"You Get The Full Hems' Worth" - Taika Waititi On Seeing Thor's Rear End In "Thor: Love and Thunder"

I didn't know I wanted Thor to be a slapstick comedy, but Taika was certainly right about that with Ragnarok. It just works, and Hemsworth proved to a surprisingly adept comedic actor whose talents were wasted in the first two Thor movies.

@@goranmilic442 You're right. I think maybe after we spend some thousands of years under a matriarchy where men are viewed as lesser beings, systematically sexually victimized, physically weakened, and oppressed like women have been historically so far, people will be more inclined to think of it the same way. Until then, men are in a privileged position in society and do not have to live in constant fear of the kind that women do, so it's not the same thing.

[@goranmilic442]

@@Tuilelen What you're saying is terrible. Men and women should be equal. Right here, right now. We can't spend thousands of years under matriarchy, because people only live 80 years.

Taika is clearly a creative comedian first and foremost. Really reminds me of a chirpy fella I went to school with in Christchurch, himself now a creative and the drummer of No Broadcast. You can see he has an unstructured, responsive and self-assured approach to the interview. He's not there with any talking points, it's a conversation for the benefit of the crowd.

[@leefi1]

I am lucky enough to have spent some weeks in New Zealand. I am not at all surprised that that such a beautiful place has wonderful people. I found them to be warm, witty and open, like Taika.

[@Taurusus]

Taika, in the handful of interviews I've seen him do, gives off a real vibe of, "I'm doing this to entertain _myself_ first," which is broadcast poison so much of the time, but utterly hilarious if you're of a similar sense of humour. He seems so comfortable in his own skin, it's a joy to experience vicariously.

[@cnj67]

No, Sleipner, the eight-legged horse was bred non-inter-species by Loke (correctly) turning into an alluring mare, succesfully tempting a uniquely strong workhorse into the forrest, and he only came out of that forrest a year later, bringing little Sleipner with him. No serpent involved. Loke did that to prevent the builder who had that workhorse from finishing the wall on time, hence avoiding to have to bestow upon the builder Freya as a bride - as on other occasions, Freya was the prize routinely asked for and promised. The Gods never remembered to ask for her consent until she VERY FIRMLY did NOT give it and they had to find a way out. Next time it happened, Thor had to play the part of Freya at her wedding. Yes, I'd like to see that too. Loke never had intercourse with a snake, but with the woman Angrbotha he FATHERED a serpent, one who stretched around the whole world, the Midgaard worm. He also fathered a giant wolf, Fenris, and Hel. Oh, and according to RIck Riordan, he also gave birth to Alex Fierro. They'd be very welcome to the franchise, too.

Peter is a Kiwi. He would understand it completely...

[@Robz0182]

Im sure he would be proud lol

[@phillipridgway8317]

If you know anything about Peter Jackson's first few films, he's probably done similar escapades to save money, as they were done on very small budgets too! His very first movie was shot on weekends, with friends acting in them, and Peter making the models and special effects!

Thor: Ragnarok was brilliant, as are most things that Taika Waiititi (ditty dum ditty do) does. I'm not sure how Tom Hiddleston would feel about playing a character who had been knocked up by a horse, but with Waititi directing, I'd certainly want to see how it went.

[@honorsilverthorne7227]

Well, Loki is bi.... Why not throw a little beastiality in there too 🤷

[@hyunsungnation2333]

Tom Hiddleston is aware of the mythology he already said in an interview. I think he would surely be down for this idea

[@Jumpoable]

Well that's already done & dusted before the first Thor movie. Odin's 8-legged horse Sleipnir is the creature Loki gave birth to, then gifted to Odin... O____o

[@Котенок-рррр13]

Tom obviously wouldn't agree to play this.. Taika would just like to humiliate Loki once again with this

[@lexslate2476]

@@Котенок-рррр13 It's a major part of the mythology upon which the Marvel character of Loki is based. I suspect that Tom would find it hilarious and the real problem would be getting through a take without giggling.

I have watched Temuera Morrison's interview and he too speaks like that. And not just the accent. Tem's voices is also soft and calm, when he is not threatening the galactic scum. So i just closed my eyes and imagined Korg doing that interview.

Some 'Lovin' Thunder' will leave you Thor, alright.

It's always important to oil your handle to keep things in good condition.

Mr. Waititi would be a wonderful fit to work with Neil Gaiman. Love the whimsy!

[@neotdrum]

I’ve been hoping to see him on the show for AGES…! Finally! Took you some time; you usually get together with the people of my ✨gusto✨ pretty early on 😉

[@RazgrizAce67]

3:18 THIS, THIS, THIS, 100% THIS is what I want from a Taika Waititi film. 😁😁😁😁

[@late8641]

I love his name. "Taika" means magic in my language (Finnish), and I think that is very fitting. There's something mystical and enchanting about him.

[@alexanderlinderson2655]

Oh no xD The cringe at the end like "I kind of regret over-sharing". He seems like one of the best dudes! National treasure

[@lizbmusic11]

So proud of our Taika! Kia ora from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@lazaromurad322]

I love his chiseled jaw and his humor he is so attractive

[@hereigoagain5050]

Loved "What We Do in the Shadows."

[@RYMAN1321]

Definitely gonna check the film out, been looking forward to it and while I may be in the minority I’m glad to see Jane again

[@eponack]

I had fears that we would never have a person as genuinely funny as Robin Williams. This man gives me hope.

[@LindaC616]

Two different levels of chaotic hu.or

[@eponack]

@@LindaC616 Yes, very different, but the authenticity oozes.

[@sanokal]

As a Kiwi, I can confirm that we understand "at home Taika" just fine.

[@thestormlscoming]

Hunt for the Wilderpeople is one of the greatest movies ever

[@ehenne55]

He’s literally MADE Thor. Like I fucking adore this man 😂😂😂

[@MaybeGodwillsaveMe]

I was at a bar in Hollywood and Taika was there. No clue who he was at that time, but my friend did. We went up to him and shook his hand and I told him I liked a NZ show that he didn't even create or work on. lmao. I still feel like an idiot.

[@lililelylilly]

finally guests i care about

[@dejayz3042]

That was a great movie.. best movie of 2022 and Marvel hit it on the head again... more please
