Thor: Love and Thunderfeatured Chris Hemsworth’s Thor with tattoos on his back that say “RIP Loki”. While this was supposed to lighten up the mood of the viewers, it seemed like many found it too much.
Loki’s death inAvengers: Infinity Warwas one of the most upsetting scenes in the entire saga. His villainous character was well-loved by fans, and to see him crumble at the hands of the Mad Titan was indeed excruciating, especially for Thor.

Marvel Fans Were Not Pleased With Thor’s “RIP Loki” Tattoo
Chris Hemsworthreprised his role as the God of Thunder inThor: Love and Thunder. The comedic relief in the movie was very prominent which somehow put off many viewers. Now, one of those scenes was Thor’s back tattoos that served as a tribute to his deceased brother, Loki.
Because the God of Mischief was revived in the Disney+ series and he finally accomplished his mission to serve a glorious purpose, his powers have become so immense that he could finally control time. Fans thought this could be an opportunity for Loki to give the audience their peace of mind and fix Thor’s tattoos. Check out the post below:

Thor’s tattoos were supposed to be part ofThor: Ragnarokaccording to directorTaika Waititi. The design would be a smaller one as a tribute to his brother’s supposed death inThor: The Dark World. Waititi explained viaInsider:
“It was a comedy bit that was supposed to be in Ragnarok. When Loki faked his death, and he’s reunited with Thor and Thor can’t believe he’s alive, he was to say, ‘I mourned you, look I even got this stupid tattoo,’ and Thor lifts his sleeve, and it’s a tattoo that said, ‘RIP Loki.’”
For some reason, the scene never made it toThor 3, but the director was adamant about inserting it into the film one way or another. It wasKevin Feigewho requested to make it bigger.
Meanwhile, other fans were touched by the gesture of using the tattoo scene inThor 4because it added more emotional depth to a grieving Thor.

Thor Almost Had Another Tattoo On His Forearm
Chris Hemsworth spoke withCinemaBlendand revealed that Thor almost got another forearm tattoo which was a tribute to his character’s passion for rollerblading that he shares withNatalie Portman’s Jane Foster. He said:
“We had another tattoo reference as well. When we were talking about rollerblading. Was it ‘Blade… Once you blade, you never fade.’ Yeah. But that didn’t make it in the movie.”
Fans would surely conjure a way for Loki his use all of his powers to reverse time if Thor actually had that line inked on his skin.
