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.
Interviewer: Of all the Avengers, who would you kiss, marry, and kill?
Karen Gillian: Aaahhh! Okay, this is my new favourite question! I’m gonna kiss…. Nebula is gonna kiss… Nebula’s gonna kiss Loki.
Interviewer: Oooh! Why?
Karen Gillian: Because they’re gonna have this connection, because they are both the overlooked sibling. And they’re gonna really connect with each other and then they’re just gonna have a little smooch.
