Marvel has released 18 new images fromThor: Ragnarok. The upcoming sequel sees Thor (Chris Hemsworth) imprisoned on the other side of the universe and forced to put together a team in order to stop the ruthless Goddess of Death, Hela (Cate Blanchett). From what we’ve seen so far, the movie looks like an absolute blast and a far cry from the first twoThormovies.

While some fans have cited a look that’s similar toGuardians of the Galaxy, I would say thatRagnarokstill looks like it has its own personality. Yes, there are big, bold, bright colors and a variety of alien species, butGuardiansdoesn’t have the market cornered on that. Additionally, directorTaika Waititihas a very different sensibility thanJames Gunn, so I don’t foreseeRagnarokas an imitation job. Also, I’m certainly not going to argue against more Marvel movies being big and colorful, especially when they look as stunning asThor: Ragnarok.
