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-winningactress 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?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
