Oh sure, you didn't see it -- I just wouldn't be surprised.
Luckily, I'm seeing it again tomorrow, so I can think harder.
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
It could be that the treason led to exile for Heimdel, Sif, and the warriors three. So if Loki got under Odin's guard enough to wound him and force him into Odinsleep to heal, he could hide the body and take over with little fear of anyone seeing through it. And the last dark elf ship seemed to crash around where Loki "died" earlier, so the body being lost under he wreckage would be plausible if Thor did look. That doesn't address the diva aspect. But at the end of he Avengers, Loki made some serious enemies when he failed his erstwhile allies, so staying hidden while building up a power base might look appealing right now .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Made it to Thor 2, although fate seemed to want me not to.
Well, maybe I see why. I thought it was pretty dumb (hi Sean!). It's like the Stargate: Atlantis of the Marvel movieverse. You do dumb things, so crises happen. Also, your ships are pulled out of thin air and have no chemistry.
Didn't Odin say don't take Jane to Lothlorien and give the ethernet to Galadriel and try and fuck him up then because it won't work? And then it didn't? I don't know what his plan was, but it's possible it wasn't handing the bad guy what he was looking for in time for him to reach his goals.
Oh, and Loki. Just...Loki. I still don't have a there there. There's one setting: he's not going to do what he promised, and at least one of the fakeouts will be just for the audience. And the Trickster is never where you think his body is, I learnt that from Supernatural. Or fiction. One of the two.

‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Sequel in the Works:
Story to focus on George Bailey's grandson; actress who portrayed 'Zuzu' in the original returning to play angel
The sequel, titled “It’s A Wonderful Life: The Rest of the Story,” is being financed by Allen J. Schwalb of Star Partners who will also produce along with Bob Farnsworth of Hummingbird. The duo are aiming to get the movie into theaters for the 2015 holiday season.
I think Todd VanDerWerff summed it up best: "Uhhhh..."

That's even better than the Princess Bride news!
Not that I like IAWL, but that's a lot of memories they're going to fuck with.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Um...with a good story as well as a reason for it to happen to George Bailey's grandson. I doubt it'll happen, but it's possible.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There was an SNL sketch about that once. The townspeople are all celebrating at George Bailey's house, but then they realize that Mr. Potter had gotten away with stealing the bank's money, so they all go to his home and beat him to death.

I loved that. Dana Carvey doing his spot-on Jimmy Stewart impression and Jon Lovitz as Potter.
