#mcu brodinson edit#fandom: marvel#gif#reminder that this is the first thing thor says to loki#and that’s why loki’s convinced that thor’s only here for the tesseract#no matter how much thor begs him to come home#it’s all just because he needs the tesseract#is what loki tells himself#like obviously we know thor loves loki and wants him to come home#but loki doesn’t know that#at all (via @foundlingmother)
Of course this is an irrational assumption, and we all know that. But Loki is (1) severely depressed, which leads him to believe that no one really loves him and to seize on any evidence that could be construed to support that belief; and (2) under severe pressure from Thanos to retrieve the Tesseract, which means he has to fight Thor, which means that he’s strongly motivated to find any reason he can to want to fight Thor.
