“So, I’ve known about that scene for two years.[…] My whole journey through making Thor: Ragnarok — I knew this was coming. By the end of Thor: Ragnarok, Loki has been accepted as Thor’s brother again. When I came to shoot the scene in Infinity War, I think it’s very powerful he calls himself an Odinson, and that closes the whole journey of Loki and what he can do. It [Loki’s death] set the stakes up emotionally. It takes the stakes up dramatically.”  

— Tom Hiddleston

“that closes the whole journey of Loki and what he can do”

Only because Marvel artificially made that the close: made the telos of Loki’s existence consist in dissolving his being into Thor’s; made him a function of Thor, a cog or a symbol in Thor’s journey rather than a person in his own right. He was a person up through TDW. Hiddleston gave him a depth and roundness few of the heroes possess. Marvel decided that wasn’t what they wanted from Loki.

Interviews like this really make it sound like his death in IW was final.

Who remembers this video: Tom Hiddleston Loki transformation?

Published on November 2017. (Read Tom said the filming was in April 2017)

Now someone came with these shots. Check them out. Thoughts? I always thought the video was from Ragnarok!

I’d always thought this was from Ragnarok too. This just makes me sad. Did they film this because it was the last time Tom would put on the Loki wig? 😟

If Infinity War and Avengers 4 were filmed concurrently and this scene was filmed after the sequences in which the Avengers travel back to 2012, that’s entirely possible.

Now if that’s doesn’t spark a Loki movie, I don’t know what will.

I love you for saying this.

“Not enough Loki.” -Rolling Stone

Just casually bringing this back in 2018

how the hell did Marvel manage to completely miss each and every one of these reviews, and even more just like them

YO MARVEL! DUHHHHHHHH! ALL TOGETHER NOW EVERYONE….DUHHHHHHHHHH! IDIOTS! 😠

I will reblog this from here to eternity. ’>_<’

Just a reminder of what was good in TDW and the best part of The Avengers. Marvel carelessly, or petulantly, threw away its greatest treasure because too many people valued it more highly than the cheap flashy toys they were trying to sell. (P.S. is it just me or does Jeannette Catsoulis of the New York Times seem to have a crush?)

I loved CH so much before the whole Thor 3 disaster & I never believed the rumours that he was angry that people cared more about Loki than Thor but now seing him trash talk Thor 1&2 I begin to think these may not be only rumours after all. It’s really disappointing but honestly, Hemsworth may be overselling himself as an actor quite a lot. There are so many big name actors and frankly more talented actors so of course people would care more about them. And it’s no secret TH is a better actor

lokiloveforever:

I’m really disappointed too, I liked him alot too. I definitely see CH in a different light now, and it’s not nice. I think his attitude is gross. I think he only wants to be good at what he cares about, which is comedy, and to hell with emotion, depth and range. But whatever, as long as he’s not bored. I agree with what you said as well.

Wait, I thought Chris just dumped on TDW, not Thor 1. He said the first one was good, right? Maybe in a dismissive way, but still.

The sad thing is I don’t even think he’s that funny. Even in Ghostbusters I was kind of cringing whenever he was onscreen.

I really only liked CH when he and Tom seemed to have a relationship of mutual affection and admiration. It became clear at some point that the relationship was very one-sided. Poor Tom… he seems very sweet and seems to want to see the best in everyone. (Including Taylor Swift, which… c’mon, dude.) I don’t know why Tom thinks Chris is a good actor, other than (1) the desire to see the best, (2) the fact that everyone becomes a better actor when acting opposite Tom, and (3) being a good artist doesn’t make you a good critic any more than the reverse.

Have you seen the leather around Loki’s thumbs in the Ragnorak gif of him throwing knives? It’s so hot.

You mean this?

I have a Gloves issue and a Vambraces issue, so this is kind of an extension of that.  I have no idea why it is appealing.  

Maybe because it highlights the fingers?  

Or because it’s like miniature bondage gear for hands?  

I dunno.  

I think I should stop there.  For my health.  😉

psssst @izhunny come sciece this

pfffh! *whips out clipboard and laser pointer, dons labcoat, pushes up glasses*

There is only art. The appreciation of his hands and the gloves that sometimes cover them…

Tom Hiddleston on Loki

You know one of the things I love about Tom Hiddleston? Sometimes Tom is all like :

“He is a combination of mercurial intellectual ability, emotional ambiguity, charisma and provocative wit. He has a wicked inclination to mischief, underneath which is a well of spiritual pain. Both these aspects are central to his depth as a character : his unashamed and perverse delight in creating chaos and his capacity for raw emotional expression.”

Then sometimes Tom is all like :

“Loki is loco. Completamente loco. People go loco for Loki. Livin’ la vida Loki.”

That may just be the difference between Tom demonstrating his mastery of English and running up against the limits of his Spanish.
