But then I figured much like the first movie that Luis isn't exactly that reliable of a story-teller. After having 5 good villains in a row in recent movies, I agree that Marvel can't now get lazy and start giving us some bullcrap, which I hope won't be the case with Ghost or even Sonny Burch.

I dunno. I wasn't really a big fan of Hela TBH. I mean, I love Cate Blanchett, but I felt her character needed a lot more fleshing out. Hela's not among the worst MCU villains, but she's definitely not among the best either; she's about where Ultron and Kaecilius are for me. I brought up the last 5 since I've heard others praise each of them for their own reason, but in the end it's all subjective in the end. I was a fan of what they did with Hela (along with Ultron, certainly more than Kaecillius although even him I got what Scott Derrickson was trying to do), while my sister who I saw 'Thor: Ragnarok' with wasn't. But I've always thought the idea of "Marvel having a villain problem," to not really be a problem to begin with, since it hasn't affected the quality of the movies for the worse (there are plenty of movies that are considered good but have weak villains), and what constitutes a "good villain" varies from person to person in what they want out of them.
