Frenemies?
Everyone talks about how betrayed Thor felt when Loki turned against him, but can we take a moment to discuss Fandral? The prevailing feeling in the fandom seems to be that the Warriors Three (and Sif) grudgingly accepted Loki’s presence because of Thor, and Loki felt the same towards them, but I’m not so sure that’s the case…at least with Fandral.
Pre-Frost Giant revelation
Loki has a moment of badassery when Fandral is in danger. He looks pretty pissed. Is it because no one was supposed to get hurt in his scheme or because it was someone he cared about?

Post-FG revelation
Fandral is the one to speak up on Loki’s behalf after Hogun suggests he betrayed them.

The seed of doubt
I’m gonna call this the moment their friendship fell apart.

After Loki’s imprisonment
How much you wanna bet Fandral’s “he will betray you” was just as much of a personal feeling as a warning to Thor?

Frenemies?
Everyone else: If you betray Thor again, I’ll kill you.

I like to think that if Fandral had gone to Svartálfheim with them, he and Loki could have repaired some of their friendship. Maybe.
