Mr Waititi totally reads fan fiction. He can’t deny it because we’ve seen the proof (not that I think for one second he would actually deny it).
Also on Sakaar – Loki was surrounded by ladies there as well when Thor arrived. Once again telling a charming story and basking in the admiration of beautiful women.
At first I thought it was a bit smallminded to portray him that way, as being surrounded only by females when he is canonically (and possibly MCU-ically as well) genderfluid – but since he’s wearing the countenance of a handsome male, it makes sense. And then I thought, so where are the men who would likewise find this gorgeous male specimen attractive? And in walks the Grandmaster to fill that role.
And boy did he lol
I think they did okay by Loki. But yeah, whoever wants to feed him grapes and worship him is fine by him, he really doesn’t care about the specifics…it’s the adoration he’s in love with 😉
Did you hear the last line of that story on Sakaar? “And then I let go…?” Or similar. I think he was telling his own story of what happened in the first Thor movie. 😀
I’m glad he’s getting it off his chest lol
Yep. His tone of voice and smug, charming grin seemed to indicate he was putting a light spin on it as well, like hey, listen to this brave and awesomely cool thing I did. I wasn’t about to be caught dead going back to those dipshits so rather than let my brother, who was sobbing like a baby, pull me back up…I just…let go.
He’s obviously still got deep seated issues linked to that event and the events that led up to it. Poor guy. But yeah, talking about it to strangers in a manner that evokes ooohs and ahhhhs from them is probably good for him. Anonymous therapy 😉
I’d really like to see that explored (or maybe explore it in fic myself) – I found it extremely strange that he was telling that story in a way that invited laughs.
I thought I didnt hear let go, I thought he said something about a worm hole and then just was playing off how damn nice it was to wind up on Sakaar. I remember hearing it that way because it reminded me of Jack in Titanic explaining how he wound up at the rich people’s table XD (IS THAT REFERENCE TOO OLD? Tell me it’s not)
I definitely heard “and then I let go.” I was shocked the first time and thought I might have misheard it, so I listened carefully the second time and heard the same thing. He might be relating that as part of how he ended up in luxury on Sakaar, but it’s a weird thing to laugh about…
Loki is the Philosopher King
