And whos this purple weirdo?
"And who's this purple weirdo?"

This Comic-Con reel hit over the weekend, and it's just delightful.

It's delightful because it's from Taika Waititi, the director behind What We Do in the Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople—and the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, which this is an excellent ad for. In the space of only a few movies, Waititi's become one of my favorite directors: funny and smart and earnest, his films feel like nothing else out there in the best possible way. Now Marvel's giving him millions and millions of dollars (and "enjoyer of life and tastes and smells" Jeff Goldblum) to make a movie where Hulk and Thor hang out? YES PLEASE

If you haven't seen Hunt for the Wilderpeople by now, you are betraying yourself and humiliating your descendants. Here's Ned's review; here are its showtimes.
