#but a lot of people went with the theory that loki would rather not bump into the hulk again as if loki wasn't raised on Asgard

[worstloki]

i love how a bunch of people just went ahead and assumed the hulk traumatised loki or that loki is afraid of the hulk when endgame 7 years later showed loki joking around him and being calm and even giving him a little wave from the elevator right after being slammed into concrete by him a bunch of times

#like... everyone thought Loki's body constitution was pretty solid because he was able to get up and walk around with a few scratches before #it was already known that physically loki was able to get up and move around fine after the initial shock of being stopped mid-monologue #but a lot of people went with the theory that loki would rather not bump into the hulk again as if loki wasn't raised on Asgard #warrior culture plus thor as a brother... he'd BETTER be able to handle getting thrown about a bit at this point #and so he did #but looking at it from loki's point of view... the hulk just helped him out and managed to hit his head when no one else's blows had #he got an EXPLODING arrow to the FACE and it left him slightly miffed and annoyed #if the hulk hadn't saved him by smashing him around and freeing his mind then Mjolnir was possibly the only alternative #loki has no reason to worry that he'll be wacked around by hulk again because he already knows he'll live through it #being thrown around didn't even knock him unconscious so its guessable that it had the effect of an elbow to the head - and body #loki really pulls though with his ability to just go with everything #i bet loki could talk down the hulk if he wanted #if anyone can talk the hulk away it'll be loki #i bet loki feels indebted to bruce for the hulk helping him that's why he's nice to him #he even smiles at bruce earlier in the helicarrier and if the tesseract can show glimpses of the future -like that one theory- maybe he knew #yes loki says 'i have to get off this planet' when he sees the hulk on sakaar but that's more likely because it'll give away his fake cover #he didn't want to be associated with thor either remember #if he was really going to scam the Grandmaster and scram he wouldn't want to leave behind any connections or hints about Earth in the least #but other than that loki is perfectly cordial around bruce and the hulk #a theory could be made that Bruce is his favourite avenger (saved his mind/life) with Tony in second and Natasha in third place #Steve of course gets a special position that is 0th place making him higher than 1st place but also gives him a net worth of 0 #which is why loki makes fun of the spangled man so often
