This particular scene, there were no weapons. If you try to write some of that stuff, people are just like, “I don’t get it, why is he talking like that?” It’s better just to shoot it and show them.įor a scene such as when Korg and Thor are talking about weapons, what did you go to the set with? Often people don’t understand the humor, or how good a joke could be, until they see it. I had a list of things I thought might be good in the scene, but didn’t try to put it in the script because I knew it’d have to go through five different people to be approved. Then as the film was being written and rewritten by the writer, Eric Pearson, I was also planning other jokes.
Jerry Seinfeld Likes Jokes About the Seinfeld Finale (If They’re Funny)Ĭonsidering how much improv there was, did you rehearse at all before production started? Tune in to Good One every Monday on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Listen to the episode and read an excerpt from the talk below. In the conversation, Waititi (who also voices the character of Korg in the film) talks about how he deliberately deviated from the script, ignoring what it all meant for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and intentionally leaving in moments where Chris Hemsworth broke character. This scene is the subject of this week’s episode of Good One, Vulture’s podcast about jokes and those who tell them. One day there were ridiculous-looking weapons on set that he wanted to make fun of, so that became the scene. Waititi came to the set with ideas divorced from whatever hero’s journey was supposed to be going on, opting to instead focus on silly characters and how they could create comedy.
#Thor ragnarok its my birthday movie
It’s an approach that worked both creatively - earning the highest Rotten Tomatoes score of any Marvel movie, and an “A” CinemaScore - and commercially, with the movie tallying more than $400 million worldwide at the box office in its first weekend.Ī perfect example of how Waititi made Thor: Ragnarok so funny is this scene, which in the script consisted only of expository dialogue and a little lame joke.
In a genre defined by hunk-gods competing to see who can throw the biggest, toughest punch, Waititi made one about a gentle outsider who was just trying to communicate his feelings. Even more unusual is that Waititi was able to present the movie, and the very established character, according to his own unique vision. It was surprising when Marvel announced that Taika Waititi - a filmmaker from New Zealand known for sweet, offbeat indie comedies - would be tasked with directing Thor: Ragnarok.
