The DC Connection

This might be Taika Waititi’s best-hidden reference, and it’s possible that no one would have noticed it if the director hadn't pointed it out. The nod to Green Lantern (in which Taika portrayed Hal's friend) comes as Skurge tries to woo two female Asgardians with what he’s brought from Earth. One of the mementos is a Shake Weight.

How does this connect to Green Lantern? It’s Taika’s Shake Weight that he bought during filming. He said that he didn’t have much to do at night, so he bought things he saw in infomercials.

The Shake Weight was the only thing he held onto afterward, and the rest is history.
