I wasn’t going to make this a manip but all the other attempts look like shit anyway this looks so much better. 😊 also I have no clue what I was doing with the dialogue on this 😬
By the end of Ragnarok, Loki has been accepted as Thor’s brother again; as his friend, as his ally. When I came to shoot the scene in Infinity War, I think it’s very powerful that he calls himself an Odinson. And that closes the whole journey of Loki and what we were trying to do. You know, Kenneth Branagh introduced these characters as two princes in Asgard, both of whom were born to be together in a way. And in that film he finds out that he is not an Odinson by birth, but the fact that he looks at his brother in the eye and says that he is an Odinson is a huge journey of redemption and catharsis.
Like, I could come up with a bunch of examples of Thor being hella smart, but let’s go with the most obvious one in this movie.
Thor specifically told the Guardians NOT to go to Knowhere. He told them they wouldn’t be able to stop Thanos from getting the Reality Stone anyway, and knew 100% that he needed to be more powerful to face him.
Not only was he right in the sense that, with Stormbreaker, he came super close to defeating Thanos with all 6 Stones, but also, if the Guardians had all gone with him to Nidavellir instead, Thanos wouldn’t have captured Gamora, he wouldn’t have found the Soul Stone, and he would’ve had to face the Avengers AND the Guardians on earth with one less Stone.
Moral of the story: Thor is INCREDIBLY smart and 100% knows what he’s doing, and people need to start paying attention to him more.
