** Look at the helmets of the guards flanking the throne, look at Heimdall's helmet. They have flying horns. When Loki takes the throne, he adopts his helmet, with excessive horns. He's declaring himself a guardian of Asgard, like Heimdall.

** Given the MCU hasn't mentioned the All-Tongue as of ''Love and Thunder'' and the above is a deleted scene, another explanation is that Asgardians are just ''old'', and they learn the languages of the Nine Realms on a whim, as we see when we learn that Thor studied Groot as an elective back in school in ''Infinity War''.



* Agent Coulson's comment about Thor [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]] the guards and making them look like minimum wage mall cops makes perfect sense. Asgardians, being a race of gods and goddesses, are many times [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld older]] than humans, and have centuries worth of fighting experience in their lifespan.

Really? You don't think SHIELD agents are well-trained in hand-to-hand?


* Agent Coulson's comment about Thor [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]] the guards and making them look like minimum wage mall cops makes perfect sense. Asgardians use melee weapons in warfare and must use them in close proximity to enemies, increasing the chance of engaging them in unarmed close-quarters combat. Humans, however, use firearms, missiles, and other long-range weapons to kill [[LongRangeFighter from a distance]], so hand-to-hand combat is very unlikely. Also consider the fact that Asgardians, being a race of gods and goddesses, are many times [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld older]] than humans, and have centuries worth of fighting experience in their lifespan.

\n* Why do the Asgardians speak in [[TheQueensLatin British accents]] despite being associated with the ''Norse''? In the comics, the Asgardians are written as speaking in YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe all the way back to Creator/StanLee and Creator/JackKirby's run. According to Creator/TessaThompson, this is the reason why she portrayed Valkyrie with a British accent despite Creator/TaikaWaititi and Creator/AnthonyHopkins advising her not to.

*** Thor also isn't particularly ''malevolent'' at any part of the film - he's reckless and impulsive, not to mention a bit of a man-child, but Odin knows it's not like he's going to take it out on those around him if they had nothing to do with it.
