Salvaging Skurge - One Small Change to Thor Ragnarok

Behold! My change!
Thor Ragnarok was a blast but there was one bit of the movie that always bugged me, Skurge the Executioner. So in this video I try to write a Skurge worthy of both Thor Ragnarok and the wonderful Karl Urban.
Also in this video's Nebula Plus segment, I decide once and for all which Karl Urban would win if they all fought.

Honestly, probably because they've already heard and turned down ideas like his lol. *Nothing* against Nando, but even he points out that his insights are easy to do after the fact and aren't subject to approval by the studio. My guess is that the flaws in Marvel's scripts have little to do with a lack of creativity or talent on the writing end, but with editorial decisions made after the fact. Marvel doesn't hire Nandos as consultants, they hire consultants to shave the rough edges off of the work of the world's Nandos so it appeals as broadly as possible. Nando's ideas would get filtered through the same system, and a new Nando would rise on YT to tweak them haha.

@@Music34897 well said

[@quiffpbacon]

This is the first of Nando’s changes to the MCU that I can’t get behind sadly... Skurge is the first signal that something is wrong in Asgard. Heimdall has abandoned his post - very out of character - and been replaced by someone of questionable morals, using the Bifrost to accumulate stuff and impress the babes. Having the Warriors Three manning the Bifrost would not provide the same beat, as they are Thor’s trusted friends. Skurge does have character development: he starts a loudmouth who is revealed to us to actually be a bit of a coward when he doesn’t stand up to Hela. Then he regains his honour, sides with the morally right characters and makes the ultimate sacrifice to allow the innocent Asgardians to escape. It is a shame we probably won’t get Keith Urban in a bigger MCU role, but Skurge was a great character with an interesting subplot.

The tweaked conversation between Thor and Odin feels too similar to T’Challas conversation with T’Chaka at the end of Black Panther (which came out 3 months after Ragnarok) if Thor is angry at Odin

[@NandovMovies]

I thought about that and that's why this Thor is more disappointed in Odin. Maybe deep down he always knew something had to be up but he never questioned it. This is the moment where he accepts it and figured out how to move on.

[@37calorieghost35]

I think the key difference is the ideologies the father-son conversations are tackling though. T'Chaka's Wakanda was isolationist to a fault, going out of its way and doing everything it could to ensure the secret that was the country never got out. This rewrite of the Thor and Odin conversation is holding Odin to the flame for an opposite but equally dangerous method of leading a realm: imperialistic conquest. Alongside the differences in tone Nando mentioned above, they tackle different skews of the same issue. I actually think this parallel would've been really interesting to see in films that came out so near to each other, especially since the MCU tends to, well, shy away from taking much of a stand on the social issues they bring up, Black Panther being something of an outlier.

[@stopstaringatmewtf7651]

Personally, I'd want to keep Skurge alive if they ever want to have Amora the Enchantress in the MCU.

[@fewntug3760]

100% agree. I would've loved to have him enact the sacrifice and appear to have died, but then exile himself from Asgard for his betrayal and then spit him out elsewhere for Enchantress' later appearance.

[@bryanferratt6598]

@@fewntug3760 I honestly have a feeling that Skurge will make a cameo appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder. Like maybe at some point in the film Thor goes to the underworld for some reason and there he will run into Skurge again and it'll be just a fun interaction were he introduces himself to Thor and Thor will be like 'uh do I remember you'? I sincerely think that'll happen given that Taika Watiti is directing it again.

[@SirStrangefolk]

"He Stood Alone at Gjallerbru" is honestly one of the best moments in Thor comics history and the movie version felt so unearned. I feel like he should've been taken more seriously, and it would've worked best if he was an enemy or outcast of Asgard in a similar way as M'Baku is in Wakanda for it to have some of the impact.

@@jflack6 Idk, perhaps. That blue chick from Captain Marvel is being recast as a different character in a future movie so...

[@AJTaiyou]

My personal headcanon for Loki's play is that the actors are actually playing their MCU counterparts; one day as Odin, Loki decides to put on a play about himself, and (as seen in the Loki series) having experienced some of MIdgardian culture, decides to send out a casting call to actors on Earth, and all the cast members that we see in the play, are the actual MCU versions of the actors playing them (ie "Loki" is played by MCU Matt Damon, who in turn is played by Matt Damon, etc, etc)

[@kalamari1611]

Instead of Asgard isn’t worth saving, maybe Odin should say,”That place isn’t worth saving,” or, “MY Asgard doesn’t deserve to be saved.” Since saying that Asgard itself isn’t worth saving is weird after the whole, it’s a people not a place

[@NandovMovies]

Yeah I forgot about that but I'd need to change that line too.

[@enishi4ty5]

@@NandovMovies actually Odin thinking “asgard” as a kingdom isnt worth saving, having Skurge repeat it and Valkeryie be the one to vocalize “Asgard” is the people and the new ideals that carry on and the rest of Nando’s small change would be very dope

[@falsenames]

@kalamari Maybe "My Asgard doesn't deserved to be saved. But you, my son, can make an Asgard worth saving" and at the end of the movie... Loki: "So now what do we do, brother?" Thor: "We make a new Asgard. One that is worthy of of our people."

[@ezool18]

although i interpreted skurge's arc in the movie as "self-preserving coward steps up and dies a hero," i do like this rewrite. my only thing tho is that it feels a lot like erik stevens/killmonger in Black Panther, but maybe that sort of character arc is much more common than i thought previously.

[@WILSHIRE25]

Why does Hela look more like a Female Loki than the one we got in Loki?!? Man in that family photo, Freya looks like a prisoner.

