Thor: Ragnarok contained one of the MCU's biggest twists to date, when it revealed that Cate Blanchett's evil Hela - the goddess of death - was actually Thor and Loki's long-lost sister. Talk about family troubles.

Did this surprise feel a little shoehorned in, purely for the shock value? Yes. Hela being related to Thor didn't really impact the plot much, and the film would have worked just as well without this connection.

But then there are small details like this one that make the whole thing feel painstakingly thought-out and well-implemented.

During the film, Thor, Loki and Hela can all be seen drawing bladed weapons, and when they do, they all draw them in the same way, leading to the same pose: the blades are pulled out and pointed to the sides, aiming slightly towards the floor.

It seems like this trio has more in common than they think...
