Thor: Ragnarok

Taika Waititi · 2017

Thor: Ragnarok (2017), directed by Taika Waititi, is the third Thor film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It follows Thor’s exile to the alien planet Sakaar, his gladiatorial duel with the Hulk, and his return to Asgard to stop Hela’s conquest. With vibrant cinematography by Javier Aguirresarobe, a synth-driven score by Mark Mothersbaugh, and performances led by Chris Hemsworth, Cate Blanchett, and Tessa Thompson, the film prioritises wit, pace, and visual invention over mythic solemnity. It grossed $854 million worldwide and received praise for its direction and energy, though some critics found its themes underdeveloped and its finale visually overwhelming.

Toy Story 4

Josh Cooley, John Lasseter · 2019

Woody, no longer Bonnie's favourite toy, follows a homemade spork named Forky on a road trip and is reunited with the long-lost Bo Peep, who has built an independent life as a lost toy rather than an owned one. Josh Cooley, who replaced original director John Lasseter partway through a lengthy development process, uses that reunion to reopen a question Toy Story 3 seemed to have already settled: what a toy is actually for once being loved by a child stops being guaranteed.