[@Starcat5]

Ok, now I have a scene in my head for a Loki cameo: "Are you saying that *MY* crime was that *HELA* missed my vitals, and the hunk of Asgard I was on survived the explosion?"

[@Flameclaw123]

Beating up an invisible man? That sounds like it'd be hard. Nando: No actually, super easy, barely an inconvenience

[@NolanECunningham]

What I’d change around from this is make Skurge formerly the executioner of the Asgardian empire instead of being a victim of it. He knows what Asgard did because he was right there too, and in his time as Grandmasters executioner he has realized the flaws.

[@josiaharaki7310]

On some level, I think a lot of the issue stems from introducing Scourge without his usual ally, Amoura the Enchantress. He sort of plays a more hesitant version of his typical role in their dynamic in Ragnarok, but because Hela's able to mop the floor with all of Asgard at once, there isn't a genuine need for brute muscle like Amoura needs as a more cloak and dagger character who's somewhat weak in close quarters compared to her opponents. I almost suspect the next Thor movie to have Amoura as either the BBEG or minor antagonist who ressurect and brainwashes scourge.

[@mr.iiconic]

I want Amora in a movie so badly

[@The_Jovian]

Love this. "maybe Asgard isn't worth saving" is a MUCH more interesting theme than "Asgard is a people"

[@mrinalmrinalinee5373]

I think it would be better if Skurge was Hela’s right hand man back in the day when Hela and Odin used to rule. Not only Hela was banished, Skurge was too. But he wasn't for long time. So he came back and serve under Odin or he was mind-washed. But when Hela came back he switches sides.

[@dominomasked]

I do kinda like the idea of Hela thinking out loud to herself constantly as a side effect of being in solitary confinement for so long.

[@zacharyalabakoff4751]

You’re so right about the themes being disconnected between Asgard and Sakaar. So much so in fact that I rewatched this movie about a week ago, and I had genuinely completely forgotten pretty much all the Asgard stuff in this movie, and remembered only the Sakaar parts

I’m not completely convinced that Skurge is coming back, but let’s just say that the ground is being laid for characters who died in an apocalypse having a shot at a second chance.

[@Snuzzled]

I think the whole violent origin of Asgard could have been such a great callback to Thor's first movie and his exile for being so war hungry. That would explain so well why Odin was so angry and punished Thor so harshly there: he saw an echo of his old self, he saw an echo of Hela, and he was NOT going to have that again. He was not just angry, he was frightened at seeing the past repeat itself

[@WILSHIRE25]

No Heimdahl could of told Thor all this through there connection. He's able to see through his eyes for God's sake. He's likely old enough to remember Hela too. Also, the cool part about Heimdahl is he could prolly show Thor Odin and Hela when they were Conquering.

[@lyndsaybrown8471]

Yeah, if anyone was wasted, it was Heimdahl.

[@perezortegavalentin9343]

My only problem with this is that it takes away most of Hela's scenes. Which, in reality, isn't so much a problem with your rewrite as it is with the movie's script, having a lot of Hela's scenes be exposition; but it is a result of the change nontheless. Other than that though, amazing rewrite as always, keep up Nando!

[@NandovMovies]

Yeah we could give her more to do with Heimdall maybe. Have her bit where she tries to find him play out over a few scenes.

[@eustatic3832]

Hela is such a great part of the movie, too. This vision is unnecessarily dour and grim, and would lose a lot of the humor. I dunno I trust the kiwi here, this cut, I mean, we already had the last Jedi, and a lot of people hated it

[@what._._._]

This has got to be the BEST sales pitch for Nebula i've ever seen.

[@alicalegari8490]

I don’t know if you saw this in the original text, but I always felt Skurge was meant to be there as a ‘centrist’ commentary, who, through passivity and self preservation, keeps on the side that would benefit him, no matter the morality of that decision. Even seeing his people suffer at Helas hands, he stays on her side because it’s the safest non-choice. His final moments are a redemption in that he allowed his people to suffer/finally makes a choice in the positive.

[@thisisthisis542]

I’ve been waiting for this video for years! Thank you!

[@joefox6000]

The fact he wasn’t an evil warlord with a huge reputation doesn’t change the significance of him deciding to do the right thing. If anything it makes it more believable and easy to empathise with him. You can see him get roped into this situation, struggling and conflicted all the while, having to put an axe to his own people. He’s not a bad dude, he’s just a guy who’s made some bad decisions. When he decides to step up it’s believable, he’s proving to himself he isn’t a coward and a nobody. We have Karl Urban dual wielding machine guns, that’s plenty reason enough to have him in the movie. I think they could have done more with Fenrir.

[@seanfisher6904]

I actually agree. The point of Skurge's redemption wasn't that he was a bad person doing bad things, but an average person letting evil rise unchallenged. He's overcome his self preservation instinct in order to live up to his own ideals. I do agree that he could stand to have more to do in the movie though.

[@Shadowmask8]

I think you're right that the two plotlines needed to interact more but I think that bridge should have been Heimdall. I always got the impression that he was much, much older than anyone except Odin, which means that he would have been around for the conquest, and perhaps he even had some kind of connection to Hela. Maybe he was even the angel on Odin's shoulder who turned him against Hela. During the scene where he talks to Thor about Hela and Asgard, Thor should be more interested in *why* Hela is the way she is and what her motivations are. Then with some inkling of Asgard's darkness he can ask Valkyrie, who would have been part of the original internal coup that removed Hela and the other imperialists from power. (I also think the undead army should have been regular Asgardians similarly banished/imprisoned who sided with Hela against a reformed Odin).

[@MADKapo]

That last moment when he jumps off the ship and says "I'm the Executioner" seemed so cool. I feel like the Grandmaster could make fun of his name throught the movie and that could be a big pay-off.
