The repartee between Thor and Hulk/Banner is so hilarious. By giving Planet Hulk comic fans a look-in would have been a better move. At first I thought the introduction of Hulk in the early trailer is a misstep, but Mark Ruffalo's casting would have been close to impossible to keep under wraps. The tone is light but no less serious, populated by so many colourful characters in a vivid world trapped in impossible situations. At one point, Odin even asks a defeated Thor "What are you, the God of Hammers? " that had me laughing till my tears rolled down. In between he gives Thor ample opportunities to be a beer-swigging beefcake, negotiate some treacherously outlandish situations and strip him off the one thing that makes him Thor, the Mjolnir. But how do you inject an indie comedic vibe into a superhero franchise that has not been done before? Essentially, Waititi throws out all the cumbersome weights that hampered Thor and tells a simpler but no less cool story about a superhero trying to get back to his home to clean house.

Apparently, the Marvel-Disney studios have given him full reins and he went ahead and make a comedy. He has the indie root in him and he makes superbly smart comedies with oddles of heart, just watch What We Do in the Shadows (2014) and Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) to see his outstanding oeuvre. New Zealand director Taika Waititi seems like an unusual choice to helm Thor's third standalone movie. I know I know Justice League has not descended, but looking at the trailer it doesn't take a genius to see that it will be doing the above-mentioned routine. But Thor: Ragnarok throws that over-used game plan out from Bifrost into an unknown territory, making it this year's best superhero movie. It is hard to be vested in his quests because God don't die, hurt as much and can always employ one last deus ex machina that solves the unsolvable problem. It is the same blueprint for many superhero movies, but Thor has the God element that made the stories feel even more preposterous and ridiculous.
Same old "save the world" routines, brooding hero with a burden, a love connection born out of necessity and bloated battle scenes. Frankly, I didn't like the first two Thor movies, the game plan was so clear from the get go.
