I'm torn, because while I absolutely loved this movie, I would love to see a more fantasy-centric, epic Thor film. That said, I'm not going to complain because I didn't get what I envisioned for the character.
In another interview, Taika mentions how Flash Gordon was his favorite "super-hero" movie and was an inspiration to do Thor: Ragnarok. He goes on to say that if Freddie Mercury were still alive, he would have asked Queen to provide the music. He also said that the production design, with its vivid colours, was another thing that he drew upon for inspiration.
So funny and the host and crowd are giving him nothing. And yet that makes him funnier. Like no one can keep up and he just enjoys it. One of my favourite interviews ever.
OMG he's hilarious and he's not trying that hard to be;... makes you appreciate someone who is thrilled to be making a movie and loving it unlike other directors who are so pretentious and so serious about their movies as if they were written by God himself.
"I love the title of the movie, but I'm not a big pun fan." "This conversation has taken a disastrous turn." Preach, Taika! The look of utter disappointment on his face is priceless.
Taika's hilarious & bonkers, as always. 😂 Thoroughly enjoyed the movie! Definitely the most entertaining Thor movie so far. And Korg was very lovable & funny. So thank you and lots & lots of kudos to you, Mr. Waititi! You did great!
This man made one of the MCU's best and most different movies. Thor Ragnarok was funny, emotional, epic, all rolled into one. Every actor gave their best, and it shows. Chris Hemsworth, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Tessa Thomson, Jeff Goldblum and Taika Watiti were all epic. It was one of the funniest films I have seen and has some of the best action in a superhero movie. The scene on *SPOILER* *SPOILER* The bridge, when Thor showed his full power, and jumped into battle to the epic guitar riff of Immigrant Song brought tear to my eyes and gave me goosebumps.
It wasn't a complete comedy.... There were loads of serious moments. And just because something is funny doesn't mean it's bad. Unless your a depressed Emo.
Just finished watching Thor and it’s very fun, action and hilarious story telling. I knew right away the character that the director played was from New Zealand 🇳🇿 because of his accent! Much respect to the Director to bring Aussies and Kiwis unto his staff! Great Movie!
Taika Waititi is a freaking genius! This interviewer doesn’t get him at all. The interview was painful! Let’s just listen to Taika talk about whatever he wants.
I was concerned about the same then i realized is the same thing that happens at the comic con panels that are recorded, the audience doesn't have a microphone so you can barely hear them.
35:40 thank you last question guy for asking about Bruce/Hulk!!Ugh. The interviewer praised Ruffalo, then cut off Taika talking about Ruffalo right at the end. I want to hear more about Mark.
Have watched so many Taika interviews since seeing Thor.. never get tired of his humour... breath of fresh air into the MCU lineup. Proud to be a kiwi :)
because people in America haven't heard that accent before.... think mate.... its a massive movie, do you think people in China have ever heard it either? or even people in Brazil?
Interviewer: Hi Taika. Taika: Yeah, hey mate. I: So Taika, what was it like for you, jumping from the budget of something like Hunt for the Wilderpeople or What We Do in the Shadows to the budget of something like Thor: Ragnarok? T: Well, the big difference is obviously the catering. The food. Yeah jumps like 15 levels. In terms of food aye. Chur keep it real bro sounds like a mean feed!
Immigrant Song being used several times during an epic scenes in the movie is one of the most brilliant thing Waititi did for this movie! (Along with several other things of course. Like letting Hemsworth let loose with his comedic timing and improvised almost everything.) I absolutely loved every single minute watching Thor: Ragnarok.
I've seen almost all of his work, I was so happy to hear he got the job for Thor. Saw it yesterday and he was the absolutely right man for the job. THE funniest marvel movie
38 mins went by so fucking fast! you never see taika's sense of humour coming cause he is so spontaneous with it lool he's amazing men, i was cracking up from beginning to end.
Well he has a unique approach to comedy that is both clever and simple, I think it’s clever based on the simplicity. He was saying that in his films(taika) he tries to bring out the humor in the mundane, and this movie is so good because they didn’t try to force anything during the production. They took the most natural approach given the cast taika had to work with. Truly brilliant and this film is making money accordingly. Often times filmmakers let the pressure go to their heads and work too hard for a film that doesn’t produce good results.
I kind of can't believe that the guy who played in what we do in the shadows, looks like a Robert Downey Jr that's simultaneously younger and older, has this deep voice and directed a marvel movie
The character the director played in the movie was probably the funniest guy in the whole movie, and it also shows in real life, lol! Dude is hilarious!
BUILD Series, the best interview series imho. Not as rich in depth as Inside the Actor's Studio, but vastly superior in question quality to most other interviews.
"you bring it [the accent] to this character and its not really explained" is probably the dumbest question asked. they're aliens, why would you expect an american accent or need to justify a nz accident..
Because we're Americans, so obviously anything and everything needs to revolve around America!!! All characters are by default, American!!! Everything is by default in English!!! Yes all aliens speak English!!! Ugh. smh.
If you carry it further, there's always that question of "Why does Thor speak in Received Pronunciation?" It should either be Norwegian or, well it could be anything, he's an alien too.

