joss whedon: loki tortures and murders people for fun, and, despite being the god of CHAOS, is a fascist who says things like “it’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation”

taika waititi: loki is an annoying little shit who day-drinks, puts on theater about himself, and fucks his way to the top

joss whedon: loki and thor are gods, so they always talk proper and posh and in cryptic riddles so for no reason. it makes them seem more powerful and mystical.

taiki waititi: one time when they were kids loki turned into a snake because he knows thor loves snakes and then thor went to pick up the snake and then loki turned back into himself and screamed “yueagh, it’s me!” and then he stabbed thor

Taika Waititi has a deeper understanding of Norse mythological accuracy than Joss lol

It’s because Joss Whedon looks at all mythology and religion through a Christian-atheist lens. You can see it in Buffy and even a little in Firefly too. Even when he writes about other religions and their deities and practices, it still comes back to Christianity.

He wrote Thor and Loki as modern Western Christianity would portray Jesus and the Devil as opposed to how they actually are in mythology or the comics

That…is a really good addition as to why Whedon gets Thor and Loki
wrong and why Taika did a far better job with their
characters/personalities in Ragnarok

Taika also comes from a cultural background that includes trickster gods in its oral tradition.

marvel’s tv shows would be a lot better if they would stop trying to make them super dramatic and instead made them comedies that happen to be about superheroes. like @ marvel, recast clint barton and give him superhero show with a setup similar to parks and rec or the office and i guarantee you’ll get better tv ratings.

kate: dude you’re shaking, how much coffee did you drink today

clint: i haven’t had any coffee today

[immediately cuts to clint sitting in front of the camera, drinking some coffee]

clint: this is my 27th cup

literally anyone: [talks about how clint should drink more water and take more vitamins and generally try to take better care of himself]

clint: [looks into the camera and then turns off his hearing aid]

Give Taika a Marvel-based TV series and let him go wild.

#why do i get the feeling that taika is living life the way it is meant to be lived

He basically brought his own fanfic to life

this is literally why i love taika so much he probably went “hey wouldn’t it be cool is we hired Matt Damon to be on screen to play loki in a play” and two second later he probably went “ok yep that’s what we’re doing” and he’s gigGLING while watching it happen taika is living life at its Peak and I’m so here for it

I didn’t care about the Boba Fett film. Until Phil Noto drew Takia Waititi in the armor. I’m having a lot of feelings now.

I didn’t want a Boba Fett movie until now.

I love this but literally all I could think of was that they need to title it “What We Do In The Sarlacc”

Taika Waititi labelled ‘treasonous’ for saying he isn’t proud of New Zealand

Broadcaster Duncan Garner has called Taika Waititi “treasonous” for speaking his mind on New Zealand’s environmental woes, concerning suicide rate and lack of affordable housing.

Waititi, this year’s New Zealander of the Year and director of the soon-to-be-released Thor: Ragnarok, told Marae he wasn’t proud to be a Kiwi when so many problems appeared to be ignored.

Stuff columnist Duncan Garner delivered a punchy editorial against the director on The AM Show Thursday morning. He called Waititi “treasonous” for voicing his concerns on the nation’s state of affairs.

“He was New Zealander of the year, this year 2017, so he’s an ambassador for New Zealand now … you cannot be this treasonous about your own country. You cannot say you’re not proud to be a New Zealander if you’re the New Zealander of the year,” Garner said.

Waititi said New Zealand’s waterways were “poisoned”.

“I’m not very proud of coming from a place which everyone overseas thinks is this clean, green country,” he said.

Garner argued that the criticism was wrong because he thought only some waterways were “dodgy”, not all of them. “Wrong,” Garner declared. “It’s not all poison. Some of them, some of them are pretty dodgy I agree.”

In the Marae interview, Waititi had listed a string of problems he saw with New Zealand, one of which was the state of our rivers. Garner agreed with all the other issues but still found issue with Waititi calling them out.

“He’s right on many things. Yes, we’ve got issues with our housing and mental health and depression and suicide numbers,” the journalist said. “I get all that.”

“I’ve got a problem with it, because you have to be accurate as

New Zealander of the Year, and I reckon he’s thrown New Zealand under the bus,” the former political editor concluded.

So… is he not allowed to address issues he has with the country? We all have the right to, so why is he getting all up in arms about him, just because he’s ‘New Zealander of the Year’ when he’s exercising his right to speak up about stuff lots of people, especially the tourism industry here, try to sweep under the rug in terms of environmental issues? Of course it’s completely fine for him to say that he isn’t proud of the country due to the state of it, calling out lies and issues and whatnot. Using his position in society to bring more attention to issues isn’t really throwing us under the bus in my opinion because it just shows things we can try work on to better our image so we don’t spout lies when we say stuff like ‘all our waterways are clean’. How in the world is that ‘treasonous’ to state? Shit, Pissy Baby Duncan even agrees with most of what he said, but hates that it was said… doesn’t that mean if Duncan himself said it he would have to slap that label onto himself? He fucking wouldn’t. Duncan Garner, you’re a fucking idiot.

The Thor: Ragnarok director took to Twitter this evening to ‘apologise’ for comments he made in an interview with Marae regarding New Zealand’s waterways, suicide rates and child poverty, among other things.

“I’m sorry NZ!” he tweeted. “I wasn’t thinking and spoke in haste. I forgot to mention domestic violence, sexism, homophobia, and racism. My bad!”

Waititi later followed that up with several more tweets, including one poking fun at the fact that while he also criticised New Zealand’s high rates of teen suicide, depression, child poverty and abuse, it was his description of our waterways as “poisoned” that seemed to have drawn the most ire from Garner.

Me: NZ has highest teen suicide rates, depression, child poverty/abuse, & our waterways are poisoned.

NZ: Don’t hassle our water, traitor! — Taika Waititi (@TaikaWaititi) October 19, 2017

Patriotism shouldn’t be “love it or leave it”. It should be “love it AND FIX IT”.
