[@melanieszelong4664]

I disagree with your assessment of Skurge: his dream/goal for his life was NOT to collect more stuff. It was to feel that what he did mattered. He collected more stuff in a futile effort to feel like he mattered. When Thor returns at the beginning, he barely acknowledges Skurge who reveals having fought alongside Thor in the past further reinforcing to Skurge he doesn't matter. He agrees to be Hela's executioner because she promises he will matter in her regime. But her regime requires him to kill innocent people which he manages to avoid. He attempts to hide aboard the escape ship but in the end he takes his one opportunity to matter and sacrifices himself so the ship can take off. He is an example of how we do the same: collecting more and more stuff in an effort to find meaning, but stuff cannot impart meaning so we feel empty and need yet more stuff, and we will follow anyone who tells us we can matter.

After rewatching all the Marvel movies, I realized Thor: ragnorak was perfect the way it is. He was serious in his first two movies and after Ragnorak he becomes even more serious and sadder. I think it was great shift in tone for him and we got to see him in different moods. And that moment when Thor realizes his power was within him and cueing Led Zeppelin’s immigrant song, was iconic.

[@technoJoe23]

I don't feel like we got to see him too sad in Ragnorok, but you realize just how much he is in Infinity War (specifically his talk with Rocket). That was a good thing - I was finally relating emotionally to the God of Thunder.

[@42Mrgreenman]

Perfect musical choice, if you read the lyrics to Immigrant song, it's basically a plot synopsis... We come from the land of the ice and snow (Loki/Jotenheim) From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow (Thor/Asgard) The hammer of the gods, will drive our ships to new lands (Violence will drive our conquest) To fight the horde, sing and cry, Valhalla I am coming (We will fight everyone, reveling in battle and death) On we sweep with threshing oar, our only goal will be the western shore (We will be single minded in our pursuit of conquest) How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore (Asgard's golden image will drown out the history of bloody conflict) Of how we calmed the tides of war (Better thank us, Asgard brought peace to the realms) We are your overlords (How the nobility of Asgard really think of themselves) So now you better stop, and rebuild all your ruins (Abandon the false image that lies in ruins and rebuild the society of people) For peace and trust can win the day, despite all your losing (Even though you've lost much and done wrong by your people, you can still win by working in cooperation and telling them the truth)

[@richardthomas5362]

One of my favorite scenes is when Thor stated he was going to the throne room to get Hella's attention. Valkyrie said, "you will die". Thor then said that all that was important was getting the people to safety. She seemed to see him in a new light, different than what she expected from the royal family. Later, Thor gave her Valkyrie gear, more or less closing the door on her drunken and loser lifestyle. At that point she said, "Your Majesty, don't die. You know what I mean". She finally found a leader she could actually follow, a king willing to die for her, a big difference from Odin asking the Valkyries to die for him.

[@kin2naruto]

Thor may THINK he gave the "Kingship" to Valkyrie but... I'm pretty sure she merely accepted the "Prime Minister" posting there. Thor is still king - he just doesn't need to do the tedious bits he generally sucks at.

Ragnarok was the PERFECT balance between humor, seriousness, emotion, and all things in between

[@CinHotlanta]

It's an impossibly entertaining film, Taika is so damn talented

[@josefzalusky7307]

But was it serious, though? I mean, yeah, Hela killed a bunch of people, but that's so overshadowed by all the one-liners and jokes that I actually forgot she slaughters like all of Thor's best friends. If that's balanced to you, I'm glad you feel that way, I just don't.

I loved Ragnarok I've seen it like 10 times and have enjoyed it each time.

