“Are you going to leave me?”

 #you guys #do you know that Merry is eight years older than Pippin #so pippin’s whole life #Merry has been his big cousin #looking out for him #teaching him about frogs and fishing and all the best places in Hobbiton to hide from adults #and then when they got a little older #Merry probably gave Pippin his first mug of ale and his first pipe of tobacco #MERRY HAS ALWAYS LOOKED AFTER PIPPIN #because Pippin was young and reckless and needed looking after #in hobbit-age Pippin was barely more than just a kid when they left on this quest #and merry looked out for him there too #BUT NOW PIPPIN HAS GROWN INTO A HERO #and it’s his turn to protect Merry #oh my god you guys I did not expect these HOBBIT FEELS

YOU GUYS JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW MANY FEELS I HAVE ABOUT THIS FRIENDSHIP OK????

Thor, I love you to bits, but we need to talk about your definition of ‘in my youth’: 

The Jotuns must pay for what they have done. March into Jotunheim as you once did. Teach them a lesson. Break their spirits so they’ll never dare to try to cross our borders again.

#I remain intrigued by this quote#because like many of the films statements about time and asgardians it makes no goddam logical sense#but meta to the rescue:#I like the idea that this is how the aesir experience time#not as a progression#as we do#where yesterday is recent#last year a while ago#and ten years ago a long time ago#but in epochs and eras#marked by changes in themselves#they don’t age much#not like we do#whether you think they are young for the same-ish time we are and in their prime longer#or if they are still kids at 300+ years old#either way#for them time is purely relative#and nothing changes much#not technology not culture not the people around you#so you judge time by internal markers#thor judges his own maturity as beginning on the day he regained mjolnir and lost loki#so before then he was a youth for all he thought himself a man#for only a youth would court war#and now he knows himself a man#though still battle-hungry#(because it’s THOR c’mon)#but not war hungry#and there is a difference#and it’s about putting others wants and needs and safety before your own#which is what he was lacking in thor 2011 ( amberfox17 )

Can I offer a suggestion? I think that Thor’s style of formal, antiquated language here is the key to deciphering this line, and I think that what Thor is saying here isn’t referring to his youth as a long time ago, like Asgardian time is different, or that he’s lived a lifetime since, but that the phrase in my youth, I courted war is Thor talking about his own immaturity from the point of view of experience. He’s saying, I was/am immature, and fighting was something I sought. The comma is really important, it makes the sentence meaning shift. In terms of a comparison, think of the phrase, ‘in my ignorance, I made an error’.

“I spent like 10 years of my life pretending to fly around on a broomstick and you’re asking me if preparing for a love scene was ‘tricky’ because the other person also had a penis?”

“Any word on Barton?”

“He was among the agents defending the Treehouse, but it’s likely he’s the only one who wasn’t captured to get out alive after HYDRA took over.”

“Are you sure?”

“Well, it was either him or security footage caught some other guy with a bow and arrow as his M.O. escaping the base.”

“Sounds like Hawkeye to me.”

“He’s not calling himself Hawkeye anymore, probably to keep the government off his back. Last I heard, he went underground and got himself a new codename.”

"A new codename?”

“Ronin.”

Scarlett [Johansson] is just the most amazing, sweetest girl on the planet. We’ve done several, outside of the Marvel universe, we’ve done some other films together, and I always relish my time with her because she’s always so… She’s way smarter than most people think and an incredibly talented person, and she makes me laugh so much. She’s hilarious. You know, we used to spend time together at like six in the morning because we were in the same make up trailer. It was me and her, her music, her make up people and my guy, and it was the best time of the day for me. x
