“I am Loki, of Asgard and I am burdened with glorious purpose.”
Well, I hope he wasn’t still kneeling before Thanos here (who just sent him to Midgard) and was so obsessed about people kneeling to him later bc he learned it from Thanos to do it like that.
@motherhela OMG. OMG I NEVER THOUGH OF THAT. Why did you think of that? – I didn’t think of that and now I’m thinking of that I don’t like it and my heart is hurting. It’s so cleverly thought out that it’s brilliant. But I can’t.
Loki would usually be the last one to take the position of kneeling. But if we look at him here, he actually does it. Another thing we know: Thanos tortured him. We don’t know how. But to see Loki kneeling here, makes me strongly assume it was terrifying for him – as Kevin Feige told Tom when they were talking about how it’s been for Loki when he fell after Thor 1 and met Thanos.
Well and from a psychological aspect it always tends to be the victim (Loki) adapts his abuser‘s behaviour – in this case commanding the people on earth to kneel before him.
@motherhela yes, and then the influence of the mind stone too… I hate that nothing of his experience has been referenced in the films. Well other than when he was with Thor and said
“I’ve seen worlds you’ve never known about. I have grown, Odinson, in my exile, I have seen the true power of the Tesseract and when I wield it Thor…”
then Thor asks, “Who showed you this power? Who controls the would-be king?” And he doesn’t get to an answer because the ‘would be king’ thing hits such a nerve-
Loki “I AM A KING!”
Thor “NOT HERE! You give up the Tesseract! You give up this pointless dream! You come home.”
Loki “I don’t have it. You need the cube to bring me home, but I’ve sent it off, I know not where.“
Thor “You listen well, brother. I– [Iron Man ploughs into him at full speed]
Loki: “I’m listening?”
And that’s it. We never hear any more details and it really annoys me. I wanted to know more about what Loki had seen, but it wasn’t really necessary for the story and- time. But I had hoped it would pop up in another film. (can you remember anywhere else it does?) I love that Tom told us what he thought. He really researches and reads around his characters, thinks through it all. He seemed to build Loki from the inside out, didn’t he, so he would know. I still wish it had been in the films though for others, people who don’t read or watch TH interviews or things about Loki would see it.
I hadn’t considered this possibility either! But I suppose there’s no other reason why he would need to kneel for the transport. I wonder what Thanos’ parting words were? And I also wish we’d had more of an explanation of Loki’s encounter with Thanos in the films. So much to uncover, but so little time in the films. I almost wish they had been created as a top quality television show with more room to explore everything.
Wow this never occurred to me!
Well, in the opening scene of the Avengers we see how Loki is handed the scepter. The time had been passed between the receiving of the scepter, and Loki appearing through the portal has never been stated. This is the shot when Loki is handed the scepter:
(awfully dark, sorry) but as far as I can tell, he is already kneeling. Because look at the way his garments are falling around him. That can only be of his position.
Secondly:
Look at Loki’s shadow. Head down, an subjugated position.
So I think there has been no time between getting the scepter and arriving on earth, and that is why he is still kneeling and so very shaken and dazed by his surroundings.
Only little detail in this theory is that when receiving the scepter is Loki is wearing his helmet, and upon arrival he isn’t…
hey remember that time when loki was a fuckiNG ACTUAL DISNEY PRINCE
NEITHER DO I CAUSE THEY FUCKING CUT IT
Guys, I have a question. I watched Thor and Thor: dark world. But I haven’t saw this scene in this film. So please tell me, where i can see it! I mean, just look at this facu!
