A few thoughts about a scene in the first "Thor" movie
The scene where Loki visits Thor at the crater site (right after Thor tries to retrieve Mjolnir) really speaks volumes about Thor's character and his side of the relationship with his brother.
Loki tells him not only that Odin is dead, but that he died still upset at Thor; that Frigga agrees with Thor's exile; that Loki has taken on the "burden" of the throne; and that Thor is to remain banished... And Thor's reaction is a genuine ***"I am sorry. Thank you for coming here."***
For one thing, we've already seen Thor's impulsive, reckless, stubborn, prideful side; but this one line shows Thor's trusting, humble, guileless, and even noble side.
Regarding his relationship with his brother: Thor honestly trusts Loki and accepts both Loki's explanation and judgement without argument. Which makes him later learning about Loki's betrayal all the more crushing.
And it really adds weight to Thor telling Loki in Ragnarok: "Loki, I thought the world of you. I thought we were gonna fight side by side forever." Because this was indeed what Thor always thought of Loki - and it's established in the very first movie.

Even Thor 2, the one everyone always dunks on as the single worst movie in the MCU, I still think is a good movie. The only thing bad about it is the final fight but honestly I could have that complaint for about half the movies.
Or when he's not forced to reshoot the entire beginning of the film to completely alter the very essence of the protagonist because the studio fundamentally misunderstood the IP they purchased (*coughartemisfowlcough*).
