#inrmn watches loki series

[imnotrevealingmyname]

People who think Loki is "ooc" for having fun and being mischievous, let me remind you, this is what he was like before he found out he was adopted. Remember that deleted scene that y'all cry over because it wasn't included? The one where he's mischievous and soft? Yeah. He's been through hell after that and now he's finally free from the clutches of Thanos, and he's finally come to terms with his own identity and his future. This is 100% something I would see as being in context and VERY accurate for a man who's had his first taste of freedom after a year of unspeakable tortures.

"I betray everyone who loves me,"says the guy who was betrayed by everyone he loved

I rewatched the episode and I noticed that the only times Loki is being overly cheerful is in the presence of Miss Minutes and Mobius.

From the screenshots that are filling my dash, Miss Minutes is apparently giving Loki word problems involving Thanos, so he's probably incredibly pissed. And we've seen before that Loki loves to grin a lot when he's pissed.

As for Mobius, he's a patronising ass to Loki (please don't bring his motivations into this, this is meta about Loki's reaction to the way Mobius treats him) for a lot of the time and he also saw Loki cry and Loki obviously doesn't like being openly vulnerable, so I'm really not surprised he's putting up this façade. The best example of this is right after he finds out about the destruction of Asgard. He cried when he was alone, but then he pretended that he didn't care- when he was with Mobius. If that's not in character, I really don't know what is. It's just two episodes in. Marvel isn't great at scene transition so I can't tell how long he's been in the TVA but I think it's probably about a week or so, so obviously the whole thing is gonna feel a little uncanny. He's still trying to figure out the workings of the TVA, and he's doing a good job. The series might not be as good as we wanted it to be (so far) but it isn't really as bad as people are making it out to be, either.

I'm torn between being heart eyed over him rambling and being skeptical because his monologue kinda seems forced like when someone mocks me for something so I deliberately do the same thing to spite them even though I don't like doing it. If it's the first case then 😍😍😍😍 go babie you're doing awesome. If it's the second case then 😍😍😍😍 yessss irritate the fuck out of Mobius babie

when u adopt a space god and they wont shut the fuck up

thank u guys whove been leaving nice comments in the tags im crying over them

For the record, that scene where Loki scoffs and says "And you call me a magician" isn't him complimenting Sylvie for being better than him in any way. It's him roasting her for using the same methods as him and still thinking she's such a badass for telling him it's somehow bad to be a "magician". First of all, we know that Loki is a mage/sorcerer, he's never used the word magician before, meaning he's insulting Sylvie here. This is similar to the part in Lokasenna where Loki roasts Odin for using magic- because Odin had called him unmanly for the exact same thing. This isn't him complimenting either of them. This is him calling them out for being hypocrites. So people who are using "oh they're trying to tell us that Sylvie is more powerful than Loki and has more magic than him" as an argument, try again.

[imnotrevealingmyname]

Sylvie mocked Loki for his plan, but objectively speaking her plan makes zero sense. She couldn't enchant Loki, but she can enchant the cloud? Which means Loki is stronger than the cloud? Then technically his plan is better than hers because he at least has a chance against the cloud? And also she said she needs physical contact to be able to maintain the connection, then how the fuck are they able to walk right through without the spell instantly shattering? She finds it difficult to keep C-20 under control, but now she's apparently "guiding" Loki and simultaneously enchanting the cloud? What?

[imnotrevealingmyname]

Ok but consider this:

1. The reason Loki didn't fight back and allowed himself to be flung around was that he didn't want to hurt innocent people. Which proves that he is inherently compassionate and the whole "oh he's evil trope" is obviously false

2. He's never met this variant before but he knows that the enchantment spell or whatever gives the enchanted the physical strength and fighting tactics of the enchanter so he wanted to figure out what the fighting style of this variant is

3. He's stalling for time and he knows that he can bring down the variant in seconds but that would mean that he's no longer useful to the TVA

4. He wants to find out what the variant's M.O. is and exactly how to manipulate them

5. He knew that the variant would escape the moment their work there was done which would mean he would potentially have a means of escape as well

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Did they really focus more on Sylvie than Loki in his own show? I'm slowly losing hope...

I don't think they did, actually. They talked about his past, they glossed over hers. They brought up Frigga, they brought up his sexuality, they had a heart to heart that was mostly just Loki talking about his emotions, they showed Loki's magic multiple times AND he physically subdued Sylvie (or at least matched her strength, which is good enough since she's possibly another Loki variant), they indirectly implied that he has magical storage spaces/pockets where he kept the TemPad, they showed that he's great at tactic, they showed that he's mischievous and they also showed the more human side to him. And he can sing. That's a win in my book.

[imnotrevealingmyname]

This made me go "oh he's implying the torture Thanos put him through!" but then he went all "illusion conjured by the weak *points at himself*" WHAT THE FUCK

like I wanna hold him so bad in this scene but also?????

LOKI (2021)

Tiddies

he fucking flexed them ugh

[imnotrevealingmyname]

Hey people who are convinced that the writers actually didn't look into Loki's characterization deeply and the fans who are positive about the series are just grasping at straws and trying to find in universe explanations for Marvel not caring: Tom is the executive producer. He knows Loki better than any of us do, no matter how much fanfiction or meta you have written. And that includes you guys as well. He had creative agency for the series. So your logic is flawed <3

[imnotrevealingmyname]

Ok first of all. Sylvie is scared of Loki. She's terrified. You can see it in her eyes the moment Loki teleports. She knows that she's dealing with a force waaaay stronger than herself, and she's trying to comfort herself by calling him a "magician". But she's scared of him, and of his seiðr. And Loki knows that. Which is why he's not bothering to even try to protect himself from her. At first he thought she was as powerful as him, but he quickly realized that wasn't the case. Which is why he didn't have his daggers out in Lamentis. He knew he doesn't need it against her.

Ok I don't ship these two but this is too hilarious not to reblog

lokius as ship tropes or, i know we said "there's a fanfic writer loose in the marvel scriptwriters room" as a joke, but i don't think it's a joke anymore.

[imnotrevealingmyname]

In episode 2, I don't think Loki was actually asleep there. If you look closely you can see him blinking a bit. That's not REM because REM only occurs during deep sleep and he "woke up" within a second of Mobius tapping his arm. That wasn't him lowering his guard, that was him tricking Mobius into lowering his guard. You instinctively lower your guard around someone who is not only asleep but also apparently feels comfortable enough around you to fall asleep near you (because Loki "fell asleep" in Mobius' presence, he wasn't already asleep.) Loki was counting on that. He knows exactly what he's doing.
