SHIT. I hadn’t consciously made the connection between the fact that Loki is always overlooked and ignored when he speaks and the fact that he’s put in that muzzle at the end of Avengers. I always thought that bit was a link to the bit from Norse mythology where he had his mouth sewn up as punishment for teasing some dude (details elude me right now).

But this.

This makes sense.

And makes so many more feels. 

It’s like the ultimate insult to him.

someonecertainly:

I feel like this entire phenomenon of “SHUT UP LOKI NOBODY WANTS TO LISTEN TO YOU”, besides the sort of mean chuckle at his expense that makes me feel guilty, is fascinating. With giant angst potential that explains a lot about how Loki looks at himself and why he snaps.

No, seriously. Imagine that this sort of thing has been going on for hundreds or thousands of years. Whenever Loki opens his mouth to speak, or share an opinion, or make a suggestion, or voice an objection, there’s a good chance he’ll basically get told he’s insignificant or irrelevant or reprehensible or just flat out wrong. Stop talking. Yeah, he’s a manipulative little shit, but seriously. His words are his biggest source of power. He’s not an up front fighter—his forte lies through persuasion and the ability to reason people into the decisions that suit him. And he’s perpetually being told “YOUR ABILITIES ARE WORTHLESS, GTFO WE DON’T WANT YOU”. So even the thing he thought he was good at is being undermined.

Extra bonus points if you incorporate canon mythology and the “sew his lips up” punishment. I mean just DAMN. Physical pain and the approval of his father in that sentence aside, that literally, physically denies his right to assert or defend himself. He completely loses his voice. He’s basically having it hammered home that people would rather not hear him at all, would rather pretend he’s not there, and he can’t even count on his family to disagree.

It’s just unbelievably fucked up.

(Addendum: he had his mouth sewn shut for making a fraudulent bargain with some dwarves.)

Where does this come from?

Euagh! What happened to his teeth?!?!?!! 

I was thinking that too, but chose to believe that it’s just the light.

It’s from Thor’s end-credit scene. Here’s a more clear gif:

It’s not the light. His teeth are bloody. His skin looks like it’s burnt. He is emaciated. It seems like his right eye has blood in it. He is clearly not in a good condition. This is even a worse look than his state at the begining of Avengers. More proof of physical torture at the hands of Thanos and his allies.

I have to stop myself from crying every time I see this Loki. Broken Loki, tortured Loki, a Loki who has been brought to the cliff’s edge of insanity and thrown off. Judging by how short his hair is here, and how long it is in Avengers 1, this end credits scene was not long after he fell. So who knows what further tortures and brainwashing he was subjected to before he was cleaned up and deposited on Earth.

The fact that he smiles, even if it’s a fake ironic smile, it just shows me how beyond sanity he is.

His look here reminds me of Rumplestiltskin played by Robert Carlyle

This scene caused me some trouble in writing my Loki-in-the-Void fic because I didn’t understand how Loki ended up on Earth, if that’s where he was, before he ended up wherever Thanos found him (or vice versa, I suppose), and I also didn’t know how he would have found the Tesseract without Thanos’s help. So I ended up saying this was a projection from Sanctuary, but the reason Loki looks like a beat-up version of himself at the the end of Thor is because Loki has to use the Mind Stone to send the projection that far and it fucks with his self-image, which is what he uses to create the projections. (I swear it kind of makes sense in context…)

New Evidence May Suggest That Loki Survived Infinity War After All

The massacre at the end of Avengers: Infinity War often
gets most of the attention when discussing the movie, but that doesn’t
mean fans have forgotten the major death that kicked off the
bloodthirsty blockbuster. When Thanos attacked the Asgardian refugee
ship the Statesman, Loki bravely sacrificed himself to save his brother, seemingly completing his redemptive arc that began in Thor: Ragnarok.

Seeing as the God of Mischief has fooled us once before in faking his
death though, many Marvel fans aren’t buying that he’s really gone for
good. In fact, one individual has now noticed an easily-missed detail
about Loki’s death scene in Infinity War that might prove that he survived his tussle with Thanos and it’s not just wishful thinking on our part.

Reddit user @Radkarth has pointed out that Loki’s seen to be
right-handed across his many appearances in the MCU to date – anytime
he’s involved in combat, he wields his weapon with his right. However,
he’s used his left hand in two scenes in the franchise: he holds a
dagger in his southpaw during his fake death in Thor: The Dark World and again in Infinity War, when he stabs Thanos

As we know, this version of Loki in The Dark World turned
out to be one of his holographic duplicates, so you could theorize that
it uses the opposite hand to the Asgardian as it’s a kind of mirror
image of him. With that in mind, could the same reasoning be true of his
final scene in IW? We sure hope so, as if the use of Loki’s
left hand is deliberate, it’s a smart, subtle detail that shows a lot of
thought on the filmmakers’ part. And kudos to this fan for spotting the
connection.

Of course, this easily-overlooked detail also gels with the previously-discussed fan theory that the Loki that died in Avengers: Infinity War was
merely a hologram. If you’ll recall, that idea rested on the
character’s apparent selflessness seeming at odds with his personality,
but now there’s some actual evidence to prove it. And with Avengers 4 not arriving until next May, we’ve got lots more time to perfect the theory yet.

Loki: Surprise bitch, I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me.

YES.

It wasn’t a hologram in TDW; if it had been, Kurse wouldn’t have been able to impale him – either the illusion would have dissolved, or the blade wouldn’t have made an impact, like the stuff Thor throws at Loki’s projection in “Ragnarok.” But perhaps more to the point… I just rewatched Loki’s “death” scene in TDW and did not see him holding a dagger in his left hand. When exactly was this supposed to have happened?
