I am not even slightly interested in either of them in anything else or in actual life. In fact I would say they are a turn OFF in real life interviews when I’ve come across them.

But as those characters - absolutely

YANBU and entirely correct

Bellasblankexpression · 22/06/2021 21:25

Has anyone told you how wise you are @HumphreyCobblers Grin

Are you me?

It’s absolutely correct. And James Marsters as Spike too

Bellasblankexpression · 22/06/2021 21:26

Omg Spike YES. Everyone raves about Angel but nope. Saw JM in something else and was wildly unmoved

Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby

Bellasblankexpression · 22/06/2021 21:27

@HereIfYouNeedMe another excellent shout. I can appreciate his beauty in other things but I don’t intensely crush on him the way au do Tommy Shelby. I think it’s the menace combined with the outfits

AdelindSchade · 22/06/2021 21:27

Same

CourageCalls2Courage · 22/06/2021 21:29

You are absolutely correct. Both Bloom and Hiddlestone both look like plonkers in real life but as Loki and Legolas absolutely beaut!!!!!

EscapeTheCastle · 22/06/2021 21:30

OP, you love one goodie and one baddie!

Bellasblankexpression · 22/06/2021 21:31

@EscapeTheCastle I’m all for equal opportunities Grin
They’re both quite commanding in their own way which seems to do something to me

Viggo Morgensten as Aragorn and only as Aragorn (swoons slightly at the thought of him going through those doors)

Camomila · 22/06/2021 21:33

Another one agreeing with you!

Have you been watching Loki on Disney+? It started off a bit slow but I really enjoyed episode 2

Hestartedoffsowell · 22/06/2021 21:34

Did someone mention Aragorn 💕💕😆!!

Bellasblankexpression · 22/06/2021 21:34

@EdithGrantham I will always choose Legolas first but Aragorn is very impressive striding about a bit battered and sweaty in his leathers isn’t he? He would be a definite second. But you’re right, I don’t think I’ve even noticed VM in anything else!

I would have Indiana Jones all day long during an international adventure but Harrison Ford seems really a bit disappointing (even in his prime) and this was somewhat confirmed by that book Carrie Fisher wrote.

Bellasblankexpression · 22/06/2021 21:35

@Camomila yes! I felt the same was a bit bored with the first half of episode one but love it now and it has reignited my Loki love!

A million times yes! I’ve found my people Grin

Tomatobear · 22/06/2021 21:36

Yes yes yes!

Bellasblankexpression · 22/06/2021 21:36

Welcome @QueenOfThorns

wipes the dribble off the floor so Queen can enter without slipping over

Tomatobear · 22/06/2021 21:36

Wait, YANBU. I meant yes, you are right

EscapeTheCastle · 22/06/2021 21:38

I like Loki a lot too. My fav thing - don't tell anyone- is when he's at that big comic con telling the fans to bow down.

TheNinny · 22/06/2021 21:38

I thought TH was hotter in the night manager than Loki…

Bellasblankexpression · 22/06/2021 21:38

@Tomatobear I heard your post in a Meg Ryan-esque cry (sleepless in Seattle style) don’t worry Grin

@HereIfYouNeedMe

Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby
This! I only fancy him as this character!
LubaLuca · 22/06/2021 21:39

I agree completely, and I can't explain myself. I know they're not attractive, and a leather jerkin/swept back hair combo should do nothing but make them less attractive, but...
