Despite the fact that Thor: Love and Thunder is generating a divided reaction from fans and critics, the Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel is still getting a ton of praise for how visually captivating it is. However, it turns out that Taika Waititi and Tessa Thompson weren't that satisfied with the film's outcome, from the technical and visual side of things, at least.

On Twitter, a clip from Waititi and Thompson's recent Vanity Fair interview has gone viral and it sees the two making fun of the editing and CGI of a particular scene from Love and Thunder which according to them "doesn't look real".


What was originally intended to be a lighthearted interview would later backfire as Taika is currently drawing flak all over social media for poking fun at his post-production crew. One Twitter user even pointed out just how problematic the video is.

This comes on the heels of Marvel Studios' latest controversy involving several VFX artists who claim the company is a "horrible" client. Not the perfect timing for Taika if you'd ask me and things could only go worse from here now that fans are being exposed to what truly happens behind the scenes.

It would be safe to assume that Kevin Feige will eventually step in to address the matter and frankly speaking, it's the only way to go about things instead of ignoring the issue. They better act as soon as possible before things get blown out of proportion.

Meanwhile, Thor: Love and Thunder is screening in cinemas worldwide.
