Thor: Ragnarok
That was fun.
I really enjoyed it. That they did not actually prevent Ragnarok was neat twist and I enjoyed that we got to see Hulk as character outside not just Bruce Banner.
I'm still not entirely clear how the details of the whole Loki and Odin impersonation situation (that left me confused in the last Thor) really worked, though the general issue of what happened to Odin got cleared up. But I'm still unclear how the details of Loki putting a spell on Odin to then stashing him on Earth worked. It didn't bother me while watching because I haven't rewatched anything before so my memory is fuzzy, and I just went with it. Which really is what you have to do with MCU movies and their plot holes and such, but I can never help myself. And I don't read Thor or Loki centric fanfic to have some robust consensus scaffolding of fansplaining.
I also enjoyed the dynamic between Thor and Loki in this movie, how Loki was helpful, but also not, not "reformed" but also not exactly evil, but like Thor said Loki just acted according to his nature, but it wasn't excused either, and then Thor anticipated the doublecrossing and neutralized it. (Though I think it was inferred that he grabbed the blue tesseract thing again when he got that demonic crown? so I guess he's on to the next scheme).
