” has finally hit theaters, but some Marvel fans still want to see more. Reports of an assembly cut that clocks in at around four hours have sparked calls of “#ReleaseTheWaititiCut” among some viewers who would like to see an extended version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe entry. Director“I’ve been thinking about director’s cuts,” Waititi told. “I watch director’s cuts of a lot of other directors. They suck. Director’s cuts are not good.

Exploring the prospect of alternate cuts of blockbuster films has become an essential practice among online fanbases in recent years, emboldened by Zack Snyder’s extended version of the DC Comics team-up “Justice League,” which saw the largely derided 2017 release reworked and elongated by reshot footage and scenes that were excluded from the original release.

Now, it’s become common practice to see fans clamor for director’s cuts of films. Some fans have called forEven though Waititi was dismissive of the possibility of a “Waititi cut” of “Thor: Love and Thunder,” the filmmaker still shared a few ideas of what his extended cut of the film would look like.

“I’d say my cut would probably have a few more jokes in there,” he explained. “There might be a couple of deleted scenes but as I always say, a scene is deleted because it’s not good enough to be in the film. I think the deleted scenes section on the DVD, not that they use them anymore, should just be a list of the scenes and no links so you can’t click on them!”

TaikaWaititi yeah, that’s some serious numbbutt. Though you’re such an awesome one (director and human), many of us would drool over the chance.

This is called damage control folks.

His movies aren´t good at any lenght so whatever.

Dude, this means you completely under used Christian Bale. You had the God Butcher shank one God. WTF are we doing?

TaikaWaititi yeah, that’s some serious numbbutt.Though you’re such an awesome one (director and human), many of us would drool over the chance.

I like this guy. He's cool and honest.

Nor do I.

Yawn

And no one’s asking for a director’s cut of that

It was good, not great.

Baz Luhrmann:

Yeah but love and thunder felt as though mad scenes were cut out, this is him being insecure about the critics, the movie felt as though pieces were missing... Zack Synder is for the people, kinda like Ridley Scott..

His next project should be the little pony movie.

So he’s saying he doesn’t even like the cut he delivers. A filmmaker should deliver a cut they believe in and take notes/make edits from there.

If this clown director is gonna be the future of Marvel & Star wars then I am done.....The reason why Phase 2 & Phase 3 succeeded is because of the Russo brothers!!

I'm guessing we're talking about a League of Justice here, hmmm... XD

If they were to be controlled it's you no-one else.

I agree with the headline quote…

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Consider that hot pile of trash I watched yesterday, this movie NEEDS a directors cut. His comment about directors just lets me know the type of studio-tool director he is 🤦🏾‍♂️

Someone is throwing shade at Snyder.. not smart lol.

All these salty Zack Synder stans in the comments 😂

Or is it because he knows the real Thor was not happy he wasn't cast to play himself ?

Because he sucks as a director. I’d jump off a bridge before I’d watch a 4 hr cut of Ragnarok

Beta

I hate taika Waititi more.

Riddley Scott, Peter Jackson, Zack Snyder, Mike Flanagan laughs of you TaikaWaititi

Thorloveandthunder releasethetaikacut ReleaseTheWaititiCut

Its not good at 2 hours either

Will it ever end?

Not interested to watch even.

The first cut was bad enough. The movie was barely watchable.

People who keep lifting up The Snyder Cut are missing an important caveat to that film: the theatrical version was not his movie. He had to leave the project and Whedon was brought in to “Marvel-ize” it.

The released cut wasn't much better!

Maybe he should reconsider a director’s cut of ThorLoveAndThunder because the cut I saw absolutely stunk.

Thank you finally someone said it

Sure but please include every deleted scene 🥺

I don’t agree. I liked the Snyder cut. But I also don’t want to watch four hours of love and thunder.

So he’s just a Yes man? Maybe he never has issues with studios, good for him. But he should be more respectful. Maybe he will have a different opinion after his next movie with Lucasfilm

What about what the fans want

Apart from snyder cut....👀

but fan edits can be so much better

The Richard Donner cut of Superman is way superior to the theatrical release

Who the F is that guy ...

tb, cara mal fez um filme coerente, n sobrou nd pra meter no corte do diretor

I'm turning this thread into a death pit with one movie title: Blade Runner

Director's Cut of Aliens is garbage; it just left nothing to the imagination of the viewer by putting out needless exposition and filler. The theatrical version was one of my favorite films as a teen.

Like a fart and poop director has any taste

Only thing worse than this take is the people agreeing not because they agree but because they just want to be contrary and kiss his stupid butt. Blade Runner Troy Kingdom of Heaven Donnie Darko LOTR x3 Daredevil Watchmen Spider-Man 2 ALL of them are better

Then theres BvS ultimate edition and zach snyder justice league that are better than the theratical release

He obviously haven’t seen Kingdom of Heaven

thats because his cut will probably be worse than the movie lmao

For all his filmography, this really reads as 'never has fun'

He was once a very brilliant and down to earth guy.

😒😒

This guy is probably the most toxic director in the last 10 years!!! his rol now is boring and predictable! His famous time is finishing quickly! good luck to the future, mister parodia!!

🤡

Kick him out of Hollywood

I'm glad he thinks that way for his own movies. Because his director cut would be even more chaotic and cringy.

Wasted my money on his bullish!t Thor4 movie thorofficial

Employee of the month...

Between “Directors need to be controlled sometimes” and “I’d say my cut would probably have a few more jokes in there”, it seems Waititi doesn’t have any self-awareness regarding how indulgent and overly jokey his recent work has been.

