Could Thor: Ragnarok’s Trailer Be Marvel’s Best Yet?

Thor: Ragnarok’s trailer dropped yesterday, and it got me thinking whether it could be Marvel’s best ever. The first thing I’ll admit is that out of all the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Thor movies haven’t been up there with the best for me personally. I hugely enjoyed watching Kenneth Branagh’s first Thor film, but it still felt a bit lacklustre compared to Marvel’s other offerings.

If films like Logan and The Dark Knight have taught us anything it’s that comic book movies can be feature incredible spectacle and have captivating characters. But we’re not going to judge a book by its cover, yet if Justice League’s new trailer is anything to go by, it’ll be more of the same from Snyder’s DC cinematic universe, just with a few more jokes added in this time around.
