Disclaimer: there is a lot to remember and describe, so specific details like numbers, phrases or orders of events may be wrong. Especially in later scenes on Asgard where it gets more complicated.
The Muspelheim Interrogation
We open with Thor in a cage with a skeleton. He narrates and implies he doesnt even know how long hes been stuck there. He is freed and has a one-on-one with Surtur sitting on his throne while Thor kind of dangles in the air on his chain. The scene is mostly comedic, Thor jokes around, Surtur is very serious about Ragnarok.
Thor versus a thousand red shirts
Thor has an epic fight with Surtur and his minions. Surtur is pretty imposing but this isnt his final form, so Thor overpowers and beheads him (the interrogation tought him Surturs crown is the key to Ragnarok). Thor uses Mjolnir in an epic action sequence against an army of demons, possibly the best Mjolnir fight scene yet. Thor calls for Heimdall to open the Bifrost, but nothing happens.
Skurges new office
Skurge is boasting to some female company about his new job guarding the Bifrost. He shows them his stash of stuff hes collected, among them a pair of black machine guns. Eventually Skurge figures out Thor needs help, so he opens the Bifrost for him. The Bifrost etches the Thor Ragnarok logo into the ground on Muspelheim, transports Thor and cuts off a dragons head who was chasing him mid-flight. The dragons head engulfs the girls in guts, bumps into the pedestal. Thor is surprised to see Skurge and flies off to the city. Skurge is upset because hes supposed to announce Thors arrival.
Loki, the greatest hero who ever was
Thor encounters a grand statue of Loki and a crowd of fancy Asgardian people watching a terrible play about the events of Thor 2. Loki is played by Matt Damon, is easily recognizable and overacts. Sam Neill may be Odin in this scene. Loki is still acting as if hes Odin and is thoroughly enjoying the performance as they get to Lokis sacrifice. Thor seems somewhat baffled and once Odin spots him in the audience, Loki breaks character for a second and knows his fun is over. Thor talks with Odin and implies he needs to end the charade before Thor does it for him. Loki refuses, so Thor grabs fake Odin, throes his hammer away and calls it back, saying itll go through anything, including Lokis face. Loki gives up and reveals himself, the crowd is shocked. Eventually Skurge makes it to the city and tries to announce Thor has returned. Loki vents a bit at Skurge. Thor parks Mjolnir on Lokis chest and they have a short but good talk.
A Strange encounter
In a quick edit Loki and Thor take the Bifrost towards Earth. Loki is now wearing a fancy black suit and Thor wears some casual attire as to not attract attention, Mjolnir is disguised as an umbrella. It doesnt seem to work as two Earth girls immediately run up to Thor for a selfie. Thor relishes it, Loki seems slightly disgusted. Jane is mentioned, but Thor says something about a break up and brushes it off. Thor and Loki are standing before a demolished building, seemingly an old peoples home. Loki swears this is where he left Odin. Before Thor and Loki get a chance to look around, a portal appears beneath Loki and he disappears. Thor is transported to the office of Dr. Strange. Strange has a dramatic entrance and is noticeably more cocky than before, very confident of his magical abilities. He interrogates Thor while he offers him a drink. Strange seems very busy and doesnt want more problems on Earth, like Loki visiting. Thor assures him they are just here to find Odin and return to Asgard. Strange turns more friendly and checks some books to help out Thor. He constantly teleports as he needs to, and brings Thor with him who has a terrible time trying to finish his drink as it sloshes around every time. Eventually Strange works it out and opens a portal to Odins location. Thor says he needs Loki and his hammer back. Loki falls out of a portal screaming, hes very pissed and notes hes been falling for 30 minutes. He immediately grabs his daggers and lunges at Dr. Strange, who casually portals Loki and Thor away with a wave of his hand.
Odins goodbye
Odin is at a grassy field atop a cliff, overlooking a sea/ocean. Thor and Loki try to talk to him, but its obvious there is something wrong with him. It is implied Odin is dying because he has been away from Asgard for too long. Odin does warn them of Ragnarok, Thor notes he prevented Ragnarok, Odin says it has already begun. He informs them of Hela, who has been kept at bay by Odin, but once he disappears she will be able to appear and go to Asgard. There she will become even more powerful and unstoppable. Odin specifically tells Thor not to forget the place they are standing in right now. One of the last things Odin says, is that Hela is his firstborn and the sister of Loki and Thor. Odin says his goodbye and disappears. Thor is upset at Loki being the cause of all this and having indirectly caused Odin to die. It also causes Thor to spark a bit of lightning, something stirs within him.
