It totally works b/c it seems like Loki considers that a fond memory. We rarely see Loki smile a genuine smile, so I loved this.

[–]Naught 1428 points1429 points  (88 children)

I used to be bothered by Loki trying to "kill" Thor, but their reactions to this story reminds me that they're both gods. Stabbing a god is probably equivalent to a dickish prank for them.

[–]BachInABlender 870 points871 points  (0 children)

With their durability, yeah. "Fuck you, Loki, this was a new shirt!"

[–][deleted] 504 points505 points  (48 children)

I wonder how many times Thor "accidentally" electrocuted Loki...

[–]SilverStryfe 574 points575 points  (34 children)

Enough to make him fear thunderstorms in the first Avengers movie.

[–]Baneken 26 points27 points  (1 child)

So would you be if your favourite attire includes a metal helmet with giant metal horns sticking out from the forehead...

[–]HH_mmmTony Stark 94 points95 points  (3 children)

We are not doing get help

[–]AceAssistantIron Man (Mark VII) 57 points58 points  (2 children)

Aw but you love get help

[–]insane_continHunter 63 points64 points  (1 child)

No I don't, it's humiliating

[–]MatttheBruinsfan 90 points91 points  (4 children)

You know before the first movie Thor was totally the type to choke people out in headlocks and give them the Asgardian equivalent of swirlies all in the name of "friendly pranks."

[–]boxingdudeAvengers 44 points45 points  (3 children)

Yes, you could tell that Hulk was already used to rough play with Thor in Ragnarok. “Thor sad” (knock him over)

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (2 children)

Im not sad you idiot im pissed off!

THOR SAD!

[–]Highside79 214 points215 points  (28 children)

The Marvel versions of Loki and Thor are sometimes surprisingly consistent with their mythological roots. Loki does REALLY horrible shit all the time, but there are some reasons why he is always permitted to stay with the Gods: He is one of them and that is just the way it is, They are all gods anyways so nothing he does is all THAT harmful to them, As often as he does something horrible he also does something really awesome or at least his shitty pranks have a good outcome for the gods (this part doesn't come out in the comics or MCU much).

[–]Echo__227 77 points78 points  (16 children)

Yeah but also, like, didn't he kill Baldor or something?

I seem to remember him putting a leaf on an arrow when all the gods were having fun shooting arrows at the guy (because he was invincible) but the leaf killed him

[–]Highside79 90 points91 points  (3 children)

Yes, but since they are Gods you could just go visit Baldor in Hel. Also, at least according to Gaiman's Norse Mythology, that is generally considered to be the worst thing that Loki does.

[–]l3radrocks 20 points21 points  (2 children)

Except, you know, lead the armies of Hel against the gods destroying humanity, the gods, and the world itself.

[–]Benjosity 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Dude, spoiler...

[–]Osric250 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that's not something he's done, just something that he will do in the future.

[–]FashionMogulEdnaMode 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Baldur was the favourite, and Loki killed him.

MANY stories later, Loki decides to let people know he was responsible.

This was, by all accounts, a terrible idea.

[–]Schuldrich 57 points58 points  (2 children)

He got Hod, who was blind, to throw the one thing that could hurt Baldur at him. Killed him on the spot. He also refused to weep for Baldur after Hel agreed to release him if everyone wept. If I remember correctly, Baldur's death was an omen of Ragnarok as well meaning Loki pushed Ragnarok forward.

[–]superman853 25 points26 points  (3 children)

Baldor was immune to all harm from everything except the mistletoe. So the gods would have a game in which they would try to harm Baldor with different objects when one day Loki found out about the mistletoe being the one weakness and tricked another god (I believe was blind, the other god can’t remember his name) into shooting a mistletoe arrow at him.

[–]EkoZulu 12 points13 points  (2 children)

That explains why Freya is so pissed about those arrows in the new God of War!

[–]DuntadaMan 26 points27 points  (2 children)

One of the favorite theories I heard about people who study viking legends for why Loki is kept around is that the Aesir specifically keep him around as a force to battle stasis.

THey are nearly invincible beings locked in eternal battle with other nearly invincible beings. Except for Odin and Freya pretty much all of them are unchanging all through their stories.

Ragnarok is a hing that has not happened yet, but is an inevitability of what WILL happen if the Aesir stay their course, and again except Freya and Odin all of them can only stay their own course.

