Thor: Ragnarok was an exhilarating and entertaining film, showcasing our cherished superheroes in a novel perspective. A significant segment of the film’s narrative unfolds on Sakaar, a remote planet where soldiers are apprehended and compelled to engage in gladiatorial contests for the amusement of the Grandmaster.
Remarkably, Hulk arrived there and emerged as the unbeaten champion of the Grandmaster’s gladiatorial contests during his tenure. Let us examine how Hulk arrived in Sakaar in ‘Thor: Ragnarok.’
The Hulk arrived on Sakaar as a result of events that occurred at the conclusion of Avengers: Age of Ultron. In his gigantic size, Hulk leaps into a flying Quinjet to eliminate Ultron, who is present onboard. Subsequently, he disabled communications to evade detection by his colleagues.
The other Avengers remain unaware of Hulk’s location until ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ reveals that he has arrived on the remote world of Sakaar. His spacecraft is located by a wormhole designated as the “Devil’s Anus,” which ensnares it and transports it to Sakaar.
Ultron was arguably the most formidable adversary the Avengers encountered before to Thanos. Ultron had been rogue and elevated a substantial portion of Sokovia into the atmosphere with the aim of descending it back to Earth to create an extinction-level catastrophe.
The Avengers successfully thwarted his attempt to annihilate the Earth, but with some casualties incurred in the process. Hulk boarded the Quinjet and chose to enter self-imposed exile, resulting in his inadvertent arrival on Sakaar. Let us examine in detail the sequence of events.
Hulk and Thor Are Positioned as Rivals in the Contest of Champions
While the Avengers attempted to stop Ultron, Hulk leaped into one of the airborne Quinjets occupied by Ultron. He ejected Ultron from the Quinjet, which continued to fly autonomously. Following the Avengers’ accomplishment, Black Widow communicated with the Quinjet containing Hulk, requesting that he return the aircraft and land safely.
Unable to locate Hulk’s Quinjet in stealth mode, Natasha attempted to guide Hulk’s actions. Nevertheless, Hulk deliberately disabled the communication and observed serenely as the Quinjet transported him into the unknown.
It might be contended that Hulk was aware of his actions. The most plausible scenario is that Hulk intentionally disabled the communications to retreat to an undisclosed location.
In this manner, he would attain tranquility, far from those who perceive only monstrosity in him. It is conceivable that Hulk’s actions were a means of safeguarding individuals from his own inherently destructive tendencies.
The precise location of the Hulk remained undisclosed until the occurrences in ‘Thor: Ragnarok.’ The film’s narrative centers on Thor, the deity of thunder, as he endeavors to avert Ragnarok, the foretold annihilation of his homeland, Asgard.
Thor attempted to escape Hela, resulting in his fall from the Bifrost and his arrival on Sakaar. Valkyrie, employed as a bounty hunter for the Grandmaster, apprehended Thor, perceiving him as a viable challenger, and transported him to the Grandmaster’s arena to compete as a gladiator.
Thor was constrained by an inhibitor disk, compelling him to engage in the Contest of Champions, a gladiatorial contest in which combatants from the corners of the cosmos fight for their survival.
Prior to entering the arena, he received warnings from Korg and others that the champion he was about to confront was formidable. Upon entering the arena for his fight, Thor saw that his opponent was the Hulk, the reigning champion.
Hulk has remained the unvanquished champion of the Grandmaster’s gladiatorial contests since his arrival in Sakaar, and he is widely adored there. It was a gratifying transformation for Hulk, given that he was perceived as a menace and instilled terror in others on Earth. Nonetheless, Thor was pleased to discover that Hulk was his adversary, supposing that Hulk would acknowledge him, therefore obviating the necessity for combat. However, he was mistaken.
The two delivered an extraordinary contest for the full audience in the arena. Thor nearly vanquished Hulk; however, the Grandmaster intervened by electrocuting Thor.
What Led Hulk to Sakaar in ‘Thor: Ragnarok’?
After the end of their conflict, Thor and Hulk found themselves in the same chamber. Hulk was now capable of verbal communication even in his monstrous form, prompting a dialogue between the two.
Thor inquired about Hulk’s arrival on Sakaar, to which Hulk responded that he had come via the Quinjet. Thor intended to utilize the Quinjet to flee from Sakaar and return to Asgard, wishing to accompany Hulk. However, Hulk desired to remain on Sakaar.
Upon entering the Quinjet, the Hulk encountered Natasha’s recorded message, prompting his transformation back into Bruce Banner after two years in Hulk form. Banner experienced confusion and disorientation yet successfully accessed the Quinjet’s ship log.
The record suggests that the Quinjet, engineered for interstellar travel, inadvertently found itself in space with the Hulk aboard. Ultimately, Hulk’s spacecraft was located by a wormhole designated as the “Devil’s Anus,” which ensnared the Quinjet and sent it to Sakaar.
Banner and Hulk ultimately established a team named ‘Revengers’ and fled from Sakaar. They encountered Hela on Asgard alongside Valkyrie, Loki, and Korg. They successfully vanquished Hela by unleashing Surtur, a formidable fire demon who obliterated both Asgard and Hela in the process.
In conclusion, Hulk inadvertently arrived on Sakaar after traversing space in a Quinjet following the confrontation with Ultron in Sokovia. The Quinjet was transported via a wormhole, presumably the “Devil’s Anus,” and subsequently crashed on Sakaar.
Despite Hulk and ‘The Revengers’ departing from Sakaar, Hulk is expected to return to the planet in a few years. During his two-year tenure on Sakaar, Hulk fathered a son named Skaar, who is subsequently presented in the television series She-Hulk.
Consequently, we will undoubtedly receive further elucidation of Hulk’s experiences in Sakaar in forthcoming Marvel endeavors.
