i cannot believe tom cruise auditioned for tony stark. imagine a five minute sequence of tony stark running across roof-tops away from an antag bc his suit isn't working 💀 imagine the completely ooc, unnecessary stunts.
I long for more Asgard content, I want to see the streets, the markets, the architecture of the simple houses, the protocols of the royal court, Loki's chambers, Loki's closet, I want to know what were Loki's duties as a prince, did people have to call him your highness? Where did he eat? Is there a feasting hall?
Do the princes have to attend to all morning and night feasts or are they allowed to eat in their chambers? Are there servants designated to help Loki specifically? To prepare his baths, fetch his wine and food and help him get dressed? Does every member of the royal family have their own personal tailors/seamsters? Who chooses the fabrics for their clothes?
If Loki decides to buy let's say a new dagger does he have to go to a shop or can he order to have the daggers brought to him so he can choose while comfortably drinking wine on his bed? And how is the payment done? Does he have his own personal finances or is everything taken from the royal vaults?
Does Odin have an office from where he can talk to his sons/generals and assign them missions while dealing with paperwork (like Tywin's office in got) or is everything done in the throne room? Does Loki has his own suite of quarters or he only has his chambers? If so does that mean that he has his own personal staff to take care of his section of the palace? Are they loyal to him?
How do the common people view the princes? Do they see Loki as a villain or is he so detached from their ordinary lives that they don't think much about him? Is Loki considered a good catch bc he's royalty or is his image so tainted by his title of god of mischief that people avoid getting involved with him? Do the cortiers have to bow in his presence?
Are Sif and the warriors three nobles? Are they above the regular courtier? What is their station? Does their position as the heir's close friends puts them above everyone else except the members of the royal family? Are they allowed to jab at Loki because Thor allows them to or even if he didn't they would face no consequence for treating him as an equal/beneath them at times?
So many questions, so many things to think about, I NEED answers (and sadly I won't get any bc marvel literally destroyed one of the most ineteresting places they had for the sake of comedy I guess)
I read somewhere that the actors for Loki and Frigga decided they should share a tic…to pick at their hands when they were upset or nervous. I decided to look for it, and lo and behold, it’s true! I guess that’s something of a ‘tell’ if Loki is in disguise, heh heh. Fauxdin indeed.
Ok but imagine being the Russos and killing off Loki in the first 3 minutes of Infinity War and spending the whole press tour repeatedly going on about "deaths are permanent" and "no resurrections this time" and whatnot, only to come back to film yet another Avengers almost 10 years later and see that Loki is on the list of characters they've got to use
Being a normal Asgardian citizen must be so crazy for the first Thor movie. Like. You’re a normal person. Maybe you sell your wares at the market or something. Raise goats. But it’s your wonderful prince Thor’s coronation today and it’s so fun and grand and you’re going to celebrat- oh hold on. Hold on. No wait the coronation is cancelled. Somebody tells you that frost giants snuck into Asgard but that’s like so crazy you don’t believe it. Prince Thor probably got sick from nerves or something. Anyway you’re upset about the lack of feasting but it’s FINE you go home and- prince Thor disappears. Like he’s just gone now. Oh he’s banished??? For what. For going to JOTUNHEIM?? That’s crazy. Why would he do that? Anyway you have wares to peddle so- the All-Father’s in the Odinsleep now. That can’t be true, you have it marked down on your calendar that it’s supposed to be next month. Oh he is? Okay fine. Loki’s king now? Okay sure. He’s not as perky but he’ll do or whatever. He’ll do fine probably, it’s just until the All-Father wakes up and prince Thor comes back. Probably. And then the Bifrost is gone. It’s just gone now. King Loki was coronated and now the Bifrost is gone and by the way King Loki is dead now. No they don’t have his body it went with the Bifrost. The All-Father is back and so is Thor though so that’s something. It’s been 3 days.
Gentle reminder that TVA Loki and Sacred Timeline Loki only diverged after most of the events in The Avengers had already happened. The Loki we see in Thor 1 and Avengers is actually BOTH Lokis.
Also, consider that Loki and Thor are 1500 years old (according to Thor). To keep the math simple, let's say that the events in Doomsday happen in 2027. That means the split would have happened 15 years earlier, in 2012. 15 years is only 1% of their lifetimes. TVA Loki and Thor were on the same timeline for 99% of their lives (at least from Thor's perspective — we don't know how or if Loki is experiencing time in the tree). It's only the events of the last 15 years that TVA Loki missed out on, and even then he knows exactly what happened during that time. Add in the fact that TVA Loki's timeline was destroyed right after it was created, which to my mind means that Sacred Timeline Thor is TVA Loki's next-of-kin. Thor and TVA Loki are most definitely NOT strangers. They're just brothers with some catching up to do.