In comes Loki. Loki is is constant force of change and chaos. There is a good chance that Ragnarok will still go as the story tells, but if there is any hope at all that it will not happen as Odin has seen it, it is in Loki. Maybe he will be able to change the Aesir and steer them from the course, maybe, MAYBE because of him things won't play out the way Odin has seen them. That is why he is tolerated if not loved, because he is their only hope.

[–]Hekantonkheries 10 points11 points  (1 child)

The first true Anti-Hero?

[–]Prydefalcn 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Worth noting that Loki wasn't really one of the gods, but he was a close associate. His true parentage is of less relevance in Norse mythology than in the Marvel universe, but it's still worth noting.

[–]Hekantonkheries 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Reading off all the different kinds of divines, semi-divines, spirits, primal entities, etc of Norse Mythology and how they factor into the lineage of the Pantheon, is like reading a dynastic history of Carolingian Europe written by Dr Seuss

[–]Afalstein 79 points80 points  (4 children)

Thor mentions it as a time Loki tried to kill him, and Loki has killed many people with stabs (tried to kill Thanos). But in Thor 1 we saw that Thor trusted Loki. So perhaps Thor prior to getting cast out of Asgard saw all of these as harmless pranks, and only later considered them to be genuine assassination attempts.

[–]Highside79 166 points167 points  (2 children)

Nah, Thor is only worried about Loki's conduct now because Loki has become a threat to much more fragile mortals who Thor DOES care about. Trying to kill Thor is just good fun and games, even to Thor, but trying to kill puny mortals is unacceptable.

[–]TannenFalconwing 64 points65 points  (1 child)

Basically "he can stab me because I can take it"

[–]metalkhaos 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He's "my asshole little brother"

[–]gelite67 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right. Just like Loki wasn’t really trying to kill Thor in Avengers when he stabbed him on Stark Tower. Barely an inconvenience!

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well in avengers one final battle thor was literally fighting with a stab wound from loki.

It didnt even seem to slow him down after he perched on top of that building for a while and shot lightning non stop at space hole.

So yeah. Im guessing he probably healed that off in a few minutes like in the movie.

[–]AGOTFANRocket 1537 points1538 points  (54 children)

Totally. It also shows growth in Loki's personality as well as their relationship.

[–]discerningpervertWinter Soldier 815 points816 points  (32 children)

Thor Ragnarok did more for their relationship than the previous 3 movies they were in together combined.

[–]ProserpinaLuis 610 points611 points  (22 children)

I dunno. That prison cell scene after Frigga’s death in TDW was pretty heartbreaking, IMO.

Still, you’re probaly right. Just the elevator scene in Ragnarok was some of the best character development for them both that I’ve seen in the entire MCU, pre-IW.

Edit: lol, pre-IW, not IF. XD

[–]discerningpervertWinter Soldier 117 points118 points  (8 children)

You're right, I'd totally forgotten about that scene

[–]goldenboy2191T'challa 327 points328 points  (3 children)

“Let’s do ‘Get Help’”

“No I hate that one”

[–]pinklavalampMaria Hill 208 points209 points  (2 children)

Then later: “I’m not doing ‘Get help’.”

Hilarious movie.

[–]BakulaSelleck92 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Twas indeed hilarious

[–]boxingdudeAvengers 111 points112 points  (2 children)

Also the fact that Thor stuck the electronic buzzer on Loki’s back without Loki (or the viewer) knowing. It definitely showed that Thor was finally onto the god of mischief.....

[–]TanJeeSchuanNick Fury 47 points48 points  (1 child)

Have you ever not fallen for that?

[–]Lockedoutofmyacct 28 points29 points  (1 child)

I also liked the scene in Thor 1 where Loki visits Thor in SHIELD's interrogation cell, cause it looks like he genuinely feels bad- of course not bad enough to let go of his plan.

[–]sai-tyrus 142 points143 points  (7 children)

I cannot stop watching this movie. It’s easily become my favorite Marvel film. Hell, Thor has become one of my favorite characters. I would LOVE another Thor movie with all the cast and crew from this one. It’s just so good.

[–]Poprawks 107 points108 points  (5 children)

You might have to settle for half.

[–]GunwalkHolmes 411 points412 points  (20 children)

His cheeky smile after dropping the Odin charade in the beginning of Ragnarok looked pretty genuine too.

