Allerede da Taika Waititi instruerede Thor: Ragnarok, stod det klart, at humor ville spille en endnu større rolle i Thor-universet end nogensinde før. På det tidspunkt havde de fleste det fint med det, men da Waititi vendte tilbage til Thor med filmen Thor: Love and Thunder, mente både kritikere og biografgængere, at det var for meget af det gode. Selv Chris Hemsworth mener, at filmen var en tand for fjollet. Taika Waititi er dog uenig i kritikken.
"It's an ongoing battle because I want my films to be entertaining, and I want a lot of humor in them - to poke fun not only at the idea of the Space Viking, but also to poke fun at humans. How we bumble our way through life on this planet.
The comic run is very serious, and Jane's story is especially tense. And so to try to find humor around that stuff, as well as making it an emotional story, was always going to be difficult. And we struggled with that. We wrestled with it throughout the edit, right up until we finished the film.
We did funny scenes about cancer, we did way more tragic scenes about having cancer. Some audiences really loved the humor part of it.
Some audiences really wanted it to be just like the comics. But, you know, I always say, if you want it to be exactly like the comics read the comic. You've got to change things here and there to make it a film."