Soft spot in my heart for Tony Stark’s genuine soppingwet pathetic vibe. Common consensus is that this guy is mr confident heartbreaker or whatever meanwhile in actual canon he’s saying shit like ‘I needed u and u weren’t there’ / ‘u were supposed to be my frienddddd’ / ‘u lied to me how could u 💔’ like omg bro could NOT be more romantic heroine sad little yearning losercore if he tried.
so i saw some people discussing how loki in ragnarok shouldn’t have been at all phased or subverted by dr. strange – which i agree with, but also, hey, it’s comedic and you can argue that he was taken off-guard, but upon re-watch, something stuck out to me –
there’s this moment when they appear at the bottom of the stairs and thor rolls down the last couple and stands up and he says
we could’ve just walked.
and it made me think of how magic works in terry pratchett’s novels, how (to paraphrase) the hard part wasn’t turning someone into a frog, it was not turning someone into a frog when you knew how easy it was.
like, the whole scene with dr. strange is just. all magic. all pointless magic. unnecessary magic, when, well. they could have just walked.
whereas loki doesn’t really rely on magic overmuch in the movie – he uses it as a tool, when he needs it, but if the job can be done with plain old non-magical trickery or a knife, he just uses those. he resorts to magic when he’s cornered by valkyrie, he uses it when his goals are most directly accomplished by using magic rather than by other means.
whereas dr. strange is using magic all over his scene, just to use it. just because he can. magic was unnecessary for ninety percent of what he did in that scene, the only time he needed magic was to whisk them away to norway. but he teleported all over the place even when he only needed to move a few feet, gave thor an ever-refilling beer that just spilled everywhere, floated around to make a show of how ~magical~ he was, when…
he could have just walked.
i mean, i’m very sure that the filmmakers intended it for comedic effect, but there’s also a layer there of dr. strange being much less comfortable with magic than loki is – loki doesn’t need to bust out the magic at every opportunity, it’s simply a skill, a tool that is completely under his control and at his disposal. whereas dr. strange (at least in his scene in ragnarok) is showing off, which reeks of insecurity.
i guess i’m thinking… if you take the magic away, loki is still a deadly, formidable opponent with many tricks up his sleeve, but dr. strange is just a guy in a cape.
‘In Thor, I built the character as somebody who is very misunderstood and heartbroken. He’s a younger brother who’s been brought up in the shadow of his older brother. And his spiritual heartbreak has become this kind of scar that’s both internal and external. He’s given free rein to his vengefulness and his hate. I mean, he is comparable to so many of the great villains of human history: who have tried to subjugate people; who’ve tried to rule; who’ve tried to get everyone beneath them.’
The bastard old man is caked! What is it with pre-2010s comics both making him ugly and grotesque, but still caking him up? Why is his butt crack visible through the tunic? lmao xD
This also shows he's smaller than Jotuns and Asgardians.
iron man 2 tony i fucking love you
At the beginning of The Avengers, he’s already the God of Mischief. He knows who he is, he knows what he wants. He doesn’t need his family anymore, he doesn’t need Odin anymore, or Thor. And he is more like the God of Menace. So rather than being a lost Asgardian prince, he’s more like an Asgardian pirate. [x]
FrostIron in What If? Season 2 Episode 8
This is sort of a “Proof that Tony is bisexual in the MCU-based version of Tony from 1602” post.
Here Loki is an actor and Tony is, well, Leonardo da Vinci, basically. Look at the drawings in his barn.
And we know that Leo was dating his apprentice – Salai.
Loki is saying at 20:05 that he “misplaced” Thor’s hammer.
Here, in Tony’s barn, we see something that looks like Mjölnir (7:34).
So, how did it end up there? We’ll never know…
i understand that ragnarock is the funniest thor movie just because,,,,,, it has the most jokes and all of them are hilarious but some of you are ignoring the absolute comedic genius that is thor 1. the entire movie is set off by loki essentially performing a prank on his brother because he thinks he's dumb and doesn't deserve to be king but it backfires so horribly that loki finds out he's adopted from a race of people he was taught to hate and his brother is straight up exiled. and when he tries to talk to his father about this he doesn't want to talk to loki SO much that he falls into a coma and loki becomes king. i cannot stress enough how he just accidentally performed a coup. he literally just played a prank on his brother and ended up on the throne of asgard
