Yes, the song appears in the opening scene, but it’s the Led Zeppelin band’s return in the finale that really takes the song off a spot on this list. Thor regains his magic, Loki does Loki’s things, Valkyrie shows up and kicks ass with fireworks in the background, and Hulk fights Fenrir? Pure cinema. It’s a Renaissance painting, but with Marvel characters and disgusting battle choreography and half-decent CGI (sometimes it is). The song is hard work, but Taika Waititi is even harder.
