#wouldn’t that serve a better function in any forced political marriage(ish) concept?

I like the jotun horn jewelry/decoration thing but i think it wouldnt be like. Gold. Bc where are they getting gold from? Where are they mining it and smelting it and stuff? Idk why. It just doesnt compute in my brain, it doesnt seem to fit their whole thing and mentslly i csnt imagine the place having a ton of gold thst didnt get ripped away when they lost the war. Even though aesthetically i get that it looks nice.

I don’t even mind Jotunheim naturally having a lot of gold *in the past*, (or whenever) I just don’t like the way people use it as an orientalism-vibe literary device. There’s often no explanation given for the gold either, especially in a post-colonised world unless there’s a note on ‘this is ALL the gold Jotunheim had left and LOKI has it bc he needs to look pretty (and like a woman)’

#it’s wild #like maybe they used to wear bands of gold on their feet or something in the past but #did Jotunheim LOOK like it has any good at all in the MCU #where is that coming from beyond the orientalism #ASGARD is the gold planet #why doesn’t ASGARD supply the gold #wouldn’t that serve a better function in any forced political marriage(ish) concept? #wouldn’t that be a way for Asgard to establish their power in the scenario?? #whatever #I think Thor should be the one in gold jewellery btw #Loki can have green seaweed or ice jewellery or something I guess
