Thor got a haircut, lost a hammer, found a trash planet, and somehow became the funniest Avenger. But was Thor: Ragnarok exactly the shake-up the character needed, or did the MCU push the comedy too far?
In Part 1 of our Thor: Ragnarok discussion, we dig into the movie’s major tonal shift after Thor: The Dark World, Taika Waititi’s comedy-heavy style, Chris Hemsworth leaning into humor, and whether the movie still works as a superhero story.
We also talk about Hela’s entrance, Cate Blanchett’s performance, Odin’s final scenes, Loki’s evolving role, the destruction of Mjolnir, Sakaar’s wild visual style, Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster, and why this movie feels like a major turning point heading into Infinity War.
Plus, yes, somehow we end up talking about auditioning for Robin in the early 90s. Because of course we do.
Watch now and join the conversation.
Do you think Thor: Ragnarok saved Thor, or did it turn him into too much of a joke?
