Thor: Ragnarok - Trimmed Edition

I cannot find the words to describe how wonderful this edit was. Useless and flat jokes are gone, awkward pauses are out, and things feel elevated because of it. I did ding you a star for an audio effect (only because it stood out so much), but please don't take offense to it. When Thor throws the ball out against the glass, the shattering sound effect needed to extend longer, it ended too soon. Personally I would have kept the Dr. Strange and "tunnel scream", but only because it made me laugh so much.
But in all seriousness, you have done excellent work and this is a GRAND example of why I love this community so much! My hats off to you! I will never watch the vanilla version again!

Judging from all the other reviews below, I must be the odd critic out, because I love Thor: Ragnarok! It's my favorite of the three Thor movies (Although I'm curious to see how Love and Thunder will do when it arrives in theaters), and it's the one that, in my mind, pulled off the silliness of Marvel the best. While I don't think it's a perfect film (No Marvel film is, except for Avengers: Infinity War), I still like it a lot and have a lot of affection for it. Between this version and DigMod's, I can happily say that DigMod's is a nice improvement!

I appreciate that this edit isn't attempting to reinvent the wheel. It's a difference of only 13 minutes, and this film didn't need a major improvement as far as I'm concerned. The only two things that separated this edit from the original were that it was shorter, and that it was slightly more serious this time around. I approve of both changes. Clocking in at 117 minutes, the length of this edit is perfect! Not too long, not too short. And the slightly darker tone helped make a lot of the more emotional moments even more effective. The scene where Hulk sees Black Widow's message on the plane, for example, hit harder for me than it did in the theatrical version despite being mostly uncut. I'm also impressed with how invisible almost all of the changes are! The only one I noticed was when Thor threw the ball and the shattered glass sound effect sounded off from the rest of the movie for some reason. Other than that, I didn't notice any of the other changes, and considering how hard that can be sometimes, I have to say, "Bravo, DigMod!"

All in all, this version of Thor: Ragnarok is as close to perfect as it gets, and could very well be my go-to version from here on out! Highly recommended for both Marvel fans and non-Marvel fans!

A highly recommended edit!
I loved the theatrical cut, but felt that certain bits were out of place - or rather over the top. For example, Thor spinning during the conversation with Surtur, or shrieking several times throughout the film. Another example - Banner crashing on the Bifrost. I felt that trimming these bits could greatly improve the film. It turns out I was right.
DigModiFicaTion's edit is wonderfully done - both technically and narrative-wise. I liked it a lot, but deducted 2 points from my score because of two small issues:
a. Tiny continuity issue - skipping the visit to New York means that Thor and Loki should not be wearing civilian clothes, yet for some reason (in this edit) they do.
b. Trimming somewhat important moments - 'Get Help' sheds some interesting light on the siblings' relationship and therefore should not be cut. Additionally, Hela's comment about the fake Infinity Gauntlet was a nice way of tying loose ends, and I was sorry to see it gone.

Again - all in all a brilliant edit, well done.

I really enjoyed this trimmed down version and the editing was excellent. The original suffered from sophomoric humor and, at times, brought me out of the typical Marvel movie. That being said I did enjoy the original but hoped for something better. This fan-edit is what I was seeking. It is still funny mind you. There is no helping that. The actor playing Thor has really honed his skills in the humor department but as I watched this with my son he struggled with the cuts. So now I believe this is generational. What I thought was inane was downright hilarious to a teen.

The choices the faneditor made were excellent and his editing skills were flawless(Devils Anus- really?). So my son will not allow me to replace this as our go-to but the Trimmed Edition deserves to be MY go-to. So everyone who enjoyed the original should give this a chance, it is still funny and it still will make you feel like a kid again.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said. This is now my definitive edition of Thor: Ragnarok! I only wish it had been edited from a BD source, as compression artifacting is slightly distracting at various points throughout, but that's a consequence of starting with an iTunes download source.
