  1. With his absurd powers, he is kind of forced into the "bound by duty" side character role, else he will either dominate the whole setting or you have to break him all the time and ignore what he actually COULD do, what is even worse.

  2.  @theunknowncommenter725  And that's exactly how you shouldn't handle magic. As a bad excuse to just write whatever you want. Yes: you don't have to and even shouldn't explain everything regarding magic, since the mystical part of it is the fun of of it and the way for example Harry Potter uses it takes most the interesting part out of it, even more when further ruined by a childish story in which all adults are simply braindead (and for example something like a polymorph potion is treatead as if no other wizard ever heared about it and alike) But of course, you, as the writer, should still have the concept of your setting and the laws of its world in your mind. What is possible, what Isn't and why, no matter if you explain it or not, but in the end this will make sure, that your world and plot will still follow the consistency. And it not clear, there is no problem with having a character come up with an idea and have some other character tell, why this isn't possible or too risky or whatever (and please without them doing it anway and that 1:10000000 chance still working because plot armor, that's even worse...).

  3.  @Kromiball  It's indeed very easy to fix most mess of best selling books and stories these days. Overall a single writer can always have the problem to be a single person and just overlook something, even if it's super stupid, but you simply did not think about it. But when you look at movies: hell, thousands of people work on that and you can't tell me, that none of them, even if you only take that decision making % at the top did not see how fucking stupid it is. When I write stories, I love when people tive me feed back, so I can't improve it and my writing skill overall.

  4. Worst part is, to have a reality changing witch and she cries around about having babies. Hell, create some, impregnate yourself, clone yourself, whatever, change yourself into a man and Dr. Strange in a woman and make 'him' carry out the baby - likely Satan because evil book - or whatever else someone with that power could come up with, but what's the fucking point of that stupid shit show we got instead? She could likely just have changed all those slaughtered magicians into her kids. As a writer you got all the free choice of your settings and characters and their power and no one forces you to chose something super duper over the top and whatever. But if you do, you have to work with it. And if you don't want to or can't work with it: choose a different setting and characters...

  5. Biggest problem there is the mixture of a very serious plot line with a god slayer who is even an intersting villains, since he's kind of a Prometeus who wants to free mortals from the chains of the gods - and a stupid chain of childish jokes, what on itself could work halfway well, if you wouldn't mix it. Ragnarök worked, because Thor's sister was a 100% cartoon villain who was simply evil for the sake of being evil, so her actual impact on the movie was borderline zero. You could cut her out and it wouldn't change much.

  6. It's a big problem with many fantasy writing (and super heroes are in the end just that: fantasy, not even something like Iron Man got anything halfway scientific left - beside the whole problem, that you don't solve a single problem by just blowing stuff up). Maybe Batman gets close enough, since in the end he's still a human being, though as soon as you combine that with other DC heroes on fantasy level, this also quickly becomes absurd. Same for other on that level like Captain America, who in the ened is simply a human with a bit more strength and stamina. Powerlevel are all over the place and the sole reason it worked a bit better with Marvel is simply them making it mor cartoonish than DC did, though all the massive problems since start were ignoreable enough for many viewers. In the end: it did not even get much worse. It's still the same problem since start, writers just give a fuck to actually spend any effort into creating a halfway working story line with good protagonists AND antagonists who both use what the got to reach their goal. Even the Avengers movies were in the end pretty garbage from the start. Those alien armies were always a joke, pretty much every single antagonists an absolute idiot, their plans never making any sense and when the last Avengers movie just use an absolute ass-pulled version of time travel in the absolute worst you can use the already questionable concept of time travel = to just solve all your problem, hell, in comparison to that even that Universe of Madness movie made much more sense, becasue as stupid as the reason for the shitshow of Scarlet Witch had been, you could explain it with the book making her stupid evil. Doesn't really make the movie any better, but it's at least better than reducing one of the most iconic MC villains to an idiotic brute so the protagonists don't even need an actual plan or whatever, just some plot armor time travel nonsense. Why not just use the original? Was way more fitting, especially for something like the infnity stones which are a ridiculous plot to begin with (and their power level is also all over the place, even inside the same movie...).

  7.  @JdeMolay  I get the idea behing it and overall it's good to have some faith in yourself and what you are doing, you need that to overcome obstacles in your life. But what they make out of it, is just awful. Just believe in yourself and you will reach your goal. Thanks god it doesn't work that way, because you know which people believe the most in themselves without much doubt? Evil people...

  8. It's hard to take you people seriusouyl with your "lefties" nonsense. The whole feminism and woke BS is a right wing distraction show. And yes, your US dems are 100% brutal right wing neolib assholes. The whole show about "we care for people and diversity and whatever" is pure farce. Leftism got one basic core: human rights. That's all. What 'wokism' and alike is making out of that is just abuse and a ririduclous caricatur - with which they make you push against your own rights and distract you with pretty much nothing. Whole 3rd wave feminsim was solely created in the USA to distract people from the uprising against all the appearing holes in the capitlistic system. Simple explanation: if MEN are the problem, then RICH men (and women) can lay back and continue to rob you, because people waste all their energy and time on a fight that is unwinable, because the actul problem doesn't even exist, it's fiction.

  9.  @nabilahmed579  The idea, that the hammer protects her because Thor's love and his order was even fine. The way they played it out (and ffs, that child soldier army) was the bad part. If you focus on Jane Fosters again, do it for real - and leave out all the dumb joke. Between Thor's love dying (why ever you can't heal something like that aside) and the tragic crusade of the God Slayer against everythin divine, there simply is no room left for dumb jokes. It just ruines each other completely.
