With the long, long Avengers: Endgame wait finally over as of midnight tonight, stars in LA have gathered together for the world premiere of the hotly anticipated big buck flick. And all of them, every single one of them, have been mercilessly outshone by Taika Waititi who arrived dressed as the pure Lavender Daddy of your goddamned dreams.

Waititi, who is shoulder-deep in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to his directorial work on Thor: Ragnarok, rocked up to today’s Endgame premiere in Hollywood absolutely resplendent in a shimmering lavender getup, pictures of which somehow smell good.

And because wearing that kind of suit can is like mainlining liquid Vitamin B, Waititi spent practically the entirety of his purple carpet arrival interview idly dancing.
As you bloody well do.

Because all of this ticks just about every box on everyone’s personal algorithm’s of thirst, the internet was summarily agog at their Kiwi Krush’s frankly magnificent aesthetic.

The absolute scenes here. The sheer audacity of it all. The man cannot be stopped. He operates purely on strong looks and big vibes. A living, breathing icon.
That alone should sustain you during these last few Endgame-less hours, as midnight heralds the long-awaited arrival of premiere day here in Australia, and a time at which we can all find out the ultimate fate of our various heroes.
What a time to be alive.