Helas return
Very quick after, Hela appears through a sort of portal. She notes Odin is probably already gone, and that she would have liked to see the old fool die. Thor and Loki are ready to fight her, but as Thor uses Mjolnir, Hela stops it. Thor reacts by saying its impossible. Hela says he has no idea and easily destroys Mjolnir. This makes a big impression on Thor and Loki. While Thor tries to think of something and fight her, Loki initiates the escape through the Bifrost. Loki and Thor fight Hela while traveling through the Bifrost. First Hela knocks Loki out of the Bifrost, then Thor. She continues on towards Asgard. There she makes short work of Volstagg and Fandral by throwing daggers through their hearts. Skurge recognizes he is screwed, so he takes a submissive pose. Hela seems happy that his will to survive takes over, and urges him to follow her. He somewhat reluctantly does so.
**********************************************************************************
Until this point the narrative has been quite straight forward. From here the narrative switches regularly between Helas experiences on Asgard and Thors experiences on Sakaar. As Im not sure of the exact sequence, Im separating them in two lists of events. Asgard has fewer scenes, so Im starting with those.
**********************************************************************************
Hoguns last stand
Hela is disappointed she is met with resistance instead of being embraced. An army of Asgardian soldiers are blocking the entrance of the city, with Hogun as the leader. Hela tries to talk to them, shes charismatic, resentful and unimpressed by the aggressive stand the soldiers take. She caresses her hair as her signature helmet forms and engages the army. Her fighting style is somewhat acrobatic, she can form daggers and other sharp objects out of nowhere, or from underneath her cloak. She pretty much fires hundreds of them while jumping around and evading enemies, she seems to never miss and hits people in the head or heart. She doesnt waste any time. Until she gets to Hogun, who has some last few words before she skewers him. Skurge just kind of stands there.
Helas warlord
As Hela and Skurge walk the halls of Asgard, she explains the murals are all lies. Odin used to be a savage ruler, conquering planets and realms, with Hela being his warlord. She notes Odin made her that way but grew a conscience and wanted to stop, whilst Hela wished to conquer everything there was. She thinks Odin is a hypocritical bastard, because all the gold and riches of Asgard are built from war, and that they cant act like nothing of it ever happened. She throes daggers to the ceiling and as the peaceful murals crumble, underneath one appears of Odin and Hela as conquerers. Hela offers Skurge the position of being her warlord, she gifts him a big axe she creates.
Hela and the Infinity Gauntlet
Hela walks into the vault and isnt impressed by any of the artifacts. She knocks over the Infinity Gauntlet, noting its not the real one. She does note the Tesseract is not bad. But the only artifact she really has respect for, is the Eternal Flame. She takes a bit of it and walks back to the throne room/main hall. She destroys the floor and says underneath Odin has hidden the army that has won all his battles. She jumps down and is sad to see Fenrir and an army of elite soldiers, rotting away. In a sweep of green fire they are revived, the soldiers remain skeletons with a green glow, Fenrir grows back his fur looks mostly normal.
Heimdalls resistance
A few of the elite undead soldiers are seen moving through the forest, hunting down Asgardian civilians. They are taken down by Heimdall, who is gathering as many survivors as he can to hide them at a big vault near the city. At some point Thor has a moment of weakness and tries to make a connection with Heimdall, asking if he is out there. Heimdall shares his vision with Thor and shows him the refugees on Asgard, and tells him of Helas actions, trying to rule Asgard.
Skurge the executioner
Hela tries to get a crowd of captured Asgardians to tell her where the people are hiding. They wont budge, so she forces Skurge to take an innocent girl and execute her. Skurge seems bothered by the fact that Hela has no problem killing Asgardians, even when they arent soldiers. The girl is saved by the crowd and Hela is led to the vault, which seems to be empty. Heimdall has moved the Asgardian people and is trying to escape Asgard.
