My favorite thing about this scene, which I didn’t really notice at first, was that Thor actually pushes Loki away from the on-coming hammer. The best thing about it is that he does it while he’s angry (because he realized that Loki manipulated him and probably did something to Odin) yet he still pushed him away because he never wanted to risk his brother getting hurt. It’s so subtle yet so sweet. ❤

Oh interesting, I missed that… I thought Thor just let go and Loki jumped away from the hammer. This is a lot nicer.

Also, if Loki’s skull is split open by Mjolnir, it’s going to be difficult for Thor to question him and find out where Odin is. It may be more practical than sentimental.

Fair point. I mean, I’d like to think there’s more to it than that…

…what if the reason why they didn’t show the hug is because Loki used the opportunity of closeness to Thor to do something dodgy as fuck…?

he definitely stabs him

Naw man, they definitely would have shown that.

Depending on your understanding of “dodgy as fuck,” though, there might have been other reasons they didn’t show the hug…

Everyone is upset that we didn’t get a Thorki hug, but what about The Neck Thing™? That’s way more intimate to me than a hug because it’s a personal thing between them that Thor does to express his love for Loki without speaking. Why didn’t we get that? I would have taken that over a hug any day. :( Or if not that, why not have Thor mention that Loki finally came home, or Loki saying it? That was all Thor asked him to do in The Avengers.

philosopherking1887:

To be honest, I kind of suspect that The Neck Thing™ was one of the things Chris Hemsworth was tired of. It does seem oddly antiquated, characteristic of an ancient warrior culture (though lord knows why it strikes me that way, since I’ve never been in an ancient warrior culture), and they were going for a more modern Thor this time (which sometimes annoyed me). It also reflects a particular kind of dynamic between Thor and Loki: a protective, almost possessive or controlling big-brotherly affection, whereas in Ragnarok Thor was taking a more hands-off approach, both literally and metaphorically. Many of us here in Thorki-land like the possessive dynamic and the ancient-warrior-culture vibe, so we’re into The Neck Thing, but other viewers might find it weird.

@darklittlestories, you missed my Discourse on The Neck Thing™.

A random thought about Ragnarok:

I had a similar thought. It always seemed very deliberate that that is the only time in Avengers we see him use his daggers like in the first movie. Like he wanted to wound Thor more with the memory of how he used to be than cause actual physical harm. (Because hellllllllloooooooo, Asgardian constitution?) But when you add the snake story on top of that… Oh.

Ha, so it was Loki’s answer to Thor trying The Neck Thing™ on him.

“Thanks for bringing up such a painful memory. While you’re at it, why don’t you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?”

Peeps- I’m having ideas about Loki and Heimdall interactions during Loki’s “reign”. Like what happened with Heimdall? What if there was communication between the two? Strained, angry, troubled, angsty, reluctantly bordering on confidante…?

I may have to fic this out

they are trying to keep thinks civil for the good of Asgard. Their meetings are tense and awkward as fuck. Loki doesn’t spend all day fucking about, he actually has some chops. His political instincts are as good as his father’s. He can see through every move and every intention. He only needs to fucking focus and work every now and again, and he will make a good king. Heimdall has experience and vision and keeps him on a very short leash: you shift your ass and do your kingly duties, and no playing silly buggers, and your secret is safe with me and we’ll get along just fine. Their relationship develops into a begrudgingly annoying yet surprisingly effective alliance. Asgard is actually in a period of peace, rebirth, prosperity and splendor like it hasn’t known since Thor’s exile, Frigga’s death, and everything going to shit. Also, this new, rejuvenated Odin is actually more fun than he has been in ages. Asgard is pleased. Heimdall and Loki will always be uncomfortable allies (Loki is a trickster, Heimdall sees all), but somehow it works.

I’m pretty sure Loki-as-Odin exiled Heimdall very early on, purportedly as a punishment for his assistance with Thor’s plot during TDW. I doubt that there was any communication between them at all during Loki’s reign.

DAMMIT

I thought he’d just sent him off to do something. Damn, I really need to see it again.

I think skurge said he’d been banished for conspiring against the crown? Although I could be making that up…

Yeah, I thought that was a reference to the plot in TDW. But it could have been something else Loki cooked up later.

thorkizilla:

Do you know what’s another moment I loved about this movie?  When Loki makes his grand YOUR SAVIOR IS HERE! entrance, this is Thor’s reaction:

He’s delighted to see that dramatic little shit!

It complements the moment that comes not too much later, when Thor finds his lightning powers again and comes raining lightning down on the bridge, Loki does this absolute fucking smirk:

THEY ARE SO DELIGHTED BY EACH OTHER.

After all the years we had to struggle our way through the breaking of their relationship, the losses they both suffered, the cracks to both their foundations, the bitterness and strife that kept wedging itself in between them, literal years of watching them break apart and break apart and break apart.

And this movie could have broken them for good.  But instead it understood that they cannot go backwards, but that does not mean they cannot still go forward. That they can’t both be grow and change and find each other again.

The death of the last of their family might have split them apart, it almost did, but when it really came down to it, they both chose to move on, to be something more, and that allowed them to come back together.

It allowed them to smile when they saw each other again, genuine and real. After all that hurt–when Loki shows up again, their first reaction to the sight of the other is one of being glad to see the other, both of them.

But what if there was some agreement at the very beginning? What if somehow *somehow* Loki convinced Heimdall to keep his secret and help him. They make some sort of deal. But Loki falters or bucks Heimdall’s counsel and finally Loki/Odin exiles him for “treason”.

It’s possible, and you could certainly fic it! I don’t think that’s the most obvious interpretation of what the movie shows, but it would be more interesting.

Sorry if you’ve already talked about this (I saw some discussion going around, but I didn’t pay attention cause I hadn’t seen the movie). The EW article that talked about Steve and Tony’s sexual tension also believes that Thor will be mad at Loki when he discovers that Loki has the tesseract, but I kind of assumed he knew? I mean, he didn’t seem at all worried about Loki getting out, and he knew it was in the vault, and throughout the whole movie he anticipated Loki very well.

I think Thor wasn’t worried about Loki getting out because he had the Commodore (a.k.a. the orgy ship). At the end of the movie we see the little ship perched on top of the big ship in some kind of docking station. I do think that Loki took the Tesseract, but I don’t think that’s how he got out of Asgard before it was destroyed.

Frankly, though, Thor really should have seen that coming when he sent Loki into the Vault. Did he really think that Loki was going to just let the Tesseract go flying off into space somewhere when Asgard blew up?

(P.S. Is anyone else kind of envisioning Thor and Valkyrie doing a Han and Leia at the end of Return of the Jedi?  V: Loki wasn’t on that thing when it blew. T: He wasn’t. I can feel it.)
