History Film / ThorRagnarok

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Hela telling Hogun and the present day Asgadrian army that Asgard was once the most powerful kingdom in the cosmos only for Odin to stop at Nine Realms when Hela wanted to expand Asgard further almost sounds like an ambitious entertainment developer wanting to expand a franchise further and further to please [[note]]Or to piss[[/note]] the Masses against the advice of a head developer who wants the franchise to end where they wanted it to end.

** Loki's self-aggrandizing play is full of crappy acting, dialogue that's even more overwrought than most of Thor's movies, gross mischaracterizations of the past, and homemade costumes. Odin's actor even has his eyepatch on the wrong eye.

* TookALevelInBadass: This movie takes place about a year after ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'' and the titular character is much more competent and able to capture Loki in a pocket dimension.

* StylisticSuck: In contrast to the [[CostumePorn rest of the costumes]], the Grandmaster wears hideously garish robes in rather deliberately cheap and tacky-looking fabric, and his [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin melt stick]] has an almost [[{{Zeerust}} charmingly retro]] '60s "generic sci-fi staff" look to it.

-->'''Thor:''' There was one time when we were children, he transformed himself into a snake, and he knows that I love snakes. So, I went to pick up the snake to admire it and he transformed back into himself and he was like, "Yeah, it's me!" And he stabbed me.

** Hela goes through Odin's treasure room, which was originally seen in the first film. She dismisses most of the artifacts as weak (including the Casket of Ancient Winters from ''Film/{{Thor}}''). She even knocks over the Infinity Gauntlet seen from the first film, proclaiming it a fake (which also serves to resolve the {{Discontinuity}} of that Gauntlet appearing to contain all of the Infinity Stones in ''Film/{{Thor}}'', while later Marvel movies, from ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' on, all show the Infinity Stones as being at large in the universe, and Thanos not only on the hunt for them, but in possession of the Gauntlet he intends to place them in). She is impressed by the Tesseract, the actual Infinity Stone in the room, though.

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Thor and The Hulk fight in the Grandmaster's arena. The fight ends in a draw. [[spoiler: Thor can return the Hulk's hits blow for blow, but once pinned down, he gets overwhelmed and it takes his lightning powers for him to fend off The Hulk. For his part, Thor was holding back and was caught off-guard, while The Hulk was fully enraged.]]

* When Thor activates the obedience disk he slapped on Loki's back, then leaves Loki on the floor twitching and writhing in pain. It's unclear how long Loki laid there until Korg and company found him, but it definitely wasn't a pleasant experience waiting.

* {{Overcrank}}: Several shots in the climax battle are filmed in slow-motion, such as [[spoiler:Thor jumping flying down on the Bifrost while powering up with lightning, Valkyrie {{power walk}}ing towards the Berserkers while the Commodore behind her emits fireworks, or Loki dodging a Berserker's sword.]]

** When Valkyrie first appears, she starts to PowerWalk down the ramp of her ship... and then falls over, right off the side of the ramp and into the trash, due to being heavily drunk.

Now Thor, along with Hulk, fellow gladiators Korg and Miek, and a fallen Asgardian Valkyrie--[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Loki]]--must escape the Grandmaster’s clutches and find a way back home, before Hela brings [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt an end]] to Asgardian civilization once and for all.

* ButNotTooBlack: Averted. The stylist of the movie claims that they considered giving Valkyrie blonde hair, as in the comics. But out of respect of this trope, they left Tessa Thompson's hair black as opposed to making her a dark-skinned blonde.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Thor, the physically imposing, BadassBaritone [[InsistentTerminology God]] of Thunder, lets out an unmanly, high-pitched scream when faced with something terrifying. Examples include: being bound to a chair that's speeding down a dark tunnel only to have the lights turn up as a voice announces that he's about to meet "the Grandmaster", having a man being liquefied next to him, and getting [[TraumaticHaircut a haircut]].

''Thor: Ragnarok'' is the 2017 sequel to ''Film/{{Thor}}'' and ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', and the 17th overall film in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse as well as the fifth entry of Phase 3. It is directed by Creator/TaikaWaititi (''Film/WhatWeDoInTheShadows'', ''Film/HuntForTheWilderpeople'') with a score by Music/MarkMothersbaugh.

* UnusualEuphemism: {{Downplayed}}. The phrase "pulling one off" is common slang for ADateWithRosiePalms used in the British Commonwealth. This is something Taika Waititi, a New Zealander, plays with wholeheartedly when Thor reminisces to Korg about Mjölnir:
