i’m 101% sure that this entire line was improv and tom couldn’t help it
“Yeah, that was basically, we did about six different versions of that story, and that was just us standing around while the cameras were rolling and I would just feed them lines and feed Chris ideas for stories. I’d say, “Do another one, in this one say: ‘I was walking through a field, and I saw a lovey Turkish rug in the middle of the grass, and I love Turkish rugs, so I went to stand on it, and it was Loki, and he turned back into Loki and there was a hole and I fell through the hole was was impaled on a whole lot of spikes.’” So we did versions of that, and the one with the snake just ended up being the one we used.”
I couldn’t help but notice the design of these trousers.
MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER, PLEASE!
I’m talking about the opening.
NUH UH! STOP IT! I SAID STOP IT!
Anyway, being a bit of a history nut buff, I’ve looked as some real and replica garments from the Georgian era and I noticed that Loki is basically wearing Mr Darcy pants, also known as britches or breeches.
Basically, before zippers and button up fly openings, trousers were a lot more elaborate and they fastened around the waist, then a flap buttoned up the front, like so.
So, you know, if anyone’s wondering how to get Loki out of that get up, if you like history and historical garments, you’re welcome.
Also, does this mean Loki is really just Mr Darcy in leather?
(Inspiration: This.image.though.) LOKI REQUIRES A WORSE BETTER SAKAAR MAKEOVER. Hear me out. If you’re gonna have the freaking Grandmaster hitting on Loki, then we’re gonna need to bring Loki’s fashion game up to his level. So while Thor is shunted off to get his hair roughly gladiator-ized, Loki has to suffer and claw through enduring what can only be described as a Sakaarian nightmare version of Dorothy’s Emerald City makeover until he looks like a Mamma Mia reject. Grandmaster LOVES IT. There’s not enough space martini in the nine realms for Loki to cope with it. And when he reunites with Thor, he threatens outright murder if Thor so much as looks at his clicky solid gold booties. Thor does however ‘accidentally’ trip on the excessive train cape once or twice in their escape planning meeting. And now a cut where I tag all the enablers from my previous posts and ship naming voting.
Loki is the Philosopher King
