It’s the fact that Marvel literally couldn’t come up with any creative ideas and settled on “dumb him down” for me. Like they could’ve shown Loki being visibly weaker after the Hulk smashed him. They could’ve shown the TVA agents actually struggling to fight Loki, a few of them dead, injured etc, before they paralyzed him with something. There’s a million other ways they could’ve done this besides the two listed and yet they chose the easiest option. But of course, it’s Marvel, and they hate the fact so many people like Loki. And Waldron and Herron needed their precious Sylvie to be the end all be all for first season.

Saw Deadpool and Wolverine today… And I am PISSED THE FUCK OFF. WHY.THE.HELL was Deadpool able to kill the mf TVA agents so easily when Loki, who’s a shit ton stronger took ONE punch from B-15 and was out? Not only that, but Wade got away so fucking easily from the TVA but Loki couldn’t??? Deadpool may be a mutant, but Loki is a fucking Jotun and at least stronger than a human, mutant or not.

Thor watched as his sibling wove in the corner,making sure every pattern, every pass of the shuttle was perfect. "Loki," Thor started. Loki didn't respond, continuing to weave as if they didn't hear him. "Loki," Thor began again. Loki sighed, and finally turned towards him. "What is it that you need so desperately that you must interrupt me?" Thor cringed, the sharpness of Loki's tone sliding across him like a blade. "I...just want to know if you are truly all right, broth-" "Sibling." Loki interjected. "Sibling, then. I am just concerned for you." Loki sighed. "And why, is there need for you to be concerned? Thanos is gone, Father has let me be, so what, brother dearest, has you so concerned?" Thor said nothing, considering how to proceed. What should he say? I see the red in your eyes at night. You've become more silent than usual. The refusal to eat. The scars. The scars that weren't there two nights ago. Fresh, still as crimson as your eyes in your... other form. I can smell the blood tainting your wrists. Why are you still hiding? Sibling please. I want to help you. I don't understand. I want to understand. I need to understand. I don't want to lose you. "You...have not been yourself lately, Loki." The shuttling stopped. And then Loki started laughing. Thor was utterly confounded. Why is are they laughing? Have they gone mad again? "So...one thousand years of not understanding me, of pushing me into the Loki you wanted, and suddenly you believe you know when I am not myself? You couldn't even tell I wasn't myself in 2012, what makes you think you know now?" Thor faltered, not knowing what to say. What could he say? As much as it pained him to admit it, Loki had a point. He couldn't look past the mask he had wore in 2012, too blinded by himself to see his sibling was suffering. If only he had done different, if only he could've- No. What actions Thor himself had carried out, it's far too late to fix it. The only thing he could do was move forward, and pray to the Norns that sometime, someday, Loki would forgive him.

[theefloraknight]

But then again, regarding this post... there's also the fact that loki seems like a really private person, and the fact that everyone is so blinded by what Odin's telling them and their reverence of Thor, it also makes sense that nobody would know the difference in loki 2011 and loki 2012, like @abby118 said. But also, why aren't there any other socerors besides Frigga on Asgard that we see? I mean, Odin has the OdinForce but because he wouldn't want to seem "weaker" for using magic, but since magic is seen as women's craft by Asgard, wouldn't there be other female socerors? I mean, possibilities that they exist and are seen as weaker or "useless" because they might not seem to do anything, but since Asgard is a realm with magic in multiple places, wouldn't they be, like, I don't know, intertwined with the realm or something? Either way, it could just be a lack of world building, but I feel like it's important to note that Loki was described as the "most powerful soceror" in the Nine Realms, so there had to be other socerors, right? I know Loki didn't utilize his magic much in the MCU(they should've utilized it more) but there was still so much potential in what they could've done with him in the MCU.

[theefloraknight]

I think the fact that all the variants in the void very easily and casually accepted a crocodile being a “Loki” but Sylvie being female was so shocking to them tells you everything you need to know about the series and the people who wrote it

[theefloraknight]

