Director Taika Waititi creates a new kind of Marvel movie
Over the years, Marvel has earned a reputation for perhaps not being the most director-friendly studio in the industry. Edgar Wright left Ant-Man after eight years on the project, due to differences in vision. Joss Whedon walked away from the Avengers franchise after finding the creative compromises on Age of Ultron too difficult. And Patty Jenkins left Thor: The Dark World for similar reasons — and then went on to direct Wonder Woman.
That sentiment fuels every facet of Ragnarok. Sakaar’s design is aggressively retro-futuristic, calling to mind Heavy Metal magazine covers , and the score from Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh drenches everything in lush, prog-rock synthesizers. And while a lot happens in the movie, characters like Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster — the entity that oversees the Sakaar gaming matches — are given the space to hang out and just be weird.
