2. The Excellent Musical Score

Nobody would blame you if you couldn't remember much of Patrick Doyle and Brian Tyler's scores from the first two Thor movies, because they're perfectly serviceable and not really much else. Not bad, just not very inspired either.

Ragnarok smartly changes things up by bringing in Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh to deliver a score that brilliantly melds more conventional orchestral fare with synthesisers.

The result is one of the more atypical blockbuster scores released this year, and it not only perfectly compliments the superb visuals, but again helps distinguish Ragnarok from the rest of the MCU and superhero movies in general.
