“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…)

“I think I started acting because I found being away at school while my parents were divorcing really distressing,” says the 31-year-old, “It’s only now I’ve got a retrospective angle on it. When you are a teenager, suddenly you start harbouring secrets in a different way. If you are at a boys’ school, especially, there is a level of bravado that you have to keep up otherwise you’ll get picked on. I was really quite upset, and probably very sad and vulnerable and angry. Acting presented a way of expelling those feelings in a safe place.” [X]
