Loki In Thor (1)

Doing an MCU rewatch with my girlfriend, and we just finished the first Thor. I wanted to highlight how well I thought they wrote everything around Loki! For context, I completely forgot most of what happened in this movie as I was really young when I first (and last) watched it.

Him being the god of mischief and being all deceitful and stuff kinda breaks thee 4th wall in a way... For such a long period of the movie, I thought that all of the warriors that were hating on him were just being unfair, and that he genuinely had good intentions and stuff because it's TRUE that Thor needed a humbling before reigning as king. So for most of the movie, his deceit and trickery worked on ME as a member of the audience, which imo is really cool!

It was unfair. I Thor refused to see reason until AFTER he was put on earth, and became worthy. I wouldn't have wanted him as a king in that state.

I liked this movie a lot. I will never forget Lokis eyes when he confronted Odin about his heritage. Such a great performance from Tom. I wish we could have seen more from both Thor and Lokis past, how life shaped them into the people they became.

A lot of people don't like The Dark World but I do. Not for the story around Malekith or Jane (not much to like about that, at least for me) but it gave us fantastic Odinsons dynamic and for that I'm grateful. I'm probable biased, because these two are my favorite characters :)

Agree! I love all the Asgaard scenes and the family relationships. Could take or leave most of the actual plot, but the Loki/Thor dynamic is so good in that one. I'm still sad we've moved so far away from that and Asgaard as a setting.

Agree their family relationship was the hightlight. I didn't know how much I would miss seeing Asgard, when we lost it. So much lost potential to explore the lore around it. Friggas death still brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful scene and music.

Thor after he lost everything has become too much of an earthling in words and mannerism sadly. If, and that's a big if, we will get a new Thor movie, I hope they go back to the roots. I'm not fond what Valkyrie did with New Asgard. It has become a themepark. Sorry, going off topic here.

I hope there is some future with Loki and Thor after Doomsday.

Have you seen him in The Night Manager? Season 2 is almost over I think.

Not yet but I will. Season 1 was great. I bought the DVD after watching it. Top Series.

I distinctly remember seeing that scene in a theater and being like "wow, this dude's really going all out for this silly Thor movie, I hope we get to see more of him"

Wish granted

honestly Loki is a way better character than Thor in this movie. They should have called it *Thor & Loki*

From what I’ve heard, they were already planning Avengers when they wrote Thor, so the directive to the writers was that Loki NEEDED to be an amazing character so he could be a through line and carry that movie as well. And it worked!

The greatest character in the MCU, by far.

That’s what makes Loki in Thor 1 so good. His manipulation works on the audience, so he feels reasonable at first, and realizing you fell for it hits perfectly.

I love the character Loki and enjoyed the first Thor as it showed his side of things and why he did the things he did