Oh and for all of you claiming what Mobius committing mass genocide for the TVA was ok because he was just “following orders” and Thor being ready to kill all the Jotun in Thor 1 (“ Now! We'll finish them together”) because someone called him a princess, Odin committing a slow agonizing genocide to Jotunheim(their planet was literally was going to die to survive without the casket of ancient winters) and the colonization/genocide of the 9 realms with Hela but it was ok because the 9 realms were chaotic(who’s to say Odin trying to conquer them wasn’t what made them chaotic? keep in mind just because the colonizer says something doesn’t mean it’s true) but Loki is the only one that needs to be punished? Remember that all these other people did it with all of their sanity and felt they were right to do so despite the fact hundreds of thousands(billions upon billions on the daily in Mobius case), and enjoyed it! And Loki did it because he was having a psychotic break, internalized racism, and because the culture he was raised in justified it(which wouldn’t have happened if Odin actually tried to change the attitude towards the Jotun). I’m not saying any of the genocide committed was right, just that the context is entirely different. Also, did any of the other characters really change? We’re told by the narrative Odin, Thor, and Mobius changed, but Odin and Thors actions say otherwise while Mobius pretends he didn’t admit the TVA was his mf purpose and Hela was locked away by Odin, and we don’t get any character development until What If.

Just realized something else that messes me up about Thor 1. So everyone in Asgard was just…ok with the drastic changes in Thor and Loki? I mean, someone had to question how Thor went from all bloodlust to peace and shit. I feel like Lokis identity crisis leading into a psychotic break kinda makes sense because all of these negative emotions have been building up for like a thousand years and any time he would have mentioned his feelings about being second best or being treated like shit by Thor’s friends would’ve been brushed off as imagined slights. All that culmination is definitely not healthy. On the other hand… Thor becoming worthy in 3 days considering he was enthusiastically bloodthirsty for a thousand doesn’t really make sense. Like, he’s still aggressive on sight in avengers, so did he really learn anything? Also, he spends 3 days with some mortals and all of Earth is suddenly under his protection? I mean, he didn’t even do anything until Loki attacked, but considering Loki was kinda a big threat I can kind of give him a pass(unless someone wants to offer something different). Back to the original point, Thor just decides the Jotun are people now? I don’t think he actually cares, it feels more like a matter of principle. Like, he’s didn’t think it was wrong until knowing Jane for 72 hours. Also, he doesn’t seem to think he himself was wrong when he started. But anyway. How did Frigga not think something was off in 2012? Ma’am, your child went missing for a year, presumed dead, and he suddenly has a whole ARMY? And want to take a world over when he couldn’t give a crap about needless conquering before??

Reblog and put in the tags your LEAST favourite type of character, one you almost always dislike, for whatever reasons.

Ok, so. We hear in CATFA that the Tesseract was “the prize of Odin’s vault” or something like that, right? So, like, how did it get to Earth exactly? No seriously. The Asgardians know about the Tesseract, and it was found in Norway…So how? I bet either someone stole it, and hid it there, or maybe young Thor and Loki were playing with it, and in a panic when they were accidentally teleported to Earth, they hid it in Norway. Or Odin was hiding it from political opponents or something.

[theefloraknight]

Idk who’s gonna come across this, but should I continue writing my MCU fix it? I have, like, half of my first chapter, but the actual post and the draft for the second chapter got deleted.

[theefloraknight]

You know, I personally like to hc that Loki was always trying to veer Thor off the path of reckless war and genocide. I mean, I doubt he cared about the Jotun (you know, before he found out he was one and went on a journey to find out they are in fact, you know, people in a universe where the fact he was Jotun was actually explored, as it should've been) but more of a "there's no need for unnecessary war that's going to affect the Asgardians or the other realms." Like I've mentioned before, I don't think Loki's immune to caring about other people dying. I think he's sympathetic, but also desensitized because he grew up on Asgard, where people presumably died from war often. I mean, even in Avengers, when Thor tells him to look at what he's done, he's crying. He clearly cares that he wrecked these people's homes and lives. However, in the event that he did go on a journey to heal from his internalized racism, the fact that he's not the emotionless, cruel person a lot of people seem to think he is would make the moment all the more impactful when he realizes he wasn't killing monsters(including the monster in himself) but actual, real life people. I also think there's one of two ways the aftermath to this event could play out.

1. Loki realizes the "monsters" aren't actually monsters but people, and realizes that there's a possibility being Jotun doesn't automatically mean he's a monster.

2. Loki realizes that he wasn't killing monsters but people, and instead doubles down on the fact that he believes that he's the real monster.

