Fave lines in this part:

> Tried again. Failed again. Toni Fucking Stark prevails.
> Thor sounds like Shakespeare’s slightly demented sockpuppet
> who knows about how pretty explosions are and tells Toni she should be a god of fire and machines

(The latter's got to be some aspect of how the Allspeak works, but I haven't made sense of it yet, either.)

I mostly just crack up everytime Thor opens his mouth and the best line in the entire movie was the one about him palying with his mother's drapes.

And it can't really be the Allspeak thing because Loki sounds more or less normal, most of the time. I think it's pompous ass thing, more likely.

(And it's still less awful than it was in the comics.)

My thought was, if Thor and Loki are both speaking Allspeak, maybe they sound the same to each other, but when whatever magic happens that impresses it on the ears of a listener as their own particular language, it's affected by the speaker's mindset?

...Which I guess is another way of saying the 'pompous ass' thing. I'm just saying, maybe he doesn't know he sounds like he's using Shakespearian phrasing, but the Allspeak is influencing his dialogue with personality flavor? And as Loki is obviously a lot more with it, it interprets him as closer to the current culture, thus no ye olde dialogue from his direction? Without either of them necessarily intending it.

I think it has to do with personality. Loki adapts to his surroundings, plays into expectations, blends in. Thor is the opposite of that, cough, pompous ass, cough- He's unapologetically himself.

So that is reflected in their language?

Either way, it makes for good, cheap humour, and there's never anything wrong with that, right?
