As far as I'm concerned, the criticisms against it are all storms in a teacup.I love that Taika got to have Thor give a shout-out to the Māori god of war, Tūmatauenga, and put an unidentified Māori goddess in the crowd in Omnipotent City.I also had no issue with Thor not going to ask those gods for help to stop Thanos. I think the only reason he went to ask for help in this movie is because he thought they would help a fellow god. I still wouldn't be surprised if the opening of the multiverse had something to do with it as well, though.One thing I'm ever so slightly disappointed about here, though, is the "truth" about gods in the MCU. I felt like Thor and his fellow Asgardian "gods" were originally portrayed as being not really gods but actually super advanced space aliens - although there was always something magical about them nevertheless. But this movie makes it seem like all the beings we think of as gods are both a) real and b) space aliens. They're not really supernatural beings from some other dimension. Well, I suppose some might normally live in other dimensions but they come to Omnipotent City to hang out there ... and Omnipotent City is just like a giant space station hanging in some nebula somewhere in outer space. Kinda weird really.</blockquote>
