“I don’t start the film with him like immediately gone to the dark side. I think it’s good to see that Loki is genuinely Thor’s brother and there is a complicated relationship there. So that it isn’t just like…he isn’t just an out and out villain. He isn’t all black. (…) I think it’s really interesting to see Loki’s actions from his perspective and he’s just someone who becomes more and more damaged by, I think, a sense of isolation from his family and a sense of…it’s kind of a deep loneliness. I think when the world makes you feel rejected, you bite back. And I think over the course of the film that’s what you see in Loki. He feels continually cast out by different sets of people and his brother particularly and at a certain point he’s pushed too far and he comes back with a vengeance. – TH
@foundlingmother, I’m thinking there are some people who need to be REMINDED of this… But I guess they can always say that Tom Hiddleston’s interviews don’t count as canon (even if other interviews more amenable to their position do) and he’s just biased.
Okay but can I point out my favourite
thing? I mean, first of all Loki’s panicked retreat backwards is my
favourite thing but my favourite thing about that? When he scrambles up
the stairs, he actually lifts up the side of his coat like a skirt so he
doesn’t stumble over it. Such grace.
I also noticed that his fingers grabbed one of his long “bands” from his costume to climb the two steps.
He has already done it in the avengers when he falls to the ground because of Hulk. Like, I remain elegant in any circumstance.
sometimes i forget that thor doesn’t actually have an Australian accent because his counterpart is tom hiddleston as loki who sounds like a deep thought algorithm’s platonic ideal of posh Britishness and in comparison thor no matter how gentle and flowery a script they give him invariably sounds like he’s moments away from turning to the hulk and saying “you’re a big cunt aren’t ye”
