It’s way too much to get into here, but we have a whole article about her comic origins for you. Hela’s origin is different from both her comic and mythological versions. That crazy headdress has always been part of the party…Īlthough this page is even more like the look we get in the movie… Hela first appeared in Journey into Mystery #102 (1964) by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. – Surtur ends up kind of manifesting a giant snake, and I wonder if this is supposed to represent the Midgard Serpent, disturbance of which is another harbinger of the mythological Ragnarok. While the character has been around since the Lee/Kirby days, it’s really the Simonson stuff that made the character pop on the comics page, and the visual we get here is more in line with his vision.

The first villain we meet in the movie is Surtur, and fans of Walt Simonson’s take on Thor will be excited. – Ragnarok, of course, is the Norse “twilight of the gods.” Key points of the mythological Ragnarok that are explored here include the death of Odin and Thor losing an eye (although he usually has to do that to himself in order to gain knowledge, but we’ll take the badass fight instead for cinematic purposes). If it checks out, I’ll update this! What is Ragnarok?

Spot something I didn’t? Shout it out in the comments, or give me a holler on Twitter. So with the full understanding that I definitely missed something (or a few something), it’s up to you, dear readers, to help me out. Thor: Ragnarok is a feast for Marvel fans, and it will probably take me a second viewing to catch everything in it, simply because in nearly every scene there’s a design, a piece of architecture, or a background character who positively must have come from the comics page. It’s now available to own on Blu-ray and DVD, too.

And without any pesky, annoying Earthlings (ahem, Midgardians) hanging around to clog up the proceedings it’s got more Marvel references and easter eggs per frame than any of its predecessors. It’s the most cosmic Marvel movie this side of the Guardians of the Galaxy series. Thor: Ragnarok isn’t just the best Thor movie.
