FIRST TIME WATCHING THOR: RAGNAROK!

[@c-mc]

Fun Fact: the actor playing Thor in the play was Chris Hemsworth's brother Luke and Loki was of course Matt Damon

[@esidhe]

And Odin was played by Sam Neill.

[@WhiskyCanuck]

@@esidhe Hunt for the Wilderpeople - Taika Waititi directing & Sam Neil costarring - it's quite good. The actress who plays the Grandmaster's assistant is in it too.

[@gahrie]

And Matt Damon is of course famous for playing a different Loki in Dogma.

[@theprimo100]

@@esidhe Ian Malcom *and* Alan Grant are both in this? Cool.

[@nathanadler8316]

@@WhiskyCanuck Rachel House plays the cop in Wilderpeople and Topaz (the GM''s assistant) in Ragnarok. She's a long-time collaborator with Taika, appearing in several movies and providing acting coaching on a couple more.

[@AxeloftheKey]

"I have been falling.....FOR THIRTY MINUTES!" Just the best.

[@Kittynation589]

Loki falls alot

[@tnx301]

The "rock dude", Korg, is voiced by the film's director, Taika Waititi.

[@crapstirrer]

I don't think Mari recognises Taika as Hitler in Jojo Rabbit.

[@hooray4paradiddles]

Trivia: the line "he's a friend from work" wasn't in the script. On the day they were filming that scene, a Make-A-Wish kid was hanging out with them on set. Chris Hemsworth was chatting with him between takes and the kid suggested he add that line to it. And it turned out to be one of the best lines in the whole movie! And I'm pretty sure Banner jumping out of the plane to transform into Hulk but flopping is a reference to The Incredible Hulk.

[@Drforrester31]

In a movie filled with amazing imagery, that flashback to Valkyrie's defeat at the hands of Hela is another level

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

The part when Thor is leaving Dr. Strange and calls for his "umbrella", then you hear all the stuff breaking... pure genius. That cracks me up every time.

[@anukoo87]

That ssssssssorryyy...made me screamlaugh!

[@Evil_Peter]

Ragnarok is definitely a top tier MCU film for me. It's superbly paced and just does so many things right. Taika Waititi is a fantastic director and I definitely recommend checking out some of his older films as you've now seen his two Hollywood films this far (JoJo Rabbit being the other one).

[@Drforrester31]

What We Do In The Shadows is so funny. Admittedly loses a bit of steam during the long act two but gets it all back by the time it's over

[@PsychoMuffinSDM]

But part of what made it so great was all the callbacks to earlier movies. I wonder what Thor 1 would have been like under the same leadership...

[@noroses4you]

He had a cameo in the recent Suicide Squad, pretty effin great

[@IrishPizzaMan]

As someone who has read a lot of comic books this was my least favorite. You would never see Thor screaming in terror pinned to a chair?!? Scourge was a character used by both DC and Marvel to kill off unused characters.

[@Hatjito]

Taika Waititi is also one of the directors of The Mandalorian.

[@danh8804]

Fun trivia: Marvel wanted to do an orchestrated version of "Immigrant Song" for the climax and the band was like "lol no" so we got a second run of the original track. Anthony Hopkins was great in this role. He could have been lazy and half-hearted being way too big for these movies, he could have been super-'extra' and kind of made it camp, but he played Odin with sincerity to the material, and that last scene was just pitch perfect fatherly advice in a scene

[@christopherlundgren1700]

That's too bad. I think an orchestral remix at the call-back would have been sick. I always thought it was kind of an odd choice to use the same track twice, even though it's still awesome. I think ACDC's Thunderstruck would be another perfect track for a future Thor appearance.

[@noodle_fc]

@@christopherlundgren1700 Fun fact, Thunderstruck is about getting laid by someone who is really good at fucking. "And I was shakin' at the knees / Could I come again, please?" There's no denying it's a kickass riff, but on soundtracks, it's incongruous if you listen to the lyrics, like Fortunate Son, American Woman, Born in the USA, Every Breath You Take, and a few others I can't recall at the moment.

[@Drforrester31]

And he was also clearly having a great time when Loki was impersonating Odin. Hopkins seems like one of those actors who would just be a ton of fun to run into at a bar

[@ericjohnson9623]

@@noodle_fc Love and Thunder is reportedly going to use Rainbow in the Dark by Dio.

[@crust8016]

@@ericjohnson9623 The entire soundtrack for that movie could just be Dio songs

[@zarquondam]

9:27 - Hela closes a plot hole. The gauntlet was glimpsed in Odin's vault in the first Thor movie, before they decided they wanted to go in a different direction with it. (For other plot-hole-closings, watch the Marvel One-Shots!!)

