The thing about ‘get help’ that really gets to me is that the ruse is…. totally unneeded? thor 200% can throw loki those extra few feet he just… idk wants to put on a show i guess. i just can’t get over his complete and utter glee at having “"fooled”“ the guards when in reality he just didn’t give them enough time to react before throwing his whole ass brother at them like he did not need to put on an entire production to chuck loki. but He Did
Sometimes I’m just sitting here minding my own business and then I remember that Thor specifically entrusted Loki with placing Surtur’s crown on the fire to initiate Ragnarok and I tear up a little bit because that’s how you love and support your chaotic neutral sibling.
Thor: I know what’ll cheer you up. 🙂 Loki: What’s that? Thor: You wanna trigger the apocalypse with me for the good of Asgard? Loki: !!!!!!!!
my favorite part is that nobody questioned Loki surviving that experience. Thor sent him in there with the comfortable confidence of Loki’s cockroach-like ability to cause the apocalypse and sneak out before it got bad, Loki didn’t try to pretend that this was dangerous, absolutely nobody ever commented…
thor is a problematic loki apologist remember when Loki was dead in the comics so Thor was like “im gonna bring him back” and everyone was like “umm thor is that a good idea remember all the murder he did” and Thor was like “yea……but I miss him”
