Since the MCU has fucked up the central players from the Jane Foster Thor storyline, if they’re to follow the comics at all I feel the villain might be Cul Borson??

Thor: Ragnarok Review
First time doing this kind of thing, but I really felt like it after watching the movie today.
Spoilers under the “Read More” thing
Let’s talk about this movie, which is easily the best movie in the entire Thor trilogy. It really doesn’t feel like a super hero movie, the comedy stands out a lot but it doesn’t get to ruin the mood of the scene, at all.
Pros:
- The opening of the movie with the Surtur fight was great and it set the mood of the entire movie in less than 5 minutes. Getting to see Muspelheim for the first time in the MCU was great, although I wish the scene was a bit longer;
- The Soundtrack of the entire movie is gold;
- Skurge’s scene as Thor got back to Asgard was pretty funny;
- The play about Loki’s “death” was incredible, they even redid the OST from Thor: The Dark World and that made me laugh so badly;
- Benedict Cumberbath’s Dr Strange was great, didn’t stand out as I thought he would but that’s fine. Interesting to see how his magic skills improved during the time between his own movie and this one;
- Odin is a major dick to all his children but at the same time his demise was still touching and seeing him acknowledging Loki as his son was great.;
- Hela’s entrance was incredible and terrifying at the same time. Loved seeing the cosmic rays like the comics.;
- Never thought about a fight happening in the Bifrost beam thing, that was really cool;
- Sakaar is really different from the comics and I’m kinda ok with it;
- Valkyrie’s introduction was one of the best things in the movie. Tessa Thompson’s version of the character was one of the best things in the movie;
- This was probably one of my faves Stan Lee’s cameos so far, did the Watchers left him in Sakaar or he got lost and ended up there?
- I love Grandmaster so much, Jeff Goldblum was amazing as the character and doesn’t even make me care that they replaced the Red King with him;
- Korg was just so, good. I loved how he was adapted and I really want to see more of him in the future. Really glad Miek is mute so we won’t get a World War Hulk adaptation;
- Hulk finally got his own personality aside from being a mindless beast as seen in the previous Avengers;
- Poor Bruce Banner tho, not getting out for 2 years seems pretty rough and when he finally turns back, he has to wears Tony’s tight pants;
- Loki reacting to the Thor vs Hulk fight was amazing;
- I love Heimdall and I’m so glad he had more screentime, even tho he deserves much more;
- Cate Blanchett’s portray of Hela was incredible, seeing her murder all the Asgardian soldiers was awesome;
- Thor trying to bond with both Hulk and Banner was precious and he got all protective whenever Banner got stressed;
- Devil’s Anus
- Loki vs Valkyrie was incredible, the flashback to her original trauma was a really nice touch;
- Thor’s story about how Loki tried to murder him when they were 8 was so good;
- “we’re not doing the ‘get help” “GET HELP MY BROTHER IS DYING”;
- Thor seeing through Loki’s tricks was such a nice touch on their development; 
- “I see you’re desperate for leadership” “wow, thanks man”;
- The whole sequence until they get to the giant wormhole is gold;
- Asgard looks so cool, I’ve always thought it was some sort of planet but it’s really just a huge af city with endless water in space;
- Skurge’s character arc was pretty good, seeing his hesitation in killing a civilian was nice but it could be worked better;
- Heimdall fighting with that huge sword is always good;
- Fenris is just so cute it was so sad seeing him getting beaten up;
- Seeing Bruce not transforming midair and hitting the ground for the first time since 2008 was amazing;
- The final fight was just, epic. Don’t think there are more words that can describe it;
- Thor’s lightning/thunder powers are awesome;
- Valkyrie just walking as Grandmaster’s ship were shooting fireworks was so extra and amazing;
- I felt so relieved when they used Surtur again because I thought he was like “hey I’m the new Batroc the Leaper now”;
- Thor losing an eye was really cool but he looks weird af with an eyepatch;
- Listening to the theme from the first movie as Thor turns into the official king of Asgard gave such a good feeling, it really felt like a conclusion to his character arc;
- I guess Loki is a good guy now? At least until Thanos shows up, which I guess happens at the end of the movie (?).
- (Probably the best thing was that Heimdall didn’t die because I was really scared it would happen)
Cons:
- Although I loved seeing Muspelheim, I wish we had a bigger glimpse at the other realms;
- The lack of flashbacks kinda bothered me; wish they showed Hela being banished to Hel or something as Odin told them about it. but instead we just got people talking about it and those panels Odin covered up;
- Also how no one in Asgard knows who she is? Did Odin brainwash them all?
- Kinda sad how the whole “Hela is your sister” thing throws away the chance of Angela appearing on the MCU;
- Skurge’s character arc was good but it could be better; 
- Banner could have had more screentime, especially since he’s sold as one of the movie’s main character;
- Valkyrie change of heart was too quick, Loki induced a flashback and that was enough for her? (I think she might have some suicidal tendencies too);
- The Warriors Three deserved better, so did Sif;
- I’m really glad we now have a confirmation Beta Ray Bill exists in the MCU but like, where is he? how he’ll know he’s worthy of everyone’s love now??
Jokes aside, this was the best Thor movie so far. Focusing on the comedy was a really risky move and I’m really glad it payed off. I’ve seen some people complaining about the CGI but I didn’t have any problems with it. 
The cast was amazing and all the people who worked on this movie gave their best on making it such a great movie. If I had to rate it I’d give it 9.5/10. I really recommend seeing it in 3D because the visuals look really well with it.
