Which director do you trust will give you a better MCU movie? Would you rather watch a Taika-directed GOTG movie or a Gunn-directed Thor movie?

Probably Gunn.

I like 'em both.
Can't choose.

I'm more partial to Waititi myself. I think Gunn has a bit more of a tendency to go overboard with his humor and quirkiness. Not that Taika doesn't, just think his humor is a bit more lowkey.

Probably James Gunn. I did really enjoy Thor: Ragnarok but the Guardians of the Galaxy movies just so perfectly fit Gunn's sensibilities. Even if I didn't enjoy the second one as much as the first one.

I like Gunn but Ragnarok was just too awesome.

I'll give the edge to Taika Waititi. James Gunn went a little too self-indulgent with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 whereas the comedy in Thor: Ragnarok flowed naturally except for that one moment when Korg jokes about Asgard's destruction, which we could have done without.

I’ll go with Gunn. Both have a habit of bringing humor into otherwise dramatic moments, but their method is different in the MCU:
-Gunn would subvert a serious moment afterwards with a joke (scene with Kraglin and Nebula)
-Waititi would try to be serious immediately AFTER a joke (scene with Korg and the destruction of Asgard)
I find the former more tolerable, especially since there were still serious moments that stayed serious in GOTG (Yondu’s death).
I’ll add that I like Waititi more OUTSIDE of the MCU and I like Gunn’s MCU movies more than his non-MCU movies.

I enjoyed both Guardian films and won’t fault Gunn on either of them but Thor: Ragnarok was something special.

It's a difficult choice. Both made two of my favourite comic book movies. I couldn't imagine how one doing the others film would turn out.
