Post-Ragnarok Thoughts (Includes Spoilers): 

Thor, post-Ragnarok, doesnt really know what to do with himself. he’s lost. so he pushes some buttons and manages to space-skype-call steve rogers. thor relates to steve what went down, and basically goes. im king even though i didnt really wanna be, not really sure what to do please help. 

and steve goes hey have you ever heard of democracy

 so thor, having found a way to maybe not have to be king of asgard or at least be king with a lot more explicit support, delightedly calls a shipwide meeting. he explains the concept of voting (maybe not like. super clearly) and issues ballots. the vote goes like this:

Everybody who’s not really sure what’s going on with this voting thing just votes for thor. that seems like a safe call. some of the really confused ones just write in their own names. a fair number of other asgardians, who actually understand what’s happening, vote thor on purpose, but a lot of it is confusion.

Loki votes for himself. he doesn’t really want to be in charge of this mess but honestly he can’t help himself. Several of the escaped gladiators also vote loki, mostly because they didn’t really follow the whole loki-thor dynamic and loki summoned a giant flaming magma man to kill a planet, which was pretty cool. that guy seems to have a handle on stuff.

the Valkyrie votes “Thor, lord of sparkles.”

Every child votes hulk. they were all issued ballots because nobody realized they maybe shouldn’t be. dr banner votes Hiemdall. 

literally every person who has a good grasp on the situation votes heimdall. thor votes hiemdall.

hiemdall loses to thor by one vote. it was heimdall’s. he voted for thor.

yeah heimdall ABSOLUTELY knows exactly what he’s doing when he votes for thor. he sees everything, he knows how the vote will go. he has watched literally every single member of the line of odin go off the rails while trying to run asgard, and he wants no part of that mess.

he’s heimdall. he doesn’t have to be in charge to do whatever the fuck he wants.