I think it would mostly be number 2 though, considering his hatred of himself and incredibly low self esteem. But either way, the moment would probably have to come from a period between 2013-2018, because he'd be ruling as Odin and would have time to come to this conclusion. Maybe someone from one of the other realms comes to him in attempts to educate on how the fact the Jotun aren't monsters but people( because I feel like just because Asgard believes it, doesn't mean the other realms do. Maybe having imperial rule imposed on you for over a thousand years causes you to doubt anything the colonizer says). Maybe he decides to give back the Casket. But however he reaches this conclusion, I feel like this would be an actual progression from his original character arc because in reality, Loki wasn't always the cruel conqueror that he was in Avengers(that was due more to Thanos' torture and the influence of the Mind Stone) nor was he always the genocidal king he was in Thor 1(the actual genocide attempt was only tried after he was having what very clearly appeared to be a psychotic break and identity crisis and when he realized that it might be the only way to get Odins love by destroying their biggest enemy). For the most part, before the aforementioned events above, he was mostly just the prince trying to survive in a society that was not made for someone like him, as well as a prince who never outright punished people who demeaned him. Having him "redeemed" by helping the Avengers or something wouldn't really do much for his arc when Jotunheim, a very big plot point, is the only place Loki's apologies are really needed, because that was something he himself was responsible for. Those actions, no matter how they came to be, were his own. Besides, it would make for a very interesting story to have Loki actually explore and learn about all of himself, especially considering the fact it was something that was robbed of him by Odin since he kidnapped him and brought him to Asgard.

K but like… why do so many people in the MCU fandom take Odin’s word and run with it?

He said Laufey abandoned Loki on a rock. Loki was in a temple near Jotunheim’s most sacred object.

He claims that Jotunheim was going to try and take over Earth, but considering this is coming from the guy who colonized and massacred shit ton of people to rule the 9 realms, how valid is his word? How do we know that Asgard and Jotunheim weren’t already fighting and it got pushed to Earth? How do we know they weren’t just fighting back?

Also the big glaring thing in the fandom: How do people take Odin’s word that the Jotun are monsters and act like he was justified in committing an atrociously slow genocide of their people? Their realm was literally melting.

Just because the racist, imperialist colonizer said they’re all bad, doesn’t mean that they were actually bad. And don’t act like the Jotun who were trying to steal back the Casket of Ancient Winters was a bad thing. If my realm’s entire future depended on that thing that is both a weapon but also our fucking life source I’d try to steal that shit back too! Odin literally was colonizing the 9 realms, and you’re telling me that dismissing the Jotun as monsters or subhuman(sub Asgardian?) wouldn’t help justify to the people why they should be spending their resources on attacking Jotunheim? I mean, that’s the same justification the Europeans used to justify colonizing Africa, India, and literally everywhere else because they viewed them all as “needing guidance” or taken out of their “savagery”. That’s the logic we are hearing from Odin. Not to mention if we’re taking the colonizing part of Ragnarok as truth( I greatly dislike the movie, but the colonization thing makes sense with what we already know about Asgard) he literally pretended he did it peacefully while erasing the thousands of bodies piled behind that golden throne he sits his sorry ass on. Odin is an imperialist, so it’s not a far reach to assume he ordered anyone who remembered his conquest with Hela silent, or used an insanely powerful spell to erase their memories because he’d probably have to kill like 99% of adults who were alive during this time. Most of the stuff we ever hear about any of the other realms is always colored by the view of the ones considered “above” the other realms. And that’s a problem, because Odin has lied too damn much to be considered a reliable narrator.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but Loki is definitely a quiet observer in social situations, unless he’s with friends(you know, real ones, don’t come at me with that warriors 4 and TVA bs) or if someone is actively engaging him in conversation. Like if it’s some random person, he’ll be civil, somewhat indifferent, and will probably come off as cold. I don’t think he’s going to be overly rude, or overly friendly, he’s probably just gonna exist in a social scene because he’s used to being ignored or people trying to use him for information or to get into higher standing as prince (even though from what we’ve scene in Thor 1, Asgardians don’t really care about Loki’s princely status that much, but a prince is a prince). With friends though? He’s probably a tad bit louder, engaging, and more warm than he’d be to strangers. He’d be making jokes comfortably, and feel a tad relieved to be with people he trusts and no unconscious worry that he’s going to be outcasted or made to feel unworthy (when he’s closer to them, of course)

Loki admires his big sister’s makeup, so Hela does his lipstick!

Prompt: Loki likes to admire Hela while she gets ready. Loki thinks his big sister is so cool and loves the way she does her hair and makeup. Hela applies black lipstick on her kid brother after he confesses he wants to look pretty like her.
