Thor: Ragnarok - 20 WTF Moments

4. Thor's Eye

The trailers for Ragnarok did some pretty good work hiding the fact that Thor gets his eye sliced out by his warring sister (he barely even seems to show any pain when it happens, weirdly, or not enough anyway). The same goes for the Infinity War poster, which has artfully concealed the injury.

But it's still a gross moment in the movie, which comes as a fairly big surprise. If Hela was able to dash out his eye, why not just stick her sword through his head and have done with it? Why toy with him other than for an opportunity for histrionics? It's a little silly.

At least now Nick Fury isn't the only eye-patch wearer in the MCU.
