Taika Waititin ohjauksessa Thor: Ragnarok oli humoristinen, mutta ihan hyvä. Seuraava elokuva Thor: Love and Thunder oli sitten jo liian humoristinen vetäen liikaa läskiksi monien mielestä.
Ohjaaja on edelleen eri mieltä. Käsittely oli erilaista kuin sarjakuvissa, ja niin pitikin olla.
"It's an ongoing battle because I want my films to be entertaining, and I want a lot of humor in them - to poke fun not only at the idea of the Space Viking, but also to poke fun at humans. How we bumble our way through life on this planet.
The comic run is very serious, and Jane's story is especially tense. And so to try to find humor around that stuff, as well as making it an emotional story, was always going to be difficult. And we struggled with that. We wrestled with it throughout the edit, right up until we finished the film.
We did funny scenes about cancer, we did way more tragic scenes about having cancer. Some audiences really loved the humor part of it.
Some audiences really wanted it to be just like the comics. But, you know, I always say, if you want it to be exactly like the comics read the comic. You've got to change things here and there to make it a film."
