For me, "Thor 2" is Loki's solo show.
Indeed, the director's preference for Cthulhu goes without saying. The first scene at the beginning of the feature film was him, and the last freeze-frame scene was also him. Even the final scene of the special effects was his silhouette holding Gungnir sitting on the throne, the background was dyed green. No wonder someone complained about this film and changed its name to "Loki: The Dark World".
Loki, who returned to Asgard, swept away the haggard appearance in the reunion. If it weren't for the shackles on his hands, his untidy hair and the watery beauty with red lips and white teeth, it seems that he has returned to the little prince in Thor 1 period. In fact, Dou Sen himself is not very colorful, but his role as Loki makes people feel that this is the most perfect image in the Nine Realms: tall and thin, pale and arrogant, exquisite and infinitely distorted under the skin, but it is maddening. Magic.
In just 20 minutes of appearance, Loki's personality characteristics were fully demonstrated. He is awkward and venomous, and the hearts of people who play Bora Meng are about to melt, and the neat and powerful show in hand-to-hand combat makes people feel awkward: Who said that the little prince Asgard is not a warrior? In the end, when the truth came to light, the strategy was exhaustive, and it was even more impressive. This is the evil god Loki, his emotions are strong, and his reason is never absent. Shrewdness and calculation flow in his blood, but whatever he wants, it will never escape his palm.
Correspondingly, Loki's plot is also the most touching part. Since the villain has only 5 combat power and the heroine has only 0.5 presence, the main line of the film is still supported by the family disputes of the first family of Asgard, and the core of this contradiction is naturally Loki.

What impresses many people is Loki's awkward nature of duplicity. He should have realized the subtle difference between himself, his brother, and the people around him since he was young. He has been living insecure. In this environment, he has grown into a god of mischief. I have more self-esteem than anyone, and more sensitive than anyone else, the more sad, the more indifferent, the more angry the more smiling. He just nodded lightly when he heard the news of Frigga's death, but when the informant had left, he collapsed and ruined the entire room. Even so, when Thor came to him, he used illusion to pretend to be calm, even if the real he was out of descent. That scene is the place where I most want to cry in the whole film, and it is a hundred times more heartbreaking than his suspended animation.
My other tear is actually a joke of the film. When Loki was first released by Thor, he happily leaned around like a bunny next to his brother, playing his innocuous pranks. When I watched it, I thought of the lyrics "The crazy days, the city lights, the way you played with me like a child" in a recent song "Young and beautiful" I liked, and suddenly I wanted to cry. Due to his environment and personality, part of Loki grew up extremely precocious, while the other part was a child who was not willful enough, lovely and pitiful.
Although the childhood of the God Brothers has not been photographed, the family environment in which Loki grew up is actually quite clear at a glance. The foster mother loves him without a doubt, and it can be seen that she has taught Loki both martial arts and magic. Although his elder brother also loves his younger brother, he often fails to take into account his younger brother's feelings when he is careless. As for Odin, he should regard Loki as his own when he was young, but Loki's growth has gradually diverged from Asgard's values, coupled with his deep inner fear of being discovered, he gradually became biased. And Odin's eccentricity will undoubtedly affect other people's views on Loki who is out of place. The coldness of others made Loki more sensitive and reluctant to express his emotions. For a long time, it became the awkward look now. Obviously weaker than anyone else, he insisted on pretending to be indifferent and calm. As Frigga said, "You see through all people, but you can't see through yourself."
Loki Liesmith, the god of lies, you never know which sentence he said is true or false, but what is certain is that he has a true heart. He loves Frigga and Thor. The rift between him and Odin may be irreparable, but he still loves his adoptive father ambivalently, hoping that he will be sad for his "passing away". Such Loki teaches people how to not love.

don't know how many viewers have noticed that Loki's lines and actions in "Thor 2" are more of a stage drama than in "Thor" and "Avengers". This is of course inseparable from the orthodox origin of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), but I think more of this is to show Loki's own psychological transformation.
From the moment he returned to Asgard in shackles, Loki was acting. Whether facing Odin or being jailed, he is so delicate and elegant, and he doesn't care. As for his heart, it was already a rag full of holes, and even he himself didn't want to take a look. But no matter how perfect a performance is in front of a loved one, there will always be some anger and love-hate struggles, and it will be his bottom. And Dou Sen played exactly such a scene in a play.
Sigh without any partiality, Dou Sen is a good actor and an outstanding actor. And it is only a matter of time before he becomes a great actor.
(A little digression, Anthony Hopkins's acting in Thor 2 is great. The fake Odin he finally played is like himself everywhere, and some very subtle facial expression processing makes people have to think of Loki. "Thor" 2"As a popcorn blockbuster, there are actually two superb roles. It seems that the current model of the blockbuster film US paying British actors is correct, so strong I am the British male gods!)

