I asked this question on the page;

>What was Loki looking at? He tosses Tony out the window. Tony suits up, flies back up, and Loki is still looking down at something. What was so interesting about the floor?

Mr Death deleted it with this reason;

>Good lord we are getting into the realm of extreme microanalysis here. There's no answer to this question. It's just an effect of the blocking and where the actor's head happened to be pointing when they yelled Action.

Are non-mods allowed to delete others' headscratchers? This just seems pointlessly passive-aggressive. The first question on the page is about the lack of visible earpieces, which I don't think is any less petty and nitpicking than my question.

I don't know about any rules. But I personally think that things on pages like Headscratchers & WMG shouldn't be removed unless it has absolutely nothing to do with the movie/topic, those pages are there for theories & analyzes & stuff like this, imo it wasn't necessary to remove it especially since it isn't a long entry.

Headscratchers pages are for Fridge Logic style questions, and this, to me, is an unanswerable question that has nothing to do with the plot of the movie. It's overanalyzing something that just plain isn't there.

Look at the scene again — Loki is still rising to his feet after being knocked down, and his head is down in the process of doing that. So the question "what was so interesting about the floor" is pointless — he's not looking at anything, he's just getting up and his head is still tilted downward at that point.

Thank you. That's a much better answer. I still think "why is the character apparently looking at nothing?" counts as a Fridge Logic question.

Also, it's very difficult to realize Loki was knocked over by the Mark VII unless you have a good eye or were watching in slow motion. Until just now, I thought he dodged the Mark VII, or was spun around by the impact.

This technically means Loki got bested twice by Tony; once when the suit knocks Loki over, and again when Tony blasts him. And in Thor 2, the Avenger Loki imitates - and mocks - is the only one who never individually beat him. So it is, in fact, plot (and character) relevant.