[–]LiteralPhilosopher 119 points120 points  (7 children)

I have a real love for scenes like that, where one character is supposed to be inhabiting another's body. When they're well done (and frequently they are), I have to remind myself "Oh, that's right, that's just Sir Anthony acting like Tom (acting like Loki)."

Being John Malkovich is another great one for that ... at one point or another, he basically has to be all the other characters, and he does it phenomenally.

[–][deleted] 37 points38 points  (2 children)

I've always wondered why actors don't get credits for that especially if it's for a significant amount of time. Like in X Men why doesn't Peter Dinklage also get credited as playing Mystique?

[–]mwcopeSpider-Man 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You know what? This is a good question. I can't imagine it hasn't come up, and I bet the answer is something something actor guild or whatever.

[–]ilion 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I went into that movie expecting a comedy. It... was not.

[–]LokisPrincessLoki (Thor 1) 81 points82 points  (9 children)

Tom I'm sure could make anything look genuine honestly.

[–]falconx50Iron man (Mark III) 73 points74 points  (8 children)

ACTING!!

[–]LokisPrincessLoki (Thor 1) 20 points21 points  (6 children)

Is he though?

[–]FashionMogulEdnaMode 24 points25 points  (5 children)

Listen, if Tom Hiddleston is the real avatar of Loki, I have a great many questions about the whole Slepnir debacle.

[–]SkollFenrirson 10 points11 points  (3 children)

I want to know about Fenrir. How did that work?

[–]IcarusBenSpider-Man 18 points19 points  (2 children)

When a god loves a G O O D G I R L E very much...

[–]qu3soo 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Ahhh brotherly love

[–]Rough_Dan 2202 points2203 points  (136 children)

I love ruffalo in all these scenes, I can never tell of they told him they were filming or not, his reactions seem genuine and out of place at the same time.

[–]Grumblefloor 630 points631 points  (35 children)

I'm not even 100% convinced he knew he was in a film, he seemed so perplexed.

[–]BlackNova0604 879 points880 points  (83 children)

Yeah ragnarok really made me enjoy Banner as a character a whole lot more. Ruffalo killed it I think!

[–]aishik-10xMatt Murdock 417 points418 points  (78 children)

I want a Hulk movie 10x more than I did before I watched Ragnarok.

I know it's not possible because of scumbag Universal, but hopefully they'll keep expanding his storyline through other movies.

[–]BlackNova0604 416 points417 points  (6 children)

When my girlfriend and I saw Ragnarok for the first time she said "I like how they gave the Hulk his own story too because I just don't want a whole Hulk movie but I like seeing more of him

[–]aYearOfPrompts 220 points221 points  (5 children)

I want more buddy cop team ups in superhero movies. We either get one primary or a whole super team. I am really excited for Antman and Wasp.

[–]happytrel 97 points98 points  (3 children)

Two is a great number. You get hero interaction and combat combos, but there's enough time to emotionally explore both of them.

[–]inherentinsignia 59 points60 points  (2 children)

Did you know that it takes two to make a thing go right?

[–]ilion 35 points36 points  (1 child)

It takes two to make it outta sight.

[–]NinjaEngineerBlack Panther 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Every time I hear "Ant-Man and the Wasp, teaming up" when watching the trailers, I smile with glee. That's gonna be a fun film, and it's needed after Infinity War.

[–]Captain_Gainzwhey 104 points105 points  (5 children)

I remember reading that Mark Ruffalo signed a 5-movie deal before the first Avengers movie came out. Knowing how crap the other Hulk movies were my reaction was, "WTF was anybody involved in this deal thinking?"

And then I saw Avengers and Bruce became one of my favorites

[–]marcussilverhandFalcon 45 points46 points  (4 children)

Tbh The Incredible Hulk wasn’t a bad movie. It was pretty good and Edward Norton definitely held his own. Now The Hulk (2003) on the other hand....

[–]BroncosFFLHulk 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I always felt that Norton is the better actor in general, but Ruffalo i think plays a better Banner than Norton does.

[–]silverdevilboy 35 points36 points  (6 children)

I don't want a hulk movie unless it includes another couple of marvel characters at least.

You need the breaks from action with dialogue and the lighthearted moments, and you just can't have that with a hulk-only movie.

Black widow and one other, Imo. Hawkeye would work,

[–]Dorocche 32 points33 points  (5 children)

Hulk/Dr. Strange is classic

[–]step1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's too bad we can't have nice things and get a scene where Logan is standing next to Hulk and says something snarky to him so Hulk punches his head into a tree or something.

