“Get help!” It’s the kind of line that sounds like it came from a quirky sitcom until Thor hurls Loki like a ragdoll at a bunch of unsuspecting guards. But this wild, chaotic moment from Thor: Ragnarok wasn’t even in the script, and that’s exactly what made it stick, as per CBR. The scene plays out in seconds, but it captures something fans had been waiting years to see: real sibling energy. Not just the Shakespearean drama or the betrayal arcs — actual, childish antics.
Turns out, director Taika Waititi didn’t plan it in detail. Instead, he sparked it with a command that let Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston run wild. He pitched it as something the brothers might’ve made up as kids, no detailed dialogue, and no heavy setup. Just, “It would be really fun if you came into the room and pretended it was a game you used to play as kids,” Waititi suggested. The rest was all improvisation.
And it shows not in a bad way but in a “this-feels-way-too-natural” kind of way. That’s probably why fans latched onto it. It’s not Thor the god and Loki the villain in that moment, it’s two brothers stuck in an elevator with too much shared history. The kind of absurd game only siblings would know. Hiddleston later confirmed it: “It all came from Taika Waititi’s brilliant and inventive imagination,” he said, which says a lot about how Ragnarok hit the right tone.

Improvisation was the heartbeat of Thor: Ragnarok, a bold move considering Marvel’s tightly-woven universe. Big-budget superhero flicks usually don’t leave room for that kind of play. But Waititi’s instinct to ditch the over-serious tone worked. He gave Hemsworth and Hiddleston room to breathe, and they filled that space with banter, chaos, and sibling ridiculousness that fans didn’t know they needed.
It’s not just about laughs. “Get Help” works because it’s layered with history. It tells you who these brothers are in a flash, Thor’s brute-force solutions and Loki’s eternal suffering (and eye-rolling). It makes you wonder what else they got up to as kids. It hints at the years before betrayal, before wars, before thrones.
In a film stacked with massive action set pieces and cosmic stakes, a split-second bit of improv about two brothers pulling a dumb trick stands out. Get Help isn’t just fan-favorite because it’s funny. It’s because, for once, the MCU let its characters be ridiculous, vulnerable, and real—all at once.
