Taika Waititi’s candy-colored supergod romp Thor: Ragnarok has been given the anime intro treatment! This video is the first thing that made me smile this week and stop thinking, for a marvelous one minute and twenty-one seconds, about how the President of the United States is almost certainly compromised by Russia and that Vladimir Putin wakes up crying with laughter every single day.
The thematic mash-up, made by YouTuber no name Animation, plunges us head-on into anime vibes with a rousing pop song and clever slicing and dicing of footage that made me smile from the moment it kicks off.
