7. Loki Turns Good… Then Very, Very Bad

Okay, so Thor: The Dark World is not the best Marvel film. Chris Hemsworth delivers a good performance but his relationship with Natalie Portman fails to captivate the audience. At least his on-screen time with Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, however, is a different matter entirely.

This is the film where the two brothers are exactly that for the first time. No longer adversaries, not battering each other to a pulp, but genuine siblings united by a singular desire: to defeat Malekith. Ultimately, Loki dies a heroic death helping Thor defeat the Dark Elves and an emotional Thor laments the loss of his newly-nice brother.

But then, Loki isn't called the God Of Mischief for no reason. Again, kudos to those who stayed behind at the end., because it emerged that Loki has merely used his hallucinogenic powers to trick everybody into thinking he’s gone - and that he’s also taken over Odin’s body.

Perhaps we should have expected it, but it was still a huge deal.

Sport and Film. I love them both. And I'm extremely lucky to write about two of my biggest passions in life. Most of the time, I'm at the Daily Express newspaper writing about football, tennis and F1. But, when I'm out of there, I let my imagination run wild and pen down my thoughts on the film series' I love. WhatCulture gives me the chance to write about the movie industry - an industry I really care about. And for that, I'm extremely grateful. And hope you, if you're reading this, enjoy what I think about stuff.
