One of my favourite things about Thor Ragnarok is Hela yelling “we need to get that sword to open the Bifrost” while waving around Odin’s staff, which also opens the Bifrost.
Like, does she not know? She obviously didn’t know about it’s destructive capabilities or she would have kept it with her to use as a weapon and wouldn’t have let Thor grab it. Maybe Odin got the staff after Hela was banished.
And nobody tells her that she already has a tool to open the Bifrost. Not even her executioner, who used to run the Bifrost. They’re all just letting her run around after a sword she doesn’t even need, which if you ask me is GOLD.
man. Remember the first time you watched Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Dir. Taika Waititi and hela asked thor ‘what were the god of again?’ and then it went to loki smirking and you KNEW something good was coming. And then immigrant song started to kick in and the LIGHTING started and you felt your SOUL leave your body and go to another plan of existance. Then Thor desending lighting and all onto that pile of aliens in slow motion looking goddamn RENAISSANCE painting? That moment changed me! the DRAMA! The rest of that scene? Valkyrie, Loki, and Hulk fighting together? Thor’s LIGHTING striking those aliens straight outta there like they were fucking ants? ICONIC! The iconic truly JUMPED out of that movie! Taika Waititi took my hand in that movie, told me it was all gonna be ok and then changed my life FOREVER! That was ART! Mr. Waititi thank you for my LIFE
For those who have not yet felt this experience in all it’s glory (or those who just want to feel it again):
every day I think about how hysterical it is that taika waititi really almost had a scene in thor ragnarok where thor reveals he has “LOKI R.I.P.” tattooed on his wrist like thats. literally so funny how did that get past anyone at marvel there is FOOTAGE of them shooting that scene gjkhdfjkghgf
like let’s unpack this behind the scenes photo:
1. that’s taika’s forearm and and he clearly practiced writing tattoo ideas on his own arm, in ballpoint pen, moments before shooting, and “loki 4 eva” was a rejected idea
2. thor’s tattoo is also written in ballpoint pen
3. chris hemsworth has absurdly well-manicured hands. not relevant to this discussion but it’s worth pointing out
If Hulk can smash Thor around and not even break his skin, what I want to know is what kind of freakin needle can actually bust through that godly epidermis and make a lasting impression on it. These are important questions.
serious answer: skurge, also an asgardian, has head tattoos, so ostensibly there’s some kind of godly tattoo parlor out there
fun answer: thor possibly, in canon, also literally wrote this “tattoo” in ballpoint pen and just kept writing over it whenever it faded because he’s not quite sure what a tattoo actually is
@teckmonky, thought you’d enjoy this if you haven’t seen it yet
so it never did appear in the movie? Because I keep seeing stills and BTS of it, and during the scene it really looks like Thor unfolded his arms with the goal of pulling up his sleeve and displaying the tattoo. The movement is quick and his eyes are going to the right, where his arm would be.
Also, I did the little Loki helmet outline.
I wonder whether this shot (and I’m very ashamed of how accurately I remember this) where Thor says he mourned Loki and Loki says “I’m honoured” was intended as the ‘reaction’ to the “tattoo” scene because:
a) they both look at something off screen that could be Thor’s arm
b) that is exactly the reaction I’d expect Loki to have to something like that, especially if the tattoo had been repeatedly drawn by a very enthusiasticThor with a ballpoint pen
Bruce has set up a makeshift lab in Wakanda, while the world takes stock of their dead and Wakanda mourns for their king. Bruce isn’t doing anything important, but he needs to do something, so he studies Wakanda’s vibranium supply and attempts to keep Shuri busy.
Otherwise, the grief might just be too much for the both of them to bear.
Bruce also tries very hard not to think about Tony and what form of matter Tony may or may not be at this very moment. He’s only moderately successful.
It’s on the third day of the second week after half of the world has turned to ash that Thor brings Bruce a little green snake. Bruce is baffled, but he tried to be polite about it. Bruce is heartsick, though, so that makes everything a little harder.
Then Thor asks for Bruce to see if the snake is Loki, and it takes every bit of willpower Bruce Banner poses to not burst into tears. Thor is so strong and so keen to smile, he makes it so easy for everyone to forget that he has lost nearly everything.
Bruce pokes at the snake without any further complaints. When nothing happens, the grief on Thor’s face is unimaginable.
Bruce begins spending time with both Thor and Shuri, in a desperate attempt to combat his own grief by combatting theirs.
All the while, every second or third day, Thor brings Bruce a small green animal and asks Bruce to see if it his lost brother. Bruce checks every time, with care and precision, but the result is always negative. It’s awful for both of them, but Thor can’t seem to stop and Bruce doesn’t know how to make him.
This pattern holds for a few weeks, until Thor brings Bruce a beaten and battered lizard. It’d been burned somehow and it looked like one of its limbs had been badly broken. When Thor presents it to him, Bruce honestly isn’t sure if Thor had just brought the little thing to Bruce to see if it could be saved.
“Could you check?” Thor asks, the question quiet and hurt after so many weeks of negative results from Bruce’s prodding and poking.
“Of course,” Bruce says softly, adding his portion of the call and response.
He gingerly picks up the lizard, as the poor also looks like he’d been through the wringer, and gives him a quick once over. Bruce’d been right about the broken leg and the burns were pretty –
The lizard fucking turns into Loki. A damaged, burnt Loki who scuttles backward on a broken leg while spitting blood.
Thor bursts into tears. Bruce bursts out laughing. Everyone has their own way of processing grief and shock and grief turned into shock, apparently.
It’s later, when they’ve gotten Loki a little patched up, convinced Okoye not to kill Loki (”He tried to destroy the world!” she says – “He’s gotten better,” Bruce says), and Thor’s eyes were mostly dry, that Loki finally says through clenched, bloodied teeth:
“They’re in a pocket dimension.”
“Who?” Bruce whispers, stunned.
“Everyone. I told him he’d never be a god. He was just a warlord playing at being something powerful. He should’ve fucking listened.”
