So it’s a common tumblr headcanon that Thor’s speech about Mjolnir was reflecting his relationship with Loki.

Then we have Korg’s speech which, when I first saw the movie, I found hilarious, but only that. At first glance Korg is not doing much more than unintentionally mocking Thor’s hammer fetish so that we realize  how silly his fixation with Mjolnir is. No hidden meaning there. Right?

I do believe now that when Thor was talking to Korg about Mjolnir it dawned on him that very moment that… he was actually thinking of Loki. Look at his face.

Notice how Thor pauses there, contemplating what Korg said. He’s thinking of his brother.

Recently I read a post on reddit explaining how the “revelation” Thor had later on was about deciding to let Loki go if he wanted him back. 

But when exactly in the movie did he get that “revelation”, and what did he mean by that anyway…? It’s never clearly explained. 

“Since we last spoke”, that is since they were both in Thor’s cell. And what happened right after that?

THIS.

THIS is the exact moment when Thor had the epiphany that “open communication” (like he tried to do so many times in the past) “was not their family’s forte”. 

And if he wanted to get through to Loki he had to  talk in a language he would understand, and use other methods. Mischief and reverse psychology.

It worked.
