Thor - Ragnarök (2017)

Marvel Studios' films, particularly »Thor: Ragnarok,« directed by Taika Waititi, showcase the studio's ability to blend different styles into a successful and coherent meta-narrative within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This third Thor film and 17th installment in the MCU stands out as a comedic masterpiece that combines humor with subversive and socially critical tones, featuring standout performances by Chris Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Cate Blanchett, Tom Hiddleston, and more. Unlike Warner Brothers' faltering DC Universe attempts, Marvel excels at entertaining mass audiences while satisfying hardcore fans, demonstrating that even a film about gods and spaceships can tackle serious themes with a light-hearted approach.
