I don’t want to be that person, but I will. Maybe I understand now why Thor loves Get help so much. He’s blatantly checking out Loki’s ass in this scene.
Loki used to transform himself into Thor’s fave animals so Thor would pick it up and hug it ohmygod i can’t handle that revelation
well Loki would then turn back into himself in Thor’s arms shout “surprise it me!” and stab Thor but yeah thank you for this information i welcome my death now
Thor loves snake. Loki is a total snake. Ergo Thor loves Loki.
I’ve often wondered how Odin and Frigga passed Loki off as their child when it had to have been obvious that Frigga wasn’t pregnant a second time. One option I’d idly entertained in the past was that Odin brought Loki back just as Frigga was giving birth to Thor and they’re like “WOOPS LOOKS LIKE IT WAS TWINS”…but they still called Thor the “firstborn” because one of the twins had to have been born first…and I bet Thor would really rub it in and call Loki his little brother all the time…and Loki would be gritting his teeth like “BY SEVEN MINUTES YOU OAF.”
Also, if that was true, the kind of ironic thing would be Loki may actually have been born first.
ANYWAY.
Pointless (probably wrong) speculation, brought to mind again by that bit of dialogue. 😀
I’m sorry but “This Is the End” destroyed any possibility that I could ever take Surtur seriously onscreen because this was all I could think of whenever he showed up:
I’ve been seeing a lot of remarks, especially in post-Ragnarok hug fic, suggesting that Thor thought Loki was dead after Surtur destroyed Asgard. When I watched it the first time, I was confused and seriously bothered about why Thor didn’t wait to see whether Loki had gotten out before he, Valkyrie, and Hulk jumped onto the big ship. Before Hulk shows up again after fighting Fenris, Thor and Valkyrie are talking like they think this was a suicide mission: “At least our people have gotten to safety.” But when Loki takes the little ship to go dunk Surtur’s crown in the Eternal Flame, he doesn’t look or sound like he thinks he’s going on a suicide mission.
Probably more tellingly, the way they play the “I’m here” moment, it definitely seems like Thor is testing whether Loki is an illusion, not a hallucination. I mean, a hallucination might still have seemed to catch the bottle stopper – though maybe Thor would have heard the clunk of it hitting the door? But as a follow-up to earlier moments, it only makes sense if he’s testing to see whether it’s an illusion; and Thor’s reaction of relief is definitely more appropriate to “Loki didn’t fuck off by himself” than “Loki isn’t dead.” So I’m guessing we’re supposed to think that Thor was trusting Loki’s strong self-preservation instincts and assumed that Loki got out in the little ship (the Commodore?) and just went off somewhere to make his fortune on some other planet. He’s pleasantly surprised that Loki came back to help him take responsibility for the homeless Asgardian people, not that he survived.
Unfortunately, that was not made very clear in the movie, and I was hearing other people around me asking “What happened to Loki?” It would have been really disturbing that Thor didn’t seem to be worried unless he was just very confident that Loki would find a way out but wasn’t expecting him to come back for other reasons.
I really think there was a missed opportunity for a mid-credit scene in Ragnarok where Thor goes back to his room to have a nap, pulls back the bed covers and there’s this snake just chilling under them. He’s like ‘Haha Loki I’m not falling for that again.’ But Loki enters through the door and is all ‘What are you talking about?’ So Thor picks up the snake to show Loki but of course, the snake is actually Loki so he transforms back into himself and then punches Thor in the nose or something less aggressive idk I’ve been emotionally crippled by these two someone send someone
Loki is the Philosopher King
