And yes, you do need to stay to the very very end of the credits.
This is a Marvel movie that knows when to embrace the ridiculous and when to puncture any pomposity, and it's a delight from start to big finish. It's so exciting you'd be forgiven for getting physically aroused. The final fight scene, played out to the strains of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song and against a burning Asgard, doesn't hold back. While it might make a few Marvel purists clutch their pearls it's a change that allows Goldblum to channel all the outrageousness into the performance. For instance, in the original comics Jeff Goldblum's character the Grandmaster is blue, here he just rocks a hint of teal eyeshadow. Waititi knows when to hold back too, which is a much harder skill to master. Sakaar in particular is an intoxicating cocktail of influences, from synth music to video games to the 1971 version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Thor: Ragnarok has at least two post-credits scenes: one plot-related, one that's a jokeĪll of the above comes presented on a vaguely hallucinogenic visual platter. Michael Straczynski took over writing Thor in the late 2000s, the God of Thunder had been missing from the Marvel Universe for quite a while.
