Did Taika Waititi put instagram filter on Natalie Portman’s face?


At first I couldnt understand what was wrong with Natalie’s face when she first appeared as Lady Thor. Then I understood that her face looks like those faces on Instagram when people put filters to make them look young and skin smoother.

I assume Taika Waititi thought that her 40-years old face is too old to be love interest and leading lady. But it was so obvious that it was distracting. Not to mention that isnt he Woke? This will not give confidence to aging actresses in Hollywood. Its been pushed through years that actresses now are not too old at age 40 to play lead role. It was improving. But there was woke Taika basically saying: "Nope, too old. Sorry Natalie. No one wants to see your old face. I will blush it in post production and put filter".

She looked like a doll sometimes. Thors face was filtered too often. Its one thing to do that to show flashbacks where actors have to look like they are 20. But it looks like Hollywood will now try to do that with everyone.

I noticed that too. But in Thor's case it makes sense if Asgardians consistently, because he's supposed to live for 2,000+ years, so the brief 11-year period we've seen him he shouldn't age at all, based on Asgardian physiology.
11 years for us is 13% of our lifespan, for an Asgardian that's only .5%.

Made sense to me. People who can lift the hammer are transformed into perfect versions of themselves.
