alexjcrowley said: @optimistickidflowereclipse In my opinion, he simply learned it because he wanted to. We’re shown Loki seems to be passionate about books (therefore culture, we may assume), and, exactly how I, when I was young, only knew ecclesiastical pronunciation and when I found out about the restituita I wanted to learn it, so could Loki. For, me, in particular, was that I felt the restituita was closer to the latin my favourite roman authors would speak.

optimistickidflowereclipse said: Tbh this detail actually bugged me. While restituta makes sense for the period they are in, it makes little sense for Loki to know it since in the MCU he was born somewhere around 10th century AD, so in his times restituta has been already out of usage for a while. If we assume that Loki picked up one of the Midgardian languages for some reason, why would he study an ancient variant and not the current one used in Middle Ages he grew up in? It should’ve been ecclesiastical instead imho
