I will digress here a bit (as I often do). I finally came back home yesterday evening and I managed to watch the MCM panel on full screen, not on my phone and a couple of things I noticed (and I really think that person you are talking about either met Tom at a bad day - cos everybody has one - or he just asked not to be disturbed during rehersals....the problem is that when you get the "nice guy" label, it is a bit hard to get rid of that one as well and everybody expects you to be a shiny rainbow all the time)
Few points from the video:
Jonathan was starstruck by Tom. It was obvious and we tend to forget he is really younger than Tom in age and carreer.
Tom loves Loki. Period. Everytime he talks about him, his eyes shine, he is driving force behind the character and the show.
Him and Sophia have a great relationship. You can see the glances they keep exchanging.
Sophia mentioning Tom running around. We know he tends to do that, refering back to the love for the material.
Tom and his "I have to name every single person who worked on this because God forbid I would take some credit"
Owen and Tom seemed to have developed a real friendship. It is not unusual but these tend to end when the filming ends.
If you are not a complete asshole, you keep in touch and meet here and there but this seems to be beyond that. Probably because of the intense pandemic time? The way Tom touched his chest when he was talking about Owen would suggest that.
I love Owen and I would have never thought he would be at the MCU and working with Tom. My life is complete
Both Tom and Sophia must have been incredibly anxious teenagers. Tom always being hard on himself, Sophia probably unhappy about how she looked....good for them now (I think we can judge from it that Tom tends to have some anxiety issues until now? Would make sense with him disappearing from a public eye from time to time. I know Sebastian Stan is also very shy. Maybe Tom had his "good times" somewhere between 2011 and 2016, maybe because he buried himself to work a bit? And then got worse....but it is just a theory I have.)
Tom playing with his hair while thinking about the answer is a new thing and is incredibly cute. He is shaved so he probably couldn¨t play with his beard anymore
Also, why is he shaved and he does seem to be a bit more buffed which makes me wonder if he is just changing looks or if he is preparing for filming.
Sophia´s pregnancy is further down than we thought so maybe the filming may start sooner? Sophia suggested 2022 for S2 (filming or streaming, we don´t know) so it is a good thing.
Jonathan with his "pull up your pants and wear a belt" was too funny. I often say kids these days will run naked one day with the pants under their knees
The pantomime about season 2 was funny. They seemed all a bit nervous in the beginning (did I hear Tom´s voice shaking a bit in the beginning?) but the interviewer was really great (however her accent was very strong!
) so the managed to relax.
And I am generally very happy we got that one in full, some new photos as well and that Tom seems happy and well. I am just so glad Loki worked out the way it did. Few freaky fans and twitter hate aside, he can be proud and the people in the room loved him. Him showing up later for the photo at cosplay was great as well.
I got exactly what I wanted from the MCM (except that I couldn´t be there!
), and more. Let´s hope he won´t go into a mole mode again for a few weeks now (he probably will but what do we know)!
