The number of times "mind blowing" was used in the positive reviews is really making me question how many of them are real? Watched with 5 people who love MCU, sci-fi, and movies in general and all thought this was pretty awful.

Imagine if the writers for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, no, not the fun original series, but the brutally boring full length film, and some disgruntled ex Marvel writers went on a serious bender one night and tried fo figure out the worst possible story arc, then intentionally targeted it towards 12 years olds and aging millennials longing for a simpler time. You know the ones, they buy vinyl records, not because they sound better, but because it is "cool". Now imagine before they went on this bender they binge watched Dr. Who episodes, and no, not the Tom Baker ones, and the movie Betelgeuse. Now imagine they didn't write while they were on the bender, but afterwards, when they were hungover and not feeling very well.

That is a nutshell is Loki.
