1. Direction
Over the past nine years Marvel has championed the indie director giving them a platform to make a large-scale film and entrusting them with hundreds of millions of dollars and their beloved properties. Marvel stuck with the same recipe of success and took a risk turning over the Thor franchise to New Zealand actor, directorm and comedian Taika Waititi, who only had two independent films under his belt. The risk payed off Waititi was able to come in and change the world from it’s previous installments thematically. Waititi’s comedy background aided in the development of this film. Ragnarok is a character driven comedy first then a superhero film. It’s fun, action-packed and quite a spectacle
