Taika Waititi: Tom, can I talk to you for a second?
Tom Hiddleston: Of course, go for it.
Taika: Alright so I love the whole Shakespeare villain thing you’ve been doing for Loki, but I have an idea.
Tom: Right?
Taika: Hear me out, alright? Get this. So, we do the whole narcissist thing again, but this time he’s Jeff Goldblum’s bitch.
Tom: I’m listening.
taika using led zeppelins “immigrant song” as a focal point in thor where the asgardians reflect the plot of the song as over the course of the film they develop from being the violent, murdering, gallavanting norse colonizers of old to literally becoming immigrants seeking out new lands to take refuge in based on newfound principles of peace love prosperity and empathy with thor at their helm acknowledging that his family is guilty of a horrific imperialistic dynasty and that hes responsible for making amends, albeit this time these concepts are all the more meaningful for involving a visibly multicultural cast with taika’s superb direction as a politically outspoken indigenous activist and artist
Thor Ragnarok AU where Waitit straight up made it an indie roadtrip film
“ I look at the story of Thor in terms of an indie film. It’s about a guy trying to get home because there’s someone in his house, and he’s got to sort that out. And along the way he’s got his annoying brother, a drunk chick, and some bipolar kid with him. And he’s just trying to get home. “ – Taika Waititi
Taika Waititi on a scene they cut: “"They all land on the bridge – Thor, Loki and then Hulk.“They stand for a second. Then Hulk just smashes Loki, punches him out of the frame – just like in Avengers, when Hulk did it to Thor. It was a crowd favorite, but we just had to get rid of it for time.
