me: seeing a post where thor fans insult loki and loki fans and say they don’t want thor to ever interact with loki on screen again
and loki fans replying by insulting thor and thor fans and saying they don’t want thor to ever interact with loki on screen again
i think neither of y’all actually understand your “fave” character much do you
I understand the Loki fans’ POV far more, but I still can’t get behind the “Thor has only been bad for him and he should extricate himself from his relationship with Thor entirely” attitude.
I’m just repeating what @illwynd has said before, but: watch how they interact in Thor: The Dark World. Thor trusts Loki, and Loki lives up to that trust. Thor swears up and down that he doesn’t trust Loki, but he’s full of it. Watch his actions. He trusts Loki. That movie shows Thor and Loki working together, fighting together, trusting each other, neither sacrificing his individuality to the other’s demands. Their plan takes advantage of Loki’s distinctive talents: the ability to cast illusions and lie convincingly; the unexpected double-cross. Even his heroic self-sacrifice is very much in his own style: while (apparently fatally) impaled, he has the ingenuity and presence of mind to use his proximity to turn on Kurse’s own black hole grenade.
The mutual trust, the casual bickering, the cooperative strategic use of their complementary abilities: that, we can imagine, is what their relationship was like before Thor’s selection as heir caused his head to swell to the size we see in Thor 1.
