Girl sitting in waiting room, wearing a Loki hoodie, guy next to her wearing a Captain America shirt, me sitting next to him, somehow not wearing a Captain America shirt.
Guy (to girl): “You like Loki, huh?”
Girl: “Yeah!”
Guy: “What’s your favorite Loki story?”
Girl (With immediate excitement): “Well I mostly know him from the movies but I’ve been reading this ‘Loki: Agent of Asgard’ comic and I really-”
Guy (interrupting): “Pfft. the movies! I fucking knew it. Fucking fake girl.”
The girl, caught off guard by the sudden hostility, is silenced, for the moment.
Me (to Guy): “I see you’re wearing a Cap shirt. Do you know who created him?”
Guy (With delicious arrogance): “Stan Lee.”
Me: “Joe Simon and Jack Kirby you fucking fake geek boy.”
Girl and receptionist both laugh at him. My name is called and I go in to my appointment. End Scene.
Surprised loki didnt flinch at all with all that lightning coursing around him
he grew up with that guy, he’s used to it
Loki didn’t even transform, his suit was an illusion and he just took it off.
Yeah, Loki just dispelled the illusion, but Thor actually had to change clothes, so he needed the lightning blast to cover the ThunderPenis.
I’m convinced Loki is perma-nude and EVERY outfit you see is an illusion. Why deal with the discomfort of chafing pleather pants when you can just trick people into thinking you’re wearing clothes?
Also, “ThunderPenis” nearly killed me.
A teenage boy sitting behind me when I first saw this movie narrated the transformation with “BAM! Now we sexy!” and I hear it in my head every. single. time.
One of my favorite tropes is “Villain Decay”. It’s not a redemption or reformation – the character themself doesn’t necessarily change morally or behaviorally, but the as the stakes become higher and more serious antagonists are introduced, the original villain seems harmless and friendly in comparison.
that’s how you end up in an elevator with your adopted emo god of mischief brother trying to convince him to stop being mildly evil for five minutes so you can defeat your mega evil older sister who is destroying your home planet
thor: he will surely be remembered for being such a terrible liar who faked his own death several times.. aaand there he is at the back in the stupid big helmet. i’d like to apologize to everyone here once again
joss whedon: loki tortures and murders people for fun, and, despite being the god of CHAOS, is a fascist who says things like “it’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation”
taika waititi: loki is an annoying little shit who day-drinks, puts on theater about himself, and fucks his way to the top
joss whedon: loki and thor are gods, so they always talk proper and posh and in cryptic riddles so for no reason. it makes them seem more powerful and mystical.
taiki waititi: one time when they were kids loki turned into a snake because he knows thor loves snakes and then thor went to pick up the snake and then loki turned back into himself and screamed “yueagh, it’s me!” and then he stabbed thor
Taika Waititi has a deeper understanding of Norse mythological accuracy than Joss lol
Rebellions are built on hope
