No, he's awful at comedy. (IMHO) Thor: Ragnarok's humor, direction and performances were sophomoric. The script was garbage too.
I really enjoyed Thor (2011), though the final showdown was a bit anti-climatic because of its low budget.
Different strokes for different folks I guess! The first two Thor movies are easily among my MCU bottom five, despite having by far the most compelling villain of the first two Phases in Tom Hiddleston's Loki. But one of the few other elements I liked from the very first Thor was the comedic stuff with Hemsworth. I think Joss Whedon recognized his comedic potential and really brought it to the fore in the original Avengers, and then Taika Waititi just pushed it to eleven... I'll be honest it really worked for me, but then I have no connection to the comics.
Hemsworth being silly and having fun was also the second-best part of the widely-reviled Paul Feig Ghostbusters, IMO (after Kate McKinnon being silly and having fun... dear lord would I have preferred to watch whatever movie she thought she was in).

I don't think their take on Ghostbusters deserves the rap it gets but I agree, Hemsworth and McKinnon were the high points of that film. His timing and overall comedic chops were spot on.

By the way...where's 'our' Thor? It feels like he hasn't been here for a while...

Themes by Michael Giacchino
Score by Michael Giacchino & Nami Melumad, coming 6th July
https://mobile.twitter.com/filmmusicrep/status/1542924401934381057?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet%7Ctwtr%5Etrue
Oh, that's awesome, kudos to Nami! Very excited to hear more from her. I'm going out on a limb and comparing her to Shirley Walker, as a female composer working on TV shows and films that are typically dominated by the guys.
I don't understand this trend of someone else writing the themes for a composer, and lately it seems to be the male big name composers writing themes for the female composers.
These composers are more than capable of writing their own themes - they don't need it done for them. And Nami Melumad has had this done to her on multiple occasions (Prodigy and Strange New Worlds, by Giacchino and Jeff Russo). She is extremely talented - she can write her own without the big male composer coming to her rescue to do it for her.

Uh, that’s pretty unfair. I’m sure it’s Giacchino who got her the gig. I’m sure that Waititi wanted to work with Giacchino again after Jojo Rabbit. Melumad is getting a lot of opportunities (deservedly!) really fast, thanks to Giacchino. So maybe check the suggestion that he shouldn’t be involved at all.
Giacchino did the exact same thing in the past with Chris Tilton and Chad Seiter taking related projects and using his themes, and they were men.
I wish Melumad had gotten to write her own Trek main themes too, but I don’t think it’s a matter of sexism, but the more experienced/recognized composers getting the gig. I’m sure she’ll get the chance in the future, and that her career will continue to soar.

It appears to me that when another composer is chosen the director wants a new theme because the new story demands another approach.
When the same composer scores a series of films I also want the previous themes incorporated.
But I don’t think that scores should be like a greatest hits concert, just repeating what came before.
