'Thor: Ragnarok' was one of the best movies of 2017 and majorly snubbed by the Oscars

• "Thor: Ragnarok" was one of the best and most exciting movies of 2017, but it was completely overlooked by the Oscars.
• It reinvented what an action comedy and blockbuster movie can be.
• It's truly unique story and filmmaking from director Taika Waititi deserved a nomination in the directing category, adapted screenplay, visual effects, and production design.

"Thor: Ragnarok" is no "Call Me by Your Name." But it's a fair comparison.

Like a majority of the films recognized at the 2018 Oscars, "Ragnarok" is original in its exciting tone and style, proving that blockbuster movies, even those in the Marvel Cinematic universe, can be fairly compared to more artistic indie films.

Of all the movies that came out in 2017, it's probably the most striking, even compared to Guillermo del Toro's "The Shape of Water" (which was recently accused of plagiarism).

"Thor: Ragnarok" is a masterpiece of action and comedy filmmaking, and essentially created its own genre. Like "Wonder Woman" and best adapted screenplay nominee "Logan," it offers a fresh take on an overdone, often dull genre that will without a doubt pave the way for movies and filmmakers of the future.

With its unique style from director Taika Waititi, who has a very bright future and should have been nominated in the directing category, "Ragnarok" is a hopeful example of what modern filmmaking can be. It definitely deserved to get recognized at the Oscars for its excellent (and hilarious) screenplay, directing, and visuals.

Here's why "Thor: Ragnarok" should've been recognized at the 2018 Oscars:
