My opinion disagrees. It says many people should resonate with Thor in Love and Thunder more. It was in my opinion's opinion that the portrayal was quite accurate in grasping the human psyche.

There are times when the world hits you so much it borders on the absurd. So you detach yourself. See everything as an observer of a play. Everything becomes an act and a joke. You see everyone as clowns and comedians putting on a show with such mock seriousness that it makes you want to drive your meat puppet into joining them.
In the wake of tragedy, only comedy remains.

A return from that state of mind is also welcome. Life continues. Nature's cycle doesn't stop. We adapt or perish, in body and in mind.
Thor never stopped changing, nor should he. We were all cringe once and will be again, should circumstances allow it.

My opinion sees rejection of Love and Thunder not a rejection of Thor's portrayal, but a rejection of ourselves at our weakest, when we strive to reemergence from a protective cocoon, awkwardly trying to remember who we once were while also grasping at who we are now.

Thor in Love and Thunder is someone who has the courage to believe in themselves again despite the unchanging, uncaring world. He is meant to be awkward, meant to be cringe and we should love and admire him as such all the more for it.

Therefore, in my humble opinion's opinion, in Doomsday, the seriousness will be welcome as it means he will have overcome his previous growing self.
