*Thor: Ragnarok*, released in 2017 and directed by Taika Waititi, redefined the tone of the Thor franchise with its bold shift toward cosmic comedy and vibrant visual flair. Shedding the Shakespearean seriousness of its predecessors, this third installment transformed Thor into a more relatable and self-aware hero, full of wit, charm, and unexpected depth. Stripped of his hammer and stranded on the bizarre planet Sakaar, Thor is forced into a gladiatorial showdown with the Hulk, while back home, the vengeful goddess Hela rises to claim Asgard. This high-stakes adventure blends humor, action, and heart, making it one of the most refreshing entries in the MCU.
At its core, *Ragnarok* is a story about identity, change, and letting go. Thor learns that his power doesn’t come from Mjolnir, but from within, embracing his role as a leader rather than a warrior. The film also brings back beloved characters like Loki and introduces scene-stealers like Valkyrie and Korg. As Asgard falls in the climactic battle, the film delivers an emotional punch beneath the laughter, reminding audiences that home isn’t a place—it’s the people. With its daring tone and striking visuals, *Thor: Ragnarok* reshaped the god of thunder and the MCU’s cosmic direction.
