#i adore the delivery of this line #there’s none of that gross ‘i say don’t touch me but what i really mean is i’m playing hard to get’ garbage #there’s no sexualised violence here with heaving bosoms and bared throats and rapey grabbiness #because for one thor would never #and for two she is not fucking around #she ain’t got time for that shit #same when she punches loki out #even with that potentially sexy chest-straddling moment there’s no lingering shot of her spread thighs or a significant moment of eye contact #she just lays him out pure and simple #and while i’m at it even when she slams him into the wall with her knee #that *was* sexy af and loki clearly thought so too (bc he’s a big ol masochist and loves getting the shit kicked out of him) #but she was so utterly in control of that moment down to her snarl and her delivery of ‘choose your next words wisely’ #no lingering body shots #no sexy touching #just her rage and her sheer undeniable capacity to back up that rage with honest and immediate violence #what a good movie #thor ragnarok

↦ In Norse mythology, a valkyrie (from Old Norse valkyrja “chooser of the slain”) is a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Selecting among half of those who die in battle (the other half go to the goddess Freyja’s afterlife field Fólkvangr), the valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens and sometimes connected to swans or horses.
