The Thor films have long hinted at a deeper comedic tone than many other Marvel franchises, and Waititi’s involvement in Ragnarok (coupled with his comfort with improv on his sets) could allow scenes like the one shared between Thor, Loki, and these fangirls to make Thor: Ragnarok into one of Marvel’s funniest movies yet.
Aside from the narrative significance of the sequence, the overall tone of the scene described by Tom Hiddleston seems to highlight the tonal strengths that Taika Waititi should bring to Thor: Ragnarok.
Primarily known for indies like What We Do in The Shadows and Hunt For the Wilderpeople before Marvel Studios hired him for this film, Waititi has a critical sense of humor that permeates his work.
