I wonder if Loki thought about when he was falling through the abyss when Strange left him falling for thirty minutes
HOLY SHIT ME TOO
I was definitely bothered that they were being so cavalier about something that’s plausibly a PTSD trigger for him. But I guess he’s over it now, right? Because he was telling that clearly *hilarious* story to his new friends on Sakaar that ended with “and then I let go.”
HOLY SHIT?!
I did not even catch what story he was telling on Sakaar? He was telling them about his suicide attempt? What the fuck?!
From the shooting script (available here, among other places): “There was a wormhole in space and time beneath me. At that moment, I let go.”
New headcanon: Loki is telling the people of Sakaar about something that isn’t his fucking suicide attempt. Let’s say he’s telling them about some adventure he, Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three had where Loki had to save everyone (perhaps he’s exaggerating, perhaps not). Yeah, that sounds good to me.
The best I can make of it is what you and some others have done with the horrible play: call it a really weird coping strategy.
I thought prettying up his story of how he wandered onto literal trash dump planet was a maneuver to charm the locals tbh
Ah, so you thought he was telling it so that the suicide attempt was how he ended up on Sakaar, rather than getting pushed out of the Bifrost? Yeah, I can see how that might be more dramatic and compelling. Still not sure why everyone laughs. Maybe he told it as his escape from a horrible situation, expecting to survive rather than trying to die.

(( 1) This version of the interaction with the fangirls was perfect and a wasted opportunity not to use xD (bless that gif)
2) Hobo Odin, also a wasted opportunity, it’s what fans have been screaming for in comment sections since TTDW came out four years ago
3) Doc making sure that they found Odin, so they’ll go away again, but then leaving cause it’s safe to assume that not much more is gonna happen, now that they’ve found him, just dumping them in norway wouldn’t satisfy Stephen’s thorough careful nature (as a surgeon, and as the A+ student of the mystic arts that he is), it’d be foolish to just lead them to where their father is without making sure to have their reaffirmation that they ARE GOING TO LEAVE NOW (rather than y’know like sit down on a rock on a cliff and have a lil chat about life and death and that long lost sister that has never before been mentionned ever who is very dangerous and also will show up here in like a minute, after Odin’s corpse just fucking evaporates, WHAT KINDA FUCKING CORPSES JUST FUCKING EVAPORATE?? (-actual quote from my AoT rant back in the day xD))
4) having Odin actually have a purpose related to the subject of the movie (which is the event of Ragnarok not the people bringing it about, whoever they might end up being), in that he’s the one telling them about the approaching end, (cause you know he’s the all-father and he’s supposed to like protect Asgard, so if he senses Ragnarok coming, he’ll try to warn people,) rather than Surtur who’s not supposed to have anything to do with the main story at this point, he’s only a random monster Thor fought at the beginning, our audience doesn’t know that he’s got something to do with Ragnarok in the comics, SET UP AND REVEAL, literally the basics of storytelling omfg (*breathes*) ))
hello yes thank you for making everything better I love it
