Quotes of Heartbreaking Little Shit.

icy-mischief:

“YOU LACK CONVICTION.” 

This is a magnificent scene.

1) Because Coulson, period.

2) Because he figures Loki out first. “You lack conviction.” Loki lacks certainty on a deeper level. He lacks certainty that he is right and that this is what he wants, and he lacks a real moral grounding on which to fight for his cause. He has double-thought and deceived himself into thinking he is some dark savior. Deep down he still thinks he is the blue skinned monster that his family could not possibly have ever really loved. Put simply,Loki doesn’t even know what he wants. If he wants to win, WHAT he wants to win, HOW he wants to win it. He has this myopic determination, but that’s just a coping mechanism for being as internally confused as he was in “Thor.” 

3) Coulson recognizes this RIGHT AFTER HE WATCHES THOR AND LOKI INTERACTING, and sees the “fun of it” leaving Loki’s face once he’s dropped Thor out in the metal death trap. Because Thor stopped fighting, and LET Loki drop him out that metal death trap. Because Thor knows Loki needs to feel like he’s won. Like a heartbroken child that needs to feel validated, even in the most twisted way. (If you don’t believe me, just look at the gifs of Thor’s face and the way he leans back from the glass and just stands there frowning in confusion, and, then, disappointed resignation). 

4) THE FACT THAT LOKI NEEDS TO PAUSE TO JUSTIFY HIMSELF TO COULSON, A MERE “ANT,” WHICH GIVES COULSON THE OPENING TO SHOOT HIM, PROVES THAT COULSON IS RIGHT. LOKI IS INSECURE IN HIS MISSION AND ITS SUCCESS, AND SO HE HAS TO MANUFACTURE THE BOMBAST AND THE DEFENSIVE WORDS TO MAKE HIMSELF FEEL BETTER AS MUCH AS TO PROVE HIS ENEMY WRONG. Magnificent writing. 

come home.

Then you notice that Loki is actually crying in the last gif.

Loki’s face here when Thor says “your imagined slights” absolutely breaks my heart. It says so much. He looks so tough throughout the rest of the movie, but here for the first time his expression shows how hurt he is that even now his brother doesn’t understand all the things he had to go through that drove him to do what he did. Because let’s face it: Thor is such a big innocent puppydog that he sees things the way he wants to and doesn’t realize all the things that Loki had to suffer. He doesn’t realize that Loki was never accepted among his peers, never given the same amount of respect by the Asgardians because he was different, never even given the same amount of love by their father. This scene shows how upset Loki is that even now Thor doesn’t realize why he went to the extremes he did, which obviously can’t be excused, but somehow after everything he did Thor still doesn’t even understand why. It’s like yet another reminder to him of how no one ever bothered to understand how he was feeling, let alone to do something about it. And that one face he makes here says so much.
