“I’ll ruin your mythos in a minute, baby. ”That’s how Taika Waititi dismissed a fan who was worried about the direction of Thor: Love and Thunder. Years later, his latest film, Klara and the Sun, opened to roughly $700,000 domestically and barely registered with audiences despite starring Jenna Ortega. The fall has been a long time coming. In this video we look at how Waititi went from New Zealand comedy darling (What We Do in the Shadows, Hunt for the Wilderpeople) to Marvel golden boy (Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit) – and then how that goodwill evaporated. We cover the infamous tweet, the mixed-to-negative audience reaction to Love and Thunder, the projects that quietly disappeared (Star Wars, The Incal, the Judge Dredd pitch), and why Klara and the Sun’s collapse feels less like bad luck and more like the logical endpoint of alienating the people who used to show up for his movies.
