Tom Hiddleston-a Cambridge-educated, classically RADA-trained, Golden Globe and Olivier winning Broadway actor-is one of the greatest actors of this generation tbh. His acting is so transformative, shakespearean, evocative, and passionate; his characters convey so much with even just their eyebrows lol. Loki became more popular than all the avengers for a reason. He deserves all the praise.

I love Lily but her moaning and “hmmming” all through this is annoying. And Tom is incredible but looking at the clips of the movie in Essex, I have to wonder about the 3 day unshaven look. Would that have been acceptable in the time and place? That’s really a more modern look isn’t it? (Which I hate BTW.)
I will NEVER lose interest in Tom Hiddleston's Loki. He could play that character forever and I would always be interested. He's seriously created and grown that character.

they are both so charming. I could listen to them for hours
What a transformation for Lily. This pairings is so spot on.
I'm not one to blow smoke, but Hiddleston is a very special actor in his generation. I don't have the words to express my adoration. How he manages to maintain a grasp on humility with all the praise and pomp is beyond me. Thank goodness he still has not lost his humaneness.