[@FOXCYBORGNINJA]

I didn’t see it as a plot hole. I actually saw Odin keeping a replica around for him as a constant reminder of power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely. I saw him keeping the Tessaract on earth as a way of him keeping close enough to keep an eye on it but not close enough to tempt him in order to prevent any other malevolent beings from getting their hands on the infinity stones. I also saw him not forging Stormbreaker as the same thing to prevent him from falling into his old ways. He fought full power Surtur for three days before using the special reality warping magic unique only him to basically give him the universe’s biggest cosmic slap knocking Surtur’s crown off and then Bfrosting home.

[@Sir_AlexxTv]

I love Cate Blanchett so much, she's amazing in everything she plays.

[@gpaje]

Thor Ragnarok has and still probably has the greatest movie trailer of all time. Highly recommend you watch that as well, it promised a great movie and everyone was enthusiastic after watching, luckily the movie was just as good.

[@hettbeans]

I never get over the sincerity of Mari's laughing

[@txaggievet]

Reminds me of Arnold Horseshack

[@spacemanspiff3052]

Taika Watiti melded Thor, Led Zeppelin, hard rock cover art, and comedy into a Marvel masterpiece. Loved your reaction!!!

[@misterprickly]

Fun fact: The Grandmaster and the Collector (from guardians of the galaxy) are brothers.

[@chefskiss6179]

Absolutely loved your laughing throughout this gem. - Pours one out for Jack Kirby.

[@eolsunder]

hello beautiful girl, such a fun movie i love it

[@milesisediting]

Hi my name is Korg. I'm kinda the Leader here

[@rampake-1575]

He's a Rock but sadly lost to a Paper..

[@rodentnolastname6612]

See ya later New Doug 😃

[@radlee974]

Korg (Voiced by the films director, Taika Waititi.) is such an amazing, _hilarious_ character! His presence in this, already freaking _incredible_ film, _definitely_ made it even better! _Also,_ I freaking *LOVE* Tessa Thompson and I am so, *SO* glad that they cast her as Valkyrie! I _really_ hope that we continue to see more and _more_ of her in future MCU films! Anyway, I absolutely *LOVE* this film. Due to it’s incredible ability to seamlessly and effortlessly blend humor, action, and emotion repeatedly throughout, it’s _genuinely_ one of my all-time-favorite Marvel movies, and I’ve _greatly_ enjoyed every single one I’ve seen! (I’d probably rank my Top 3: #1. Endgame, #2. Ragnarok, #3. Black Panther, but they’re all soooo damn good!) Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed it so much! It’s soooo good and *SOOOO* much fun! I hope Thor #4 is able to live up to Ragnarok’s greatness!!)

[@AubreySciFi]

This one's definitely my favorite Thor film. It's great!

[@-umbra-1590]

7:57 they are both in Lord of the Rings. Also the Led Zeppelin song is about the vikings and Thor so it's perfect.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I love that they chose to make this one so comical, while still keeping up a serious story line.

[@weirds0up]

I love Taika Waititi as Korg. He's just such fun

[@phj223]

For more from the crazy genius of Taika Waititi (the director of Thor: Ragnarok and voicing Korg), check out "What we do in the Shadows" (2014) and "Jojo Rabbit" (2019). :) edit: My bad, you already reacted to Jojo Rabbit, I had a feeling in the back of my head.

[@sandorfalusi3486]

This is not only my favourite Thor movie, it's my favourite MCU movie to date.

[@JW666]

There is a new Thor-movie coming, Thor: Love & Thunder, and it's also gonna be directed by Taika Waititi again (who made this movie and plays Korg). Speaking of Waititi, you need to react to his movie What We Do In The Shadows, it's so funny! XD And yes, it is one of my favorite MCU-movies =)

[@VColossalV]

Thor 4 is filming I believe, it is called Thor: Love and Thunder - same director at Ragnarok also

[@Angela-bm3lp]

Filming wrapped. It's in post production now.

[@jj03max]

Fun fact: The director of this film is the voice of Korg

[@tinydarkjewel]

Funny thing is that both Hel and Fenris (as well as Jormundgandr aka Midgardsormen) are Loki's children in Norse mythology.

[@Arthezius]

You are the perfect amount of cute, dorky and smart. Your reactions are always a blast!

[@sabalos]

There's maybe five or six times in these movies where Thor properly goes all god-of-thunder, and they're often my favourite parts of the movies they're in.

[@MadcapMatt]

Also the friend from work line was actually made up on the day they shot it. A kid from the make a wish foundation suggested it visiting that day.

[@CaptainFrost32]

It was spotlighted in the advertising and reviews.

