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.
The Russo Brothers need to stop trying to make Thanos out to be a villain that the fandom should sympathize with. They’ve finally created a character that we truly hate, whose motivations are absolutely fucked up and who has been given more power than he should have and now the Avengers can team up and get together at last to defeat him. We don’t need to love Thanos, he already evokes a huge fuckin amount of emotion in us.
And we already had a “villain” that we loved and we could empathise with. You know who that was? Loki.
Loki was the ultimate anti-hero™ and Tom Hiddleston did a perfect job portraying all of the nuances and internal conflicts that Loki had. Despite everything Loki was loyal and he loved his brother and Thor honestly could have done a better job and Odin didn’t need to be a dick to Loki. And trust me, I love Thor. The way he died, that was a move Loki would have never pulled. It was reckless and stupid, Loki would have made a calculated and informed decision. Yes you can argue that he did it to protect his brother.
Which brings me to this, Loki, in the end, deserved better than what he got and the Russo’s need to stop trying to shove Thanos down our throat because there’s no way to ever really justify his actions. It’s a weak ass warped motive and I hope he gets socked in the jaw by every Avenger out there for it. And there is no fckn way Tom is too old to play Loki when everyone in the cast is pretty much his age. Fuck off about that.
According to this Loki should have been able to lift the equivalent of 60 Thanoses WHY DIDN’T HE JUST YEET THANOS ACROSS THE UNIVERSE INSTEAD OF USING THOSE STUPID BUTTERKNIVES @ MARVEL EXPLAIN!!!1!!1!!
