Everything is “fan fiction” until somebody buys it. Never quit never quitting.
Dont you have a ski slope to go down comedically? 🤣🤣🤣 love ya homer
was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me).
I’ve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my habits - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT. After a really bad depression phase I started to believe I couldn’t change and I’d feel that horrible forever.
Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up.
Mediocre isn't the right word honey, REALISTIC is what you mean. If your expectations are high (Im supposed to be doing 100 pullups an hour), then the expectations are the problem, not your body.
@@cat.batshon I meant mediocre. In the sense of if I were trying to make everything monumental, if I believed that everything I did was important, then I wouldn’t get anything done. I wouldn’t know how to do anything. I believe in mistakes and errors and not looking ‘good’. This is because, to practice mediocrity is also to practice consistency. You must never allow yourself only to be mediocre once. You have to try, as hard as you can, to be mediocre constantly. That’s just me tho.
I have always felt so insecure around other film-pursuers. They seemed to have it all figured out: “I got my first camera when I was 10 and I’ve always wrote little skits and stuff”. But I was a kid who was always dipping my toes and going too and from different things, never really claiming a specific hobby. I don’t know a lot about famous filmmakers other than the films and tv shows I love. But seeing that my all time favorite filmmaker has had the same experience makes me immensely happy!!!!
I like his philosophy. I'm not worried how Thor 4 was. This man is still a creative genius
bruh im literally in the middle of watching thor right now! and I paused to watch this and whole time this is the man responsible. this algorithm stuff is getting out of control.
Been Rapping my whole life and just started making beats in my 30's! needed to hear this one. thanks!
Same!
I need this one. Because I feel like I've wasted so much time. It's never to late!
This channel and video are incredibly inspiring, I love Taika’s approach to filmmaking I don’t know what we would do without his art, he’s right we do need the lightness in life sometimes
Just taken up Muay Thai at 24 after being into martial arts since 12 years old, I’ve always wanted to start but put it off year after year
So glad I started, I left it longer than I should have but the most important thing is that I did it
I just started art school at 32 it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do but listening to family I never did. This is what I’m supposed to be doing I know that. You are never to old to start
I took Muay Thai back in 2019 to 2020 and I learned SOOO much about my body, my balance improved, and more confident with defending myself against predatory behavior.
The act of training in itself is amazing. Very happy for you mate 💪
I really like how you preview pieces of your clips at the beginning. It feels like getting a trailer before the main video so I can get my mind in the zone of what this guy’s gonna be talking about. Also the advice lands way harder when I hear it twice.
I love this video so much. I have so much gratitude now to really be pursuing my art now because I had the chance to gain so much material over the span of 20 years with jobs, relationships just simply being a human. I love that perspective.
Love this channel, thank you for putting these videos together ❤
thank you for this content, means a lot
Loved this. My favorite director
I started producing music at 25 and this makes me feel better haha
Your channel is amazing and inspiring. Please don't stop!!
Thank you so much for this vid!
"Dove for seaweed?" Sign me up bro. I have some jobs that really suck I could tell you about.. I loved what we do in the shadows and the 1st Thor he did
Just when I thought youtube's algorithm had totally failed me, this channel comes along and redeems.
I spent a week in Mojave with some people I met 2 days before. Best week of my life. One of the guys told me to read this book which reminded me of The Matrix movie, but with more information. And it changed my life…so I’m paying it forward: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from time travel, dreams, death, the afterlife, reincarnation, extraterrestrials, portals and gateways, Vatican and Renaissance secrets, Ancient civilizations, Lemuria, Atlantis, Jesus, Sinai, Egyptians and the Pyramids, Hebrew letters, etc. Wild read. Best I’ve had in years.
Thanks!
@@valentina47734 you’re welcome :)
nice, applies well to music as well
Tbh many directors will get famous in feature films after 30. They will usually direct commercials, music videos, etc in their 20s.
Anecdotal experience.. it never gets easier, if it does you are doing something wrong
painfully accurate
Yes. Sometimes It is.
I forget how small dis channel is compared to what it should be
Awesome
Great creator.. last thor movie was mid but he’s still insanely talented
Eh this dude a straight weirdo in a bad way
@@leandroagonzalez3 Why is that?
Fr though. Dude makes one mediocre movie and everyone is claiming he’s a hack. It’s so annoying how fast people can turn on you just for one mistake.
Amazing cause it takes greatness to recognize greatness, if yk what I mean LMAO. 💜. We aren’t greater then people doing greater things than us forreal. We are always trying to bring art down to our level when we should be going to the artists
True. It had a good plot and based but not novel.
. . . Sigh . . . THIS video should have One Billion views.
Hopefully.