[@phj223]

Fantastic reaction Mary, I'm so happy you seemed to like it every bit as much as so many of us. :)

[@jlog1c]

[@McShaganpronouncedShaegen]

Thor was always my favorite growing up and he still is. This is my favorite single character Marvel movie and if you liked this you are in for a treat. Also the director Taika Waititi played Korg and is in another of my favorite movies "What we do in the shadows. I highly recommend you watch it if you thought this was funny..

[@hettbeans]

The actor playing Odin in the play is Sam Neill, aka Alan Grant from Jurassic Park.

[@derred723]

Jeff Goldblum as The Grandmaster is just amazing! He's just hilarious too. "IT'S THE GRANDMASTER! IT'S THE GRANDMASTER!"

[@jeanpaulmedellin]

I gotta say, of all the amazing MCU cast, Anthony Hopkins as Odin is one of the best. He only has like 5 minutes here and delivers great heartfelt moments. And holy shit, next movie is Infinity War, can’t wait to see her reaction.

[@Andrew.Grabowski]

Next movie is actually Black Panther.

[@mistrants2745]

Omg that intro animation is like the coziest most 'gezellig' scenario ever. It gave me chills within the 1.5 seconds it was on screen!

[@natefuller4039]

Great movie and continuing the tradition of supporting roles for amazing actors with Cate blanchett and the great Anthony Hopkins.

[@WhiskyCanuck]

Karl Urban dual-wielding the machine guns was also a reference to the videogame Doom, basically mimicking the cover art from the game. Karl Urban starred in the Doom movie based on the game.

[@Caseytify]

Actually it was based on a far older story written by Walt Simonson when he was doing Thor. The Executioner's death was far more heroic there.

Follow up to learning a fun word with many meanings. When you were looking for the word for how the scene is setup and shot, one of the words you could have been looking for is: composition. Composition is generally the design of the frame, so where actors and props are placed for the shot, how it is lit, what movements the camera and actors are going to make, etc. A big part of being a director is managing this to capture the emotions and ambience you want.

[@ReklawLah]

[@LordFirekaze]

OMG I love your reaction of this movie, I wish I had a date who enjoy this movie as you did.

[@NestorCustodio]

This is possibly the only time a franchise has ever successfully rebooted who a character *is* (in terms of attitude and general feel) while remaining loyal to the original story already in progress. Thor's transition from overly serious guy with a chip on his shoulder to jovial guy just going on a fun adventure is seamless, and that's amazing.

[@yashvlogsss3395]

I like when you say, let's gooooouu

[@shanefourtwenty]

25:06 😂😂😂 that cats feet pushing her hand away. Lol

[@nathanadler8316]

Thor Ragnaok is one of my favourite Marvel movies because it wholeheartedly embraces the absurdity of comic books. Thor is a ridiculous character, and Taika Waititi's version of him leans in hard on that. I'm cool with a more grounded take on, say, Batman (eg Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy) but Thor just isn't a character that's suited to that format. Ragnarok is a beautiful tribute to how comic books (and their adaptations) can embrace high concepts and tell a moving and engaging story, while still acknowledging the cartoonishness of the medium.

[@marcobrinckmann1012]

I love this idea that when we saw the Hulk, he was just a screaming baby (that could flatten buildings). And few years in we have.. A Hulk that was growing when he was allowed to. When Banner had his accident, he gave birth to an ACTUAL baby.

[@matthewdunham1689]

Hmm that's a great point.

[@TexasTomBoeX]

the rock dude is the director of this movie himself ;)

[@jennysutton7409]

Love this movie so much and Cait does such a good job as Hela. For the record it is interesting that Marvel decided to make them Thor and Loki's daughter because in the myths she is actually Loki's daughter and a bit deformed in her face as well plus that big wolf she has in this one is her brother in the myths cause he's also Loki's son. Jeff Goldbloom as the Grandmaster is so funny and love Tessa Thomson here as well she plays Valkryie here such a cool character as well. Good reaction as always. To me I liked the first one more but I do like this one a lot as well.

Nice to see you laughing and enjoying yourself in a reaction video and not suffering under the drama of Game of Thrones (though that's good too, haha). But has someone mentioned already that the director Taika Watiti is the voice of the hilarious rock monster. Do yourself a favour, even if it's not a reaction video, and watch *Hunt for the Wilderpeople* . It's a lovely little story with lots of humour and lots of heart and very much a Taika Watiti film. Watch for him in that one too, he plays the quirky priest.

[@gsparkman]

My personal favorite of the MU. I was finally able (after many failed attempts) to watch the full reaction on Patreon. And what happened after I had the matching version and the perfect sync? I fell asleep about ⅓ through. Thankful I could catch up with short version here. Thank you, Mary.
