Thor’s last words to Loki are “You really are the worst brother.” Imagine how he must have felt when the ‘worst brother’ saved his life and died. Let that sink in.
– So you have the Tesseract and the Mad Titan came for it.
– And for me. He promised something worse than pain.
– Alright, We’ll fight him!
–
Thor, he’ll kill us both in a few seconds! We need to get out of here. With the cube
I can open the portal!
–
Brother, listen to me: together, we can stop Thanos. We can stop anyone! But if we flee, everyone on this ship will die.
– We can’t! And they are dead anyway!
– Then I will die defending my people. Would you like to join me?
– You… You don’t understand… Thor! Wait!
Please! Don’t…
Okay, I saw that “together we can stop Thanos” little scene and I desperately hope that Thor was talking to Loki… But yes, the chances are really small.
‘I came into this and called Joe and Anthony and said, “Look, don’t write me the old Thor, we’ve got a new Thor now,”’ Chris said.
He was referencing the highly acclaimed shift towards a comedic, self-referential tone he and Taika made with Ragnarok.
But instead of observing his request to keep the character’s newfound mojo alive, the Russo brothers reportedly told him they’d ‘reinvented’ the character once again.
Chris recalled his response: ‘I was like “no, no, no” and I was really protective of what I’d created with Taika.’
They explained that the new direction was in line with the higher-stakes of the Avengers film, and to ensure the character worked well in an ensemble cast.
oh thank the fucking norns
Oh no, Chris is going to have to actually act as a character instead of just playing himself.
I hope by “reinvented” they just mean went back to the character as we’d known him for 4 movies before Chris got tired of pretending he can act.
(This article doesn’t even really make sense because the Russos didn’t write the script, they just directed it; Markus & McFeely were the writers.)
so like, i realize this has probably already been said today, but in case not:
seeing thor be tortured like that just makes me think that loki was probably tortured like that too, u know? 😦
and it’s so upsetting for a variety of reasons. like obv, thor himself being tortured really just feels so, so wrong. seeing him so helpless and out-of-sorts being dragged by his skull… the way his eyes roll back in his head. i’m. just. -incoherent screaming- T_T
and then (assuming it’s the same scene and not disjointed), seeing loki take in that visible breath while he watches it happen like i know exactly how that feels and i can’t do anything to help you
OK, @foundlingmother, @led-lite, @tara-noire – I think the staging here suggests that Loki will spend some time (pretending to be) working with Thanos. See how he’s standing with Thanos’s generals while Thanos threatens Thor and then breaks the cube to get the Space Stone out.
Maybe Loki will claim that he usurped the throne of Asgard so that he could recover the Tesseract for Thanos after he (shamefully) lost it by losing the battle for Midgard. Why Thanos would accept that excuse, I’m not sure… but banishing Odin and posing as him for 4 years is a pretty impressive trick.
