** ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' to ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''. At the barest level, the two films do have a vaguely similar premise: [[Characters/MCUSteveRogers Captain America]] and [[Characters/MCUThorOdinson Thor]] are faced with a situation that [[ICantDoThisByMyself they cannot handle on their own]], [[{{Crossover}} so they form alliances with heroes outside their solo franchises]] in a manner similar to ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron films]].

''Thor: Ragnarok'', by contrast, is a giddy SpaceOpera and BuddyPicture that embraces the cosmic aesthetic of Creator/JackKirby, and involves [[Characters/MCUThorOdinson Thor]] ''assembling'' a team [[PuttingTheBandBackTogether of fellow former Avengers and warriors of Asgard]] such as [[Characters/MCUBruceBanner The Hulk]], [[Characters/MCUAsgard Valkyrie]], and his former enemy [[Characters/MCULokiLaufeyson Loki]] against [[Characters/MCUHela Hela]], a superpowered, scenery-chewing [[KnightOfCerebus Goddess of Death]]. Also, while ''Civil War'' was largely set up by the events of second ''Avengers'' movie ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', ''Ragnarok'' plays an important role in setting up the ''third'' ''Avengers'' movie, ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''.

Misuse of the page/link. Spiritual Antithesis is for stories, not characters.
Deleted line(s) 153 (click to see context) :
* A character example rather than a story one: ''Film/MyNameIsEmily'' has Emily Egan as the SpiritualAntithesis of ''Film/HarryPotter'''s Luna Lovegood. Both girls have {{Missing Mom}}s who died in accidents when they were children. Both have a CloudCuckooLander writer for a father and both are bullied at school for their oddness. Luna is ThePollyanna about her situation, has a close-knit relationship with her father and her quirky attitude causes CharacterDevelopment for others -- not to mention that she is portrayed as lovably odd. Emily meanwhile is bitter and depressed, is estranged from her father, is nearly DrivenToSuicide over her situation and undergoes CharacterDevelopment herself through friendships -- and her oddness is used to show how detached she is from reality. The kicker? ''Both'' are played by Creator/EvannaLynch.

* ''Film/PansLabyrinth'' is the antithesis to ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', having the same plot structure of a girl going DownTheRabbitHole to a fantasy world, escaping from the real world. Where Alice generally faces whimsical and harmless characters, with no great danger, Ofelia faces the terror of the Spanish Civil War and the danger posed by her new stepfather, the cruel Captain Vidal.[[note]]Captain Vidal, in fact, kills people left and right throughout the film, and only tolerates Ofelia because her mother is pregnant with his son.[[/note]] The tone is notably darker, mixing elements of Brother's Grimm dark fairy tales and the tone of a war movie where AnyoneCanDie. It calls attention to being an antithesis by having Ofelia wear a green color swapped version of the Blue dress Alice is typically depicted in. Whereas Alice's dress is usually pristine and clean no matter what happens, at one point Ofelia angers her mother and stepfather by coming in a soiled dress after one of her supernatural tests.
