Tom Hiddleston in ‘The Avengers’, (2012). Dir. Joss Whedon.

Something I really love about this shot is the way Loki looks at the scepter for a second right before attacking with it. I can kind of see his thought process throughout the gifs – he arrives, just having come from whatever horrors he’s experienced with Thanos, disoriented, probably very scared on the inside. He examines this extremely powerful weapon he probably has no experience using. He gathers what little strength he has, collects his thoughts, can I really do this, and then he looks up, menacing,

there’s no turning back now, attacks in sudden full-villain mode, and proceeds to continue this way for the duration of the story – mad and murderous and unshakably determined, with terror and agony just barely contained under the surface. It’s one of those little things that shows how lost he is in this film underneath the “big bad villain” exterior.
