If you watched any of the trailers, promo pieces, or anything associated with the film, it is obvious to see the Thor: Ragnarok’s director, Taika Waititi, drew quite a bit from Jack Kriby’s original work. Aside from the two Avengers in the film that Jack co-created, Thor and The Hulk, the aesthetics and visuals in what we have seen so far all have a piece of Jack Kirby in them.
