Loki + mentions of Thor

Loki after someone mentions Thor: Would it kill you to put my existence first for once? I mean come on all he’s done is save people, I’VE KILLED THEM!!

Thor used to pick a fight and kill people in the past while endanger his own friends. Loki used to keep Thor out of trouble or avoid an uncecessary fight. It’s a bit ironic isn’t it?

Loki after someone mentions Thor: Would it kill you to put my existence first for once? I mean come on all he’s done is save people, I’VE KILLED THEM!!

When I read shit like this, I wonder if people are watching the same movies that I’ve watched. Or if they have paid attention at all while doing so. Thor is a violent person. He has taken MANY lives. He enjoys doing so. Not even because he is a bad guy, but because it is part of his culture. He has spent far more screen time committing violence than Loki.

Loki, on the other hand, is not a naturally violent person. It was one of the reasons he didn’t fit in so well on Asgard. He has taken lives as well. Though probably not as many as Thor. But somehow the audience comes away with this notion that Loki is this bloodthirsty killer. Even when he’s just sitting there, doing nothing, the audience is thinking “wow, he’s evil.”

As an educator, I make it my mission to teach children how to critically analyze fiction. Not only so that they can grow up to watch movies and NOT draw ridiculous conclusions like this one, but so they can apply that skill to their assessment of real life people as well.

Loki after someone mentions Thor: “Would it kill you to allow me some measure of autonomy? I am an actual person. My existence is not contingent on Thor’s existence.”

FIXED. 

Thank you! 

I guess this all happens because the first Avengers movie and Thor: Ragnarok are fresher and livelier in the minds of the popular collective vs Thor 1 and Thor 2.

The Avengers has Loki acting desperate after being brainwashed by a literal death cult and in Thor 3 the director (and possibly Hemsworth too?) took a machete to both Thor and Loki’s characterization in the name of humor.

It doesn’t help that many of the clues that there is more to Loki than the mask he presents in the two movies are in deleted scenes or in blink-and-you-miss-it moments that take rewatches or screencaptured-gifs for most film watchers to catch; heck, I took everything at face value the first time I watched the films until I saw tumblr posts that showed those moments!

I was surprised to find that, yes, Loki was crying real tears when he stabbed Thor in the Avengers, that he was tempted to go home with him but still hurting from what his point of view had been a colossal life-long betrayal from his whole family, Thor’s friends and even Heimdall in Thor 1, and the deleted scene in The Avengers 1 when Loki talks mentally to The Other for a second time should never have been deleted, because it showed us that Loki was being supervised 24/7 even when he wasn’t holding the Scepter, which is a game-changer in explaining what went on in that movie.

Oh, God, all the deleted scenes. We cannot have people sympathizing with Loki, that is madness.

You could argue that Thanos is written to be more sympathetic to the audience in Avengers: Infinity War than Loki was by this stage of the MCU:

“Boo hoo, I really loved Gamora even though I abused and tortured her and all my kidnapped/adopted children which I orphaned in the first place!” 

“I really believe in my vision of a just world, I’m just misguided!” 

There is something sad about that.

Nice input. The Infinity War writer and director are trying to make Thanos more sympathetic than Loki.

melodramatic-fratboi:

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.

Okay rant over. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

@take-my-life-not-my-heart I just felt very protective of your boy

And the other thing:

The story begins and Loki points his dagger at the head of Thanos.

Ends the story and Thanos tells Thor:

“You should have aimed for the head”

So…

Did Loki know about Thanos’ weakness?

🤔

@mylokabrennauniverse
Oh, yes great observation. They have a sad history together and I’m
sure, they have known each other well. As Thanos has known that Loki’s
weak point must be Thor, Loki was also aware of Thanos’ weakness.
Mostly, because we know well that Loki is always with one step ahead of
his enemies. His considered phrases to Thanos, the pointing at his head,
his confidence can be the proofs of it. Maybe he tried to inform Thor
in a subtle way but unfortunately, Thor hasn’t noticed the sign.
