Taika Waititi’s latest comments about Thor and joining the Marvel franchise have stirred major controversy.Waititi appeared on the SmartLess podcast, starring Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. In more graphic terms, Waititi was asked how it felt to be a Marvel crony for so many years, especially given the director’s vastly differing perspective on filmmaking. “You know what? I had no interest in doing one of those films,” Waititi said. “It wasn’t on my whole plan for my career as an auteur. But I was poor, and I’d just had a second child, and I thought, ‘You know what, this would be a great opportunity to feed these children.’ So then they called, and they said, ‘Do you want to do this? And Thor… let’s face it — it was probably the least popular franchise. I never read Thor comics when I was a kid.”Despite Waititi’s negative impression of Thor at the time, Marvel apparently wasn’t that worried. “I think there was no place left for them to go with that,” Waititi said. “It felt like… I thought, ‘Well, they’ve called me in, this is really the bottom of the barrel.” He praised Kevin Feige for “taking great swings” at different directors while still being able to keep all these different styles in line, maintaining the Marvel trademark style. He also agreed that despite Marvel fans “hating” that he landed the job, he had a great experience overall.
