This was really important and Thor blew it off which totally floored me. The only excuse I can think of is that because Sakaar is temporally weird, Loki’s been there and able to mourn Odin for two weeks, while Thor literally watched Odin die moments ago.
But even with that being the case? It still flabbergasts me that Thor can be so strangely uncritical of and emotionally enmeshed with Odin, after Odin’s behavior in TDW.
To me that shows that Odin not only emotionally neglected Loki, he also groomed and conditioned Thor to be a mere extension of himself with no autonomous thought, until Thor was simultaneously so privileged and so dependent/reactive that he had to be exiled to straighten himself up.
And he DID straighten himself up with Jane, so I’m kind of like. Why. Is Thor such an asshole in Ragnarok again? Why the character regression???? Is this just his way of coping with constant loss, to get all arrogant and macho and Gaston-like?
This is a genuine question I’m asking Thor muns here. Do you think Thor’s weird combination of petulance, pride and sanctimony are the result of grief? Or just bad writing?
