genderfluid-loki-and-trans-peter:
the fact that Loki’s death scene in Thor 2 was originally intended to be real & retconned later and the end where he’s alive was filmed during pickups has me SO fucked up because now I can’t choose between which headcanon I prefer re: his behavior in Ragnarok. like listen, okay, either:
1. loki was planning on playing dead the whole time and so his very sad death scene & everything he said therein was a calculated move and he was practically writing the theatrical version of it (starring matt damon as himself) as he went along
OR
2. loki really thought he was dying and every melodramatic word of his death scene was 100% heartfelt and then after he realized he wasn’t dead he fucking… woke up peaced out to go take over asgard (lol?) and several months later he was sitting on the throne and could remember every word of what he said to thor on that day and was like “wow im so fucking poetic. that should be a play. starring matt damon as Me perhaps”
and I honestly could not tell you which is better
#the second one #i refuse to believe loki can actually plan that far ahead #without it all fucking up
#2, most definitely
Gotta be that Loki really got stabbed and thought he was dying. It wasn’t 100% clear before Ragnarok, but Ragnarok firmly establishes that Loki’s illusuary clones aren’t solid. Loki got stabbed as fuck, and even he can’t just shrug off a giant blade through the chest and immediately fold that into a clever death-faking plan.
^ Thisssss. His clones have never been solid in any movie. Read a theory somewhere on tumblr that Loki’s shapeshifting might’ve tried to turn him into whatever Kurse was as he got his blood inside of him and he “died” like that, but he deffo couldn’t have faked the stabbing. and then he woke up and was alive and thought the only person worthy to reenact the thing in a splendid play was matt damon.
I wonder if @genderfluid-loki has seen this yet? (p.s sorry if u have)
