what would taika waititi and jeff goldblum’s jaeger name be? obviously something that can properly convey the amount of raw, chaotic jewish energy that the two of them would carry into their drift partnership

“tikkun Oh Damn” has been suggested to me and i could not second the vote faster

I hate most war movies they all feel like propaganda and usually I watch them for the actors performance. I’m really annoyed and disappointed that taika chose this as his next movie. Also has Hollywood been on a nazi/wwii kick latley?? I feel like last year alone I watched at least 5 movies about wwii or the nazi regime?!? And a new trailer dropped this week for an Oscar issac movie revolving around the nazi regime?! And know taikas new film? What’s with the sudden spurt of nazi films Hollywood?

its super disappointing, taika could’ve chosen anything as his follow up project to ragnarok after the way that movie was received he literally could’ve had anything greenlit and this is what he does? I’m sorry but I just can’t, like I can’t get past making hitler a funny sidekick let alone be played by a jewish man of color like what was the train of thought here? like I said it screams irresponsible filmmaking at least w “the death of stalin” even tho it was satire it was p fckn dark no one was redeemed or presented in a good light and all the atrocities they committed were as cruel on screen as they were irl, like I’m just at loss of words here

and I think all these nazi films its bec of all the neo nazis on the news like a “comeback” jesus.. u kno how oportunistic hollywood can be and they can market these movies like “Why X Movie Is Important In The Age Of Trump”

I mean, Jewish people have been making satire in regards to Hitler for a long time, and he has been working on this script for years. You don’t have to watch or enjoy the film, but the attitude of “this Jewish man could know better” is really condescending.

  1. WWII Films never went away, they’re a constant, irritating drone in the background for anyone paying attention.
  2. I love how non-Jewish people are telling Jews that they’re relating to the Holocaust and Second World War wrong.
  3. This group would be saying that The Producers was garbage, fuck ‘em.

Taika has outright stated that, as a Polynesian Jewish man, he is making this film as 1) satire and 2) purposfully as a big ol fuck you to Hitler, because what better way to insult him than by having him portrayed by a Polynesian Jew?

Like if goyim could stop freaking out over Jewish satire and portrayals of Hitler and how we handle our own history and START freaking out about the actual, real life fucking Nazis that we got running around right now, that would be nice.

Wait until anon hears about a little movie called The Great Dictator

actually when I was in 8th grade and obsessed with twilight my master plan as a twilight vampire was to sit around in famous shipwrecks like the super deep ones where they can only send robots with cameras from their submarines and when they sent one down i’d be sitting there, pretending to drink out of an old tea cup you know for the drama of it all and the guys in the submarine would know what they saw and that it was real footage but who else would believe them? no one important.

but it didn’t stop there. at the next party they threw to celebrate one of their latest finds, some museum-y banquet idk I was 13, I was going to show up. I was going to show up and make eye contact with them one at a time from across the room and they were going to lose their goddamn minds and then before the volturi could catch wind i was gonna be back in the ocean. how could they find me?

the drama. the theatrics. i can’t believe i didn’t realize i was gay right then but that’s another story, also involving vampires,

Way more interesting than the actual Twilight saga.

Taika Waititi should seriously make a What We Do in the Shadows ep with this plot.
