lokihiddleston: l-1130:thelightofthingshopedfor: sailoryue: lokiofsassgaard: thelightofthingshopedfor: lokihiddleston: “You weren’t born to be king, Loki. You were born to cause pain and suffering and death. That’s how it is, that’s how it was, that’s how it will be. All so that others can achieve their best versions of themselves.” So you know the fandom theory, based on a couple scenes in Avengers, that Loki suffered some major spinal trauma on Sanctuary, which I’m sure wasn’t helped by being Hulk-smashed and then dropped into Mongolia from cruising altitude? I definitely consider this bit more evidence, because…yeah, he’s upset and yeah it’s never fun to fall on your ass, but his reaction in the first couple gifs looks like more pain than I’d expect from just getting dumped on his ass. Honestly, this is one of those things people forget 90% of the time too. Why did Loki go down so easily in that fight, or look at him being awkward and weird during the brawl, etc.I have back problems and I can tell you, IT SUCKS.And he’s still fresh off everything mentioned above through this entire series. In TDW, he’s had a full year to recover from being tortured and smashed around. He even says in Ep5 that he doesn’t know if it’s been days or months since New York. I just gotta sit down wrong and I’m stiff for days. Dude’s been tortured, Hulk smashed, dropped out of the sky, and then dropped on his ass in very short order. I would not doubt that by the time he’s fighting Sylvie, he’s still in pain, but he’s a god and he’s got shit to do, so he powers through. I was just thinking of this, also when he fights he tries very hard to fall on his front side, he tries very hard to avoid landing on his back…. Oh damn I didn’t notice that, yet another reason for a full rewatch, however will I bear it(Also like. I really want to ask what “I’ve been killed so many times I’ve lost count” was supposed to mean if it wasn’t a reference to awful things during his missing year, because…hyperbole and bravado are certainly things he does, but that’s an extremely fucking specific direction to go unless there’s some basis in reality!) If anyone is in search of a bit of extra emotional pain I’ve noticed that loki repeatedly blinks hard throughout the show at moments of physical effort, another indication that he is far from feeling well. I don’t have the exact time it happens but two examples that come to mind are:1. At the beginning of episode 4, right after he is separated from sylvie the guards pull him a bit too roughly. He trips a bit and shuts his eyes.2. When he is pulled out of his chair following his interrogation with Mobius, when he calls him a liar, he once again shuts his eyes at the sudden movement. It also looks like he needs to be lifted by force as he can’t seem to do it himself. This happened at least a couple more times on the show so I am sure if you rewatch and look for it you will see it on multiple occasions. Honestly, every time I think I come to a full understanding of Tom hiddleston’s superb acting, I am proved wrong. @worstloki / @l-1130 -- source link
