“Every time I play Loki, and this is a source of constant surprise and delight to me, is that people love him so much. And I think it’s because people can relate to him in some way. He’s an outsider. He’s a misfit.”—Tom Hiddleston
I was thinking that too, but chose to believe that it’s just the light.
It’s from Thor’s end-credit scene. Here’s a more clear gif:
It’s not the light. His teeth are bloody. His skin looks like it’s burnt. He is emaciated. It seems like his right eye has blood in it. He is clearly not in a good condition. This is even a worse look than his state at the begining of Avengers. More proof of physical torture at the hands of Thanos and his allies.
I have to stop myself from crying every time I see this Loki. Broken Loki, tortured Loki, a Loki who has been brought to the cliff’s edge of insanity and thrown off. Judging by how short his hair is here, and how long it is in Avengers 1, this end credits scene was not long after he fell. So who knows what further tortures and brainwashing he was subjected to before he was cleaned up and deposited on Earth.
The fact that he smiles, even if it’s a fake ironic smile, it just shows me how beyond sanity he is.
I didn’t want to come online, I didn’t, but I did and this is what I get, and now I feel even more sick, it’s just as bad as IW. Just thinking about what he had to go through makes my stomach turn and breaks my heart.
You: He’s Loki! The GOD of MISCHIEF and LIES! You mean to tell me you thought he had a showdown with a magic glove yielding grape and all he brought to the fight was a knife?!?! He’s brought more dangerous stuff to bed!
Thor:
Valkyrie:
Bruce:
You: Anyway… that’s the tea on why Loki wasn’t dead, go off if you want.
Loki: *wrapping his arms around you from behind* I did leave you several hints, Thor.
Agreed!
“He’s brought more dangerous stuff to bed” I AM SCREAMING x’D