I like him, but 30s is not old these days. You’re still a kid in your 30s. A lot of directors start in their 30s and 40s. I want to hear about people who started much older than that.

Taika Waititi seems like a very good guy. Sincerely hope he picks himself back up after Thor: Love and Thunder.
I mean just look at how he gracefully approaches the reality that failure is just a part of this journey. I’m pretty sure he’s fine and working hard on his next project
What happened with thor love and thunder ?
@@LA-xc4tc panned for disgracing the legacy of thor
My nigga , i love your content 💙
You ever notice how in these "follow your passion" and "your dream will come true if you work hard" videos they never actually say anything of concrete or actual useful information. It's always the same platitudes "you can do it, just work hard, it's never too late" but never actually say what they themselves have done to achieve it. Like literally what steps they have taken to be where they are now. How 90% of them were already in the business & arts, knew the right people, nepotism, went through some insanely expensive private school etc.
If you have none of that, in what reality you just come out of nowhere to suddenly making movies, acting etc if you haven't ever done those things or studied them but it's "your dream".
Not trying to burst anyone's bubble but people also need to acknowledge the realities. After having worked in both movie and music industries, I fully realize it never had to do with "working hard" or following my dreams, but mostly about who I knew and who I am friends with. Once you somehow get in, your chances go up by 5% of getting to actually do something meaningful to you.
So, good luck!
Success comes from hard work yet most ppl need to be told that relentlessly until it sparks the fire to actually do the hard work. That’s what it was for me. Most ppl procrastinate, second guess, self doubt, fear breaking out of comfort zones. These videos will seem like platitudes till we actually do what they’re chatting about. Success is an inside job
@@Kai-ne3ks You comment implies that anyone who doesn't "make it" just didn't try hard enough and that everyone who "makes it" absolutely earned it all based on their hard work. Sadly not true in the Real World.
Agreed, but the wording isn't quite right. I guess a better way to put it is that we're in some way kinda predestined depending on where we are and what social class we're in.
Also luck is the biggest thing that they all don't mention, but i guess hard work in continuing to create things increases chances of striking gold
@@zaymax_7 You've worded that very well.
its never too late if ur still relatively healthy
Exactly. If you’re not, forget about it
What do u consider relatively healthy?
Yep. It’s hard to create anything when you’re barely functioning on a day to day level.
🌋
Maybe if you don't care about money and/or retirement it's never too late. For the majority of us, it is too late.
“The world needs stupid shit.” The world needed Thor 4.
I do remember Taika. The guy who married Rita, right ? I feel like a decade ago somehow. Also one more thing. I wish he was American. Personally I'm not good at Non-American accent.
Hey can you do Rick Rubin at some stage please - fascinating guy
I was an extra on the TV show he mentioned. It was called "The Strip" and it was crap!
Lol this comment is worth gold! He always tries to hide the name
What do I do to find a passion?
I am trying to put together the one biggest mess of my life the time line of my life a life fragmented by memory lose from being raped at 8 . I am still at 45 plugged by flashbacks so ya I want to write a book about a mess of a life others made for me then handed it to me and said you can have this mess here is your life make something out of that . I am so lost on how to fix that issue . I have even flipped threw my memories of my life like photographs and it works but it is scary in my head man .
Taika has had a charmed run...doing stupid shit...not everyone could get away with that...and I think not giving a f*** helped him....who knows it might work for you too...
Makes me wonder what was going when made the USA version of the Inbetweeners.
I should have watched this with Christmas carols playing in the background.
I love this guys name and his look.
Jojo rabbit and that other movie with the fat new Zealand kid are so good.
yeah, unless you're a vfx artist and you want to have reasonable working hours and have your work be respected.
It's a shame. He has genuinely great and funny advice here and I like most of his stuff but after that vanity fair interview I cannot see him in a good light anymore.
he follows his own advice, his films are lame, he is winning
30s? That's late? Ouch.
His passion is ruining your mythos
His passion was ruining thor, mission accomplished
So true! He totally changed his trajectory mid flight. He went from making a decent Thor film to phoning the next one in. We celebrate a talentless buffoon.
It’s also never too late to quit taika
Nice message- but back to being a stripper after Love and Thunder
It's too late to undo Thor love and thunder.
You're still a kid of 47 ~
Time to get away from the MCU Taika! Probably already too late, but hopefully your soul is intact.
It’s funny cause he made Thor 4 with no passion
you’re passion for
ruining movies?
Is his passion fucking up franchises? Cuz he's great at that
Yeah, and it's never too late to go on a full on ego trip, and direct a terrible Thor movie.
Last Thor movie was hot garbage.
I enjoyed it was entertaining too me 🤷