[@harrietbradbury9705]

I watched this movie at 10 pm with my family in a random cinema, it is still one of our collective favourite films because we were laughing the whole way through and we all thought it was the best direction the Thor franchise could have gone in. Personally, I am a fan of Taika Waititi's work he's directed some cracking films, and to see him flex his muscles with a bigger budget was fantastic. Allowing Chris Hemsworth to be more comedic and play into that side of the character really paid off and i think it really breathed new life into Thor, i was particularly happy to see that transfer over into Infinity War and Endgame as well

[@cimerea]

My favourite scene is the one in the elevator when Thor and Loki are escaping. It's when after thousands of years Thor finally gets enough perspective to acknowledge Loki for who he is, rather than trying to change him into a brother he wanted. And this also means a change in perspective for Loki. Even by the look on his face in that elevator, one could see the realisation that he was never shunned in his adoptive family. He was cared for but in a way that was quite misguided and a bit degrading, but the sentiment was definitly there. Thor saying that it's OK for Loki to be how he is, paired with the fact that earlier on Odin acknowledged them both as his sons, changes him enough to put himself in the harms way on Asgard for people, he only addressed as "subjects" before and brother, he tried to take down so many times. Ultimately ending in his desperate attempt to save Thor at the start of Infinity War. That's why I am both excited and pesimistic about the upcoming Loki TV series. It seems to be taking place after he bailed out of Stark Tower in the altered timeline with the Tesseract. Which would mean, the whole character ark, he went through in Ragnarok, would be null and void. With is a major shame.

It's funny how Thor the god of thunder being tased around with tiny electric shocks, not realizing he is the god of thunder not his hammer. Also every scenes with dr.strange was hilarious.

[@Ithenna]

My favorite scene is when Thor and Loki meet Dr. Strange. Strange makes a 1000+ year old frost giant look like a 2 year old child having a temper tantrum. And Thor's wonder and amusement is priceless as he watches his mug of beer auto refill - also much like a little child. You can still have the wonder of a child as an adult, and wisdom doesn't always come with age.

[@brettabraham]

Anthony Hopkins as Loki being Odin is absolutely amazing. He nails the scene and I'll never get over it

[@axxessmundi]

Any scene with Jeff Goldblum is my favorite scene. Imagine if Ragnarok was a stand alone Planet Hulk? Taika is a genius and magical on how he directs movies. Taika Watiti is what Kevin Smith wanted to be...

I also heard he’s directing the new Star Wars movie that comes out in 2024. Can’t wait to see how he does!

[@arestitian7857]

"Get Help" and When Thor has to say "Point Break" to get access to the Quin jet are just a few of the really funny scenes for me. But all in all, I loved the whole movie and it really flowed right into Infinity War.

[@carydum9356]

My favorite scene would be Valkyrie agreeing to help Thor, her meeting Bruce the first time and Loki joining their Revengers team. Now I want to watch it all over again... 😄

[@madhurar4599]

Ragnorak is the best. This is my favourite movie too. Taika waititi is genius. I've also seen his Jojo Rabbit movie, which is a masterpiece. I can't wait to see in some next movie Thor and Loki will meet again. The chemistry between the two brothers is amazing.

Everything about this film is fantastic. I went from not really caring about Thor, to him being my favorite character. This and Guardians 2 are my favorites.

[@averybishop1568]

It was also the greatest Hulk movie ever. I love the scene where Hulk and Thor are apologizing over their fight. Hulk doesn't throw stuff when Thor says Earth hates him like you'd expect. He just pouts like a two-year-old and sits to calm down before apologizing (in first person, I might add). Hulk actually felt like a character in his own right instead of just a character flaw for Banner.

It`s not my favourite Marvel movie, (The First Avenger holds that place in my heart), but it is, as you say, much, much more than a simple comic romp. Thank you!

I was surprised how good Thor: Ragnarok was. I'm a huge Thor fan but it seems that Marvel doesn't know what to do with him. The humor at times does detract from the seriousness of the Thor character. The haircut scene is a great example. However, the director actually made Thor powerful, and that's what I loved.

[@harmenbreedeveld8026]

On the Warriors Three, I felt it was superb writing. Writing is about setting priorities. It is as much about scrapping things as writing them. If you try to tell everything, then you tell nothing, because the audience will simply drown in it all. So the question is: what is the core story? What are you trying to convey? Which elements contribute best to that core? From that follows the next question: what is NOT the core of your story? What can be scrapped? By killing off the Warriors Three, Waititi made room for the core story.

[@williamolson5728]

I actually did care that the Warriors Three were dispatched so quickly. They were one of the reasons I collected Thor for a long time.
