Scene from ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ (2017) // This is such an important moment for Loki. A LOT of Ragnarok posts coming up over the week people.

I have such a love/hate relationship with the trope of a father figure announcing a blanket “I love you” to a formerly estranged child. Because really? It brings nothing, solves nothing and helps nothing after decades of conflict that the parental figure was mostly directly responsible for. And yet I know I’m supposed to have warm feelings about it because I’m being fed the standard shortcut trope to insta-family love and it’s an improvement over “your birthright was to die” -which was the last conversation Odin had with Loki prior to this gifset.
