joss whedon: loki tortures and murders people for fun, and, despite being the god of CHAOS, is a fascist who says things like “it’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation”
taika waititi: loki is an annoying little shit who day-drinks, puts on theater about himself, and fucks his way to the top
joss whedon: loki and thor are gods, so they always talk proper and posh and in cryptic riddles so for no reason. it makes them seem more powerful and mystical.
taiki waititi: one time when they were kids loki turned into a snake because he knows thor loves snakes and then thor went to pick up the snake and then loki turned back into himself and screamed “yueagh, it’s me!” and then he stabbed thor
Marvel’s Black Panther: “UN Meet and Greet” Exclusive Deleted Scene (X)
They really, really should have included this in the movie. It’s such an important, precious show of development that has been taking place between these characters. From the man who arrogantly asked “Does she speak English?” and got cold stares and hissed answers for it to this, to Everett making the effort to learn their language and the others, while grinning at his slip-up, genuinely appreciating the effort and thanking him for it.
They learned to respect each other, heck, probably even like each other, and this whole scene would have shown this so perfectly.
(Also, who wants to bet with me that Shuri taught him the phrase and got it wrong on purpose?)
WHY TF ARE THEY ALWAYS DELETING GOOD AND MEANINGFULL FUCKING SCENES
I was thinking about that question Seb got asked at Wizard World about how Bucky was making money in the two years before Civil War no Mackie he was not a dancerand consider this:
Bucky as a cook.
scary-good with knives
never needs an order repeated / never fucks one up

picking up red-hot pans/handling hot food without getting burned because he’s using his metal hand
getting the habit of wearing his hair up in a bun (or in a hairnet!!)
learning to enjoy food again
(aka, how he got thicc)
because the Winter Soldier only ever ate to replenish energy or was force-fed through a tube
going to the market for good produce for the restaurant (plums!!)
being an uppity restaurant-patron’s worst nightmare when they make the mistake of asking to see the Chef.
I think this might be my favorite scene from the movie.
I just realized Bucky has never seen aliens before this. He’s only ever dealt with super soldiers and impressive tech. So, you know he wakes up from his lovely cryo nap, they slap a new arm on him, and then they’re like “Here’s an actual god, aliens, and a talking raccoon that wants the arm we literally just gave you after the dude whose parents you killed blew off your last one” and his tired gay ass is just like
