Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, primarily through its explicit critique of Asgard's imperialistic past and the subsequent narrative of its people becoming refugees, forcing a redefinition of their identity and homeland.

Thor: Ragnarok demonstrates explicit DEI through the intentional race-swapping of a traditionally white comic book character, Valkyrie, with a Black actress. While the film features a diverse cast and a subtle critique of Asgard's historical actions, its narrative does not explicitly frame traditional identities in a negative light.

Thor: Ragnarok features Valkyrie, a canonically bisexual character, but her LGBTQ+ identity is not explicitly depicted or explored within the film's narrative. While she is portrayed as a strong and heroic figure, her sexuality is incidental to the plot, resulting in a neutral overall impact on LGBTQ+ representation.

The film features Hela, a powerful female character, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against groups of male Asgardian soldiers using melee weapons and her enhanced strength.