About the hammer base. Well, although the title is Loki, this is actually the part I want to write the most!
Many people say that Thor is scumbag in this movie, but I think Thor is actually acting. The younger brother always disappointed him, so he decided to despair of him. Don't visit him, use the most indifferent words to stimulate him, tell him "you are no longer my brother, my family". This is similar to Lok's denial of Odin, Thor's denial, and even Frigga's denial! In fact, the first words he said to Loki exposed him: "No more illusions". How could he see through Loki's illusion at a glance if he didn't think in his subconscious that Loki would be distraught over Frigga's death?
Loki is released from prison, and the plot of God Brothers once again joining hands to meet the enemy is the biggest bright spot + cute point of the whole film. From the moment they walked side by side, the climax of the whole film finally arrived. Loki bounced around his brother, playing with his little tricks, which not only turned the audience upside down, but also turned Thor into cuteness. In just ten minutes, his attitude towards Loki changed from cruel to helpless. By the time they yelled at each other on the spaceship, they had become blood brothers with ten fingers connected to each other, licking each other's wounds. They could cooperate seamlessly on the most dangerous battlefield and hand over their backs to each other without reservation.
In fact, as a Hammer Party, I don't insist on the relationship between the foster brothers if they are lovers. For hundreds of thousands of years, they grew up together and fought side by side. Sometimes they were awkward and quickly reconciled, and sometimes they even joined hands to make a girl or something. They are each other's half body, the closest, the most trusting, and the most insufferable existence. This kind of company and entanglement that lasted for thousands of years does not need love to strengthen, they have long been the only ones for each other, and no third party can intervene. But between the two, if it is a completely pure brotherhood, it is not very similar. At least Loki has a very strong possessiveness towards Thor, which can be seen from the vinegar he has eaten for Jane Foster. And Thor, to be honest, he didn't really see what he thought of his brother. The so-called Hammer Foundation is actually Loki's unrequited love. However, a few days after the two discovered that they were not related by blood, Loki was again bisexual + female in the Marvel setting. Development in the future is not impossible at all. What? You said there is a heroine? who is it? Can you eat it?

I heard that because of Loki's success in shaping the image, Marvel plans to make Loki's personal film. Indeed, under Dou Sen’s interpretation, this pale, elegant, sensitive, suspicious, exquisite and powerful, the evil god who loves and hates more than anyone else has become the fullest and most complex image in the Marvel series, and has won it all over the world. The number of female fans is by no means less than those of superheroes. As long as Marvel shoots, as long as it is starring Dou Sen, I only have one sentence left: Take my money.
Finally, as a member of Loki's army, I hope that Marvel will hear our voices and let Thor open up and give Hammer Kido some benefits. There is absolutely no need to worry about not having a box office. Although being a fan of the brains always gives people a feeling of worrying IQ, but there is no way, why did my king's scepter have completely washed my brain?
-------------------------------------------------- ---
Before, due to the unacceptable style of painting, I did not watch "Tale of Asgard" and "Thor&Loki: Blood Brothers". The past two days have made up for it, it is really sweet and then crazy rhythm. I heard that these two are still in the same universe in Marvel's setting, so frantic.
"Legend of the Immortal Palace" can be seen as a prequel to the movie series. As for where the two brothers will go in "Thor 3", I can only pray that it will not be as cruel as in "Blood Brothers". "Over all the millennia, only YOU have ever loved me. Thor, only YOU have ever looked at me with affection in place of condescension. Why, then, am I killing you, and not the others? Because you stopped." It was time to make up Ji Shen's face and brain into a trembling forest, and tears really flowed down. (Well, I’m Yan Kong, but the style of "Blood Brothers" really can’t look directly at it...) It’s worth noting that "Blood Brothers" was released in the same year as "Thor 1", so Marvel does not rule out the movie universe. Set in this comic universe, and the ending of "Thor 2" seems to be able to rely on the beginning of "Blood Brothers", it is really scary to think carefully.
In short, "Legend of the Immortal Palace" and "Blood Brothers" are very good complements to the movie. Especially in "Blood Brothers", the relationship between the brothers and Loki's feelings were deeply and honestly explored. In fact, I understand why the style of "Blood Brothers" is such that I can't look directly at it. First, there is the issue of the audience's age. Second, "Blood Brothers" is so black and bloody to Loki. Such old, ugly and wretched Loki makes me. It's distressed, but if you hold a trembling face, the audience who loves you will not cry and faint. I hope that in the next movie series, Thor can interact more with Loki and have a deeper bond, but don't make it a prerequisite to hurt Loki. I admit my mother's heart, but I just love this bad guy who has committed evil and cannot live, hurting people and hurting oneself, and there is nothing to do.
