Way to miss the metaphor, and the movie agrees with you more than you think. Read the essay.

I read the article. And the fact is that everything there isn't as deep as you and that author so desperately want it to be. There are other films tackling these issues with much more nuance and blunt realism. (1/3)

You are simply applying a framework of your own world view over the skeleton of superhero movies and saying, "yeah, that sorta fits" before writing a personal diatribe under the banner of "film analysis". (2/3)

For the record, I don't agree with all Zain's points here. I quite enjoy when big movies, comic book movies, etc, tap into deeper themes. I thought BP did a fantastic job in this. But Ragnarok... no. "Real talk." If the point was about "colonialism", it failed to dramatize it. /1

If pressed to say Ragnarok was “about” anything other than comedy, I can think of a half dozen things I’d say before “colonialism”. (And did Asgard ever actually colonize? Or just raze and pillage?) /2
