I rewatched Thor Ragnarok recently and was reminded why legitimately it’s a top 5-6 movie in the entire MCU for me (incase you’re curious, my personal top 5-6 is infinity war and endgame, winter soldier, the first GOTG, black panther and Thor raganarok)
Firstly, the humor is executed so well in this movie, from all characters. They were able to do it in a way where Loki’s mischief and nature were still taken seriously and Thor was still a powerful god of thunder. But at the same time, they shared plenty of hilarious moments, from the “get help” sequence to “falling for 30 minutes”.
Secondly, the villains in this movie were fantastic. Hela was insanely powerful, so much so they had to destroy the entirety of Asgard to take her out with surtur. Jeff goldblum also killed it as the grandmaster.
The character and relationship development in this movie was phenomenal. Seeing Loki and Thor work through their issues and come together to save Asgard and take out Hela following the death of Odin was fantastic. I was really impacted by the scene where Thor was telling Loki he should stay at Saakar and rule as a leader and Thor was telling him that’s all he ever wanted. We finally got to see Hulk again after the events of Ultron and Sokovia which was great. The introduction of Valkyrie was phenomenal.
All in all just such a great movie that’s easily one of my favorites in the universe and it stays that way even nearly 10 years later (which frankly it’s crazy to believe it was that long ago).