🤦🏻

Most of these marvel directors cant even do a 2 hour movie mandate without fillers scenes! Jokes and shit which is hella cringy and unnecessary! So why would they want to do directors cut? Cause they only would have more of ass that was cut in the first place

This entire article is ass

I'm guessing he never saw the director cuts of BvS or Snyder's JL? Both were far superior to the theatrical or DVD releases.

Shut up Taika.

DareDevil Watchmen The Exorcist I Am Legend Alternate Cut Blade Runner: The Final Cut X-Men DoFP: The Rogue Cut Zack Snyder's Justice League Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut Batman V Superman: Ultimate Edition The Lord of The Rings Extended Trilogy ...but ok Taika 🙄

It would just have more 'humour' that nobody laughs at and probably turns Thor into an even bigger joke

His certainly wouldn’t be

It felt like a director’s cut already tbh

Your original cut is barely good.

Directors cuts are ALWAYS better than theatrical. This guy is either trolling or he is that dumb.

Taika couldn't make a film 1/50th as good as Blade Runner: The Final Cut

It took 4 editors to make something decent enough for a release.

Would never wanna watch more of Ragnorak....

A director's cut of a movie can be better depending on the situation. It use to be studios telling a director to make it shorter. Now they have more control do the theater release is what the director wanted.

Personally I'm grateful, one version of Love and Chunder is enough for this realm thank you very much.

But can we have the deleted Gorr scenes pls?

He's right for the most part since for every one good director's cut there's probably 4-5 bad to meh ones.

Aliens: Special Edition is the definitive version.

I guess TaikaWaititi has not seen Mike Flanagan's Directors Cut of Doctor Sleep.

That’s it… releasethetaikacut

I would argue that the Directers Cut of the Ben Affleck Daredevil makes it much more enjoyable

Thankfully, because ThorLoveAndThunder sucked.

Hes such an ass lol

Nobody hasn’t

Agreed. Director's cuts are for unhappy fans who will never be satisfied.

It wouldn’t have saved the movie anyway

i have never seen a directors cut not better that the theatrical

I agree! They end up being a more artistic impression of the movie w/deleted scenes crowbarred in & not always ending up being relevant or serving the best interests of the movie. I wish we got a full JL movie from Snyder instead of a cut; I think it would’ve been much better

For more Jokes? No thank you... Taika is not good to be more clear. Poor Star Wars.

I'm I the only guy who hates what this 'director' did to Thor. He turned this character into a big joke, the story was unfunny and dumb, and the villain was a pantomine dame without hair. Star Wars fans need to organise and stop this clown from mangling the SW franchise.

Zach Snyder being the outlier

Meh. He's got some bad takes in there but perhaps he's just happy with what he's crafted and feels like being forced to create a 'Director's Cut' so a studio can jerk consumers around is just a bad idea. I can't argue with that. Sometimes they do feel like a scam.

I disagree severely

How about lotr director’s cut…think that is no good🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

He's very honest. I don't disagree with him.

Not if the director is good and actually the decision maker...

Neither have we, Variety. Neither have we.

This gotta be the dumbest take ever.

Watch the theatrical release of “True Romance” and then the director’s cut. You will quickly get on board with director’s cuts.

Ridley Scott beat this man

He ain't wrong, it happened for me with Midsommar director's cut, while interesting it absolutely destroys the movie's pacing.

He's right. TOYS is a true artistic masterpiece and the director's cut absolutely destroys it. It's actually hard to find the theatrical release now though!

yeah best just stick with the dog shit version you put out huh

So those extra two hours are just meaningless footage?

His director's cut would be much worse

Ok...

This masterpiece destroys his argument.

Says the man who make the dumbest recent movie 🤦🏻‍♂️ Kind of makes Dark World to look good.

This cements the theatrical release as also the director's cut, seeing as it's the cut the director approves of. Checkmate, Taika, lol.

So the dc of blade runner, brazil, etc, are not good?, He should just say his movie doesn't justify a longer runtime instead of talking bs.

Our king TaikaWaititi speaking the damn truth. I’m so glad someone finally said it. I love movies, and I HATE directors cuts.

Honestly, he's not wrong. I remember being super excited to watch the Director's Cut of Mallrats since I love the theatrical cut, and after watching about an hour of it, I couldn't continue, it was so boring and terribly paced. It turns out, Kevin Smith hates that version.

Depends on the film. Otherwise, can't blame him after the crap with Snyder.

Can we all agree that these directors have different opinions on their work.

Lmaooo as if the Snyder Cut isn’t one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. I love Taika but this take is hot ass

That’s okay. From what I’ve been gathering, I would assume not many people are demanding a directors cut for this film

There's never been a directors cut of any marvel movie, to my knowledge, so why start now? A waititi cut will bebthe same with more terrible jokes.

neither was the movie tho...

Okay, now I get the hate against him. That’s just actively insulting better filmmakers, many of whom were in tough spots.

Says the man that ruined Thor.

Tell that to Zack Synder. SMMFH🤦🏾‍♂️

Tell him to watch Zack Snyders Justice League..

Atta boy! Less self-indulgent monotony, pretty please!

Meanwhile Snyder Cut exists...

🤨 you can say that again

false

Boring hack

he's obviously never seen Lord of the Rings...

His not even wrong💀 lots of director cuts are very over indulgent and leave lots of useless pieces in their

Overrated director

This one in theaters is enough suffering. No more