That is a dead room. Taika is magic.
Would love to see Taika on Hot Ones with Sean Evans!
JFLY78 YESS
i agree!
Found the Hot Ones shill
I think its a bit late now, unless they already filmed it. They are mostly done with the press tour.
I immediately searched to see if it's real. It's not. #Hotonez
One of the funniest guys, ever. He's just so naturally comedic. How does this audience not appreciate any of it?
right? I was laughing constantly at the punchlines and the audience was quiet till like halfway through.
Yeah. He's a stitch. This audience is asleep.
Americans just don’t get New Zealand humour lol
U Pio but I'm an American??? Lol

I hadn't heard that, but when I walked out of the movie I told my wife it reminded me a lot Flash Gordon.
Flash!...Ahhhhhhh
Aww. 💗 Queen would definitely have suited this film. 😊
So funny and the host and crowd are giving him nothing. And yet that makes him funnier. Like no one can keep up and he just enjoys it. One of my favourite interviews ever.
Interviewer: "Two years on this stage." Taika: "Feels like it." F'n perfect lol!!
+kfw9257 37:02 Taika Waititi's delivery was gold.
He’s really handsome
They are at least average,nuthin to write home about.
I agree, he’s a handsome guy
Silver Fox
Us Pacific Islanders are known to have very beautiful skin
Taika is hilarious. "Jemaine was hounding me" while talking about We're Wolves.
OMG he's hilarious and he's not trying that hard to be;... makes you appreciate someone who is thrilled to be making a movie and loving it unlike other directors who are so pretentious and so serious about their movies as if they were written by God himself.

Led Zeppelin was a really good choice.

If fox and disney get along, i want him to direct fantastic 4.
Daniel Thomas no fun allowed
Man, me too. Had to hold back.
"I thought I had dad issue sexually but maybe it's mum issues."
Interviewer does instant topic change.
This guy is freaking hilarious
Bobby Drexler If you haven't already, watchhis film Hunt for the Wilderpeople. One of my favorite comedies.
What we do in the shadows is better
This is the most entertaining interview I have ever seen.
He's amazing. I hope he does more big movies, his brilliance is undeniable.
Taika: * derails every question and goes on a tangent *
Taika: can we talk about thor?
Interviewer: WE'RE TRYING
If I were an actor watching this interview I would get my agent on the phone and get them to book me a film with Taika.
He could easily KILL stand-up com! No doubt!
Good on ya Taika!..from a proud Kiwi
Komo Lee Ray same
Just finished watching Thor and it’s very fun, action and hilarious story telling. I knew right away the character that the director played was from New Zealand 🇳🇿 because of his accent! Much respect to the Director to bring Aussies and Kiwis unto his staff! Great Movie!

