So, yesterday I went to watch Infinity War again because I wanted to focus on this fact and see if it could actually be real. And guys, the answer is YES. (ohmygod!!!)
When Hulk fights Thanos it’s still Banner. But when they finish, we don’t see Hulk nor Loki for some time and that’s when they switch and Loki takes Hulk’s shape. Banner probably escapes with Valkyrie somehow. I am sure they have a plan.
Heimdall sends Hulk to Earth. Hulk?! Heimdall barely know who is Banner! He never even talked to him! Why would he send Banner and not, for example, Thor? Because that’s actually Loki.
When“Banner” arrives on Earth, he is terrified: terrified of the kind like he knows a lot about Thanos and what he does. But how can he? Do you really think they had all of this time to tell Banner everything when Thanos suddenly showed up and began to kill everyone? He could have just been another bad guy at his eyes, but no, here he was absolutely desperate and with no real reason (I hope you understood what I’m trying to say). That’s not Banner.
Banner tells Tony that Thanos destroys every planet and already has the Power and Space Stone and he is already super powerful. How can he know? When Thanos manages to hold the Tesseract, Hulk is already KO and moreover when Banner is Hulk he doesn’t understand what’s going on. Only Loki and Thor really see that Thanos takes the Space Stone. Again, how can Banner know he already has the Power Stone? For the same reason written above, he cannot. Guys, he can’t. That’s Loki.
Loki knows that Banner can transform into Hulk and, being a shapeshifter, he tries to. But eventually he will find out that he cannot because he can take people’s shapes but not their powers. So he would never have Hulk’s strength.
Banner tells Tony that Loki’s attack to New York was actually because of Thanos. Again, how can Banner know? Like if when Thanos arrived they quietly sat down and told Banner everything about Thanos. Do you realize it’s absurd?
Banner makes continuous references to New York. Why couldn’t he do it with Sokovija, for example? Because he is Loki.
It’s impossible to ignore Banner’s outburst of joy when Thor shows up in Wakanda. He laughs aloud and says he wants to see what they’ll make up now. It reminded me so much of Loki’s joyful reaction when in Ragnarok Thor was beaten by Hulk. Guys, that’s Loki as he sees his brother is still alive and badassing (thing he couldn’t be sure about, having left as Hulk through the Bifrost).
We see Banner in the Hulk Buster fighting. Now, Hulk can fight because it’s Hulk but Hulk and Banner are two completely different beings. And honestly, has Banner ever punched someone in his life? Ha. Banner is a scientist and angel, he wouldn’t touch a fly. And yet we see him punching and kicking super professionally in Wakanda, which is super weird. But if you think that that’s Loki, who can fight pretty well, everything makes sense. And if you look closely you see Loki’s technique in the fight.
You’ll wonder how can Loki knowa) about Clint, b) about Vision’s technology and c) about Bruce and Nat’s relationship. a) Loki knows about Clint as he mind-controlled him in Avengers 1. b) Loki is very intelligent, he knows a lot about the Stone, he knows about how Vision came to life because in Age of Ultron he was there, hiding (hooded figure) and actually he doesn’t really know everything in such a great detail in fact when he speaks with Shuri he is in a bit of difficulty. c) Loki is a mind-reader and had the occasion to get to know Nat (during Avengers 1, while he is in the cage) and with Bruce (throughout Ragnarok and a little bit Avengers 1 too).
So guys, you can see that there are many things that don’t make a lot of sense but this theory fixes them and makes them all agree with one another. Loki is the God of Mischief and I could go on forever telling why he decided to die in front of Thor and how did he double himself and about the fact that he didn’t turn into his Jotun form when he “died”, but this post is already very long (sorry!).
Now, what do you think?
Also, in Thor: Ragnarok, Bruce states multiple times that if he turns into the Hulk, he will be stuck like that, no more Banner.
Your annual reminder that according to the novelisation of Thor: Ragnarök, Loki thinks chocolate fountains are fictional concept and that such a wonderful thing couldn’t possibly exist
I mean chocolate fountains are exactly the kind of indulgent stuff Asgard would have and fountains aren’t that big of a technological challenge for a magical space kingdom so I assume the chocolate is the problem. Maybe it just exists on Earth and is super-rare because no one wants to go there to get some and. Loki is probably a slut for chocolate in general and not least of all BECAUSE it’s super rare and expensive for Aesir. Loki can probably be bought at the price of 1 chocolate cake. The Avengers could have stopped the invasion so much easier.
joss whedon: loki tortures and murders people for fun, and, despite being the god of CHAOS, is a fascist who says things like “it’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation”
taika waititi: loki is an annoying little shit who day-drinks, puts on theater about himself, and fucks his way to the top
joss whedon: loki and thor are gods, so they always talk proper and posh and in cryptic riddles so for no reason. it makes them seem more powerful and mystical.
taiki waititi: one time when they were kids loki turned into a snake because he knows thor loves snakes and then thor went to pick up the snake and then loki turned back into himself and screamed “yueagh, it’s me!” and then he stabbed thor
Taika Waititi has a deeper understanding of Norse mythological accuracy than Joss lol
It’s because Joss Whedon looks at all mythology and religion through a Christian-atheist lens. You can see it in Buffy and even a little in Firefly too. Even when he writes about other religions and their deities and practices, it still comes back to Christianity.
He wrote Thor and Loki as modern Western Christianity would portray Jesus and the Devil as opposed to how they actually are in mythology or the comics
SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT! I DIDN’T WANT TO BE THAT PERSON.
God. Norse mythology is so fucked up. Christianity is all about right and wrong and the bible is there to be a moral guidebook. But Norse mythology, like many other polytheistic cultures, was so much more complex because the gods were based on natural phenomena. AND NATURE ISN’T A FUCKING LESSON IN MORALITY.
Thor was a little shit. Loki was a little shit. Odin was a super shit. Fucking Odin would go to Midgard in disguise and help heroes and everyone knew it was him. Like “I’m just a random old guy with one eye.” “FFS we know you’re Odin just do your Odin thing and be cryptic then leave.”
And the giants weren’t evil! The giants could change size (that’s how the booty smooshing happened with the regular humans) and they totally helped the Norse out when they felt like it.
Stop bringing your monotheism into ancient polytheistic cultures 2k18. I stg. I am done with this bullshit.
I just saw Ragnork for the 3rd time and this was all I could think of during the scene when Loki and Thor are in New York looking for Odin:
Presumably, Tony and the other Avengers are keeping an eye out for sightings of Thor and Hulk. Scanning the internet, news, social media etc for any sign that their friends are alive/back on earth. So imagine how confused they are when 1 selfie of Thor in casual clothes on a random New York street pops up on twitter with no explanation.
With Loki rolling his eyes in the background, OBVIOUSLY not in prison like Thor inferred he would be.
