Anthony Hopkins in Thor wasn’t phoning it in I’ve seen him phone it in this was just him turning the ham up cause they told him he could be god and get paid a million dollars for it
Taika Waititi had to tell him he was too over the top could you imagine how hard he must have been going
#tru bros never let you live down that time you told anthony hopkins #to tone it down [starlingshrike]
i forgot that loki faked his death in the first thor movie as well as the second one. like i think this is just something he does. i bet he did it every other week when they were kids like theyre 12 and loki breaks some fancy asgardian vase in the course of a prank and hes just like welp i guess i better fake my death
corrollary: even at the peak of his Faking His Death phase when both frigga and odin have just learned to take in stride thor still 100% believes it every single time it happens like its literally every other weekend he comes running into his parents room in tears like FATHER, MOTHER, LOKIS DEAD, IM THE WORST BROTHER EVER and they just look at each other tiredly and wait for heimdall to come and tell them where hes hiding this time
he learned it from his dad Mr Odinsleep
U kno what that’s fair
The fact that the Asgardian people didn’t seem to care when Odin turned out to be Loki in #3 makes much more sense
