10 Reasons to Get Excited About Thor: Ragnarok
Marvel Cinematic Univers Wiki

Who doesn't Love thor? He's one of the coolest and funniest Marvel Heroes. However, some (not me) did not care for his last movie, The Dark World. Well, if you have any worries about this film, forget them. I'm here to tell you why you should be pumped to go see the new Thor movie: Ragnarok. (May contain minor spoilers)

10. It's a Marvel Movie


As I'm sure you know, Marvel, and specifically the MCU, (Marvel Cinematic Universe) has been on a roll lately. Their movies are fantastic, dare I say Marvelous, and the past few years, they've all been pretty good. Ragnarok looks to be no exception. It promises to be a funny, exciting ride with some of our favorite characters.

9. Thor Got a Haircut?!

Whaaaaaat? A haircut! Out of all the Marvel plot twists, we did not see this one coming. Thor's hair has certainly been a heavily debated topic on the interwebs. Personally, I really like it. Christ Hemsworth (Ragna)rocks the new style, and I think it helps set this movie apart from the other Thor movies. It's a whole new ballgame.

8. Costumes!


As a cosplayer, I loooooove costumes. And, it's obvious that the costume designer, Mayes C. Rubeo, and other creators have been working their tails off. Each character has such a gorgeous new outfit to show off. Thor's new costume, Loki's new helmet, and especially Hela's gorgeous ensemble (those antlers though) make me so excited and want to go make all of them.

7. Planet Hulk

This is a cool story in the comics. I haven't read the comic yet, but I did see the animated Marvel movie, which was pretty good. Basically, earth jettisons Bruce Banner into space because they are afraid of the Hulk. He lands on another planet and fights in gladiator battles. It's a crazy story, and I never thought this would get made into a movie. But once again, just like with Dormammu, Marvel has shown that they can and will do any story they want. Add that into a Thor movie, and we are so there.

6. Hela

I have been waiting for this character to show up. I'm so pumped that they finally put the Asgardian goddess of death on screen. She is going to bring a whole new dynamic to the movie. Also, in the comics, she is Loki's daughter, though I don't know if that's in the movie. But on top of putting her in the film, and giving her an amazing comic accurate costume with headgear, they got Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchet to play her. I know her performance is going to be Hela good.

5. The AMAZING Cast

This cast features a huge amount of talent. In addition to the very talented returning Marvel cast members, Marvel added Cate Blanchet, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thomson, and Karl Urban. So, It's gonna be good. It's one of Marvel's most loaded casts yet, and it will be hilarious to see them all together.

4. Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston are in the SAME MOVIE

Speaking of the cast, MY TWO FAVORITE ACTORS ARE IN THE SAME MOVIE? YES!!!! These are two of the nicest people and best actors on the planet, and I can't wait to see them interact on screen in one of my favorite series.

3. Taika Wattiti is Directing

Taika is a hilarious, clever director probably best known for his mockumentary about vampires in New Zealand called What We Do In The Shadows, which he also starred in. I'm thrilled that he took on this project, because he's great at directing comedies, and he's just a fun guy. It's obvious that hee's brought his A game to Thor: Ragnarok and I can't wait to see the finished project.

2. It's Taking on a More GOTG Style

We as Marvel Fans, love the guardians of the Galaxy. So when a Thor movie starts taking on more of that fun, colorful style, you know it's gonna be good.

1. Infinity War Setup

Along with everything else about this movie, we are going to see the last Infinity Stone (the soul gem) and get some major set up for Infinity War! Who else is excited?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
