You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Beau had the opposite take. He explained to me that what we (as viewers) were supposed to pick up on is that Loki and Thor each have characteristics from their parents (Thor's parents biologically). Their mother taught Loki the manipulation of visions, while their father has characteristics that each of them share: the boldness and morally centeredness rule that is Thor's way of leading (now that he is more mature). While Loki, rightfully, mentions the viciousness with which Odin won wars and conquered his enemies in the past. Odin spoke to his two sons differently, minimizing (or aggrandizing) when the need arose (e.g. humans aren't worth your time; you aren't suitable for the throne) .

Trust my rage
wrt Loki and his issues he's a frost giant, right? but there's a scene where he turns into a baby in front of Odin's eyes, I assumed, as a sort of "love me and take me home gesture". I did always assume that Loki preferred Frigga, both because of her magic and his natural magic talent, but also because of temperament. But I don't understand how he did the magic baby trick if the Jotun don't naturally all have magic. He'd never met Frigga at that point.

I don't know when I've ever felt such trepidation.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ha ha ha, this can be nothing but good news
You say that a lot. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Stephanie,
So you lost me at frost giant ! WTF? Clearly, I'm not up on my lore.

Hey. New board.
We learned that in the first movie I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I didn't realize until I started looking around last night that the Collector from the credits scene ties into the Guardians of the Galaxy -- I didn't know that was connected to the Avengers! My coworker was like, You've got a lot to learn....

Trust my rage
I always feel like a superhero fraud. I love superheroes and their stories but I don't actually like the comic book format. So I always feel like I have a lot to learn.
