Thor: Ragnarok - 26 Easter Eggs & References You Must See

23. Kneel!

Thor Ragnarok Hela
Marvel Studios

As soon as she appears like an emo marvel, Hela makes an impact by trying to claim herself as a bigger, more bad-ass version of Loki by calling back to one of his big moments.

Just as Loki arrived on Earth and demanded that its populous showed their immediate fealty to him - "Kneel before me. I said, KNEEL!" - Hela turns his moment of strength on its head, demanding that he and Thor "Kneel before your Queen."

It's a great little barbed call-back.
