Bhabha describe as a culture of “hybridity.” For Bhabha, colonization is not locked in the past, but its effects reverberate throughout the present culture, resulting in two conflicting identities forming in both the colonized and colonizers – a hybrid identity. That Asgard’s riches are the result of a colonial empire creates what post-colonial theorists like Homi K. In fact, Waititi’s own father was a Māori farmer. Examples in world history include the original colonization of the United States and Canada against the indigenous Native American tribes, the raiding of African nations resulting in the African diaspora, and the invasion of Waititi’s home country of New Zealand against the Māori. An institutionally and technologically advanced force conquers a smaller, less advanced people or territory, plundering it for its resources. Hela’s description of Asgard’s foundation parallels the process of colonization.
