Thor: Ragnarok - 20 WTF Moments

15. The Warriors Three Deaths

It would almost have been better if Taika Waititi had simply forgotten the Warriors Three existed, rather than doing what his story did to them in the first act of Ragnarok.

They're famed warriors - as skilled as Thor (or he wouldn't have them as his bros on the battlefield) with feats as legendary as his - but unfortunately, they're also a hangover from the previous Thor movies. Their continued existence is a loose end that has to be dealt with to allow Hela to take over Asgard - which is fine - but both Volstagg and Fandral are killed ridiculously quickly - and Hogun gets one awkward face-to-face with the villain before he goes the same way.

It was all way too casual and they all deserved a lot more than that.
