Granted it's not fair to compare him to two geniuses either but I get the general sentiment. I only like dumb when it's paired with kindness so he's got 2 for 2

I thought intelligence was important to me, but it's ignorance and lack of empathy that I find genuinely off-putting, as well as being threatened by the intelligence of others.

I realised a few people I've liked probably wouldn't be considered very smart, but I never really thought that because they had knowledge and skills I didn't have and they expressed interest in learning new things.

I'm not sure Thor's characterisation has been consistent enough for me to get a good idea of how smart he is. He does like to act first, think later. He's also from Asgard where you could just casually travel to different planets like it was no big deal so who knows really.

As you said, Thor's not dumb, but I get what you mean. I adore Thor. He's sweet & kind & smart, but not genius smart. All of these things are appealing.

Fictional geniuses are very rarely written by actual geniuses, so while they may be able to create plot points with typing, they don't speak or interact in a way that notably corresponds to real-life brilliance any more than average-to-smartish characters do. Instead they're distinguished by 1) talking faster 2) insulting people 3) just knowing things that turn out to be correct because the writer makes them be right, even if there wasn't necessarily a smart reason to draw that conclusion.

Contrariwise, an action character like Thor will often end up Challenged by things he can't just Punch His Way Out Of, because that creates more dramatic tension. So he and characters like him often has to display actual problem-solving instead of meaningless technobabble.
