    Thor: Love and Thunder had Marvel fans divided. The comedy, the romance and the screaming goats reeled in mixed reviews across the board. But is that going to stop director, Taika Waititi, from dreaming up a sequel? Heck no!

    Why would you make a movie called Thor: Love and Thunder and not use the Thor villain who is famously in love with Thor? pic.twitter.com/ifXC0yTc2u

    In an exclusive interview featured in upcoming book, Thor: Love and Thunder The Official Movie Special, Waititi made his bid to direct another instalment of the film franchise.

    The book releases on September 19, according to Amazon. 

    He also pitched a new concept for the God of Thunder's villain saying, "I don't think we can have a villain that's weaker than Hela. I feel like we need to step up from there and add a villain that's somehow more formidable.”

    And, because we couldn't agree more, we've rounded up some good ol' Aussie-inspired villain suggestions that would probably give Chris Hemsworth a run for his money.

    Here are the top contenders:

    1. The beloved and bright yellow Big Banana.

    2. The power of this monologue from Julia Gillard.

    No words. She used them all. 

    Take the passion and bravery of this speech and put it right into a ray gun.

    3. The power pop duo, The Veronicas.

    4. The rising star that is Aaron Chen.

    5. The fear that only the Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster can manifest.

    6. The force of nature that is Robert Irwin.

    7. The legend that is Mackenzie Arnold.

    8. The always filling, always tasty meat pie.

    When frozen, meat pies are an effective rock. When cooked, the filling could burn a god, without question. 

    9. The impact and music of the OG Wiggles.

    Thor has nothing on sweet dance moves, catchy songs and the roar of the nation when we're trying to wake up Jeff.

    10. The marvel that is Kmart.

    11. The ever-stressful, HSC/VCE Exams.

    Take the stress, liquify it and inject it into the veins of an unsuspecting citizen. Just like Captain America.

    12. The strongest fast food chain in the game.

    13. The Australian revival of KFC Krushers.

    14. The emus that fought in the great war of 1932.

    In 1932, Australia found itself in the midst of an unusual conflict known as the "Great Emu War." It all began with a decision to help World War I veterans by providing them with land in Western Australia. Unfortunately, these new landowners soon faced a unique problem – an… pic.twitter.com/BLb44wIN6O

    Thor vs a bunch of emus? No contest.

    15. The party boy with the yellow sunnies who inspired Project X, Corey Worthington.

    This man was a Gen Z king before Gen Z was a thing. His IDGAF-ness could rival Loki's from the original Thor film. 

    16. The never-failing Woolies mud cake.

    It's perfect, from top to bottom and its chocolate-y goodness can make anyone weak. The perfect time to strike.

    17. The laborious task of eating a frozen, orange juice cup.

    No one is safe from the wrist pain — not even Thor.

    18. The weekly, Sydney trains delay.

    Sydney trains letting in the goals as well! Thousands of people trying to get home and they are having technical difficulties! LOL why am i not surprised! pic.twitter.com/nLHZFAxvAV

    Delays like this could bring anyone to their knees.

    19. The forever-in-your-face eshay adlay bahhhhhhh.

    20. These monstrosities — also know as bin chickens.

    If they can take my Subway six-inch as I walk through Hyde Park, they can do anything.

    21. The sheer perseverance of social media personality, Selina Yang, when making jelly out of anything.

    She just won't quit — and that's the kind of perseverance you need if you're going to take down a God.
