Thor Ragnarok Stunned students and silence critics. Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

Thor Ragnarok was released on November 3rd and is the newest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which all its movies exits. Ragnarok has already grossed <\/span>836 <\/span><\/a>million dollars in gross global sales and has been widely loved by critics, boasting a 92% on rotten tomatoes with over 300 critics\u2019 reviews and currently resting at number <\/span>79<\/span><\/a> on Rotten Tomatoes all time best movies list. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thor is a fun entertaining action comedy. Thor Ragnarok is adapted from the Planet Hulk and God of Thunder comics and follows Thor and his brother Loki on a journey to defeat Hela, the goddess of death. The movie lands all its jokes and was described as \u201chilarious\u201d by Ava Pingree \u201819. Additionally, <\/span>Nerdist<\/span><\/a> described it as \u201c<\/span>light, buoyant, colorful and downright hilarious\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

Emergency <\/span>Awesome<\/span><\/a>, a YouTube channel dedicated to TV and movie reviews, reported that the first two Thor movies followed the classic comic book styling of \u201cshakespeare in space\u201d mixed with Nordic mythology. However the third entry into the franchise follows a self-aware comedic route in the same vein as Deadpool.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thor also marked a change in the \u00a0MCU. After the first two Thor movies, <\/span>Joanna Robinson<\/span><\/a> reported that Chris Hemsworth told Kevin Feige, the CEO of Marvel Studios, \u201cI feel like I\u2019m dying here. I feel like I am in <\/span>handcuffs<\/span><\/a>\u201d. Although playing Thor transformed an \u201cAustralian TV actor to a worldwide household name,\u201d Hemsworth had become \u201cbored and frustrated\u201d with the bruting character \u00a0Thor had become. Additionally, the second Thor film, Thor: The Dark World, which was panned by critics and was one of Marvel\u2019s least financially successful films. <\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, late 2016 and early 2017 were some of Marvel\u2019s worst quarters financially. Both the Doctor <\/span>Strange<\/span><\/a> and the sequel in the <\/span>Guardians of the Galaxy<\/span><\/a> trilogy attacked by critics. <\/span>David Nusair<\/a>, one of Rotten Tomatoes \u201ctop critics\u201d stated that Doctor Strange was \u201cQuite possibly the worst of the Marvel movies\u201d and <\/span>Anthony Lane<\/span><\/a>, also one of Rotten Tomatoes \u201ctops critics\u201d said that the Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2 was the \u201cmost expensive group-therapy session in the universe\u201d<\/span>. Consequently, Fiege knew that it was time for a change to the franchise, so he hired Australian \u201c<\/span>goofy<\/span><\/a>\u201d director Tiko Watiti to direct Ragnarok. Feige’s <\/span>gamble<\/span><\/a> has paid off in dividends. Not only was the film a financial success, but it was also loved by fans. Ellen Jorgensen \u201819 said that \u201cMarvel movies had been declining in quality,\u201d but enjoyed how Ragnorok \u201cmade fun of itself, which\u201d she said \u201cbrought life back to the franchise.\u201d The success of Thor Ragnarok could possibly make Feige more confident in his decisions to take risks in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
