Here are my thoughts on this.
I found that particular scene interesting because of how Geto shut Gojo out. We can compare how he interacted with Gojo to how he interacted with Ieri.
With her he was completely chill, he had no issue telling her about how he'd massacre all non-sorcerers, I feel like he'd have no problem telling anyone else that (if they weren't actively trying to arrest him). He willingly answers her questions.
But when Gojo confronts him? It's "you already heard about it". Geto loves talking about his vision. Why not with Gojo?
I would argue Gojo isn't that good of a person, well yes, that scene about him is understandable, but he also did mention how he's frustrated of protecting the weak. And in Shibuya, he opens his domain while knowing it'd endanger everyone. Plus, Gojo's reasoning for not approving of Geto's goal is not because it's bad. In that scene, Gojo reasoned that "it's impossible". Not "it's wrong", "it's bad" or "it's evil", no, "it's impossible."
And even in that scene, Gojo asked Geto if he should massacre everyone, had Geto said yes, Gojo would've wiped out everything. He trusted Geto to the point he'd allow himself to become a mass murderer because of his judgement.
If Geto had persuaded Gojo, then they could've succeeded.
But Geto made zero effort to even recruit Gojo, with his power Geto's vision for a sorcerer-only world would easily succeed. He just pushed Gojo away.
I think that's because Gojo would be doing most of the killing, so all crimes would mainly target him. And we know Geto really loved Gojo, his vision is something he'd willingly sacrifice his life for, but not Gojo's.
You know what is FOUL?!
The fact that Geto told Gojo, "Well, you know, you could do it!" Excuse me??? No the fuck he couldn't!!! Gojo could never do that. Would never do that. Sure, there was that one time that Gojo asked him "Should we kill everyone here?" BUT (important to fucking note) Gojo said "with the way I'm feeling RIGHT NOW I wouldn't even feel it" bc Gojo had literally just brought himself (practically) back from the dead. He was the least human he had ever felt with all the trauma caused by Toji, BUT THAT WAS AN EXCEPTION, THAT IS NOT GOJO ON THE REGULAR.
To tell your bestie, who YOU KNOW is inherently GOOD, a guy who kept his infinity on 24/7 even when it was frying his brain just to protect Riko, who didn't sleep, who made sure her last moments were filled with happiness before she merged with tengen, THAT is who you're saying could wipe out the world?? Then, he has the nerve to ask him if he's the strongest because he's Satoru Gojo or is he Satoru Gojo because he is the strongest? When Geto is the only one who Satoru has ever let himself just be Satoru with. Satoru pushes against Geto's ideals but ultimately acts with the same conviction, fights by his side, made pacts with him to save Rikos life against the power of tengen who is the balance of everything BECAUSE THAT IS HOW MUCH SATORU VAULES PEOPLE'S LIVES,
and Geto has the audacity to look at Gojo and say to his face: "You could do it. You're telling me I can't do something that is possible for you."
Like, Geto, baby, it's not possible for Satoru Gojo. ABSOLUTELY NOT. But, it is possible to do it with his abilities and for the first time, that's how Geto was addressing him. As someone with the Six Eyes and Limitless technique.
That's tragic! That's heartbreaking. And I think Gojo realized that that is how Geto was looking at him too when he had never looked at him like that before.
Geto really said, "You think your Hollow Purple is devastating? Let me break your heart, Gojo."
Kina of itching to make a SatoSugu analysis after @everythingseasoning's analysis. (Check them out, they're amazing with their analyses)
I'll see if I have time for it.
NO. NONONONO NO. I JUST CRIED. WHY.
completely unrelated to football but lady liberty made me do it
The pre-Christian Norse spiritual worldview is animistic, which means that it's informed by direct experiences and observations of nature, interpreted through the lens of human experience and feelings. You know how we watch snow swirl around think that it looks playful, or watch a wildfire and think that it looks angry? It involves that kind of thing.
But when most people think of pre-Christian religions, they tend to imagine later forms of Greek and Roman polytheism. The problem here is that these Greeks and Romans had begun to think of divinity in more abstract, transcendent ways, and had begun to imagine the gods as rulers of things rather than the spirits of things.
Loki isn't the lord of mischief, he's the spirit of mischief. He's in the little voice telling you make that shitpost and to stop caring about being "cringe." He's in your cat's impulse to knock something off the counter to watch it bounce or roll. Loki manifests in every accidental innuendo and hilarious typo, in every spilled cup of coffee, and every paperwork mix-up. (This is why he's a shapeshifter! He can be anything!)
So when media depicts a Loki riddled with repression and shame - say, for example, a Loki who sneers at modern media or the culture of the common folk - it's depicting a Loki who can't really Loki. That poor spirit has been bound and gagged.
Certain popular media has depicted Thor and Loki as some kinds of opposites, but when we consider the animist perspective we can see there is a serious problem with this. Loki and Thor being depicted as companions isn't some random whim; it's a reflection of the reality that thunderstorms bring chaos.
A Loki informed by Norse mythology shouldn't be complaining about Thor's "oafishness" or whatever, he should be encouraging him to wreak even more havoc. Loki shouldn't be here out of some real or imagined obligation, he should be here because he expects he's going to have a pretty good time, and because he hopes to make the situation as ridiculous as possible.
Loki being the spirit of mischief is also why depicting him as hostile to humanity isn't really in the spirit of the pre-Christian Norse worldview. Mischief and chaos are not anti-human; they're just realities of the world that humans inhabit. I get how it's easy to infer that Loki must have something against humans due to his oppositional role toward the Aesir in the Ragnarok story, but that's an extremely Christian reading of the narrative. The story is simply describing the collapse of civilization and end of the world as we know it through Norse animistic comprehension. Loki only has an issue with the Aesir, who bound him in a cave to be tortured with serpent venom. Humanity is neither here nor there for him.
Unpopular opinion but...
Had voldamort chosen a different house elf and targeted the Longbottoms both snape and regulus would've been his most loyal death eaters
we'll stick together, it's okay
