Chris Evans, impersonating Tom’s impression of Chris playing Loki, pretending to be Captain America vs Tom Hiddleston, impersonating Chris Evans, as Loki, pretending to be Captain America  

Tom Hiddleston as Captain America (x)

Look at his little body, tho. When you’re used to Chris Evans in that suit, you’re just sitting there going ‘awwwww’.

aw I thought I was being quick! hahah oh man I love this scene so much :D I still prefer it with Chris Evans tho

I like the final version better, too (not that you would expect anything else from me), but this is great. If nothing else, the full video is worth watching for Tom Hiddleston's shift into an American accent.

Has it occurred to anyone that Frigga, at least in Norse mythology, is supposed to possess the gift of prophecy? She knows the future, and yet tells no one because she knows that she hasn’t the power to change destiny. If we think on the implications of this, then she knew, without a doubt, that what everyone else thought to be a prison break was in truth an invasion, and that she would die as a direct result. All her decisions are made knowing that they would lead to her death. Maybe that’s why she makes such an effort to see to both of her sons right beforehand, and looks so very sad. Despite all this, she still acts bravely and faces her fate like a true warrior goddess. What an awesome lady.

OH THANKS NOW IM SAD

I thought it was interesting how she hid Jane like that, given no one knew the true nature of the prison break. Now it all makes sense.

AND NOW IM SAD

which is exactly why i am uncomfortable calling what happened to frigga “fridging”. she made choices and had agency in her death, and while, yeah, there was some manpain resulting, i can’t really bring myself to believe that it was the sole intent of this event.

frigga is way too awesome for that.

am i pissed she died? yeah. you betcha. but she had an active hand in what she likely knew was her own fate, and she protected jane. i am not going to cast that away.

Yeah I mean. Women are going to die in stories sometimes. And it would be WEIRD if the men who supposedly loved them, for example their children and partners, weren’t made sad by this.

What bothers me about it isn’t Frigga’s death, specifically. Taken in isolation, it works within the story. She has agency in all of the choices that lead up to her death. And while her children and widower are sad that she’s dead, there was more to her death than just providing that emotional backdrop for Thor and Loki’s teamup

HOWEVER

It’s also within a wider social context of women, especially mothers, dying for the plot.  And it’s hard to separate that. The mothers are ALWAYS the one who die so their children (almost always their sons) can go on adventures. That’s what’s disturbing about it. It’s not the individual case, it’s the overall tidal wave of dead mothers.

just saw this movie, the entire theater went reverently silent when this happened, only broken by a low whistle, a giggle, and someone quietly whispering “oh my god”

in the the theater i was in, someone whispered loudly ‘is that necessary’ and someone across the theater half shouted ‘YES’ and everyone giggled

bless whoever deemed this like 10 second scene necessary to put into the movie

Look if you’re going to make Hemsworth sculpt his physique that much you owe it to the world to include a shot like this in every Thor movie ok I’m pretty sure Obama made that a law

McKelvie’s looking out for us.

can we just appreciate the fact that thor 2 had absolutely no boob shots or male gaze shots and the only eye candy shot we got was a totally pointless-to-the-plot slowly panning upward shot of thor’s abs glistening in the sunlight
