anyone else think it’s really interesting how when thor found out that gamora was the daughter of the man who killed half of his people, his brother, his best friend, he simply patted her on the shoulder and told her that family can be rough sometimes? like instead of acting in anger or grief, thor immediately tried to empathize and comfort gamora. he lost everything, but he didn’t even think for a second to be mad at gamora for her father’s actions. it just goes to show you how good thor is.
I think this is a great example of how well Erik manages to control the context of whatever scene he’s in. The first time he turns up in the palace, T’Challa tries to shut down his challenge to the throne by referring to him as an American chaos operative, but Erik turns it around on him by announcing his Wakandan name and heritage in xhosa, recontextualizing himself as a rightful Wakandan challenger.
Here T’Challa is taking him at his word, addressing him as a fellow Wakandan royal whom he can legitimately challenge for the throne, and Erik turns it around on him again by responding and identifying as an American chaos operative, who feels no obligation to respect Wakandan traditions.
“In fact, during the audition with Chris Evans, the script says, “Spidey flips into scene,” and Tom goes, “Oh, should I do that?” Evans is like, [sarcastically] “Oh, yeah. Yeah, you just flip into the scene kid. No, you just walk in.” He does it. A standing flip, jump, flip, land. Even Chris Evans was like, “What…what happened?” – Kevin Feige, producer and President of Marvel
Isn’t it interesting that Odin says, in effect, “don’t attach yourself to humans because their mortality makes them unworthy” while Loki says “don’t attach yourself to humans because their mortality will cause you pain”.
And yet it is Loki who is considered to be the cruel and evil one and Odin the kind father-figure?
