover your ears. If you think it only takes 2 days to completely change habits and traits you've developed for hundreds of years well... then there's no reasoning with you.
I just listed 2 completely legitimate problems of MCU movies. Problems that have been pointed out time and again by multiple people. Just because YOU don't think they're problems doesn't mean that they aren't. I bet if I say that Malekith is a ridiculously weakly developed villain that you'd go and defend that as well.
I don't need to prove it. You said it was a flaw. I explained why I don't see it as one, and I'm not sure why you're more interested in making a negative out of it.
So did you have a problem when the Godfather had Michael fall in love with Apollonia instantly during "the thunderbolt" scene? Because that was one of the best scenes in the film. I've had a couple of instant connections with girls, so this seems very realistic if you ask me. It makes it incredibly powerful actually.
It's weird you're saying I turn a blind eye to criticism, which assumes that your criticism is the proper view, and it's not you turning a blind eye to the well crafted nature of these scenes.
If all you were going to do is list these two examples and say they're problems whether I like it or not, then I'd kindly suggest it is you who is not open to even attempting to look at these as well done elements of the film. The point for me is to enjoy them, I don't know about you.
I told you I enjoy everything in the MCU, and while Malekith certainly doesn't get a lot of backstory I agree, did he need to? We understand that his dark universe origin has been overtaken by the continued development and expansion of the universe and he wants it back the way it was. I compare it to a native American who might wish to return America to the natural setting his/her people lived in before settlers overran the place. To me that makes him somewhat compelling, and I did enjoy his look and no nonsense serious personality.
Is there something that is actually bad in the MCU?
Is there something that is actually bad in the DCEU?
