The humor in the superheroic adventures of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is, in general, a house brand. And, if we take it into account, to say that Thor: Ragnarök (Taika Waititi 2017) perhaps should be considered the movie funniest of such a large franchise, with the two volumes of Guardians of the Galaxydirected by James Gunn (2014, 2017), after her, is not mucus of turkey.
The main reason for so much fun is who is in front: Taika Waititiwho had already given us What we do in the shadows (2014), the hilarious mockumentary on which the homonymous series available on HBO Max is based. And, of course, the lucidity of its screenwriters, Eric Pearson, Craig Kyle and Christopher L. Yost. But the New Zealand director played dirty to be able to take care of her.

I won’t let you down.” You know: sIf you want a job, you have to lie, youyou have to pretend”.
And the actress Pamela Adlon, creator of the series Better Things with Louis CK (2016-2022) and next to the director on the sofa of the CBS set, he supports his words. “Mel Brooks said, ‘Say yes to everything, even if you’re talking without a clue. You just have to say yes, and then you get to the point where you are doing it and everything works». And boy did it work. We not only had a great time with Thor: Ragnarök but has repeated in Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), pending release.
