Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi responds to criticism about the new MCU movie's comedic tone with a hilarious comic book panel. Waititi returned to direct the fourth Thor film after his hugely successful Thor: Ragnarok in 2017. The film reunites Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman)- now the Mighty Thor — as they team up with Korg (Waititi) and Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) to fight Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale). While Love and Thunder has already amassed over $700 million worldwide, the film has been receiving mixed reviews.
One of the most divisive elements for viewers of Thor: Love and Thunder is the film's humor. While Waititi managed to reinvigorate Thor by adding more comedy to Ragnarok, its sequel doubles down with even more zany jokes. Plenty of viewers enjoyed the new movie's light-hearted approach, but some criticized the more comedic tone as being excessive. As a result, debates over Thor 4's comedy have erupted among Marvel fans all over the internet.

Waititi responded to one such argument in a recent Twitter post. This debate began when Twitter user @cubichy criticized Waititi's approach to Love and Thunder, saying the director turned Thor into «a moron» and«a buffoon» because the Norse god of thunder wouldn't crack jokes. Another user with the handle @HwjwhJeh defended the movie with a hilarious comic book panel captioned, "Dawg he had a dance-off with Luke Cage. Stop acting like Thor can only be one thing." Waititi added his seal of approval to @HwjwhJeh's tweet, saying, "Lol YES." Check out Waititi's response below:
