All I thought about when I wrote my stories was, “I hope that these comic books would sell so I can keep my job and continue to pay the rent.” Never in a million years could I have imagined that it would turn into what it has evolved into nowadays. Never.
I have this headcanon that when Asgardians reach Earth(Infinity War Who?), Thor and Loki start practicing new styles of fighting because of Thor’s blind eye. They come up with ideas that how they can be positioned in a fight to look after each other. Thor rejects any idea that can put Loki in more danger for protecting Thor’s blind side. Loki gets angry because of it. They practice in a way that Thor can improve his other senses and defend himself if someone wants to attack him from his right side. Even when they are not practicing, Loki randomly attacks Thor from his right side to improve Thor’s reactions. Loki teaches Thor to make a shield from his lightning and keeps it in his right side just in case he needed more protection. Loki teaches Thor how to control his elemental magic because using it without a weapon to channel it is new to him and sometimes he can lose control of it because of his emotions.
Head canon accepted!!
I just can picture in my mind Thor having some PopTarts as breakfast and then Loki running towards him screaming with a knife from Thor’s blind side
:)))) Yeah. But screaming would defeat the purpose because it makes it very easy for Thor to stop Loki. So I imagine Loki approaches and attacks Thor in complete silence 😀
Bonus points if it’s during an Avengers meet up and everyone else can see Loki but are too stunned to say shit.
You say “attack” but all I see is “casually and nonchalantly stab while Thor is waiting for his hot pockets to microwave”
And the other thing is that even if Portman had turned them down (which she didn’t), Marvel would fight to keep her on board if they cared about her character at all. They’d do that with any of the (white) dudes with larger roles. They’d offer pay raises, they’d offer contract negotiations, you name it. But since women are expendable in the MCU, this just wouldn’t happen.
Hadn’t thought of that, but I have noticed the trend in MCU for making a lot of white woman love interest for the titular heroes to bang, and then not really doing anything with their characters, and casting and totally underutilizing great actors for them (Natalie Portman, Rachel McAdams). Pepper and Peggy both got to have storylines and be great after their respective first movies, but Pepper in IronMan 1 was honestly kind of… generic. And Rachel McAdams in Dr. Strange was even more egregiously so – I couldn’t tell you anything about her besides the fact that she’s a nurse and she’s pretty and probably nice?
After everything that happened in Ragnarok, imagine Thor hearing about Steve and Tony’s fight and being like “Really?! Thats why you all stopped working together?! Just get over it! I did! I’m still friends with Loki and he’s betrayed me three times since breakfast! This petty mortal shit is nothing!”
Loki: “Can confirm, poisoning his mead right now.”
Thor: “Ha! I’ve built up an immunity.”
Loki doesn’t betray Thor 3 times in one morning and Thor comes by like “ What hath saddened you my brother?”
Thor giving Loki opportunities to betray him because he’s worried, like “ah, I am not facing you, how inconvenient would it be if you stabbed me.” “i said, i REALLY hope you won’t stab me” “c’mon, no stab?”