you couldnt be further off about the interviewer
So amazing that he took the two characters I cared about the least and made what became my favorite marvel movie
Taika's humor is lost on this audience
On the host too apparently! Nothing against him but JESUS have a sense of humour
pearls to swine really
Taika is over doing it on the humour here.
@@JasonUmbrellabird no
@@Movingmts111 He makes great movies and tv shows.
I'm loving the recognition taika is getting, he deserves it, such a talented and funny dude.
New Zealand rep
"Oh my God! The Hammah pulled you off!?"
Brandon D my favorite joke in any marvel movie
I feel weird laughing my ass off at almost everything he says and the audience is silent -.-
I know right, they make him sound stupid by literally doing nothing
EXACTLY XD
Same, although this comments section seems to be in agreement. It's that audience that should feel weird if you ask me!
I was concerned about the same then i realized is the same thing that happens at the comic con panels that are recorded, the audience doesn't have a microphone so you can barely hear them.
35:40 thank you last question guy for asking about Bruce/Hulk!!Ugh. The interviewer praised Ruffalo, then cut off Taika talking about Ruffalo right at the end. I want to hear more about Mark.
"I loved her in Rocky 18"
This guy is amazing
Tai Waititi is my spirit animal
Is the entire audience doped up on Xanex or something?! Jeezus, he's dropping comedy gold left and right and there's just vague chuckles!
This guys a fucking dumbass. Turning thor it a comedy movie. Just ruined the series with his dunbass humor
HyperGnar you were probably apart of the audience
@@HyperGnar lucky he typed it
He’s so chill, but he’s one of the best directors ever!
This man's humour is wasted on this crowd. Someone bring him another crowd.
taika: what's Bob Marley doing in the film?
interviewer: who are you most nervous to work with?
taika: Bob Marley...
Have watched so many Taika interviews since seeing Thor.. never get tired of his humour... breath of fresh air into the MCU lineup. Proud to be a kiwi :)
*Another day, another Doug...*
SpikePod , "that's what Doug would always say...ok, New Doug"
Why should it need to be explained why an alien has a New Zealand accent? Do we need to have it explained why an alien has an american accent?
Exactly
because people in America haven't heard that accent before.... think mate.... its a massive movie, do you think people in China have ever heard it either? or even people in Brazil?
@Zee Zee the point is the accent is irrelevant
ttandc I guess its because we are less well known
I think most of it was made on the Gold Coast . . . . I think.
this audience makes me so sad for Taika.... HE DESERVES THE WORLD
excuse me, we're Werewolves, not swearwolves!
Flat meeting!
This is bullshit!
Petyyyyyyr!
I want to start a petition for 'werewolves not swearwolves' to be the wolf movie title
What are you bidding on?
Interviewer: Hi Taika.
Taika: Yeah, hey mate.
I: So Taika, what was it like for you, jumping from the budget of something like Hunt for the Wilderpeople or What We Do in the Shadows to the budget of something like Thor: Ragnarok?
T: Well, the big difference is obviously the catering. The food. Yeah jumps like 15 levels. In terms of food aye.
Chur keep it real bro sounds like a mean feed!
taika losing his train of thought every two seconds is a mood for my life
Proud to be from New Zealand. GO Taika
i love the guy he's so down to earth and weird in the best way ever
Taika Waititi is so great!!!
How is the audience not cracking up?? I laughed so hard, a little pee came out.
Genesius Studios there is no audience its just one dog
Immigrant Song being used several times during an epic scenes in the movie is one of the most brilliant thing Waititi did for this movie! (Along with several other things of course. Like letting Hemsworth let loose with his comedic timing and improvised almost everything.) I absolutely loved every single minute watching Thor: Ragnarok.
His character Korg is hilarious n i just can't get enough of him
That must be the dumbest question about explaining a new zealand accent in space!!!
Steve Roberts I seriously thought it was a South African accent - and i still think it's a different accent to his actual one o.o
GelatinousPineapple this is how kiwis talk.
Yeah it's a character so a different voice to his own. It's more of a rural Maaori accent than his natural one.
100% agree ;) do we need to have it explained every time we hear an alien with an american accent?
It irks me that that question was even asked but good on Taika for having the perfect answer to counter nonsense like that!
best interview ending ever
I've seen almost all of his work, I was so happy to hear he got the job for Thor. Saw it yesterday and he was the absolutely right man for the job. THE funniest marvel movie
The audience wasn’t that keen on his humour. If he had this interview in NZ everyone would be cracking up
Amazing interview, this guy is my new favorite director now.
One of the best movies I have ever seen in my entire life. And I'm 40 so that's a lot. I love this guy so much! Thank you !!!! ♥♥♥♥
This is great, Taika is basically taking the piss. Which would be easy to do if faced with this interviewer.
What an incredibly astounding movie you've made! Lord Taika Waititi, I thank you.
This man made The God of thunder more lovable and anticipated for Infinity war.
38 mins went by so fucking fast! you never see taika's sense of humour coming cause he is so spontaneous with it lool he's amazing men, i was cracking up from beginning to end.
His Jeff Goldblum impression is amazing!!
8 months for a baby antelope
probably 14 months for male Kiwis to give birth to a baby antelope
Taika is AWESOME! Not just funny but cleverly funny too.
This audience just does not get his humor.
Maori humour is an acquired taste. I love it
because they are what we nz`s would call "DRY!" lol
Because hes not funny. And the movie was Ass Infinity War better not be a Comedy I Swear
Yishai Thau 9
Its probably a smiley crowd rather than laugh out loud peeps
so much talent in one human being.
This is without question the best interview I have ever seen

