”So I feel like this is the perfect time for a film like this. I feel like the film has become more important and more relevant today, which is a sad thing.” – Oscar Winner Taika Waititi in the Press Room

and that’s why they became friends

TAIKA WAITITI Best Adapted Screenplay - ‘Jojo Rabbit’ 92nd Academy Awards — February 9, 2020

Taika Waititi accepting his BAFTA by saying that it's nice to come from a colony to Britain and steal some of their gold and bring it back to where it belongs is a level of iconic behavior that is unparalleled

Taika Waititi, galaxy brain:

The problem with Ragnarok is that it wasn’t made for Thor fans, it was made for fans who hated the Thor movies. And I think it’s why it’s loved by a lot of people because the Thor movies weren’t very popular and it’s why I hate it so much. I fell in love with the Thor franchise when I watched the first one and I loved the second one as well. I was attached to these characters and their stories, even in the Avengers movies. I was really excited for Ragnarok when watching the trailers and thought it was going to be one of the best movies. But it wasn’t. It was one of the worst. I thought it was enjoyable at first (except for some scenes) but after watching it a second time is when it hit me that this movie doesn’t feel like a Thor movie. I realized that I laughed in the same way I would laugh at an snl skit. It was funny in a parody way but if you think about it it’s not funny at all. They made a mockery of the Thor franchise on purpose because people didn’t like it. They killed off important characters like they were nobody. They made jokes out of every event like nothing was serious. Every character was dumb as a doorknob even Bruce banner. Thor is not dumb, Thor is intelligent and eloquent, same with Loki. They were both reduced to idiots played off for laughs, the entirety of Asgardians were reduced to idiots, a realm of people who are supposed to be more advanced and highly intelligent. Bruce’s trauma was reduced to a joke and the Hulk was a giant baby, I cringed through every scene he spoke in. The only redeemable parts were Heindall’s scenes. If only the movie had maintained that tone it would have been a lot better. But the contrasting tones gave me whiplash. One minute Heimdall is rescuing asgardians from Hela who is killing every soldier and the next minute Thor and hulk are arguing like children. I just don’t get it.

Although the director of the movie stated that he doesn’t see Thor Ragnarok as part of the mcu so I will hold on to that and aggressively ignore this flaming garbage and I will not watch Thor 4 if it’s anything like it’s predecessor.

You nailed it. I’d add “it was made for and by those who hated the Thor movies”.

taika at marvel studios taking thor back from the russo brothers

As a fellow kiwi, can confirm korg is our biggest celebrity and leader of environmental protection

taika: here’s this neat symbolism of thor being sent down the same path of his father, shown by losing his eye and having the eyepatch, but instead he chose to be a better man than his father was. also his hammer gets destroyed because he never really needed it, it was just a channel for his powers, and he’s far more powerful without it.

russo brothers: ……………………………….. okay heres a robot eye and an axe

Reblogging for @iunia-kallistrate excellent tag commentary: 

#the russo brothers are having the joss whedon problem#joss’ shit was innovative when he started#(performative) feminism 101 on TV in Sci-fi then#was huge#but now we’re all in (actual) feminism 405 and that 101 stuff is tired#the Russo brother’s were kings of the superhero scene when the only bar they had to surpass was Whedon’s#and so they went and did social and moral conflicts 101 stories featuring white men and their sidekicks#but then we got Tiaka and Ryan Coogler#who write social and moral conflict on the graduate level and not the undergrad freshman intro level#and both of them surpassing Whedon’s so called feminism to boot#not that its hard#but you’ve got Tiaka over her writing a female character who can go toe to toe with the boys w/o it being about how sexy she is#Valkyrie is on fire but its not about them#Even the Grandmaster’s little crush is meant to show us how badass she is and not how hot she is#Then you get Ryan Coogler out her writing a fucking dissertation on intersectional feminism and the patriarchy of the diaspora#How are we supposed to go back to the Russo brothers after that#When they refuse to accept that the game has changed and try to break what was built to fit their tired concepts#the same Whedon ignored their character building in Ultron#like kids who brake their own toys because they don’t want their siblings to play
