10 Sequels That Contradicted The Previous Movie's Message
10. Avengers: Infinity War
While Thor may have one of the best entrances in the Battle of Wakanda in Avengers: Infinity War, it comes at the cost of going against what his previous outing was trying to say.
In Thor: Ragnarok, one of the most significant plot points is when the God of Thunder loses Mjolnir to Hela, who easily breaks it. This forces our hero to assemble a team that can defeat the Goddess of Death, and during a critical moment he receives some helpful advice from Odin.
The Allfather tells his son that the hammer does not define him and that Mjolnir was only meant to harness his abilities, not limit them. This gives Thor the push he needs and, in a sequence set to Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song, he goes full force as he tears through his sister's undead army.
Cut to the next film and we see our hero try to find a new weapon to stop Thanos. Sure, Stormbreaker is great, but it undoes Ragnarok as the film kept making it a point that Thor has to rely on himself to find his true potential.
