WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING
See the difference?
In first photo he clearly just landed on Earth, and he looks like he was falling through a space dumpster and had been swallowed by a space dumpster monster and got out from it’s rear end - but still, he looks like HIMSELF. He controls Selvig- but it is not zombifying- it is whispering ideas into humans ears, subtle and unnoticable. Like Loki would do.
In second picture it’s Loki again, a year (or so) after he fell through abyss and he doesn’t look like Loki from Thor- he looks like a drug addict in desperate need of a dose. He is all sweaty, shaky, his eyes are hollow, he is pale, and stumbles when he walks. What exactly happened to him?
It was clearly NOT the fall because we’ve seen him after crash landing - and he was OK, relatively healthy (he wasn’t badly injured since he walked without stumbling! ) and in his own mind. But now- he to me is zombified. And also- he already had Selvig under his control before- but in the beginning of Avengers he has to re-do it again as if he never met the scientist.
What the hell happened to him?
Thanos, that’s what. I believe after Loki got a glimpse of the tesseract, Thanos somehow learned about it and abducted Loki. Tortured, threatened, put on “drug” of some sort- may be the scepter or some other sort of energy, poisoned Loki’s mind.
I also think that if Loki wasn’t under the influence, he would have stopped when Thor asked him to. The way he hesitated in Avengers, the tear that fell from his eye when he stabbed Thor- all suggests that he still loves his brother and wants to come back. But he can’t. at least before he gets rid of his connection to Thanos. And this connection was NOT limited to their alliance. It was something more close, more physical.
The way Loki was speaking about freedom- several times- wasn’t it suspicious? wasn’t it like his subconsciousness cry for help?
And in the end- with that “drink” phrase- he suddenly- after all the crazy shit he’d done- turned back into his NORMAL self! as if he was slapped back into consciousness (and well, he was).
Also - think logically- why would Loki, who is a smartass, exchange a source of limitless power (and he knew exactly what tesseract was since it was once held in Odin’s treasury!!!) - the one he could eventually use for his purposes (and I know he would- in time, after thorough research and trials and errors) for a boy scout group of aliens who can be destroyed by not even superheroes, but just regular troops if need be? (I mean, let’s face it- if invasion happened somewhere, say, in San Diego, we would have needed only Tony Stark and Black Widow to close the goddamn hole in the sky. All other “problems” would have been dealt with by Marines and Airforce.) And it wasn’t even an army- one mother ship- ONE? Earth is big and humans have teeth, it wouldn’t have been nearly enough to subjugate us or- it would have led to total destruction of the planet.
Anyway- why would Loki exchange unlimited power that would have granted him ALL the realms if he wanted to for just one realm? It doesn’t make sense.
Only it does.
(To those who think this theory is my attempt to vindicate Loki’s actions and make him an “innocent”- it is not.) The sceptor’s control was not “breaking man’s personality and creating something new”- no- it was bringing up the strongest characteristics of the man and making them extreme.
So, my thought is:
Loki found the Tesseract and thought of using it to conquer Asgard (and Asgard first of all, that would be his first target of revenge and the point of his attention, not Midgard) and return again, as Aesir’s king.(attaching Midgard is not even reasonable from warfare point of view- it is not a strategic place since most of the power is concentrated in Asgard. It is like attacking a farm and leaving a military base for later. Say, Midgard falls- so what? other realms come together and retaliate. Illogical.)
He was contacted by Thanos, who promised him to show tesseracts real power and “lured” Loki in his realm only to later reveal his real plans of claiming Tesseract for himself. And Loki got caught like a butterfly in the spider’s web. And here I repeat- Loki had plans for revenge and thought Thanos would assist him with those plans, only he didn’t expect Thanos had plans of his own and he was nothing but a pawn in them.
Thanos’s influence brought out features Loki already had and made them grotesque- all his anger, pain, jealousy, thirst for attention, taste for mass destruction ( let’s face it, Loki has a predesposition for it- he already tried to destroy the whole planet once). Once done, Loki became a tool for Thanos- a sort of a rabid dog on the leash. The one who bites and thrashes and attacks people and wants to be medicated and saved at the same time but can’t since the collar is still on and the leash is in it’s master’s hand. It only is saved when the leash is thorn off.
My sentiments exactly.
Pretty good. That explains a lot.
Oh my god. This makes perfect sense.
BRAVOOOOOO.
Maybe the cognitive recalibration came from the Hulk smashing him intot he floor at Stark tower…
I really like this theory, as after my second watching I was wondering about Loki’s appearance and behaviour just after landing on Earth. Honestly, he looks awful in this scenes and, of course, he stumbles on the way out- clearly there is something wrong with him. And everything above beautifully explains that and suits my headcanon. Bravo!
THIS.
Yes… yes. This does make sense.
Usually my argument would be “But no he did those things on purpose because reasons,” but I LIKE this theory. Because really. Loki’s not stupid. If he came to earth for the Tesseract he wouldn’t just trade it away. He wouldn’t just use it against people he already thinks are beneath him because it’s fun. He would use it against Thor, against his father, against the people that lied to and abandoned him. Conquering earth is nothing. The person he wants to kneel is Thor.
So yes. Tl;dr - This is brilliant and I love you. And now I have want of a fic in which Loki is a drug addict.
I felt from the moment Loki appeared in Avengers that he’d been drugged, or made addicted to something that made him easy to control. Loki only truly went crazy after Thor fell for Jane. In truth, he only wants Thor’s love but someone, likely Thanos, has twisted that.
FINALLY, thank you for this gif, whoever made it.

… It’s from a cut scene where Loki gives birth!!!
That’s my theory and I’m sticking with it XD
Stopped the gag reel to answer a question and look back to find this
So, what I want to know is what the heck is happening there. I’m pretty sure Loki almost falls over. He’s bents pretty low in the first gif and maybe it could look like he’s picking something up (though what escapes me), but in the second gif, one of the recently “sceptered” attendands puts his hand on the small of Loki’s back as if to support him. He’s wired to protect him, afterall, which would support the falling over theory.
So. Yet again. Poor Loki. Oh my.
I’m almost certain that during the time he was missing Loki was captured and tortured by the Charturi (spelling?) leadership. They learned what happened to him and twisted it so he did their bidding.

“Hey did you ever get those new arm guards you asked for?”
“Yeah, Coulson gave them to me last week.”
“So clearly it’s just my requisition forms that get lost in admin”
“What did you ask for?”
“A pet chinchilla”
“I don’t think you’re going to get a chinchilla, Wade.”
“Nope. Apparently mom loves you best.”
Date Night with Clint and Natasha
So, basically, our son is going to blow himself up, make himself sick, out do the super soldier and make Bruce Hulk-out?
Tell me you’re seeing this too. What even is this.

Just a suggestions ;)
I’m already looking forward to Avengers 2! I hope Loki breaks out and wants to destroy everything again, it never gets boring…
Doesn’t Thor 2 come before Avengers 2?
