Thor: Ragnarok arrived in 2017 as the third Thor film from Marvel Studios, directed by Taika Waititi, with a brighter, more comic tone than earlier entries. Its trailers and soundtrack leaned into bold, retro rock energy and grand orchestral hits, and short excerpts soon circulated online as ready made hype music. Fans lifted the most recognisable swell for edits, memes and soundboards, where the association with Thor does most of the work. Even without picture, listeners hear a hero arriving, which keeps the clip useful long after the film's release.
