#he doesn't want to have to put himself against thor to prove he's got worth

[worstloki]

the thing is alot of the 'heros' genuinly did some bad stuff but its all glossed over because they were sad and became 'heros' but loki didnt even do anything as bad as the heros and literally was the reason hela was stopped (without loki nobody would of been there to revive surtur) and yet his reputation is still evil and literally the only reason why is because thor screwed with everybody's opinion of loki before they had a chance to see for themselves. if in avengers 1 thor had actually stopped and said 'to be honest this really is out of character for loki' and hadnt just accepted what was happening and been like 'yeah lets crush my brother' then maybe the avengers would of actually figured out the very obvious fact that it wasnt lokis fault. if thor 1 had been focusing on lokis pov instead of thors we would of seen the humane side of him and not the villainous act he put on (the act he put on because he had just found out that in asgardian culture he was supposedly a monster and had no idea what the fuck to do) and we would of seen loki go through the same redemption ark through the movies that thor supposedly went through in thor 1 (although the only fucking difference you can notice in other movies is that he doesn't throw mugs at the floor anymore where as loki actually develops somewhat of an acceptance towards himself and a more forgiving nature than anybody he actually forgave deserved)

the only part i think could be disputed is “if Thor 1 had been focusing on Lokis pov instead of Thors’ we would’ve seen the humane side of him and not the villainous act he put on“ because while the film was focused on Thor we do get to see that Loki is, relatively to everyone around him, a “good person” at the beginning, and even later in the film he’s clearly conflicted and feeling as if he has no other way to prove himself, and it shows, much more than any of Thor’s words or actions in the film because even though Loki gets half the screentime more of his characterisation is explored simply because for Loki the first Thor film is a time of crisis and he’s incredibly proactive about responding to the new information of being adopted which is trying to shift his entire worldview. 

#Loki WAS relatively compassionate through Thor 1 but this may be because I'm comparing him to Thor and Odin #but Loki openly shows he cares through the entire start of Thor 1 #have you SEEN how he LOOKS at THOR? there's one part in the vault where Thor looks around the room #and his eyes pass over Loki for a second and he doesn't even acknowledge him but the second he's looking around you know what loki does?? #he turns his full attention to Thor just in case Thor decides to address him and when Thor stops looking around he sulks #its not even a proper sulk its more like he's just resigned and used to being looked over #but he's still showing he cares #not to mention even without the deleted scenes Loki demonstrates the most emotions in the film... which is how you see how conflicted he is #he doesn't enjoy fighting and killing for fun like thor does #he doesn't want to slay all the frost giants like thor does #he doesn't want to have to put himself against thor to prove he's got worth #he does all that because he feels its the only way to gain even a semblance of acceptance or sense of purpose and it SHOWS #more screentime of loki would've been great but loki's side of the story was done pretty well in thor 1 #other than deleting the openning scene the audience gets to see the major points of loki's emotional changes and his plan coming into play #its thor's pov that ends up less interesting because he's oblivious and needs to learn some humility and humanity in my opinion #Loki puts on a show in Thor 1 and the best part of that is the audience can tell
