Hey everyone, I'm The Canadian Lad and this is a re-watch of Thor: Ragnarok at 0.25x speed
where I found 20 new details.
But please keep in mind, because this is a re-watch so I've taken a lot of the details
from my previous Thor: Ragnarok breakdown.
But as Loki has been captivating all of our minds, I thought this would be a perfect time
to re-watch the best Thor film.
But lads, you'll be happy to know today I've been sponsored by Disney itself.
So I'd like to thank Disney: Heroes Battle Mode for sponsoring this video as a paid promotion!
Disney Heroes: Battle Mode is a strategy based mobile RPG with a really fun storyline.
It's completely free to play and you can scan my QR code or visit the link in my description
to easily download it.
I love watching all the Disney characters I grew up with, battling it out.
I mean, what other game can you play as Buzz Lightyear and team up with Ursula to battle
bad guys?
You can choose from over 100 Disney and Pixar characters.
I still have lots to unlock but right now my favorite character to use is Frozone.
He freezes his opponents so they can’t attack until unfrozen, giving your team the advantage!
New skills become available as the story progresses and upgrade your characters.
I unlocked Elastigirl’s ‘Element of Surprise” skill, which increases the damage dealt to
the nearest foe.
Another really fun feature is that you can join a guild, and team up with players all
over the world to take on super tough enemies, or even invite friends to create your own
guild ! Right now, if you click the link in my description

And you might even get to battle me in-game!
The game is available on the App store & Google Play.
Number 1: Thor says to Surtur that he thought his father Odin killed him half a million
years ago!
But Surtur says this: He talks about destiny.
Thereby confirming the existence of the Time-Keepers who pretty much decide everything.
As we've seen in Loki episode 2, the destruction of Asgard aka Ragnarok was always meant to
happen.
Number 2: When Loki and Thor come to earth to find Odin, Doctor Strange kinda interrupts
their conversation.
He sends Loki somewhere else and we know where that was and gives Thor an address.
Now notice, the card that has the address didn't just come out of thin air!
If I slow it down and zoom in, you can very clearly see the card appearing from the portal
itself.
So this very subtle detail adds more sense to this scene.
It was probably Doctor Strange opening the portal, stealing Loki and throwing in the
card.
Number 3: In the final fight, Taika Waititi has actually re-created the Doom cover with
Skurge.
Now, Karl Urban who plays the character of Skurge, also played the main character in
Doom released back in 2005.
Number 4: In the scene where Thor and Hulk argue, at one point Thor apologizes.
But notice, instead of calling himself “Hulk”, Hulk says “I just get so angry all the time,”
Until this scene Hulk only ever talked about himself in 3rd-person.
He always addresses himself as "Hulk" But this is the only scene where he says "I".
This goes to show how Thor’s friendship slowly started to bring Hulk's human side.
In fact, this is the only time Hulk says “I” in the entire MCU.
Number 5: During Thor's fight with Hulk, Thor used multiple weapons such as: a single handed
mace and a shield, then two swords and then a massive hammer!
Out of all these weapons that he used, only the hammer remains intact and doesn't break.
The mace and the swords all get destroyed.
Well, seems like perfect for the God of Hammers, doesn't it?
Number 6: One thing I realized after re-watching this movie is that Loki is scared of Hulk
while Banner is scared of Loki.
It's like poetry, it rhymes.
Number 7: At the end of the film, Surtur becomes so massive that when he swings his sword,
it literally moves the cloud around him.
Now that is some attention to detail!
Number 8: Thor was wearing a guard on his right leg as a precaution when he was trying
to convince Valkyrie to join him because he knew whether or not she agrees
to come with him, he's gonna have to make the jump anyway and that's when this shin
guard can protect his leg from the fall.
He probably found it laying around in the room where he and Hulk were staying.
and when Valkyrie refuses to follow his path, Thor tells her he's going alone to save Asgard.
So he jumps out of the window and there we get to see the shin guard protecting his leg
from getting hurt.
Although he loses it as soon as he stops sliding.
Thor only wore this guard twice in the film.
Once during the fight with Hulk and once in this scene.
Number 9: At the end of the film where everybody recognizes Thor as the rightful king of Asgard
Loki also stands beside Valkyrie to pay respect.
But notice how Hulk makes a fist just as Loki walks by.
It's because no matter what, that's still the green monster.
He wasn't Smart Hulk yet.
So in his mind he remembers how Loki caused chaos in the entire city of New York in 2012.
