Wai Ting and Film & TV-industry veteran Daniel Perry review the seventeenth Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Thor: Ragnarok (2017).
Director Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows, Jojo Rabbit) injects his wildly improvisational humour into Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, soft-rebooting the franchise from Shakespearean Sci-Fi to 80’s Space Adventure-Comedy. We discuss how these changes impacted the cast and lead character’s role heading into Infinity War, the brilliant Team Thor short films that preceded it, as well as Daniel’s insights into working as a digital distributor for Marvel Studios films during his time at Disney.
Synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes:
In Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Ragnarok,” Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok–the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization–at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger–the Incredible Hulk!
