The interview explores the ways Waldron’s experience working with Dan Harmon on Rick and Morty (and on Community) helped inform the Tom Hiddleston starrer. “I never thought of Loki as a comedy,” Waldron says, noting the show’s humor comes from watching the god of mischief “respond to the crazy stuff he’s dealing with” as opposed to joke setup and punchlines.