[–]-Cromm- 31 points32 points  (7 children)

There's an interview somewhere with Rufallo wherein this issue of a Hulk movie is addressed. Like you said, it's not possible because of Universal, so instead Kevin Feige told Rufallo that they would flesh out a story arc for Banner/Hulk over the next 3 movies, starting with Ragnarok.

If your recall, there is something strange going on with the Hulk in Ragnarok; he can't or doesn't want to transform into Banner. In Infinity war, the reverse is happening: Banner struggles desperately to become the Hulk, the Hulk refuses to let the transformation take place.

If I were to speculate, the third movie will involve the Hulk having some sort of crisis: am I a monster? am I dangerous? is the good that I can do, worth the collateral damage and real harm I also cause? Something along those lines.

[–]SavageNorth 16 points17 points  (2 children)

They’ve already done that part of his arc, why do you think he left Earth in the first place

[–]pigeonwiggle 88 points89 points  (31 children)

that's exactly what they planned to do. at least, ruffalo was told by feige he would have a 3-movie character arc, starting with ragnarok where it's established that hulk hates the way he's viewed on earth, then through infinity war where he refuses to come out while on earth, and finally in avengers 4 where he eats a pickle. ...i'm not sure, it's not out yet.

[–]rgamefreak 56 points57 points  (25 children)

Wait a minute... is he not coming out because he is on earth or thanos kicked his ass? If its because hes on earth you just blew my mind.

[–]happytrel 55 points56 points  (15 children)

I'm with you.

Honestly I'm leaning towards Thanos beating his ass. That's never happened to Hulk before, just getting slapped around like that. The sounds he made were heartbreaking on both viewings.

The idea that he's afraid of the way people see him on earth is a whole different kind of heart breaking. Hulk does his best!

[–]FashionMogulEdnaMode 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is also a cool character moment in that the Hulk in the comics is largely aware that it can take on anything, given time.

The movie Hulk is aware that it is, whilst a Incredible Hulk, is still just a smashingly hard rasin in a big fruit bowl, and Thanos is a coconut.

[–]pigeonwiggle 8 points9 points  (5 children)

think about it. thanos kicked his ass? big deal. so did thor, so did iron man. "not as bad as thanos though!" you think HULK, the monster fuelled by rage and anger cares about things that make him angry?

naw, remember the last time we saw hulk properly hulk out was in age of ultron when he fought tony's hulkbuster armor, and the more he got punched the more he fought. it was only laying there in a pile of rubble, seeing horrified faces of people screaming and running from him that he yielded and seemed to question what he'd become. then he got shut down by tony. we hulks up at the end for the fight against the robots, but after the sun gets real low, he gets in the ship and flies away. banner doesn't leave earth. hulk does. banner wakes up during ragnarok thinking they're still fighting ultron.

hulk hates earth. thanos knocks him out on thor's ship, but that's no a big deal because hulk Lives for punches. violence is his forté, feelings are not. so when he rides the bridge to strange's place, he let's banner take over to deliver the warning, and he refuses to come back.

[–]happytrel 20 points21 points  (9 children)

Listen, in Universal's defense, they have an entire section of Islands of Adventure dedicated to Marvel and had several deals going with them. Now they are technically selling Disney products in their own park and Disney won't let them upgrade it. I get it, the parks compete, but it's been 10 very successful years and I don't see Disney building a Marvel section onto any of their parks. I heard a rumor that around the time Incredible Hulk was coming out, which is connected to the MCU and the last stand alone Hulk film, that Universal was willing to sell the rights back if they would be allowed to keep their Marvel Island modern.

Don't worry, as they continue to grow eventually Disney will just buy Universal the same way they did Fox. Can't wait for the F4 and all their attached villains to enter the MCU properly.

[–]MjrLeeStoned 57 points58 points  (1 child)

I think they're trying to show the eventual blending of the "child" Hulk with the "Super Adult" Bruce.

His progression over the movies since the first Avengers, he slowly becomes more and more jovial, aloof, and whimsical - not so much the serious, stuffy, nerdy doctor he starts out as. You can see the two personality archetypes starting to blend together.

[–]toothmang 21 points22 points  (0 children)

"I'm... undecided."

