Another one for the collection:

"Audio of a line / subtitle deliberately put over a very specific choice of shot to have a very obvious layered meaning."

Loki really, REALLY wants Mobius 😭

[charcubed]

This is literally a love story.

Loki in season 1 thought love is an imaginary dagger because he’d never had a real love (and everything with Sylvie wasn’t real either) but Mobius has been redefining love for him the entire time and showing him what love is or can properly be!!!!!!!!!!

[charcubed]

Chaos & order.

Science & fiction.

Form & fuction.

A bit of both.

Loki is – and always has been – a (queer) love story.

DEADPOOL 3

Mobius is crouched behind something as bad guys move in. It’s not looking good.

Suddenly… an explosion of green magic. And then a familiar hand reaches down to help him up.

MOBIUS: Loki?!

Loki pulls Mobius to his feet and opens a green portal.

LOKI: Come on.

Loki leads Mobius through the portal to safety nearby — and keeps holding his hand.

LOKI: Hi. You okay?

MOBIUS: I am now. How are you HERE?

LOKI: Practice. But I’m still learning and can’t hold this for long. Mobius, listen, I—

Loki shimmers and disappears.

MOBIUS: NO! Shit.

Mobius looks down at his now-empty hand as Wade runs by.

WADE: Wow, star-crossed lovers, huh? That’s rough, buddy.

MOBIUS: What?

WADE: He’s gotta talk faster next time. OR, better idea: less talking, more kissing. We’re rated R!

He brutally murders someone to demonstrate.

WADE (continued): Take advantage, baby!

Wade runs off.

Mobius processes. He still has a job to do, there’s a lot going on, but…

Yeah. He’s gonna be thinking about that.

listen to me

I need everyone to understand that this shot came after a very deliberate storytelling sequence where Sylvie and Loki separated, and after Loki made the active choice not to follow her (a reversal of s1 ep2), and after he made the active choice to stay at the TVA and stay with Mobius

and speaking of Choices that were made: this image right here was excessively choreographed and is very POSED

this moment right here is not, strictly speaking, “realistic” behavior; they had everyone freeze and Loki do this action of putting his hand on Mobius’ shoulder because it’s for the audience to Notice

so WHAT IS THIS CONSTRUCTED POSE TELLING YOU? WHAT ARE YOU NOTICING?
