cathartic discussion time for all my loki stans: how the fuck is he going to be killed
Thanos seems to have the Power Stone when he arrives on Earth via the portal. I imagine he uses that. Or perhaps Corvus Glaive skewers Loki with his pike.
And he defo dies protecting Thor in some way. I will accept nothing else (not that I’m accepting it anyways).
that’s such shit though he already “died” protecting Thor and I’d like to think that Thor and Loki are equals and that neither of them should have to die for each other to prove themselves
*raises hands* I agree with you. I also think it would be a massive waste to kill Loki in Infinity Wars. His connection to Thanos would make for an interesting bit of plot, and I wonder if it will be addressed at all with him dead (which he most certainly will be, probably in the first five minutes).
Well, at least if Loki’s connection with Thanos is never addressed/explained, then Abyss will never become defunct (and I don’t have to finish it before Infinity War comes out, which is probably not going to happen anyway).
Okay my prediction is that Loki won’t die. I know that in the promos we’ve only seen him in that one scene, which doesn’t bode well.
But what if it’s because showing him later in the movie would be a spoiler?
Maybe:
– Loki will give the Tesseract to Thanos, but then it will be revealed at the dramatic conclusion that he had a devious plan to help the Avengers all along.
– We and/or Thor will think Loki is dead, but he’s actually alive and working for Thanos, giving a dramatic reveal when Loki turns up for the final battle.
I have about 80% confidence that Loki will die at some point in the movie, but I’m only at 50% that he’ll die in the first 5 minutes.
If Loki does not die in the first 5 minutes, I’m voting for some combination of the options you outline above: Thor (and possibly the audience) thinks Loki is dead, and he appears to be working for Thanos either when he shows up in the final battle or (if the audience knows he’s alive) during the time between his separation from Thor and the final battle. But then at some point in the final battle he reveals that he was planning to double-cross Thanos all along.
Everyone knows I’m very Team “Loki’s-dead-before-the-opening-title-rolls”
but if he does survive I don’t want it to be with Thor ‘seeing’ him die again.If he survives Thanos’s initial battle against the Asgardian Ark, I want Thor to get rocketed to the Guardians’ ship before he can ‘see’ it.
Basically, I’d rather have Thor wonder if his brother is still out there than incorrectly thinking he’s dead…for a third fucking time. Sick of that.
But he’s definitely dead before the titles roll. Mark m’words.**And again…Loki dies in part 3, but there’s some time stone fuckery in part 4 that gives us more screentime…which is fine by me.
I think the BIG death, if they go for another in the finale of the movie, will be Cap. Cap or Tony, but leaning to Cap. I really need to start a deadpool.
**when I say I’m sure, I don’t want to give anyone the impression that I was spoiler hunting, I’m not shitty like that. I’m just narratively sure because it makes sense to me. /end disclaimer.
Oh good point about Thor watching Loki die – that has gotten old. Maybe he just doesn’t know whether he’s alive, as you suggest; or maybe Thor sees Loki give the Tesseract to Thanos, and perhaps even leave in his company, so he thinks Loki has betrayed him again, even more spectacularly than ever before, since he’s (apparently) allying himself with the person who slaughtered the Asgardians.
