Unsure what the best part of the “Thor Ragnarok” snake joke is:
– Thor liking snakes
– Tiny!Thor’s instinct upon seeing a new snake to go investigate/pick it up
– Loki knowing that Thor likes snakes, and then using this information to get back at him (or possibly being completely unaware that Thor likes snakes and just assuming that a random snake on Asgard, somewhere, would make Thor curious)
– Loki’s snake plot involving: Thor is happy to see me/snake, picks me up/investigates, I turn back into a humanoid form, yell, and then stab him with some kind of knife/sword. Like not even bite him or anything and or strangle him as a snake. Just like… pretend to be a snake, then stab him as a humanoid. (to be fair, the film version is probably more like what an 6-8-year-old would plan, which… possibly makes it better?)
– Loki smiling afterward, like it’s a fond memory
– Chris Hemsworth’s delivery
– Tom Hiddleston possibly smiling because of Chris Hemsworth’s delivery/the silliness of the story
– Valkyrie’s reaction to this whole ridiculousness
– Tiny!Thor/adult!Thor possibly being more angry that Loki used Thor’s love of snakes against him than the fact that Loki stabbed him
– At least a reference to MCU!Loki turning into a non-humanoid character, which I’m pretty sure is something we haven’t seen before. Since it’s not something he’s done on-screen, and Loki has transformed a couple times (e.g., Odin, Captain America), there’s the potential that turning yourself into an animal is easier than turning yourself into a human, which is interesting, lore-wise (so more magic + more lore possibilities is neat)
– the Jormundgandr implications
The fact that apparently to Asgardians, 8 year olds stabbing each other is not a cause of major concern.
