Thor: Ragnarok - Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

This might be Thor's story, but he definitely isn't the best thing about it. Not by some distance.

In a film so uncharacteristically defined by the creative quirks of the director (in the context of the MCU, anyway - there's no denying that he still had a brief to hit), it's pretty fitting that the character played by Taika Waititi and who most overtly expresses his sense of humour would be the best part of Ragnarok.

Korg, who appeared as part of the Warbound in Planet Hulk, is reimagined here as a straight up comedy character. He's a nice guy - a personality wildly at odds with his look - and every single line he says is designed to be devastatingly hilarious. It all succeeds too.

You will come out of Ragnarok wanting more of Korg, and there's every chance that he will become the most memed character from Ragnarok when the dust settles.