And that fist reflects the anger he has inside him.
Number 10: When Dr Strange uses one strand of Thor's hair to find Odin he casts a spell
with his hands forming this symbol called Triquetra
It’s seen again on the floor when Hela resurrects the wolf aka Fenris and her army with the
eternal flame.
This symbol appeared for the first time in Thor 1 when Odin famously cast a spell on
Mjolnir.
Number 11: - When Hela first appears in the movie, we can see her dress is torn apart
and she is even carrying some mild injuries.
Meaning she does not have her self-healing ability yet.
But as soon as she steps on Asgard, you can see how she heals herself in a matter of seconds.
and throughout the film, her headdress keeps growing bigger and bigger.
And that's why Odin said "She draws her power from Asgard."
The longer she remains there, the more powerful she becomes.
Number 12: In the contest of champions, Hulk with his warhammer hits at the sword of Thor
so hard that it bends down.
They literally show it for a second before Hulk kicks Thor, sending him slamming into
the wall.
Number 13: Thor gets knocked out by Hulk and goes unconscious but when he wakes up, he
finds himself in a room with Hulk, he looks through the window and there in the
background, we see a spaceship taking off going higher and higher.
it's going for a wormhole and then BOOM!
It gets blown out of the sky.
So Grandmaster wasn't kidding when he said nobody can escape from Sakaar.
If you try to do so, you'll be killed.
Number 14: After Bruce Banner finally comes back to his senses, he and Thor are diverged
once again because of the Hulk parade.
But if you look closely, there's a very brief moment where Banner can be seen dancing in
the parade shouting Hulk while Thor was looking for him.
Number 15: - Right after Bruce Banner finally breaks out of being Hulk, he searches through
the log of Quinjet to find out how he ended up being Hulk for 2 years!
There we see for a brief moment Hulk and Banner's faces blend together on the screen.
This is foreshadowing that in future Banner will indeed find a way to merge himself with
the green monster and become Professor Hulk.
Because the script of Avengers: Endgame was ready even before Thor: Ragnarok began shooting.
So at that point, everyone at Marvel pretty much knew that Smart Hulk was coming!
So they put a subtle clue to foreshadow the coming of Professor Hulk.
Number 16: When Thor and Valkyrie were having a conversation about Hela and Asgard,
Hulk was playing in the background bouncing a ball against the wall and one time he actually
fails to catch the ball.
He was playing all fine until he started talking to Thor and that's when he lost his concentration.
Number 17: The main theme song of the film is Immigrant by LED Zeppelin.
Which really took the movie to a different level.
And so did some of the lyrics.
For example the line where it says: “The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to
new lands” is literally the ending of the film.
Because at the climax, Thor and the Revengers rescue all Asgardians in a spaceship and are
on their way to make Earth as their new home.
Number 18: - In the Final Fight, Thor was using his swords upside down.
He got so powerful by the end of the film that he didn't even need a sharp sword to
kill.
He was literally killing Hela's army with the handles of his sword.
Now talk about power eh!
Number 19: When Thor arrives in Asgard, he sees many broken murals and one of them has
his face on it.
Notice how the mural is cracked exactly through his right eye.
Foreshadowing his destiny of losing one of his good eyes just like his father.
Number 20: In this scene Hela not only stopped Mjolnir from hitting her but also kept hold
of it from reaching Thor's hand.
Lemme explain what I mean.
If you pay attention to the strap attached to the handle, you can see how it's floating
horizontally going against the forces of gravity.
By floating flat, it indicates that Thor is calling Mjolnir but it's not answering him
because Hela is not letting it go.
In the official trailer this scene looks totally different because they had to re-shoot it
for the movie.
In the trailer, the strap can be seen following the laws of physics because it's facing downwards.
So why is it different in the trailer than the movie?
Because in the trailer version, Thor wasn't calling Mjolnir.
But in the re-shoot, Thor is actively trying to summon his hammer.
And that's why the strap is floating horizontally instead of pointing downwards because it's
trying to reach Thor's hands but Hela is not setting it free.
It's a very small detail that proves just how much work Marvel puts behind every scene
to make it look special.
And that's it, this would be my breakdown of Thor: Ragnarok at 0.25x speed and I hope
you enjoyed this re-watch where I found some additional details.
I thought a lot of you may be watching Thor: Ragnarok to better understand the Loki series,
therefore I re-watched it too.
I hope this video makes you re-watch this movie cause it just has that rewatchability!
