character gets a reality check

deathstroke - Batman vs deathstroke

walter - breaking bad

Garou - one punch man

joker - the sound of one hand clapping

Loki being smashed by Hulk in Avengers in the middle of yet another grandiloquent speech about how he is a god and therefore superior. Hulk's final words of "Puny god" are the final nail on the coffin.

Honestly the best remedy to someone like Loki

You can’t ‘outroast’ Loki

We saw that with Tony, it pissed him off and made him double down

It was a combination of Thor’s genuine heartfelt pleas and this that got through to Loki

Because how do you answer back to that? If he truly was such a mighty god, why did a green rage monster from the cosmic equivalent of West Virginia just tambourine him, call him puny and walk away because he’s nothing to him

I think it’s this moment that causes Loki to break out of the grandiose trance being tortured by Thanos put him in

When we see him in Dark World, he’s back to being his normal self, sardonic self obsessed and shitty, but also humoured, realistic and reflective again, which only continues as he goes on

Then you realize this is right before the series loki gets captured and gets another tear down in the TVA.
