【The Exotic Time Machine (1998)】

Spoiler alert: This post contains plot details for Thor: Ragnarok.

There were plenty of casualties in Thor: Ragnarok(sure,The Exotic Time Machine (1998) a whole planet exploded and Odin disappeared into a cloud of sparkles, but we're mostly still pissed about the deaths of the Warriors Three), but of all the losses our mighty hero suffered in his latest MCU outing, clearly nothingwas more painful than the destruction of his beloved hammer, Mjolnir.

Cate Blanchett's badass credentials are well-documented, but as Hela -- the antlered villainess who spends two hours chewing up every scene she's in -- she lays the smackdown on Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) within 60 seconds of meeting them, smashing Thor's near-indestructible hammer like a puff pastry and banishing our favorite bantering brothers to a trash planet so that she can conquer Asgard unimpeded.

SEE ALSO: 'Thor: Ragnarok' has two post-credits scenes. Here's what they mean.

Since you often don't know what you've got until it's gone, Thor takes the loss of Mjolnir pretty hard (theirs was arguably the OG "special relationship") and now Chris Hemsworth is paying tribute to his fallen comrade with an emotional video posted to Twitter Wednesday.

Over the course of Ragnarok, Thor eventually realizes that (much like Dumbo), the magic was inside him all along, which means that Mjolnir will probably stay broken -- but thanks to this video, the powerful weapon will live on in our memories.
