Director Taika Waititi put a piece together to explain what Thor was doing during Civil War. “I just am taking a break. We had this cool adventure saving New York, that was pretty great. So I moved to Australia and moved in with Daryl,” Thor says in a documentary-style video. Thor has Daryl help him write an email to both Tony Stark and Steve Rogers about their “Relationship problems.”
“Dear Steve Rogers, remember when I goaded you into killing those prisoners and you made me swear not to tell any of the other Avengers? I still haven’t. Please let me know if you need anything, I’m not doing much at the moment,” he said.
Thor had a wall of conspiracy theory about the Infinity Stones. “Who is the purple man in the chair? He’s purple, has a magic glove, and doesn’t like standing up.”
Thor sits down to talk with Bruce Banner, who gets a call from Iron Man. “No amount of money is going to get me into your little pissing contest,” he says to Tony. Stark doesn’t want to talk to Thor. Banner says that Stark says he doesn’t know how to get a hold of Thor, and Thor says he doesn’t have a phone, and should instead send a raven.
Next, a sizzle reel was shown from the first five days of filming. After a few very quick shots of Thor and Loki together (but no real indication of what they were doing) and some scenery that was clearly Asgardian, they showed several pieces of concept art.
Loki was shown with a new costume,
several shots of Asgard, and Thor was shown with some red streaks down his face. Many tribal-looking characters were shown, in fact, perhaps indicating the presence of the “Planet Hulk” storyline rumored. One quick shot showed what seemed to be characters from The Eternals, though they could’ve also been the Celestials. A new throne room was shown, too. Then came the big finish, with Gladiator Hulk (from the aforementioned Planet Hulk) charging at Thor in a piece of CGI test footage, with helmet, gauntlet, and weapon. A full shot of Cate Blanchett’s Hela was shown, looking pitch-perfect in full green, as if she leapt from the comicbook page. Finally, Hulk jumps, screaming, down from a high point, descending upon the fire demon Surtur.
Loki was shown with a new costume
–Not so keen on Hulk vs. Surtur, that’s Thor’s fight. –VERY keen on Thor and Loki having apparently reunited even if for only a tense conversation: that reunion had better not be rushed or cheapened for more Hulk time. –Worried that Hela is too much like Comics Hela who was a weird evil dominatrix with, impractically, almost no clothes on. –New Throne Room could either be Hela’s, Loki’s in an illusion, or Loki’s in a genuinely new regime. –I don’t like how much of this is being spent on the Hulk, I do not WANT the Hulk in a movie TITLED AS STARRING MY FAVORITE AVENGER KTHX.
//I think there’ve been times when I’ve been bending this muse to neglect his own psychological damage in order to keep a thread or muse relationship agreeable. I think he has the right to more from me than that. So I need to stop compromising in this manner. I’m sorry. You might all find Loki a bit more abrasive for a while if and when certain insecurities are stirred.
//I really am sorry for this but I feel like I have been consistently conceding to all my rp partners in the fear that their muses will be put off by how damaged and hurt and scared and angry Loki really is. And that’s not an accurate portrayal on my part. I hope I don’t lose all of you to this revelation.
//Loki still loves Thor so goddamn much even when he also despises Thor, and it’s just killing me. It’s. Just. Killing. Me.
The word was only ever spoken as a curse between them now.
“—brother.”.
//Pours a glass out for Tony and Bruce’s relationship, it’s almost metonymic of a friendship I lost this year.
