Thor: Ragnarök is the story of a man attempting to come to terms with his dormant potential, when he has been doubted for so long by so many, coming as he does from a far away land where people dress and speak funny, abiding by odd customs and always seeming to stand out from the crowd, yet determined as ever to fight for the recognition he believes he is owed. His name is Taika Waititi, and this is the tale of the last time people thought he was funny or commercially viable.
