#this isnt even a fandom or stan thing i just think hes a genuinely solid director

It makes me so incredibly mad that Thor Love and Thunder being kinda bad has made the internet think Taika Waititi is a terrible director or refer to the various corny lines that plague thr mcu as "taika lines" when like, Taika is genuinely such a fucking amazing director snd you only have to see his other movies to know that.

Like yeah Jojo Rabbit was fantastic, it was nominated for best picture for a reason but i think his earlier, more kiwi stuff is really his peak.

What we do in the shadows (the og movie) is probably one of the funniest films ive ever seen, its really well done.

Hunt for the wilderpeople is a fsntastic mix of funny and sad.

But my favorite will forever and always be Boy (2010), a movie that will never fail to make me genuinely weep. It's probably my favorite movie of all time, such a painful ride but also such a joyus one. He also plays a main character in this and gives imo his best performance by far.

Like look, besides love and thunder, all of his other films have been hits, so dont act like hes a shit director just because he had one miss.

(Also dont act like yall didnt love ragnarok, yall fucking loved ragnarok because it was great)
