Teasing the Infinity Gauntlet Theory and the Soul Stone
Thor : Ragnarokcloses one of the big plot of ground gob in the MCU – the existence of two Infinity Gauntlets .
In the firstThormovie , a glance of the Infinity Gauntlet could be seen in Odin ’s vault . However , it was later bring out that Thanos already had it . So , to conclude the spread and stop the hatred ring armor , the MCU shed in a shady little billet .
While in Odin ’s vault , Hela pushes over the Infinity Gauntlet and yells “ phoney ! ” This one logical argument was a quick and wanton way to excuse why we see two gauntlets in the MCU .
However , although the movie close one threshold , it kept another one wide surface . Where is the soul pit ? As one of the last movies beforeInfinityWar , many fan believed thatRagnarokwould reveal the locating of the last Infinity Stone . Although it still remains a mystery , this has n’t stopped fan from theorizing .
We know that the last Edward Durell Stone is orangish , so one theory advise that the ageless Flame could be the soul stone . When Hela continues her pass through Odin ’s vault she criticizes everything in it . However , she points at the Tesseract say , “ that ’s not bad ” but then call the Eternal Flame , “ truthful power . ”
Loki’s Glance at the Tesseract
When Loki travel into Odin ’s bank vault to resurrect the Surtur , we see a coup d’oeil of hesitation as he fade by the Tesseract . Although the scene swerve out before we see what happens next , that spry yet longing glimpse Loki takes at the Space Stone could be of major importance in the next Avengers pic .
In the San Diego Comic - Con trailer forAvengers : Infinity War , Loki can be distinguish presenting the Tesseract to someone that seems to be Thanos . If Loki is in possession of the precious stone in the next installment of the Avengers , we can only assume that he take it while he was in the vault . After all , it ’s not like the God of Mischief to pass up an chance to further his own motives .
The Relationship Between the Grandmaster and the Collector

He tell the audience , “ We ’re elderberry bush of the creation . We came shortly after the Big Bang . We ’re the oldest livelihood creatures in the universe . Grandmaster and my brother , Collector . I rule on this planet Sakaar and I put together games . ”
The Grandmaster and the Collector see alike , and both have that typical blue score on their lips . Interestingly enough , the Collector ’s first visual aspect in the MCU was also during the end - credits ofThor : The Dark World .
The Mid-Credit Scene
Every MCU movie come equipped with close - credit scenes andRagnarok ’s credits unquestionably kept us on the edge of our seats .
During the mid - credit scene , Thor and Loki are joking around about Earth not wanting Loki back . Thor says everything will be hunky-dory , when all of a sudden , the ominous euphony plays and they are come on by a monumental ship .
The most fend for theory is that the ship is in fact , that of Thanos . Seeing how Loki most belike grab the Tesseract while in Odin ’s burial vault , he probably contacted Thanos to give him the location of the Asgardians ' ship .
This is why we see Loki offer up up the Tesseract in theInfinity Wartrailers , and why we see Thor floating through infinite . However , one point to take note is that Thor had both eyes in this drone . So , is this theory completely untimely or was that just a trick the MCU used to hide the end ofRagnarok ?
Point Break Reference
When Thor enters the Quinjet he has a hard time gaining access code to its controls . The ship expect for voice recognition input and he uses many different name admit , “ Thor , " “ Thor , Son of Odin , " “ God of Thunder , " and “ Strongest Avenger . " However , the name that ultimately gains him access is “ Point Break . "
Point Break is the name Tony Stark give Thor in the firstAvengersfilm because of his resemblance to Patrick Swayze in the 1991 film , Point Break . In this surfboarder - robber ' 90s movie , Swayze mutant long luscious blonde hair , much like the God of Thunder ’s flowing lock , and Stark is more than happy to indicate this out from prison term to time .
No wonder Thor says , “ Damn you Stark ” as soon as he gains access to the Quinjet .
The Faces in the Palace
Prior to the spillage of the film , many people were able to spot this Easter testis in official trailers for the movie . Therefore , manufacturer Kevin Feige addressed it at a press conference and sustain that the faces on the palace reflect previous Grandmaster champions .
He told lover , “ The biggest Easter eggs are on the side of the Sakaran Palace – right Taika ? There are – there are premature Grandmaster champions that we see , as one for Hulk is being constructed , and those are all sort of Easter eggs for the deeper risible universe – that may or may not ever show up in the cinematic universe , but we thought it ’d be fun to celebrate . "
fan have concluded that the faces are those of Beta Ray Bill ( top left ) , Ares ( top right ) , Bi - Beast ( bottom right hand ) , and Man - Thing ( top ) . Then there ’s the one still being constructed which is the current champion , Hulk .
All Of the Easter Eggs
Waititi incorporated many panorama of his life intoThor : Ragnarok . For one , the movie was litter with Australian privileged jokes . Since the pic was shot in Australia and Waititi hails from New Zealand , all the space ships in the movie were key after Australian cars . The Commodore , Statesmen , Terrano , and Kingswood are all car made by the Australian manufacturer , Holden .
The Commodore – the ship they escape on – was also paint the colour of the Aboriginal flag and Valkyrie ’s spaceship was paint the color of the Tino Rangatiratanga , or Māori flag .

Valkyrie’s Nickname

Therefore , Valkyrie ’s real debut occurred in 1971 when she appeared inIncredible Hulk # 142.In this comic , she took the body of Samantha Parrington and bear a hard stance against males , which lead her to battle the Hulk .
Valkyrie eventually join the Defenders but was killed in their final issue . She was resurrected in aDoctor Strangetimeline in 1988 , but since then , has only appeared in a couple of comic strip in the ninety .
