I could listen to Tom Hiddleston for hours and still want more. It's not just his soothing voice. The way he responds is so beautiful. He really thinks through the words he's speaking and you can even see it in his eyes. You can see him shape his sentences in his head as he says it out loud. Absolutely love this guy, his talent, his characters and everything that comes with Tom Hiddleston 💚🖤🥰

Perfect comments. I’m not ashamed to say I replay many of his interviews while I’m doing other things around the house just to hear his voice. Not only is he a master at all things Shakespeare, he quotes authors right off the top of his head (Samuel Beckett on this one). He is brilliant. And very easy on the eyes even tho he is now taken & a Dad

What I like most in Tom's interviews is that he always thinks so deeply about the answers he'll give. Like, he could just answer the questions without that deep analysis, but he always does it. It's like he's really into it and not just there cause he has to. Him love for acting and Loki is amazing

I am an aspiring actor and I must say, Tom Hiddleston is one of my biggest inspirations. In an industry like this it is very hard to lose yourself, yet he is such a down to earth, well-meaning person. His portrayal of the characters he plays are phenomenal, and I aspire to be half the person he is when I am older

This interview is why I love Tom Hiddleston. He cares so deeply about his characters. He does not see Loki as a comic movie villain, he sees a tortured spul trying desperately to find purpose. Amazing actor. This is what is missing from the current MCU films. Only Jonathan Majors has been able to bring real gravitas and pathos to a villain role in the post-Endgame MCU.

Time stamps that made me smile: 2:05 - when he walks out, and he has this cute little smile on his face, and then he bows before sitting down 2:12 - confusing microphone 3:12 - when he puts his hand on his chest and smiles at the compliment 3:30 - when we first see him in the up-close shot 3:36 - when he says he's standing on the shoulders of frost giants - this man loves his character so much its so cute

I love this moment at 38:00: ‘I have to wrap it up’ Tom: But we were just getting started This interview is almost 50 mins long but it is still not enough. I really want an educational course of lectures about Loki and the fathomless philosophy of ‘Loki’ by Tom, with all the references and sources. Or an audiobook. Or I dunno, something long enough for him to say everything he has and wishes to say. Many people mentioned, it’s not just his voice or good looks. The way he approaches his work and his craft is incomparable, especially in the realm of superheroes. The way he remembers and names people to honour them. The way he speaks! It’s not just good education or right books or upbringing. It’s all that and a little bit of something else. He’s a beautiful soul and you can see it’s not just a polite façade to be convenient or on trend. In many ways a timeless guy. (Give me a call if you need me for your Tom Hiddleston praising tedtalks, I’ll be there)

@thedarkknight2221 7 ай бұрын

Loki has one of the greatest character arcs of all time. And a large part of that is because of Tom Hiddleston! His character started the show as a god who wanted to rule everyone and everything in the universe for selfish reasons, to a god who selflessly watches over and protects the MULTIVERSE, in isolation, from a throne outside of time and space. Mobius told him that he needed to choose which burden he could live with to fulfill his purpose, and as heavy as it was, this was the only choice in which all of his friends and family as well as all of the people of the multiverse would be saved. He is a true hero now. My heart absolutely breaks that this Loki is now and possibly always will be alone, but at least he can watch over everyone he cares for from afar. ALL HAIL LOKI, THE GOD OF STORIES!!!!

Great interview and Loki played by Tom is such an intriguing character! Loki is a very layered character, he’s great that way, he’s like an onion there is always another layer to dive into! The writing for his character has always been fun and exciting to watch and truly happy he didn’t end up playing Thor and got the role of Loki! The best parts of the Thor movies is watching Chris and Tom playing brothers all the good and the bad it was the glue that made those movies worth watching! I love season 1 & 2 of Loki, best marvel story on Disney plus!

Listening to Tom talking about myth, his journey as Loki becoming a hero, redifining his story, all the feelings that he felt and delivered in the portrait... is really fantastic. This man has really something inside so deep and profound and loving towards his role as an actor and respect for the audience that is amazing. I'll never thank him enough for the emotions not only as Loki but even for the other roles that he played one for all The Night Manager that i found terrific. Thank you Tom from the bottom of my❤

i remember zapping onto thor 1 as a child on a random day, it was streaming on a channel on free tv. I had heard of marvel, but i never was really interested. Although I missed the first 30 minutes of the movie, i was so captured by loki that i had to look it up. He is the reason I got into marvel and he is also the reason why I'm still following these stories

I remember watching THOR in theaters and feeling completely underwhelmed, I was probably reading Strazinsky's Thor run at the time so I was comparing it heavily; But it wasn't until Thor & Loki's fight at the end, Hiddleston with tears in his eyes, that I was sold. Not on Hemsworth or Hopkins, not on Branagh's lackluster direction or any of it, but on Hiddleston's Loki performance. Amazing work ever since.

What a gift of an interview. I am so thrilled to listen to it. Thank you for moderating, and thank you to Tom Hiddleston for his dedication to authentic character development for Loki. Loki is such an amazing character to follow from the genesis of his life to the ascension to his unwanted caretaker’s throne. I loved hearing the behind the scenes of discussions about story and character direction, especially about Ragnarok/Infinity War/Endgame leading into the TV series.

Loki is incredible and both seasons SHOULD have led the way for phase 4 through whatever. It should have been THE MAIN story and focus as a way to keep things connected and SEEN by everyone much like the Infinity Saga. The audience's lack of participation in Loki's story post Endgame is why no one really knows what the hell is going on in the Multiverse Saga. Hopefully Marvel will narrow in on a way to connect everyone.

@gineyvra 6 ай бұрын

bcs before sylvie killed hwr, sylvie pushed loki to the past tva through the time door, while loki's temporal aura and loki's being was supposed to be in the future(the moment sylvie killed hwr), that's why after that sylvie pushed loki to the past tva, mobius didn't recognize him, that causes loki's entire being was in a flux. loki's temporal aura kept trying to rip him back to where he was supposed to be, in the future.
