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.
