Best: The Newcomers

It seemed like an impossible task, but Taika Waititi did it! In addition to making one of the best MCU movies to date, he introduced characters who quickly became favorites. Sure, he missed the mark with Skurge (but we knew from the start that he would die) and Miek (really, it was as if he never existed), but he did an awesome job with the others.

Right from their initial reactions, critics praised Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie as the movie’s standout newcomer. She may not be the same as the comic book character (in the MCU, Valkyrie is actually a rank, not an individual), but she definitely stole the spotlight! Plus, her introduction was one of the funniest and coolest ever!

Then there was Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum), the MCU’s other Elder of the Universe. It was obvious in every scene that Goldblum knew how to have fun and how to ensure that those around him had fun, as well. We didn't know what happened to him in the end, but we’re sure to see him in another movie.

Lastly, there was Korg. He was our favorite character, which said a lot, since star Chris Hemsworth was phenomenal in Thor: Ragnarok. But Korg was great, no small thanks to Waititi's genius in pairing that rock-like body with a ridiculous voice and dumb lines.

We should note that the movie’s characters were adaptations of comic book characters. But they certainly worked well in the film!
