What is the Thor Ragnarok meme?

The Thor Ragnarok meme ("You Can't Defeat Me / I Know, But He Can") is a three-panel template from Thor: Ragnarok showing Hela claiming invincibility, Thor conceding but pointing to a greater power, and Surtur destroying Asgard. It illustrates bringing in an overwhelming third party to solve a problem you cannot handle alone.

Origin & History

In Thor: Ragnarok, Thor returns to Asgard to find his sister Hela has seized the throne and proves too powerful to defeat in a straight fight. During their confrontation, Hela declares "You can't defeat me," and Thor replies "I know. But he can" - triggering the resurrection of Surtur, the fire giant destined to destroy Asgard along with Hela.

Marvel fans quickly turned the three-beat exchange into a meme template: an unbeatable antagonist, a protagonist who admits defeat, and a third force that can finish the job. It spread on Reddit and Twitter as a format for programming jokes (deleting the repo), gaming (summoning a level-100 ally), and everyday problems solved by escalating to someone with more power.
