Thor: Love and Thunder - Taika Waititi has a hilarious response to criticism of his comedic take on the God of Thunder

One of the biggest criticism received by Thor: Love and Thunder is its silliness and how it had a bit too much humor in it.

While fans and critics enjoyed the jokes in Thor: Ragnarok they felt that director Taika Waititi took it a bit too far in Love and Thunder.

And felt that the jokes undermined the more dramatic moments in the movie.

Despite the mixed response, the movie remains number one at the box office.

Now Waititi has responded to a fan's criticism on Twitter by posting a hilarious picture of Thor and Luke Cage in a dance-off

The image was shared when another user accused the filmmaker of turning "Thor into a moron," while another wrote: "Have you ever read Thor, he is over 1000 years old god, he wouldn't joke. Men are ants to him, both comic book Thor and Norse Thor. Gorr butchered 1000s of gods, he was a badass, we never see that, because Thor is joking. Thor cuts Gorr's head off, Jane doesn't die, no story. Dogsh*t."

While it is true that Thor does often get depicted as serious in most comics, this also changes from creator to creator.

And While many would agree that Chris Hemsworth 's performance in Avengers: End Game was the best take on the character in the MCU.

Taika Waititi's funny take on the character did breathe new life into the character, currently, the movie has grossed over 500 million dollars worldwide.

And is currently the seventh highest grossing movie of 2022.

The movie stars Chris Hemsworth, Christian Bale, Tessa Thompson, Jaimie Alexander, Taika Waititi, Russell Crowe , and Natalie Portman .

Thor: Love and Thunder is currently running in theaters.
