Thor is a movie about a dude taking the news he’s adopted very badly.

Okay, but no, seriously. I think the reason Loki resonated with basically fucking everyone - despite being such a little shit - is (in addition to Tom Hiddleston’s fucking face), is that he is obviously in so much goddamn pain throughout the entire movie. He’s fucking crying as he’s goading Thor into a fight.

Loki’s probably spent his… entire life feeling inferior to Thor because his talents lay in magic and illusions instead of beating the ever-living shit out of things with a hammer, feeling different for reasons he can’t entirely understand. So then he grows up, and finally discovers why, and it’s a reason he has no control over - it’s something he can’t change, he’ll always be a frost giant, and so he’ll never, ever be equal to Thor or even his father’s son, not really. And it’s kind of incredibly horrifying, too, because Loki was right to think Odin had to have a reason, because the fighting was over; he had no reason to steal a baby; the only reason Odin took Loki was because he thought he would be useful in the future. And Loki is small; in the comics Laufey had hidden him away because he was ashamed his son was a runt, so even among the frost giants Loki would have always been inferior.

And the way I see it, Loki didn’t expect the thing with the frost giants to go as far as it did, and so he ends up in a situation he wasn’t altogether prepared for (or even wanted), right after he finds out all of that. He’s in an incredibly fucked-up spot, mentally, so he kind of loses it and concocts an equally fucked-up plan as a last-ditch effort to prove that he does belong in Asgard, that he’s just as good as his brother. And by the time Thor shows up again, it’s all gone to hell, and Loki knows it, and he’s just making an increasingly desperate series of really poor decisions. And then he ends up hanging off the end of a staff over a wormhole, and suddenly he can do nothing but face the truth he’s been trying to deny since even before he discovered the frost giant thing: that he would never, ever have been as good as Thor in the eyes of his father, or anyone else in Asgard. And so he lets go, and after everyone is finished bawling their goddamn eyes out for the little shit, and he shows up in Avengers, he’s had a very unpleasant trip through a fucking wormhole of his own making, with plenty of time for that bitterness to turn to hatred, and if he would never be as good as Thor, why not just fucking embrace it?

And the worst part is even if Loki hadn’t turned out to be such a complex character, I still would have liked him more than Thor. He’s smart and talented and powerful: he was different, but not inferior, and that alone should have made him special. But because he grew up in a culture that valued strength over everything else, he was always second best, always inferior, doing “tricks” instead of fighting. And that is fucking awful.

i cannot…the feels…*dying*

I needed this back on my blog.

…I can’t.  I have so many Loki feels, so many words, but I can’t even conjure them properly after this post.  (I mean, look at the end of the second gif’s loop… the pain breaks through all of his anger.)

I agree.  Even though I do have Thor feels, too.  I mean, it’s not his fault that he had to be who he was to be valued by Odin.  Keep in mind… that’s his ONLY THING.  That’s all he’s got.  He’s not particularly smart, he’s not the best people-person, he’s just a guy with a hammer and a mean swing. If he doesn’t have his strength, he’s got nothing.  He’s not even himself.  Look what happens when he’s sent to Earth without it and can’t get it back, hm?  The guy fuckin’ breaks.

Oh, Loki…  Oh, Thor… 

Why.

#ugh this scene kills me #because you know if iron man or thor or cap did it they would spring up just fine and be on their merry way #but clint #you don’t see clint for another ten fucking minutes in the movie#he’s probably laying there in dire pain for most of it #LIKE UGH #he knows he’s only human but that never stops him from being extraordinary and I just #let me kiss your face you perfect character thanks

#Seriously though #Clint is a BAMF #but he’s also a human being #and he’s also wanting to make up for having been the bad guy for like an hour or more of the movie #If he didn’t have red in his ledger before he’s got it now #and he’s too determined not to fix that shit straight away

Because of him!

#oh ok let’s make thor feel even more guilty

That’s right. Thor already feels guilty. I bet he feels guilty about Loki’s madness. I bet he feels responsible for it. Then the fucking Shield makes weapons and blames Thor for it. I think he already has enough to blame himself. You don’t need to point your finger in his face.

Poor Thor… He could help his brother destroy the world because he sure has the power to do so. But instead, he’s helping defend a realm he doesn’t even live in because he loves earth and humans and it’s not his fault Loki went mad, so Shield, you deserve a big slap in the face for making Thor feel that way.

Exactly. I guess no one in the group really gives the true value to the effort that Thor made to fight his own brother. His own brother. Nobody seems to care how much he must be suffering, how confusing is his head. Look at the efforts he made and he’s so hurt, so tired. But he never gives up on doing what is right, even if it kills him inside. Even if it means losing his brother forever. In my opinion, Thor is the greatest hero of all.

I agree with all of those comments so much.  I think it is taken for granted how much Thor has to put up with and deal with just because his life looks to be a lot better.  He didn’t ask to be put up on a pedestal by his realm, and sure it went to his head for a bit, but he was effectively humbled.  He is trying his damnedest to fix everything, and a lot of it wasn’t even his fault.  Odin and Laufey played a part too, and so did Loki himself.  But anyway, yeah, what should have been said was other-worldly wars, and not just point to Thor himself.  Because then Fury explains himself, and it’s like well if that’s what you wanted to say you should have just said it and not blame the god who is there to help protect your realm when he honestly doesn’t even have to be there.  

Casually reminding everyone that this is the scene where Loki is manipulating everyone to be douchebags via the infinity gem. Of course, Fury is kind of a douchebag naturally, so that might be all him. I can’t quite tell. XD

AMEN TO ALL YE GOOD FOLKS WHO ARE BACKING UP THOR

Also let’s not forget the fact that he is still treated like an alien, as if he hadn’t done enough for Midgard yet, fighting his own beloved brother to save earth, AND LET’S ALSO NOT FORGET the following scene where Fury asks him if he can make Loki tell them where the tesseract is, and if he’s prepared to interrogate -more like torture, the word “pain” is mentioned twice- his brother in order to get information about the tesseract. And on top of that, Shield is blaming Thor about building mass destruction weapons too?! geez.

Seconding chocolateisforever, here.  Yes, that scene was being master-manipulated by Loki with his staff, but AFTER that, Thor gets railroaded by Fury.

Now, I love Fury… and that’s just his way, manhandling things and pushing what needs to be pushed…  But Thor is already dealing with so much just BEING THERE, just HAVING TO GO to Earth chasing after his brother.

I mean, goddamn… look at him on top of that cliff when he first steals Loki out of the SHIELD plane thing.  He’s BREAKING INSIDE at how Loki isn’t the brother he knows and loves, at the madness in him, and the pain he knows still lingers in his heart no matter how frozen-over he makes it seem.

Geezus, Tumblr.  Thor feels all over again.

Pain is in the mind

Every time I watch this, and see that face, and hear that scream… I get so many Arthur feels and just wanna cuddle him close.

…My girlfriend, on the other hand, sits there smirking because boys in pain make her all excited.
