...actually it's kind of effed up that the early MCU cared so little about women that Loki has no bio mother (and nobody ever even asks the question). yes, yes, i see the daddy issues, i am very invested in how this specific male character has daddy issues (lying, btw), but like. they literally just forgot mothers exist???
#single-sex jotuns are fandom's attempt to fix this (i think?)#but they also mean none of us ever has to write a woman into the story which i am... more ambivalent about#(some of us may have multiple unfinished fics with his mum in but we appear to be the weirdo outliers on the issue?)#it's okay though frigga's only characteristic is Being Loki's Mum so um... *awkward uncertain thumbs-up gesture*#(i personally think Frigga's the xenophobic parent but i do think that partly out of spite & so she has SOMETHING else to her)#now of course the MCU is VERY pro-woman and would likely fix this by giving him an extra Odin but - LOOK!! - she's a woman Odin!#mcu tag
