Watch your tongue, mortal. Loki may be misguided, but he is still of Asgard, and he is still my brother.”
“He killed eighty people in two days.”
“…He’s adopted.
I used to be a god, then I took a Hulk to the knee.
Poor Loki…
Loki choose wrong person to bow him :P
Ugh, so good. Stranger/Thor kept hitting me right in the feels.
Ou, they can be a good rp-er :D
why wasn’t Loki invited?!…..
And they all wonder why he feels the need to destroy worlds and be “evil”…
I SHIP ToKi ! (Not to be mistaken with ThorKi)
Actually, to me they look like real bro…. see the beard?
Avengers - Movie Mistake
Tony Stark´s chest plate is glowing.
And in another scene it is off.
not even paying attention to detail XD
Can you? Can you wipe out that much red? Drakoff’s daughter? Sao Paulo? The hospital fire? Barton told me everything. Your ledger is dripping, it’s gushing red, and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything? This is the basest sentimentality. This is a child at prayer. Pathetic! You lie and kill in the service of liars and killers. You pretend to be separate, to have your own code, something that makes up for the horrors. But they are a part of you, and they will never go away. (Slams fist against the glass) I won’t barter Barton! Not until I make him kill you. Slowly, intimately, in every way he knows you fear. And then he’ll wake just long enough to see his good work, and when he screams I’ll split his skull! This is my bargain, you mewling quim!
I don’t know why, but I found this little scene incredibly hot. Am I crazy?
No, you are not….
He’s sad, and I just want to make it all right for him. And you know, sometimes it costs when you sort of have to think yourself into it, into that experiential place. But I’m so blessed because he’s such a rich character, and as an actor, all you want is to play complex people who are as contradictory and shifting as we are.
The Avengers’ Tom Hiddleston Talks The Madness Of Loki, His Hope For Redemption In Thor 2
Loki, as played by Tom Hiddleston in The Avengers, is completely bonkers. Following the events of Thor a movie in which the character discovers that he was adopted, is actually a monster, and tries to destroy and entire world, Loki has lost every bit of sanity within him and that then leads him to try and take over Earth. Amazing as it is to watch, it’s even more fascinating to hear about the headspace that Hiddleston entered and his psychological explanation of the character.
A few weeks ago I had the fantastic opportunity to sit down with Tom Hiddleston one-on-one at the press day for The Avengers and talk about his portrayal of the God of Mischief in the new Marvel movie. Check out the interview below in which the actor discusses Loki’s desire to take over the planet, his self-perception, and how he’d like to see the character experience some kind of redemption.
I don’t know if you remember me from when we spoke during the Thorpress day…
Yeah! Yeah!
I was really hoping to continue our conversation about Loki from a psychological standpoint, because I really think he’s such a fascinating villain. He’s obviously completely off base, but the way his mind works is incredible and I was hoping we could talk about it from that angle. For starters, in this film Loki makes the claim that humans were born to be ruled. I was hoping you could talk about approaching that idea through the character.
It’s kind of an inversion of that, in that Loki is a character who, for his entire life, was brought up with an expectation of entitlement. So he was lead to believe, with Thor, that he was born to rule. He was a prince who would exceed to a position of kingship. And it’s true! Odin says at the beginning of Thor to the young boys of Asgard, “Only one of you may ascend to the throne, but both of you were born to be kings. Loki was obviously born to be king of Jotunheim and he only finds that out about halfway through Thor. But then because of what happens in Thor and the revelations of his lineage and geniality, there is a sense of intense betrayal at the heart of him, and that’s where, as you say, he went completely mentally, psychologically off base.
And, really, he’s a kind of cocktail of psychological damage because he finds out late in life…the narrative of his life story is a lie, that he was, in fact, the bastard child of a monster, the mortal enemy of the royal family of Asgard. He was neglected, left out in the cold, then adopted, then lied to, then betrayed and all of that hardens and calcifies into an enormous anger, sadness and hatred. Basically, the motivation I think is Loki still has his expectation to rule, that that’s his purpose. If he’ll never rule Asgard, if he’ll never rule Jotunheim – because he tried to destroy it – so he’s come down to Earth to subjugate humanity and rule this planet. So if he has nowhere to belong in the universe, he can make the Earth belong to him. Some kind of self-esteem and identity…it’s all woefully misguided [laughs].
I Like Thor More then I Like Loki….
I like both, but more sympathize to Loki. aren’t we all just like Loki deep down our dark heart? Just admit it :>
I took a screenshot of this, instead of reblogging it, because I have a story to tell and I don’t want it to be in chat format.
I’m picky okay.
A few hours ago, I went to Wal-Mart with a friend, and I spent the entire time, and the car ride back explaining to her that Loki wasn’t crazy and he wasn’t a bad guy, he was just misunderstood because he was upset that his whole life was a lie. And when she said that finding out you’re adopted doesn’t make your life a lie, I went into this in-depth analysis about how it does when you’re a Norse god who finds out he’s actually a Frost-Giant, the very thing your dad spent his life fighting, and how the fact that he adopted you when he found you lying alone has double meaning because he was basically the reason your parents are dead, so it’s not necessarily love so much as guilt, even if it did grew to be love. And even though you were raised to be a king, you’re never going to be king, because you have an older brother who is actually a Norse god, and as much love as your father has for you, he can’t have a Frost-Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard, but the fact that you’re a Frost-Giant also makes you a valuable asset in case of a coming conflict (which, let’s face it, with Thor as king is a very plausible idea), so you’re not just a guilt trip, you’re also a pawn. A pawn that doesn’t get hugged enough.
All over that, he is just a victim of situation? hmmm….. way to go my poor Loki….
