Despite mixed reviews from critics and audiences, Thor: Love and Thunder has been yet another box office hit for Marvel Studios. Even with a precipitous 68 percent drop-off in its second weekend in theaters—a record decline for an MCU movie—the fourth Thor installment tacked on an additional $46 million after earning $144 million in its opening act. However, for the studio at large, a bigger problem has emerged during the film’s rollout than its reviews or box office margins. Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi has recently taken some heat over negative comments he made about the CGI in a particular scene in the film, which comes at a time when VFX artists had already been speaking out against Marvel Studios about poor working conditions.

Waititi’s comments came during a scene breakdown video he did for Vanity Fair last week along with actress Tessa Thompson, who plays King Valkyrie in Love and Thunder. “OK, does that look real?” Waititi asks Thompson, referring to Korg, the rock warrior whom Waititi voices in the film.

“In that particular shot, no, actually,” Thompson responds with a laugh.

“Doesn’t he need to be more blue?” he then asks, before pointing to Thor and asking: “Well, does he look real?”

“No, none of us do,” Thompson replies, before adding that “something looks very off” with her character.
