“So, I’ve known about that scene for two years.[…] My whole journey through making Thor: Ragnarok — I knew this was coming. By the end of Thor: Ragnarok, Loki has been accepted as Thor’s brother again. When I came to shoot the scene in Infinity War, I think it’s very powerful he calls himself an Odinson, and that closes the whole journey of Loki and what he can do. It [Loki’s death] set the stakes up emotionally. It takes the stakes up dramatically.”
— Tom Hiddleston
I already hate what Taika Waititi, Marvel, etc did to Loki with Thor: Ragnarok.
But this quote makes it sting so much worse. Knowing that Tom knew the entire time while they were treating this character he loves and has poured his heart and soul and intellect into like such trash… knowing he knew that was Loki’s curtain call.
And you know what? I bet Chris and Taika knew, too. And they didn’t give a shit. They had no qualms about making his last significant film appearance a complete hatchet job. Talk about adding insult to injury… or taking the knife that Marvel had stuck in and twisting it around viciously before Tom’s Loki actually died.
Loki is the Philosopher King
