Thor: Ragnarok
Taika Waititi’sThor : Ragnarokreinvented the God of Thunder ’s solo MCU franchise by injecting his standalone adventures with a healthy STD of humor . Chris Hemsworth had a better time take on the character than he had in years under Waititi ’s direction . It really shows in the motion picture , and the play that Hemsworth had on the determined transfer to the fans in the hearing .
While it’sfunny enough to be an out - and - out comedy – specially in a fourth dimension when the comedy genre is dying with an endless slew of work-shy duds – Ragnarokis finally a comic book action - adventure , so it has pile of explosive readiness pieces .
Action Sequence: Thor Vs. Surtur
The opening scenery ofThor : Ragnarokfinds the God of Thunder trapped in a coop in the hellish home of Surtur , surrounded by fire and native sulphur , and bemock the Fire Giant until they engage in a engagement .
Thor holds out his paw , summon Mjolnir , and piddle short work of Surtur ’s demons – as well as Surtur himself – countersink to the rocking sounds of Led Zeppelin ’s Norse mythology - themed hit “ Immigrant Song . ”
Gag: Loki’s Play
After Surtur narrate Thor that Odin is not on Asgard , the God of Thunder returns to his home realm and sees Odin staging a wildly inaccurate play about his son ’ relationship .
It does n’t take long to figure out that “ Odin ” is really Loki in disguise . The play is a screaming gag , with Luke Hemsworth cameoing as the actor playing Thor and Matt Damon cameoing as the histrion playing Loki .
Action Sequence: Thor Vs. The Hulk
When Thor arrives on Sakaar , he ’s quickly put in chains and forced into a gladiatorial scene of action to facethe Grandmaster ’s whizz , who turns out to be the Hulk . At first , Thor is relieved , because his fearsome opponent is “ a supporter from oeuvre . ”
But then , the Hulk get down to charge , and he does n’t seem to recognise his fellow Avenger . So , Thor is forced to struggle the green meanie inone of the MCU ’s most incredible hero sandwich - on - champion conflict scenes , up there with Captain America crusade himself inAvengers : Endgame .
Gag: Korg’s Introduction
Korg , vocalize by director Taika Waititi , hasone of the MCU ’s most hysterical graphic symbol introductionsinThor : Gotterdammerung . Thor first meets him when he ’s captured by the Grandmaster and lock up up with Sakaar ’s gladiators .
The delightfully mild - mannered Korg greets Thor and show him around . He cracks plenty of jocularity along the mode , all delivered with Waititi ’s theme song deadpan style .
Action Sequence: The Valkyries Flashback
It takes a while forThor : Ragnarokto give away Valkyrie ’s backstory to us . When Thorrealizes she ’s a Valkyrie , we see a flashback to the traumatic event to led her to a life as an alcohol-dependent vagrant on a garbage planet .
She rode into struggle with the other Valkyries against Hela and encounter themselves hopelessly outmatched as she slaughtered nearly the full US Army . It ’s a breathtakingly cinematic sequence .
Gag: “Get Help!”
After the former twoThormovies used the God of Thunder ’s strained relationship with his embrace brother Loki for predictable melodrama , Taika Waititimade their sibling bond much more tangiblewith dry mood inRagnarok .
We get a hint at how close they were as Kid when Thor proposes doing the “ Get help ! ” routine to get past some guards . allot to Waititi , this gag was conceived by Chris Hemsworth himself .
Action Sequence: Escape From Sakaar
After assembling the so - called Revengers , Thor escapes from Sakaar with Loki , Valkyrie , and the Hulk . They hijack one of the Grandmaster ’s birthday orgy ships and head for the Devil ’s Anus .
The most badass moment in the set piece is Valkyrie jumping from ship to ship , taking them down singlehandedly by manually redirecting their turret and slashing them up with her sword .
Gag: Prisoners With Jobs
Like most of the actors inThor : Ragnarok , Jeff Goldblum clearly had a heck of a time arrive at this movie . He really leans into the Grandmaster ’s immaturity inscenes that finger semi - improvised .
In one scene , he ’s talking to his assistant Topaz and she name his “ striver . ” He tells her he does n’t like “ the S - Bible , ” and necessitate her to use the alternative he get up with : “ prisoners with job . ”
Action Sequence: The Final Battle
The final struggle ofThor : Ragnarokbrings the movie ’s activity and humor together for a spectacular climax . Once again , Thor is no match for Hela in hand - to - mitt combat . This time , he loses an center .
Inspired by a vision of his father , Thor wangle up a plan to defeat Hela . She gets her ability from Asgard , so he resurrects Surtur using his jacket to kickstart Ragnarok and destroy Asgard , vote out Hela with it .
Gag: Thor Screams In The Imaginary Tunnel
When Thor first get on Sakaar , he ’s strapped to a chairman and contract down a burrow make full with projection of the planet ’s geographics and a voiceover explaining its history .
However , as he gets further down the tunnel , it gets really freaky and mind - melding and Thor starts scream . on the spur of the moment , the shot cut to Thor sit in a room , wall by people , implying that the entire tunnel was in his head .
