Cartoonless Box Office

In this action sequence, director Taika Waititi gives a shout-out to storyboard artist Tod Harris, who boarded the whole kit and kaboodle. (Taika W. also points out that comic book legend Jack Kirby provided a lot of inspiration. Nice to see a live-action director spread the credit around.)

...unless you count the mighty Thor.
