Thor: Ragnarok - 10 WTF Comic Moments You Definitely Won't See

Later this year, the God of Thunder will be returning to our screens once again in Thor: Ragnarok. With director Taika Waititi known for oddball comedies like What We Do in the Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Ragnarok has the potential to be much more surreal than previous entries.

However, it sure as Hel isn't going to beat the comics for weirdness. While most of Marvel's universe aims to keep at least a pretence of staying grounded, Thor's stories aren't afraid to skip right along that Rainbow Bridge and take a flying leap into the crazy realm. The results have been a mix of good, bad and ugly.

Thor's travels over the decades have taken him across the vast reaches of space and even into other dimensions and that's led to some pretty outrageous moments. This list collects ten of them.

There are obscure bits of Thor's mythology, stories ranging from wacky and bizarre to controversially dark and even a crossover with one of the last heroes you'd expect.

One thing is for certain though, you shouldn't expect to see any of these on the big screen anytime soon, no matter how many sources Waititi draws from...

It's a situation I'm sure we can all relate to. You've got a long journey ahead of you, but you really don't feel like getting dragged there by your magic hammer. So what do you do? Why, fire up your goat chariot of course.

Taken from Norse mythology, Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder are the lords of goats. A pair of mythical beasts, they were famous for their inability to be tamed while the other ran free.

Egged on by Loki, a young Thor attempted to break them in. After numerous failures, he enlisted the help of the dwarves. They built him a magic harness that he used to snare both goats at once and so became their master.

The goats have popped up a few times in the comics, usually when Thor needs to transport more people than he can just scoop up in his arms. However, they've become much more important in recent stories. Having lost the use of Mjolnir, Thor (except also he's called Odinson now and someone else is Thor, it's all a bit confusing) can no longer fly and so he is completely reliant on his goats for flight.

An even weirder bit of the mythology that the comics seem to have left out is that Thor could eat his goats and then resurrect them with Mjolnir, but only if their bones remained unbroken.
