Revealed that villain’s schemes secretly served the greater good
Villain switches teams out of expedience; protagonists overlook the fact that they’re still a huge jerk because they now benefit from it
Context or status quo altered so that villain’s previously harmful actions become constructive and useful with no changes on their part
It turns out that villain wasn’t actually responsible for the one specific thing the protagonists are trying to stop or get revenge for; everything else they clearly did do conveniently ignored
Villain never repents or makes amends for any of the awful stuff they did, but they’re really hot, so no one cares
– Villains plots end up provoking huge social and economic changes for the better and they’re really upset about it.
Tom’s acting skills feel more like a curse in these scenes. It’s so heartbreaking to watch. Not to mention Loki’s death scene. It was so real and horrible. I wished he wasn’t such a good actor in those moments.
In the 3rd gif, you can see the *instant* Loki’s expression changes and it’s so subtle but he’s looking up at Thanos with such defiance, even the tiniest of smirks, and then as soon as he lowers his gaze to Thor, his entire face just falls and he tries so hard not to show it but he can’t take watching Thor being tortured and it’s just all downhill from there.
man. Remember the first time you watched Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Dir. Taika Waititi and hela asked thor ‘what were the god of again?’ and then it went to loki smirking and you KNEW something good was coming. And then immigrant song started to kick in and the LIGHTING started and you felt your SOUL leave your body and go to another plan of existance. Then Thor desending lighting and all onto that pile of aliens in slow motion looking goddamn RENAISSANCE painting? That moment changed me! the DRAMA! The rest of that scene? Valkyrie, Loki, and Hulk fighting together? Thor’s LIGHTING striking those aliens straight outta there like they were fucking ants? ICONIC! The iconic truly JUMPED out of that movie! Taika Waititi took my hand in that movie, told me it was all gonna be ok and then changed my life FOREVER! That was ART! Mr. Waititi thank you for my LIFE
For those who have not yet felt this experience in all it’s glory (or those who just want to feel it again):
