A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Thank you, Debet. Nice not to feel all alone. ::sniffle::
Loki never seemed to have any problem passing as a local, while Thor's lack of knowledge was played for hysterical laughs. Given what he clearly already knows about Earth, it wasn't hard for me to imagine he understands idiomatic English
I will take this handwave with me to my next viewing, thanks.
Without establishing a mechanism in place to translate into High Asgardian, I can't find fault with it.
Epic, that stood out for me, but I can handwave it. Even without knowing what "red in the ledger" means literally, red is blood and she's not a nice person, he can figure out what she means when she says she wants the blood out of her whatsis.
Now I remember the dislodging in the coffin version, too. When I was a kid I always wondered, wouldn't she just suffocate in a glass coffin?
Also the too-tight lacing, and the poisoned comb--it's all coming back to me.
I don't remember those, though. I have a copy of Grimm's fairy tales around here somewhere.
Loki - re movie.
He seemed to know a helluva lot about the Avengers. Where did he acquire all of that knowledge?

From Clint, I assume. Or maybe watching through the Tesseract? I tend to assume that godlike aliens have special abilities to get information.
One of the post-credit scenes in one of the movies had him lurking around SHIELD, didn't it?
Or maybe something to do with the after-credit scene from Thor? Maybe he wasn't tied exclusively to Skarsgaard's character, but could move about? Or Skarsgaard's character was unknowingly gathering info for him when Fury brought him in to S.H.I.E.L.D.?
eta post-credit x-post!

Ah, I missed that. Makes sense.

Except for the protagonists, because they have to stumble through a get-to-know-us phase while the chick falls in love with them.

Maybe looking like a doof (while the chick falls in love with him) is part of Thor's punishment for being such an arrogant so-and-so?