[–]JelliusMaximus 26 points27 points  (2 children)

I love his facial expression on the second to last frame ^

[–]sirtinykins 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I love the one just before this when Loki says it "varies from moment to moment." about wanting to kill them. Ruffalo killed it

[–]SkidMcmarxxxx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"I'm undecided" is the best best line in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

[–]the_chickenboss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember where but I heard somewhere that a lot of the scenes in Ragnarok were improvised on the spot. That could be the reason for the real-life feel of the reactions.

[–]felixfactor37 707 points708 points  (6 children)

That’s the smile that says “I’m not ashamed of doing it.”

[–]Borderweaver 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Good times.

[–]Okichah 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Its a fond memory.

Thor: "I can't believe you've done this."

Loki: snerk

[–]rlprincesskenny 968 points969 points  (19 children)

I love Valkyries eye-rolling just look of exhaustion from Thor's antics. While there's just pure shock from Banner.

[–]AttackoftheMuffins[S] 663 points664 points  (15 children)

“Oh yeah, Asgardian kids stab each other all the time”

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Just watched the scene, that’s not what it is. The screenshot is just mid-transition of her looking from Thor to Loki

[–]Andys-Toys 179 points180 points  (7 children)

“We were 8 at the time..”

[–]silas34Daredevil 18 points19 points  (3 children)

After learning that he's 1500 years old, it's impressive he's remembers that far back.

[–]AGOTFANRocket 2869 points2870 points  (63 children)

Actually, Taika told Chris to make up stories about Thor and Loki's childhood. The snake story was totally improvised, and Hiddleston's smile was definitely genuine. This was published in YouTube.

[–]Admiral_obvious13 1788 points1789 points  (33 children)

For all we know Hiddleston's "genuine" smile was shot before this improvisation. There's a clear cut and his reaction could fit for a ton of different lines.

[–]_NekoCoffee_Foggy Nelson 1142 points1143 points  (13 children)

This guy film edits.

[–]Unfinishedmeal 379 points380 points  (12 children)

You see there was actually someone outside the frame tickling Tom’s foot with a feather.

[–]colonelnebulousDaredevil 144 points145 points  (9 children)

Quick bit of film history: Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr had the first on screen orgasm in the 1933 movie Ekstase. The director got her to contort and wince for the scene by poking her with a needle.

[–]falconx50Iron man (Mark III) 96 points97 points  (4 children)

[–]EpicLevelWizard 53 points54 points  (1 child)

What the hell are you worried about? This is 1874, you can sue her!

[–]boli99 34 points35 points  (2 children)

Was that before or after she developed Spread Spectrum and Frequency Hopping (tech used in bluetooth/wifi)

[–]mordacthedenier 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Well 1933 comes before 1942.

[–]Stompedyourhousewith 30 points31 points  (0 children)

remember that girl who said something along the lines of (paraphrased) "you don't have to be loki to get me to kneel"
who do you think hes looking at?

[–]conansucksdick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"Tickle my ass with a feather. Method acting is for weirdos."

[–]nalydpsycho 68 points69 points  (8 children)

Also possible that the reaction is from the improvisation, but Thor's telling is a retelling because he flubbed the improv and that made Tom smile.

[–]FilmMakingShitlord 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm not alone at getting annoyed when people say "this was improvised so their reaction must be genuine." There's a cut, very few movies are shot with more than one camera at a time.

[–]me_funny__ 15 points16 points  (2 children)

This sub loves to say "this was actually their real reaction" i swear they make a post like this everyday.

[–]vigilanteoftime 176 points177 points  (4 children)

I love it because I thought this sounded like it legit could have come from Norse mythology

[–]yahasgaruna 205 points206 points  (3 children)

It actually is from Norse mythology. They told him a bunch of stories about Thor and Loki and told him to improvise on whichever one he found funniest.

[–]vigilanteoftime 67 points68 points  (1 child)

Well that certainly explains it! His delivery of it is hilarious

[–]Pulsar07 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Well, it's not exactly what "happened" in Norse mythology, but they probably took inspiration from it and turned it into a joke yeah.

[–]OK_SodaRocket 221 points222 points  (1 child)

The snake story feels improvised. It's hilarious, but like a lot of lines in Ragnarok, it's got this kind of rambling, non-sequitur quality that feels really ad-libbed.

[–]boxingdudeAvengers 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The face that Thor makes when he tells the story- that’s not something you can practice. That’s genuinely improv. Opine.

[–][deleted] 71 points72 points  (12 children)

Chris Hemsworth, secret comedic genius. Who knew?

