Thank you 3000!


Thank you 3000!


'Starting with ‘Thor’ you took me on a journey. A journey that opened lots of doors to other worlds for me (and I‘m not just talking about Asgard). I‘d just hopped on the ‘Tom Hiddleston train’ a few years ago and let you guide me towards stations that gave me dreams, believe, more self-confidence & hope. And as the cherry on top: inspiration for writing about Loki myself, which truly feels like a desire from my heart.'

"Love you 3000!"

Now that Spider-Man: Far from Home (don‘t worry no spoilers, JUST FOR ENDGAME!) has ended MCU Phase 3, I would like to dwell on that for a minute, if I may. I had wanted to write about Avengers: Endgame earlier, but each time something came in between. It‘s too late for writing a review about Endgame and there‘s enough discussion about it on the internet too, so I‘m just going to leave it like that. I do want to say that I thought Endgame was worthy, a good closure. I liked Endgame much better than Infinity War, I‘m sure you know why.. In fact, I never felt the need of re-watching Infinity War and I wouldn't mind seeing Endgame again.. There‘s always criticism, but in my opinion, For both Tony Stark and Captain America Endgame did very well. To be honest, about Thor I‘m still balancing in the middle. It really relies on what they‘ll do to him in the future. We haven‘t seen the last of him yet, no doubt! And what about Loki? By letting Loki escape with the Tesseract in 2012, Endgame created an opening for The Loki Series. I think that means that everything still is possible. All doors are open. It‘s up to Disney and Marvel to use those doors and what they‘ll do with it. And I‘m seeing this positive. I trust them, but more importantly: I have faith in Tom Hiddleston! Always!

After Endgame, I've been creative by creating 'Thank you' cards for my three favorites. Besides Tom, Robert and Chris Hemsworth received one. Before today (8th of July), I hadn't shared them online yet. Tom‘s card is above. It includes 5 edits on which I edited my favorite Loki quotes in. To get them all in one card, I decided to do IW and Endgame in one edit. I will share all 5 edits in this blog. 

I‘m not going to share the text I wrote in the cards. They have a personal touch here and there, when I‘m writing about what the films and their characters have meant for me. Tom‘s card also has a Funko Fun edit inside, that I can share with you:

>Some more pictures of the Loki Stuttgart Funko Custom can be found here<

All though I made this for the fun, it‘s no lie that I would love to see Tom again in his Loki Stuttgart suit. It‘s one of my favorite outfits of Loki. I feel very thankful to have this Loki Stuttgart Custom.


Tony Stark has so many memorable quotes in the MCU. It seems that the line "I Love you 3000" has a deeper meaning. I read that Robert Downey Jr. said it to his own kids, and if that isn‘t beautiful enough: It seems like the total run-time of all 23 films is similar to the number as well: 3000 minutes!


See this tweet for more about that:


I took my Tony Pop‘s and chose my favorite Tony Stark Quotes. Of course Reindeer Games, Point Break and Shakespeare in the Park can‘t miss. His line "Sorry, Earth is closed today" cheered me up after the beginning of IW broke me, ah yes Tony totally is the God of Marvel. I love his choice of nicknames and of course Lebowski for Thor in Endgame resulted in breaking my laugh again.. Tony is an important character in my Loki stories as well and I can‘t resist on using some of his known nicknames again, but also it inspired me for other ones for example: Shakespeare-sisters for Thor and Loki or Planet Squirrel as a guess for the name of the planet Rocket comes from. Tony, Loki, Thor & Rocket: a golden quartet in stories, gives you lots of writing fun!

Close up quotes I chose for Thor. (The Get Help Funko-Fun is one I made last year) 

I totally ruined my own Get Help Funko-Fun by adding my favorite Thor quotes, but also Thor has lots of memorable quotes we shouldn't forget!


A small part of what I wrote in Thor‘s card:

When I first watched a Thor movie all those years ago, I never knew it would open a whole new world for me. Besides making me develop a love for the Norse Mythology, you also gave me The Avengers as a present. You know, the reason I chose to watch 'Thor' at the first place was because I liked fantasy films with guys with long hair in it. But Thor, (especially) Loki and the stunning world of Asgard helped me through a rough period and inspired me to write about them. 

I would like to thank you for all you gave and shared with us. Thor‘s journey, who I felt so sorry for after he kept losing more and more. You went for the head, yes! For the better I don‘t have a Thanos Funkopop otherwise I would have a made a Thor VS Thanos movie moment 2.0! Once you said: 'No Thor without Loki', and now we saw in what condition he is without him: I truly hope he‘ll get his brother back eventually. But I really liked Thor‘s viking look at the end, his braided beard. It gave me that real Norse Gods/Immigrant song feeling. Hope to see more Thor in the future! 


Loki

Continue with Loki.💗


Creating his card took me the most time. Obviously because I wanted to do a little extra for Tom. Hopefully he can see through the fact that I‘m absolutely no Photoshop pro.. The idea was for all edit to be a bit in the same style. In each edit I used at least one black and white photo of Loki and a color one. Also I used the same layers and fonts to make them have a bit of the same look (as far as I managed) and of course Loki quotes! 💟💓 Actually Loki has too many memorable quotes to add them all haha.


Of course the helmet may keep its colors!

My favorite!

I found some of the edits too crowded because of the Loki quotes, so for the Thor the Dark World edit I decided to not make them dominate the edit. My favorite Loki scenes are the Ta-da scene and everything involved Thor and Loki escaping Asgard, so they had to be in! And of the scenes I think Loki looks absolutely stunning is the opening scene of this film, yes where he wears chains.. Also I kind of cheated with this edit. In my opinion, Thor the Dark World also had the strongest last few seconds that ended a Marvel. Therefore a bit in the back, this smiling mischief-looking Loki is added. 😊 


Ragnarok! In a Ragnarok Loki themed edit, the picture I use as profile photo definitely can‘t miss! 


Darker movies, darker edits..

Endgame and Infinity War in one. To keep the focus more on Loki, I also narrowed down at one quote. I chose the quote that meant the most to me. The sun will always shine on them! 🌞

'I‘m happy Loki‘s journey hasn't reached its End 'game' yet. I‘m super excited for the Loki Series! A whole wide road open for Loki. Wherever he goes, I will follow!'


#ThankYouAvengers


Love you 3000 is a quote I will continue on using in the future!
