Thor: Ragnarok Part 2 picks up with the movie’s massive tonal shift, from Thor’s comedy-heavy opening to Hela destroying Mjolnir, Loki’s slippery redemption arc, and Sakaar turning the MCU into a neon space circus.
We debate whether Taika Waititi’s humor saved Thor or pushed him too far, why Cate Blanchett’s Hela works even when the villain writing feels thin, and whether Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster is peak Goldblum or just Jeff Goldblum with better robes.
Plus, somehow, we end up talking about Batman, Robin auditions, Willy Wonka, Barbarella, Flash Gordon, and whether Anthony Hopkins wanted to be anywhere near this movie.
Part 2 of our Thor: Ragnarok discussion is here. As always, it’s okay to agree to disagree.
