This is not funny, it is disrespectful and utterly inappropriate for the film’s director and, by extension, the visual effects team publicly insults the work of an underpaid, unorganized and overworked section of the cinema. https://t.co/rPgeB3aCkN

A chaotic style on and off the screen

It is not news that Taika Waititi, known for his shrewd and daring humor, jokes about this or that aspect of cinema or even his own films, as is the case. He recently referred to the scene where Hemsworth appears naked in the film to say so “train so hard you have to teach it”. He also drew teasing comments when he revealed that, by offering him a role in his next film, he hadn’t remembered Portman appearing in the “Star Wars” prequels. And, finally, he announced that he was “shocked” that “Stranger Things” had taken him away from playing Kate Bush’s song “Running Up That Hill”. What is clear is this Waititi does not change his way of being while directing, conveying all his sense of humor and spontaneity within the film. However, and as we’re starting to see, not everyone seems to like her.
