just wanting to prove a quick point here. reblog if you believe loki is a complex, well-developed, three-dimensional character who didn’t deserve to be killed in the first 5 minutes of the movie. let’s see how many we are
Yes and that’s technically counts as “resurrection” even if Loki’s officially dead. For me the issue is not Loki’s death, more like how it was done. Out of character for Loki and extremely violent. Not to mention how badly written that scene was. I never thought that Loki survived that encounter and honestly I have no hope that they actually undone it. Now I hope that the way Russos are acting is part of their plan to really surprise fans and make them happy when Loki is brought back to life, only for the sake of their own integrity if nothing else. Because the way they have acted so far is nothing but unprofessional and childish. It seems they are bitter that their hype for Thanos failed magnificently. They tried to build up fans’ excitement for Thanos. They wanted to replace Loki, the best MCU villain with him. They said we’ll find Thanos sympathetic because he is actually have a point and is right and tried to show that his love for Gamora is real. But in the end no one but dudebros fell for their BS. Because Thanos absolutely does not have a point. There are scientific researchers that totally refute his stupid idea if they searched the google for five minutes. They don’t understand what made Loki so popular. They don’t understand what makes a sympathetic character. And after IW people still talk about Loki. Making metas and theories about whether he lives. Loki was killed before the movie even started and he stole the show. Again. He is still the most popular character and still the best MCU villain. And now there is the news of Loki tv show and no one gives a damn about Thanos and their confirmation of Loki’s death and what they said about fans tears are sweet, looks like they are bitter about their failure and it’s a sad attempt to try to rub Loki’s death in our faces just to make themselves feel better. To which I have to say:
– is 9047% okay with peter making a ‘video diary’ of his trip to berlin (even holds the camera for him for a brief moment in the car when they go to drop him back off in queens)
– hugs peter (that was a god damn hug fight me) and then blatantly lies to peter about how it wasn’t one, saying “we’re not there yet” (no one opens the fucking door like that, tony)
– makes sure peter has a parachute even when tony DOESNT HAVE ONE AND HE’S THE ONE THAT FUCKING FLIES
– monitors peter all the way from india and sends a suit to save him approximately .3 seconds after he was in serious danger
– not so subtly hints at the fact that he listened to every voicemail and read every text peter sent and not only that, REMEMBERED THEM TOO (“like that lady that bought you the churro” “i thought happy said you quit band six weeks ago”)
– put a heater in peter’s suit (y’all know he actually had to SIT THERE and think of these things. He got into Full Mechanic Dad Mode and made this suit specially for peter)
– like five minutes after saving peter’s ass he talks to him about college
– names protocols in peter’s suit “training wheels” and “baby monitor”
– MAKES 576 WEBSHOOTER COMBINATIONS????
– calls peter “mister parker”
– compliments him multiple times on his work (“nice work, kid” “nice job, kid” “you did a good job” “nice work in DC”)
– “MY DAD NEVER REALLY GAVE ME A LOT OF SUPPORT SO IM JUST TRYING TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF SHAME™” THE WAY HE SAYS “MY DAD” LIKE TONY HIMSELF IS ALSO A DAD. LIKE TONY IS PETER’S DAD. I CANT BELIEVE TONY IS LOWKEY REFERRING TO HIMSELF AS ONE OF PETER’S GUARDIANS AT THIS POINT WOW !!!!!!!!!!
– calls the FBI as soon as peter hangs up on him and immediately gets into his own suit and flies from wherever-the-fuck he is to where peter is (and assuming tony immediately left after peter hung up, it took him four minutes and twenty-four seconds (YES, i did the math))
– “don’t cut me off when i’m complimenting you” 1. either he’s just putting on that Public Tony Stark™ persona or 2. he’s making it seem like his compliments are worth a lot so when he DOES compliment peter (which is, again, relatively a LOT), peter feels Extra Good about himself
– “i think you’ve done enOUGH” MAD DAD™ TONY IS HERE AND HE IS ANGRY BECAUSE IF ANYONE DIED HE KNEW PETER WOULD FEEL GUILTY AND IF PETER HIMSELF DIED TONY WOULD HAVE THAT ON HIS CONSCIENCE AND GOD KNOWS HE DOESNT NEED ANY MORE GUILT IN HIS HEART
– (also i’d just like to appreciate the dialogue in between vulture and one of his workers- “so that’s it? you’re just gonna run?” “feds were waiting for us- now we’re on iron man’s radar? yeah i’m running. you should too.” like i’m so proud of my son striking fear into criminals)
– “if you even cared you’d actually be here”
tony: *is here*
peter: (งO_O) ง
i’m totally here for Intimidating Dad Tony who has so much fear for this kid’s life that it comes out as anger and scares peter
– “did you know i was the only one who BELIEVED IN YOU everyone else said i was CRAZY” TONY BELIEVING IN PETER SO MUCH THAT HE TRUSTS HIM MORE THAN WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING LIKE DAMN THATS DANGEROUS I KNOW BUT HOLY SHIT TONY! BELIEVES! IN! THIS! KID! SO MUCH!!!!!!
