Loki’s wounds should Look Familiar he experienced Thanos’s torutre firsthand when he fell into the void and was found by him and that’s why he looks so sad. He knew exactly what that pain felt like and what Thor was experiencing and he wanted to stop it.
Those injuries may well be the result of torture of some kind, but not the same that Thor experiences. Thanos didn’t have the Power Stone in 2011. It was still on the planet where Quill goes to retrieve it in 2014.
everyone (myself included) keeps making these really awful posts about how peter died in the suit tony made to protect him but it’s really hard to take that seriously now that i know he was wearing a shirt that fuckin says “lettuce, the taste of sadness” under his suit the entire goddamn movie
Loki, about to be taken into custody on Earth: And just who.. are you?
Tony, travelled back in time and just very recently postponed Loki being taken into custody on Earth after giving a hurried explanation: Ah, y’know. Just a regular time travelling joe desperately trying to save the world. Which includes your ass, I might add.
Loki, very sceptically eyeing Tony despite the random aid and explanation: And what makes you think I believe you?
Tony: Nothing. In fact, I expected that. But maybe you’ll believe-
Thor: [shoves Tony out the way]
Tony: Hey-!
Thor: [slams Loki’s body into his]
Loki: [is confused asf]
Tony: [is confused asf, understanding then uncomfortable all within 10 seconds]
Tony: [clears throat then opens his mouth to speak]
Thor, pulls back from hugging Loki in favour of gripping Loki’s neck and staring him in the eyes: He speaks the truth, brother.
Tony, throwing in his two cents before Thor can interrupt him again: See? Not crazy.
Thor: I watched you die. For good.
Loki, thinking how unlikely a scenario it must’ve been given he’s a survivor and trickster above all else: I must have put up quite the fight.
Thor: You… tried to stab him.
Loki: ……That’s it? No magic? Casket of Ancient Winters? Nothing?
Thor: [shakes head from side to side]
Loki: F*cking cinematic universe.
Tony: No kidding. I’m probably going to die this film. Albeit in very heroic fashion, I’m sure. Perks of pioneering the MCU, fan favorite and all that.
Loki: At least you’re allowed your capabilities. I’m a fan favorite as well and yet I’m constantly reduced to the God of Knives.
Thor: Can we stop breaking the fourth wall now, please? I’m not done explaining to Loki there’s a chance he could still be alive because this is his third time fucking dying and though I’d be super pissed I’ll also be elated if he were Banner.
Loki is the Philosopher King