[–]LostTheWayILikeIt 54 points55 points  (7 children)

I hope he does more comedy in the future. He’s great at it.

[–][deleted] 47 points48 points  (6 children)

It's been an unexpected character arc for Thor to go from brash, to stern, to relaxed and light-hearted.

[–]physicscatLoki (Avengers) 46 points47 points  (0 children)

He grew as a person and went from having fucks to give, to having no fucks to give.

[–]jrandy904 196 points197 points  (3 children)

When Hulk says Thor is more like smoldering fire, Thor's laugh seemed similarly genuine

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I love that moment! A little yummy gleeful throwaway.

[–]ElectrixRedditThor 73 points74 points  (0 children)

That fucking smile made everyone in the theater laugh.

[–]PlainTrain 203 points204 points  (5 children)

And through the magic of editing, Tom doesn't even need to be responding to the same story, or to anything at all.

[–][deleted] 50 points51 points  (1 child)

Yeah I very much doubt this was a two-camera setup to get Hiddleston's reaction.

[–]SupervillainIndianaLoki (Avengers) 115 points116 points  (0 children)

A large part of why I love Thor and Loki in the MCU so much is because Chris and Tom have been through this whole whirlwind few years together for most of it. Little moments like this one remind me that they work really well together. They really sell that their characters are actual siblings - especially the petty squabbling!

[–][deleted] 97 points98 points  (2 children)

He is indeed an actor, yes

[–]adsfew 50 points51 points  (1 child)

Let's take a moment to appreciate that actors act.

[–]terrexchia 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Fuck Tom looks so cute when he's smiling

[–]El_Senor28 157 points158 points  (6 children)

Tom Hiddleston made Loki the best character in The Avengers don’t @ me.

[–]imariaprimeIron man (Mark III) 83 points84 points  (2 children)

I still can’t believe how much I love a character from Thor. Growing up, I couldn’t give two shits about the Thor comics. But now? The MCU turned that shit on its head.

(Although it has also been one long feeling of raw vindication as a long time Iron Man fan.)

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Because when we were kids, Thor was about as interesting (to me) as reading Prince Valiant in the Sunday funnies.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Puny god

[–]REdd1212 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly as much as I loved this scene, this post is a little low effort.

It’s called acting

[–]raybreezerSpider-Man 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's almost like he's some sort of, actor or something!

[–]fuck-dat-shit-upKorg 94 points95 points  (1 child)

I feel like this is a missed opportunity for a great coke ad. Like Ant-man and hulk. Thor reaching for his favorite Midgard beverage and it turning out to be Loki trying to stab him.
The ending is the two of them sitting on some steps laughing and enjoying soda, while Thor has a knife sticking out of him that he doesn't seem to notice.

[–]OliviaElevenDunhamLoki (Avengers) 17 points18 points  (2 children)

Definitely one of my favorite moments in Thor: Ragnarok. Loki seems very fond of that memory. They were such good friends as kids. As always, Loki was great in Ragnarok. I enjoyed that they gave Chris Hemsworth room to show his funny side.

I love that we get to see a little more of the “real” Loki- a funny trickster who isn’t out for blood.

MCU loki has been dealing with a lot of emotions. Feeling inferior his whole life, finding out he was adopted from his people’s greatest enemies as some sort of political instrument, feeling like his father didn’t love him. Like- he did some awful shit and hurt everyone around him but his family still loves him no matter what. He and Thor are brothers whether he likes it or not. His development through the films shows how he is healing from the initial pain he went through in the 1st movie.

I loved Loki's character development over the past few movies he's showed up in.

Hemsworth’s face and voice when he does that “meh it’s me!” line kill me every time

I honestly can’t get over how attractive Valkyrie is in a “I don’t give a fuck” kind of demeanor.

The actress playing her is beautiful!

Lest we forget that Loki is a mass murderer. He threw a guy against a wall so hard all his bones broke.

I love Loki.

The funniest Marvel film to date yet it packs such a understated and genuine emotional development for the lead characters. I think most were expecting a cool fun ride but unexpectedly walked away caring about these characters far more than they would have thought. Without Ragnarok that Thor arrival scene or Loki’s Death wouldn’t have been such great moments.

Top 5 Marvel film easily and I hope that Taika does another.

"meh it's me"

Hemsworths delivery of that line made me smile 100% genuine as well

It's funny that Thor of all people loves snakes, seeing as in mythology his mortal enemy is the World Serpent!
