THOR [2011]

Can I just draw your attention to Loki’s face in the last gif? Look at him. He’s crying. He was trying to do something right, to impress his father and make him proud by destroying the enemy, even though technically he was one of them. Yes, he was greedy and lied to Thor, but can you blame him? He was jealous of his brother who his father favoured. Thor got everything and Loki got next to nothing. And now he’s failed once again to impress his father and finally decided to leave.

 #here’s the deal: #i may be taking some liberties of headcanon but this is my basic theory #as a child loki was ALWAYS the black sheep of the family; of asgard #yes his parents loved him and of course thor did #yet thor always outshone him… in strength in likability in importance to odin #whether odin was aware of it he took to thor’s achievements more than loki’s #perhaps because he couldn’t understand loki as he could understand thor #maybe because loki’s powers and intelligence frightened him on some level #but either way thor out-did loki in the family #and the only reason loki probably had friends was because he hung around thor who made everyone else treat loki reasonably #he probably never had any real friends #he was too quiet too sullen to cunning #so unlike the rest with their brute strength and military tactics #and this part here #it’s all of that accumulating to one moment #because loki didn’t try to destroy joutenheim to bring peace or kill the enemy #he did it because maybe—just maybe if he destroyed the planet he was from then he’d really TRULY be a part of asgard #there wouldn’t be another planet for him to belong to; he’d be a real brother and a real son #it was all just a misguided attempt to belong to have some form of identity #because loki probably always struggled for identity and finding out he was laufey’s son was a breaking point #and when odin says no that’s the final resignation #he is not part of asgard #he is not odin’s son #he is not thor’s brother #and so he has nothing to live for (via burnupasun)

“Did you love Annie right away, Finnick?” I ask.

 “No.” A long time passes before he adds, “She crept up on me.”
