Thor got buzzed by that disk thing how many times in this movie. At least four if not more. Yet I keep seeing posts about thor torturing loki by setting it off on him so he could get back to asgard? Like I don’t get it and I love Loki. Thor didn’t do anything wrong, cruel or mean. And he knew damn well that loki would get out of it. There is like a list a mile long of things loki has done to thor so I just don’t get the thor bashing. They had a great sibling interaction in this movie. And I think it was made clearer than ever that no matter how they might fight or annoy each other, they are brothers and they love each other as such.

Exactly! I don’t see the big deal. But I’m not one to talk, I nearly electrocuted my sister when I was a teenager, not on purpose but I rather enjoyed it.

Here are my problems with it (and note that I don’t hate Thor; I’m just troubled by this specific action):

1) Thor didn’t know how long it would take for someone to happen along, and it did seem to take a while. Thor got shocked several times, but only for a few seconds each time. Loki was being shocked continuously for at least 10 minutes.

2) Thor also didn’t know who would be the first to come along. Luckily it was Korg and he’s a humanitarian, so of course he’s going to turn the thing off. If it had been the Grandmaster, he probably would have turned it off to give Loki a chance to explain himself, and Loki could almost certainly handle him. But what if it had been Topaz? She might have killed Loki while he was still incapacitated. So Thor was taking a major gamble with Loki’s life, in a way that Loki wasn’t when he dropped Thor out of the Helicarrier in The Avengers – he knew Thor could use Mjolnir to get out.
