//My Godfather just called from the hospital: he had a heart attack on Monday, and he is having quadruple bypass surgery tomorrow morning. Please pray or meditate for him?
I just wanted to stop on that moment. Because even in those few seconds Tom Hiddleston has created such a beautiful detail. When Thor asked him this question “…In your cell?” There, Loki is destroyed from the inside because he knows he could have done something. He himself knows that he has failed to protect his mother too.
He blames himself when he told Kurse where to turn, Loki who thinks of everything, did not think at that moment that his mother would be in the room in front of this monster.
And
it’s in the second gif that everything is described, the way he opens
his mouth and down his head as if to scream but to himself, because he
indirectly hates himself for not being able to do something when he could. He hates himself for being in this cell without defense, and his mother is dead now. His rage is so much overdosed in the last few seconds that he does not control it anymore. Like when we can see him screaming with rage in his cell all by himself after he knows about Frigga.
Fuck all parents who use the “you should be grateful to me for giving you life” card to gaslight and emotionally abuse any of their children.
Hello, yes, welcome to shitty parenting time with Odin!
“I didn’t murder you, be grateful.”
“I exterminated your entire people, be grateful.”
This asshole is trying so hard to cling to the last vestiges of control he has over Loki. He’s just whipped out the pocket ace, declaring this shit in front of everyone.
“Now they all know your dirty secret, and it’s your fault for upsetting me.”
Tom Hiddleston in ‘The Avengers’, (2012). Dir. Joss Whedon.
Something I really love about this shot is the way Loki looks at the scepter for a second right before attacking with it. I can kind of see his thought process throughout the gifs – he arrives, just having come from whatever horrors he’s experienced with Thanos, disoriented, probably very scared on the inside. He examines this extremely powerful weapon he probably has no experience using. He gathers what little strength he has, collects his thoughts, can I really do this, and then he looks up, menacing,
there’s no turning back now, attacks in sudden full-villain mode, and proceeds to continue this way for the duration of the story – mad and murderous and unshakably determined, with terror and agony just barely contained under the surface. It’s one of those little things that shows how lost he is in this film underneath the “big bad villain” exterior.
