#but loki's journey is about giving into one's worst instincts in the face of loss and gradually coming out of that

Nothing against Thor, I like him. But, but I always felt like after Thor 1 he didn't have much to do. I mean, his plots/his character arcs always revolved around saving someone else (Loki/Jane). With that, coupled with Marvel's mania for having Chris shirtless, it's not too hard to understand the fandom's approach to objectifying Thor. That all-loving hero trope just isn't as appealing as an antihero with a dark past.

lmao are you lost? Are you talking to the right person? bc on what planet would you think that me, tumblr user kinnoth, king chief of thor apologists, would agree with anything in this statement?

Like, Thor's depth and complexity of character is more or less THE ONLY THING I've talked about for the past 18 months. Like yeah, we like Loki round these parts, we think he's got some stuff going on worth talking about, but Thor? MY BEST BOY THOR?? Whose whole fucking character arc is about perseverance in the face of your entire world getting fucking rocked again and again with disillusionment? Like that is the opposite of having nothing to do buddy, that's the most anyone has to do. Thor is about grief; he's about realising that every foundational aspect of his reality is false; he's about doing the best you can with the information you currently have and realising that the best you can do is still harm because you are inherently an agent of harm due to your position within a system of harm.

Thor is about dismantling injustice. Thor is about the conflict between duty and self. Thor is about reinventing yourself until you no longer know who you are anymore, and then figuring it out anyway.

I mean who the fuck--