this interview is golden
What a rad guy
My crush for Taika is getting even bigger after this interview. God this man is hilarious. And handsome. Damn.
I wish Taika Waititi would be my friend for two years
He is generally a really interesting person to listen to😂
This guy is the freaking cutest, talk about personality!!!😅
the BEST jeff goldblum impression of Goldblum doing Goldblum
This man is so great. A treasure.
Taika Waititi seems like such a great guy.
Poor Taika, no one was jivin’ with his humor.
I kind of can't believe that the guy who played in what we do in the shadows, looks like a Robert Downey Jr that's simultaneously younger and older, has this deep voice and directed a marvel movie
Taika seems like a very wonderful guy to have around! 😊
The character the director played in the movie was probably the funniest guy in the whole movie, and it also shows in real life, lol! Dude is hilarious!
I love his sense of humor. He's a genius
"You didnt explain why he had that new zealand accent"
Dumb question Taika is miles ahead of this guy.
Taika is hilarious and naturally funny. "Now you didn't write the movie...." "Oh god don't rub it in!" :P
when you dont know how to do something, but you still make an attempt.. its called confidence.
Interviewer could use some improvement in asking questions...Taika carried this conversation.
was it a bad thing though?
Lgg130 interviewer not on par with taika's wit
Disagree.
Taika often overtakes interviewers, especially Americans (seriously they always struggle!). I reckon this guy has done a better job than most.
i just want to ask. where is Daryl?? i thought hes team thor?
This guy's a natural entertainer. Put him in front of the camera
11:20 Asguardian Warrior on the street....behind Taika
I was absolutely blown away by Ragnarok. Taika was perfect.
Hands down the best solo character marvel movie!!
“Why am I promoting Men in Black 3?” Not gonna lie that bit got me 😂😂😂
28:40 man did no one tell her that's a spoiler?
Taika is such a treat, can´t wait for what he does next
Where can I get more of this interview? It was amazing! I want more!

I wanna see a sequel to what we do in shadows
About the vampires not the werewolves
d interviewer is so seriuos!! and Taika is so funny. Korg was soo memorably funny and sweet
Taika is a proof that indie directors should be supported by big production companies. We need new ideas and fresh talents!
I think im in love lmfao, this guys amazing
"I loved her in Rocky 18"😂 😂 😂 😂
hahahahaha he is hilarious !!! love that mundane humor that just keeps going to the point where its funny again.
"your hat looks like it needs something on..." :DThis dude is so funny, not your typical boring hollywood director. Man who is free, funny and kind.
