Thor races to the end of the Titanic, the wind blowing his long blond hair all over the place. At the end of the boat is Loki, his mortal enemy, staring longingly out at the sea. The two embrace. Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” begins to play as the camera pans around the boat.
That’s the scene we’re imagining when we look at this Photoshopped poster displayed outside a Shanghai movie theater, at any rate.
Unfortunately, whoever wrote the Chinese text isn’t in on the joke—it looks like the generic promotional copy for “Thunder God 2: The Dark World,” as it’s called in China. The remix was based off this official poster featuring Natalie Portman in place of Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki.
Not much else is known about how the poster made it into a theater. But, as Reddit user Rubix89 states, someone knew exactly what they were doing: Hiddleston is a geek favorite who dominated Tumblr last year in the heyday of the Avengers fandom. Especially popular is “Thorki,” i.e. the slash fandom pairing of Thor/Loki and their not-very-brotherly love.
