So Loki shapeshifted into an Aesir when he was a baby and never realized it wasn't his true form until Laufey grabbed his arm in the first movie. It doesn't make sense to me.
My own personal headcanon was, with Odin's talk about how both boys were born to rule, Odin is secretly Loki's father after all, and he and Laufey intended to put the half-blood prince (...wait) on the throne of Jotunheim to bring peace to the two realms. Which would explain why Loki could "be" an Aesir and never feel that it was weird. And would also explain Odin's cryptic blahblah about both being meant for the throne (which, no, they couldn't both have the throne) and how he wanted to achieve peace between Jotunheim and Asgard. And then we could have yet another dramatic reveal of Loki's real parentage, yay!
Poor guy. He's crazy, but it's not hard to see why.
NB: Asgardians = Aesir. I don't think they ever said "Aesir" in the movies.

Yay Norse mythology! Thanks for bringing that in. I like "Aesir" so much better than "Asgardians," which just sounds like someone watching over the booty if you say it out loud. Which is also a time honored activity, but still.
Tep,
I saw the first movie! Apparently I excised it in total from my memory.
I love Lorde. More than I have loved any new-to-me musical artist in ages. I don't love that song in any version, however, and don't really think there's enough Lordeness to overcome that for me. Too much of what I like of her sound is in the lyric, perhaps.
I'm going to be a naysayer and say I thought Thor 2 was really, really stupid. I thought the characters all wanted macguffin things for plot reasons, and I really didn't care about any of it. Also 9/11 imagery and fake language. Yawn.
Also, also, it has one of my most hated tropes: your penis has saved my vagina life, so my vagina is open to you now.
I did like the funny bits, and I thought Hiddleston and Elba were the best part of the movie.
Most of the comedy bits had me rolling my eyes, but that may have to do with my tolerance for Darcy/Kat Dennings falling from slight in the first film to nonexistent in this one. Was I the only one hoping
"Mew-mew's" flight path would take it through her at some point
?