– “THIS IS WHERE YOU ZIP IT AIGHT THE ADULT IS TALKING” that’s just. a dad thing in itself.
– “AND IF YOU DIE-“ -whispers because he can’t even talk in a normal voice when he says this*- “-i feel like that’s on me… i don’t need that on my conscience.” AGAIN, TONY PHYSICALLY CANNOT HANDLE THE AMOUNT OF GUILT PETER’S DEATH WOULD CAUSE HIM
– “i was just trying to be like you” “and i wanted you to be better” okay but imagine what’s going through both their heads??? peter is probably thinking ‘how in the bloody fuck can i be better than iron man’ and tony’s probably thinking ‘c’mon, kid, it’s not that hard’ because tony only sees himself through the mistakes he’s made and peter sees tony through his achievements
– literally grounds peter by taking away his suit- like if that isn’t the most dad thing he did this entire movie
– “IF YOU’RE NOTHING WITHOUT THE SUIT THEN YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE IT” PASSING ON SOME WORDS OF WISDOM™ TO HIS NEXT OF KIN- TRULY A FATHERLY THING TO DO
– “god i sound like my dad” TONY IS JUST SO AFRAID!!! FOR PETER’S LIFE!!!! TO END UP LIKE HIS FATHER!!!!!!! THE ALIENS!!!!!!!!! HIS EX-TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!! HE FEELS SO TINY AND THERE’S. TOO. MANY. THINGS. THAT. ARE. TOO. BIG. FOR. HIM. TO. HANDLE. LET. HIM. REST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
– peter: *is sad* i don’t have any other clothes
tony: *sees peter is sad* okay we’ll sort that out
tony: *gives him a souvenir shirt and hello kitty sweatpants to try and make him feel better which probably just ended up making peter feel humiliated but A++ for effort babe*
– HAS SUCH AN IMPACT ON PETER THAT PETER LITERALLY HAS A FREAK OUT AND THEN REMEMBERS TONY’S WORDS OF WISDOM™ AND THEN WOW PETER CAN SUDDENLY REMEMBER HE CAN LIFT A FUCKING BUILDING JFC
– gives peter that shoulder bump thing while smiling at him fondly idk that was just so cute
– puts his arm around peter’s shoulders, which he can just barely do because they’re literally the same height- rdj is 5’9 and tom is 5’8 (we all know tony wears high tops and high heels. he totally rocks them)
– asks for a little privacy with peter and then immediately apologizes for taking his suit
– “TOUGH LOVE MOMENT”
– sighs contentedly like he’s just so proud of peter that he has to breathe and take it all in. “my son did that. he fuckin Did That”
– mentions peter can be on the team and then when peter is all like “to the-to THE team?” he’s all like “ya lol anyway-“ like it’s no big deal. tony i know you’re fucking ecstatic inside to have someone on the team who loves and appreciates you as much as you love and appreciate them, don’t you try and cover that up
– MAKES PETER A NEW SUIT????? 1. IF IT WAS ALREADY MADE BEFORE TONY TOOK AWAY HIS OTHER SUIT, TONY DIDN’T THROW IT AWAY. HE FUCKIN KEPT IT. 2. IF IT WASN’T ALREADY MADE, TONY KEPT WORKING ON IT???
– smirks when peter isn’t looking because he’s a VERY proud dad
– gives peter a room???????
– PURSES HIS LIPS A LITTLE WHEN PETE SAYS “i’m good” AND U CAN TELL HE’S TRYING NOT TO SHOW IT BUT HE’S DISAPPOINTED (not in peter ofc but in his response because tony was just so excited to have peter live with him) and then his immediate “HOW ARE YOU GOOD WHAT DO YOU MEAN”
– is AN EXTRA FUCKING PROUD DAD™ when peter explains he’d like to stay on the ground and look out for the little guy for now. I SWEAR TONY LOOKED AT HIM SO SOFT AND THIS MIGHT JUST BE ME BUT I SWEAR TONY’S LIP TWITCHED A LITTLE BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING NOT TO SMILE
– FINALLY SMILED AT PETER WHEN HE WAS WALKING AWAY BECAUSE HE WAS SO PROUD
