funny story but I’ve never heard anyone criticize liking Thor by saying “but he killed people” or “he attempted genocide” or “he tried to conquer a realm” :/
#im just saying#Thor's on-screen kill count is higher than Loki's#¯\_(ツ)_/¯#and Thor has been the one saying he'll slay all the jotuns since he was 7 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#he also then went on to try and proclaim a war to ''break their spirits'' after his failed coronation because ''as king of asgard''#that#that's what conquering is#he wanted to take the armies and beat up an already put down planet#even though he was already all set to rule nine realms he thought it necessary that his first act as king be establishing military dominance#might I add that Loki attempted genocide under extenuating circumstances? and for the purpose to prove himself? and end a war?#Thor was just doing it for fun#''but Thor changed his mind at the end of the movie!'' mhm ok when. and how. tell me how a day in Jane's presence taught him worth of life.#because Asgard views Midgard and Jotunheim *very* differently so even if Thor values humans after becoming one for a while#how does that relate to the Jotuns? which he's been raised on war stories on since he was a kid?#and I'm not saying that Thor's more easily influenced but Loki spares Jotun lives where he can in the opening of Thor 1#even though they've both been raised on the same stories and with the trademark Asgardian god complexes#and while Loki is allegedly the one who lets the frost giants in at the beginning he's also attempting damage-control the entire way#Thor is painfully unsuited to a throne let alone the one to the nine realms at that point and Loki is the reasonable one who is also ignored#yeah he resorted to letting 3 jotuns into the vault and he stretches the truth to thor about odin's sleep and#he also sets things up so he can be a hero by making a deal with the enemy BUT you know what? it WAS the most effective way to solve things#there was a war? ok cool if Laufey tries to kill Odin and Loki kills him it's fair game#problemo solved war over Loki's done crisis management and doesn't need to worry about having another father either#then THOR comes along with his treasonous friends and spills the beans and Loki#Loki's going to have to prove himself again for real when he TRIED to avoid the war and unleashing the bifrost? most efficient way to do it#Odin had already left the planet to a slow death and all Loki did was try and do what Thor had failed at#if you're not criticizing Thor for a failed attempt at genocide why criticize Loki for being a bit more successful?#they're in the same boat here except Loki has reasons behind what he was doing that wasn't his ego and that goes for New York too#check and mate#for real though I don't think i have ever heard anyone argue that Thor killed people :/ everyone is on about him being a himbo sweet bean :/#I must find out where so I can determine whether cultural differences are being infantalized or it's the fight:non-fight-time ratio
