“Yeah, that was basically, we did about six different versions of that story, and that was just us standing around while the cameras were rolling and I would just feed them lines and feed Chris ideas for stories. I’d say, “Do another one, in this one say: ‘I was walking through a field, and I saw a lovey Turkish rug in the middle of the grass, and I love Turkish rugs, so I went to stand on it, and it was Loki, and he turned back into Loki and there was a hole and I fell through the hole was was impaled on a whole lot of spikes.’” So we did versions of that, and the one with the snake just ended up being the one we used.”

AMAZING

I choose to beliee every version of this story is true

and is just a different tale of when Loki turned into something ridiculous

and tried to murder his brother

[strangely-normal]

I don’t know what makes this funnier, the idea that Loki kept trying the same prank, or that Thor kept falling for it.

Thor: OH LOOK A PUPPY

Loki: WAAAAUUUGGGHHHHH

Thor: OH NO IT’S YOU AGAIN!

Brb, writing the fic “five times Thor fell for Loki’s obvious repetitive snek trick and one time he… no, just six times he fell for it.”

Did you mean: all of Norse mythology !

The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming.

Thor: Ragnarok

What I love about the Thor movies is that they’re ridiculous and epic and fill me with joy. They are unabashed about their bouncing comic book absurdity in a way that actually feels more like an X-Men movie than the rest of the Avengers franchise, and I feel extremely positively about that. The first Thor flick, you may recall, was a grand, cape-swirling Shakespearean family drama in a gigantic golden space castle, with a comedy-of-errors astronomy interlude off in the hinterlands. Which tracks, given that it was directed by Gilderoy Lockhart himself, bonkers English thespian Sir Kenneth Branagh.

Incredibly, they managed to top themselves with their director choice this time. And how. Ragnarok, the third in the Thoeuvre, was blessedly given to maverick Māori improvisational auteur Taika Waititi, master of the misfit picture and maybe this blog’s favorite filmmaker. Applying his same incomprehensible genius that gave us a deeply lovable and hilarious buddy comedy about the broken foster care system, he took Marvel’s millions and turned out a rainbow-hued team-up smash-‘em-up about storming into your hometown on a fireworks-spewing party boat and tearing down everything built on imperialism and conquest. He’s perfect, it was perfect, I’ll go on.

RAGNAROK HOT TAKES

Is there any show that *wouldn’t* be improved by including a dance scene with Jemaine Clement of ‘Flight of the Conchords?’ I doubt it. ‘Legion’ just introduced him as Melanie Bird’s comatose husband Oliver, a role that allows us to revel in his sheer Jemaine Clement-ness: a Nietzsche-quoting Beat poetry fan in a white suit, trapped inside a giant ice cube on the astral plane.

Legion recap, Chapter 4: A quick trip to the astral plane.

You have to admire this show’s absolute dedication to being 100% bonkers, 100% of the time.

boo-cool-robot asked:

Do I know anything about Star Trek? Absolutely not. Do I want to know Magneto's favorite captain? HELL YEAH

Bahhahahaha thank u for this perfect joke set-up that I don’t think you knew was on the offing!

Erik Lehnsherr’s favorite Star Trek Captain: is, fatedly, Jean-Luc Picard. He WILL. NOT. FALTER. FROM WHAT IS RIGHT. TRY ALL YOU WANT, EVIL, Jean-Luc Picard hollers at darkness, I’M NOT GOING ANYWHERE — only he does all this metaphorical hollering in a relentlessly serene soft-voweled ~proper~ English way that Magneto is unfortunately/famously…weak for. Uniquely, in this case, as he is literally Patrick Stewart.

When Charles finds out Picard is Erik’s favorite he is predictably smug, so Erik insists his favorite series is actually Deep Space Nine, which is credible enough to perhaps be true, being the Star Trek that made its name in its first season with an episode entirely about what sort of emotional reparations are and are not gained from trying war criminals.

Any modern interpretation of Mystique should include her turning into other people and imitating famous reaction gifs while having every day conversations.
