#at least Loki's situation is understandable - even with the villain coding - while Thor attacked jotunheim because he was angy and wanted to

[worstloki]

Loki’s been calling Asgard out for its hypocrisy and genocide and colonialism since 2011 but apparently it wasn't as important until Thor got around to realising that it was an issue and naturally that took him literal years to do, and even then it was because his life was literally crumbling around him and he saw a detailed colour-coded diagram 🙄🙄

#no offence to literally every other character that heard the phrase 'of the nine realms' and SAW thor's love for violence first hand.... #but... well... full offence for no one questioning it #also i would like to say: SHAME on thor for arguing against loki destroying jotunheim and knowing asgard's war history and not asking #apparently he only questioned genocide long enough to fight loki over it and never asked any follow up questions at all #thor KNOWS about BOR and ODIN and about how they had war and genocided but for some reason its only bad when LOKI does it??? #even loki knows genocide is a bad thing and the oly reason he even considers doing it to jotunheim is because he's having a breakdown #asgard dehumanising the race into monsters wasnt the only thing that convinced loki's fracturing mind that it was okay to do anyways #sure that was what motivated THOR but he's the hero right so we'll ignore that #LOKI meanwhile had the racism AND the internalised racism AND the war on his hands AND proving his worth as a son AND the breakdown #at least Loki's situation is understandable - even with the villain coding - while Thor attacked jotunheim because he was angy and wanted to #LITERALLY - that was the LITERAL reason #meanwhile even while drowning in sadness and internal conflict Loki was able to point out the hypocrisy of everything with ''why not?'' #because what Loki is planning to do is actually saving Asgardian lives that Thor would've lost if things had gone his way instead #if the lives of jotuns arent worth anything what difference does it make anyways right? thats not a life its just a creature right? #but thor has suddenly pulled a 180 degree turn for NO APPARENT REASON - we are NEVER shown why he decides genocide is wrong #suddenly Thor and Loki have reversed their goals and LOKI isnt the one advocating against a fight and he doesnt even understand why #Loki in trying to be like Thor and prove himself worthy like Thor has in his mental state actually managed to become what Thor was #and when he gets told off for it - first by thor and then later odin - he knows nothing he does will ever be enough to be worthy to them #not only was who he was - he very identity - a lie ... but the actions and goals he'd spent his life striving for had always been worthless #Loki returns in Thor: The Dark World and straight-up points out the hypocrisy of Odin and Thor once again #Loki's been continuously pointing out that if his actions are wrong then SO WERE ASGARD'S this entire time #so no you cant praise ragnarok for ''calling asgard out'' as capitalist colonialists who went around commiting genocide to control people #if you're going to credit anyone for that you're going to HAVE to credit loki #he's been the only one with sense on asgard for the past thousand years and all asgard did was treat him badly for it #ANYONE else would've snapped sooner and Loki is a literal angel for managing a thousand or so years without killing odin/thor/frigga already #he even went on to forgive them and focus instead on himself moving on from the abuse #meanwhile THOR knows the violent history but doesnt think its bad until the person he's fighting (hela) turns out to have been a part of it #and its not finding that out that sparks that realisation... he doesnt actually buy into that being bad until he SEES the mural #thor apparently needs pictures of hela hung up where his used to be in order to see anything wrong with forcing subjugation of other realms
