These lines are the MOST defining for these characters. Yet they seem to go lost on a large chunk of the audience. Except that Gamora at least acknowledged Nebula’s pain and validated her grievances. Whereas Thor continues to believe that Loki has only ever had ill intentions, and functions primarily to specifically antagonize him. And thus, the general audience continues to believe this as well.

The general audience doesn’t analyse beyond surface level and consequently doesn’t have a cooking clue about this difference. That’s fine, but I wish they wouldn’t tell me to shut up when I notice stuff like this. Because I’m not wrong. I’m just being more observant and critical.

Loki and Nebula are definitely paralleled characters, as are Gamora and Thor. The conflict between Gamora and Nebula is fairly similar to Thor and Loki’s. The difference is that Gamora and Nebula’s conflict was recognized by the writers and fully addressed and concluded, whereas with Thor and Loki it’s been glossed over, and worse, considered concluded when it was really swept under the rug. 

Because of the parallels between these four, I was hoping that Loki and Nebula would have been paired together in Infinity War, since, as the disfavored siblings (and victims of Thanos) they have a lot to discuss. But obviously that didn’t happen, because the writers thought Loki was better off dead than actually concluding the seemingly abandoned arc with Thanos that was started in The Avengers (I’ll guess we’ll see what Part 2 brings us). 

What’s even weirder is that they wrote Gamora and Thor interacting, but not really for the reasons they should have (the parallels). It makes me wonder if the writers even realize that these four parallel each other.

Markus and McFeely are dimwitted hacks who can’t even analyze other people’s comic book movie scripts that well.
