The Jojo Rabbit filmmaker reflected on some of his most prominent projects in a new video interview with Entertainment Weekly, and discussed his memories of directing Thor: Ragnarok in 2017.Â
"That really propelled me into the nerdosphere, if you will," he remembered of the film. "I was living a really lovely, peaceful life, and as soon as I did this, well boy, did the nerds come for me. They said, 'This guy's gonna ruin this. He's gonna ruin Thor!'"
Waititi didn't think the movie could have done much damage to the god of thunder's standing among fans, as 2013's Thor: The Dark World was widely regarded among fans as one of the least successful Marvel Cinematic Universe films. "It's like, 'What, you mean again?'" he recalled. "And they were like, 'He's gonna ruin this for everyone, Thor's so cool!' And I said to them on Twitter — before I left Twitter — I said, 'You don't know what you want until I give it to you.'"
The Hunt for the Wilderpeople director didn't have much to say about his subsequent Thor movie, 2022's Love and Thunder. "Look how jacked Chris got," he said, pointing at the poster. "One of my favorite things about this is that I so love Natalie [Portman]. Also, Christian Bale. I mean, it's Christian Bale. Also, Guns N' Roses, a lot of the songs. I did meet Axl Rose once, actually. He had a lot of stories to tell, which I will not share."
4 felt lazy like it was made for D . Cheap costumes and worse CGI than 3, plus an obviously (badly) improvised script. I had a hard time believing the characters even cared what was happening (except Jane Foster).
Thor 2 had good costumes, set design, and cinematography. It had a proper script, even if it was poorly paced and the human storyline was awkward. But it also had great moments with Frigga, Loki etc and respected the audience.

Ragnarok was one of those films I enjoyed while simultaneously not liking the direction. I loved the blend of sci-fi and fantasy about Thor, and Ragnarok kinda peeled that away. But it was still a solid entry.
Edit: the dude who replied to me is harassing my account for an internet argument days ago where I literally didn’t even disagree with him in the first place.
