kinda insane that we got a shot of loki looking at sylvie's frozen face right before we get lokius' goodbye and how it overlaps with mobius saying "what are you going to do" which is exactly the reason loki is there, to ask him about what they should do. if you compare that scene with original one it's legitimately insane how much has changed. how loki doesn't hesitate to ask for help and how mobius doesn't hesitate to give it to them. how open and vulnerable and defeated loki is, whereas in the original they're angry and manic and scared and trying very hard to hide it with their anger. how in s2 we have closer shots, creating a more intimate feel while in s1 there's a clear distance both within the shots and between them. s1 loki is guarded and have their arms crossed over their chest the whole conversation while s2 loki instantly relaxes their arms as they see mobius and gesture with their hands and remain open because it's mobius they're talking to, no matter what time. the miles of differences between the two scenes are truly is so telling of how much loki trusts mobius and how much he came to mean to them. also crazy to me that mobius was the only one they went out of their way to say goodbye to. like it's canon that while yes loki went for help to mobius they already knew what they had to do, they just needed the finally push from mobius and. they wanted to say goodbye. what the fuck.

I finished watching that Avengers film (Avengers Assemble, as it may or may not still be titled in this region)!
First up, I must warn anyone new to the MCU via the same route as myself that THERE IS NOT A SINGLE ALLIGATOR IN THIS MOVIE. Furthermore, Loki is played by A MAN for the entire ten hours that this film runs. Though actually this isn't as disappointing as it sounds, he's probably the most entertaining character in it and if nothing else the endless fucking fight scenes usually pause for a moment or two while one of the heroes confronts him verbally. (And then the fight starts again, but it was a nice respite anyway.)
I don't know how I feel about this film because there's certainly the basis of an entertaining action-film-with-jokes in here but that film is, alas, about an hour shorter than the actual movie. I generally have a low tolerance for fight scenes and this film could be not unfairly described as one interminable fight/action scene (with occasional Loki Interludes). I hadn't even seen that much of this film via tumblr gifs already, which makes me think it's not that beloved? Many scenes were just too long, like when the Avengers were all bitching at each other (I get it already, they're fighting!) and the bit where Thor and Iron Man and then Captain Steve level a forest together went on long past the point where I was thinking "if Loki HASN'T just fucked off while they were fighting then I'm gonna assume getting captured is his actual plan" (it was!). Because srsly he must have sat there patiently waiting for them to finish, perhaps dreaming of a better life in which he was an alligator.
Anyway, they were on a flying aircraft-carrier (NOT the Valiant from Dr Who just exactly like it), and then it crashed except no it didn't, and then we were in New York and they were going to nuke the city except no they didn't. To be honest I'm not sure what the plot actually was beyond "everyone wants the MacGuffin Tesseract for some reason." I don't know why we were in Germany other than so that one German guy could spot Obvious Fascist Rantings in a movie about *checks notes* the United States assembling a force of almost unkillable fighters who act on their own authority and can do as they like because we know they're good people who will always act in the interests of America the world. (In fairness I think this alarming set-up is the plot of a later - or possibly earlier? - Captain America film that I know I've seen but remember nothing from.)
Speaking of, did they cut a bunch of stuff out about Steve America having a crisis about America and the fucked up shit it's got up to? He seemed to be having a sad about that but then he didn't any more, though I admit I could have missed him having an important epiphany of some sort during the endless, endless, endless violence. SO MUCH VIOLENCE. And I am genuinely not sure who caused more damage in the final fight hour sequence between the Bad Aliens and the Avengers. I suppose that's why they keep mentioning that battle in every following Marvel work?
AND OH YEAH PHIL DIED. Phil, who was besties with all the Avengers, even the ones he met five minutes before he died. Everyone was VERY broken up about Phil dying, and he (and some carefully-bloodied trading cards) was the spark that ignited the Avengers by dying. See, Loki's mistake was killing Phil! Killing all those other people was fine though. They didn't even have names, let alone trading cards (bloody or otherwise)!
Have I mentioned that this was quite a long film? I am trying to repeat myself a lot in this 'review' so as to evoke a feeling in the reader akin to the experience of watching people hit each other and things blow up over and over and over again. Because I am an artiste, an auteur, a very tired audience. But Steve was quite good, whether or not he had an arc, and Thor's always entertaining. Tony Stark I strongly dislike for a number of reasons. The Hulk is at least green (and Bruce's angst was weirdly relatable given that his problem is turning green on occasion). Arrows Hawkeye and the Black Widow are (I think) the Canonical M/F Pairing, having bonded together in the unspecified backstory and then further brought together by being the Avengers with the least exciting powers. (Projectile weaponry? Groundbreaking!) And somehow her outfit has a tit-window despite not having a tit-window. But don't worry, she also got called a cunt so this is THE MOST feminist film you can possibly imagine! No wonder it took everyone so long to see through Joss Whedon's bullshit!
Then it ended. At last. I did actually have a break in the New York hour of the fight scene because all the camera movements and close-up violence were making me dizzy. That wasn't fun. But I'd watch and enjoy an hour-long edit of this film, probably. The sad thing is that the interesting parts, where the camera more or less stays still for an entire shot, are likely the bits that were most cut down by the studio to allow the fight scenes room to breathe.
Also, in finishing, I would like to draw attention to this dude at the Posh People Gathering in Germany, whose collar and tie combo is APPALLING and DREADFUL and I think Loki should have murdered him for that alone.

@benevolentgodloki continued from x.
Vers eyes narrowed when she caught that sliver of reaction to God of Thunder. Her eyes narrowed further as she found herself dubious of the captor as he made an entire show of who he was. Funny, now she didn’t doubt that he was a god, because only a god would conjure a little magic show for their station. Vers snorted, she appeared bored by him and his spectacle.
“Loki,” she said, “Reports stated you died alongside the Asgardian Queen.”
She was tempted to have him shocked, if only to humble him. Vers restrained herself, instead, she turned her attention to a panel next to the cell. After a few taps on it, a small drawer popped open inside his prison, and offered a hefty looking cuff.
“Put it on,” she ordered.
