“Loki is the artist and Thor is the quarterback, which was something [producer] Craig Kyle said. If Thor and Loki were on their way back from the pub and someone started a fight, Loki would be trying to think of the best way to avoid fighting and Thor would probably start the fight. There’s a bit of an infuriation at the center of Loki; he is so frustrated by that instinct in Thor. Loki needs him as physical protection, but he resents the fact he’s so hot-tempered, arrogant, and quick to throw a punch.”

This scene to me is maybe Loki’s most tragic moment in the movies. Because it’s one of the few times we see Loki entirely alone, not putting on a show or lying to anyone, so his panic and heartbreak are real.  And he reaches out to Odin – and it’s the reaching out that gets me, that moment where Loki hesitates to touch him – and then he when does dare touch, he almost immediately pulls his hand away, and maybe it’s just shock, but also – Loki was just holding the Casket, has just found out what he is; and he knows what a frost giant’s touch does to Aesir.  He’s scared to touch his father, scared that he might freeze him, hurt him further.

(The original script had him holding Odin, but this – this says so much about Loki, about what scares him, how frightened he is of his own self, and what damage he can do…)

Rereading Is Thor a Feminist Movie? (Yes) this week over at the Social Justice League made me want to draw a billionty pictures of Jane and Darcy blowing the Bechdel Test out of the fuckin’ water. I loved Thor from the first time I saw it, but this little article makes me love it more and more every time I read it. Or maybe feel increasingly justified in my love. Either way – Branagh you beautiful beast, thank you for subverting the superhero genre in so many wonderful ways.(alsothankyouforLoki)

I also love that fandom has decided that these two are this wonderfully compatible odd couple – looking out for each other and being awesome friends. So yeah, Jane & Darcy pre-Thor, just bumming around in their comfy sweaters, drinkin’ coffee and eatin’ poptarts, talking about science, movies, the internet, whatever. Just like real women.

I friend!ship these two so hard. Seriously though, can we come up with a better feminine form for ‘Bromance’ than ‘Homance’?
