While not stated in that article, Jenkins also voiced support for Thor: Ragnarok. Does that make her a studio hack now? Or are you going to twist this to fit your own retarded narrative? Don't mistake been a professional for voicing support. Jenkins did not like the story. lol

Because this sentence of yours feels like it comes directly from there. If I have to make some sort of interpretation of this and reply to you properly, where does she EVER mention anything about the story of Thor: Ragnarok? Do you actually work at InfoWars?

Her actual words, without spin are as follows.
“I did not believe that I could make a good movie out of the script that they were planning on doing,” “I think it would have been a huge deal – it would have looked like it was my fault. It would’ve looked like, ‘Oh my God, this woman directed it and she missed all these things.’” “[Thor] was the one time in my career where I really felt like, ‘Do this with [another director] and it’s not going to be a big deal. And maybe they’ll understand it and love it more than I do.’
“You can’t do movies you don’t believe in. The only reason to do it would be to prove to people that I could. But it wouldn’t have proved anything if I didn’t succeed. I don’t think that I would have gotten another chance. And so, I’m super grateful.”
So yeah she didn't believe in the script, but thought maybe someone who did could make it work, has happened before, look at WW it's a pretty basic story with many flaws, Jenkins knew how to make the movie to make it work for the most part though, in someone else's hands WW could have easily just becomes a mediocre paint by numbers cbm, Thor 2 didn't have that benefit however.
Also how does Thor 2 being meh make it better or worse than fellow meh movie Dark Phoenix...have you yah marbles again? Assuming you ever had any to being with that is.

Doesn't even sound like she thought it was a bad script. Sounds more like it was something she couldn't get invested in. Like if she didn't know who Wonder Woman was, she could bring in a female's perspective to make it work. And she probably looked at it as her being the next Lexi Alexander if she made a bad movie. No one remembers that it was Alan Taylor that made The Dark World (and Terminator Genisys). But if it was Patty Jenkins... People would remember the woman that made a movie at the bottom of the MCU rankings.

Not a fan of TDW, but at least it has some great moments as opposed to...none, like in Dark Phoenix

On a side note, even ‘Eternals’ is better than ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’.

The trick to watching Thor 2 is to skip all the boring and stupid parts. The rest I actually kinda like and that especially includes anything with Loki and Darcy, who I find hilarious.
Dark Phoenix...the only thing I remember liking was the Dazzler scene, I always kinda liked her and she had her debut in the original Dark Phoenix storyline, circa Uncanny #130. The rest I felt sorry for, I actually started pitying the whole movie, I felt so bad for it. It was awful. It's not the first time they've completely blown trying to tell the Dark Phoenix saga, so it has company, but that's pretty pathetic in its own right.
I think if you're gonna try to ever get this story right, they need to actually write something resembling the comics, with the Hellfire Club, Mastermind and then the Shi'ar because it has to be epic. It has to show how she saves the universe at one point, only to eventually become a danger to it but the X-Men still willing to fight for her--and lose.

I'd say the first half of Thor TDW is actually pretty good. Maybe even the first 2/3. It's that last part that just falls apart. In comparison, I don't recall any redeeming parts in Dark Phoenix.

Yeah, the warm glow I got seeing Dazzler because it's a nod to the original story was pretty much the only thing I found redeeming myself, and that's damning with faint praise of course.
Thor 2 falls apart because the antagonists are but cardboard cutouts of the characters whose names they bear. I remember Malekith and the soulstealing cookies and The Caske of Ancient Winters and poor Angrim who becomes the (almost) unstoppable Kurse, but manages to survive it all and later on help out the little Asgardian kids when dealing with a Troll. Malekith had personality, he was funny and you kinda rooted for him because he had some panache. Kurse had angst, he could evoke some sympathy. All that seemed to be missing from the characters in the film whose names were on them.

I like Thor: The Dark World. I don't understand the hate. Maybe if I'd never read Simonson's Thor and thus never encountered how well he handled the Warriors Three, Malekith and Kurse I wouldn't have been so disappointed with how they turned out in this movie.
I just re-watched "Thor: The Dark World" and couldn't help but skip over everything involving pretty much everyone but Thor, Loki, Frigga (lovely funeral scene) and Thor's Midgard crew, and still had to cringe with what they did with Erik Selvig and the no-pants jokes. Ugh.
The rest I still kinda like. I did love Thor's trick with Loki and of course Loki's trick with Odin at the end...
