I’M LAUGHING BECAUSE IT’S TRUE.

Loki, I love you, boo, but you’re never going to be the worst anymore, sorry big sis has that covered.

I love this on a LOL level but I also love it in the sense that, while Loki will still have issues, it will give both him and Thor breathing room to realize things are not as bad as they could be.  Loki doesn’t have to feel like he has to live up to being this monster he’s painted up as how he thinks his family sees him, he can settle more into a middle of the road trickster type.

Thor has dealt with so much shit by this point, has lost so much and seen so much violence and evil from others, can look at Loki and not see him as the worst kind of betrayal ever, either.  He’s always wanted to believe in Loki, wishes he could trust him, but he’s come to a point where he recognizes who he himself has grown into, that he’s grown up a lot, he’s grown into more than he used to be, and if Loki comes along, Thor will be so glad to have him there, but if not, he knows that he has the strength to carry on.

Loki can realize, hey, he’s not the only one in a shitty situation, that it sucks when someone who should be your sibling just wrecks everything because they’re being an asshole, that he can understand much more of what Thor’s been through and what he’s going through.  That he wasn’t the only one who was lied to–yes, it gives Thor new understanding, but it also gives Loki new understanding, that he’s not the only one who’s been hurt.

I love it because they can always think of Hela and go, yeah, okay, we have our problems, but at least we’re not The Actual Worst Shittiest Odinkid as dark humor, but also that, yeah, it gives them both perspective that lets them grow. And that’s why I love the ending of the movie–maybe it’ll stick, maybe it won’t, but I wouldn’t have thought it possible with the road they were on before and yet!  Now I do.

I love it because, hey, don’t be a rerun of Hela, Loki.

Be something different, be something more.
