man i've seen some typos in my time but that sure is a creative way to spell #thor 🙄

#loki is not a villain #neither is he entitled #he was marginalised and othered actually #maybe give the movies another watch #2011-2013 loki supremacy #the whole point of the asgard saga #was that thor was the entitled spoilt prodigal #and loki was the good responsible son #according to zack stentz who should know considering he wrote it #their arcs crossed over as thor rose and loki fell #its a tragedy actually #shakespearean #complex #in defense of loki

not a fan of people saying Odin and Loki are similar in a moral or decisive sense, particularly when it comes to Thor. that makes it sound like Loki doesn't know Thor or care about him beyond what he symbolises (regarding Asgard/the throne/family/worthiness), when that's a defining part of their relationship

#like i get WHY people go 'oh Thor is like Frigga (they care™/bring Emotions in) and Loki is like Odin (calculating™ /For The Greater Good)' #but if you make such a clearcut comparison you neglect a lot of stuff that Odin and Loki do drastically different #like there are literal contrasts that are pretty evident around Thor particularly #like Odin does expect Thor to be some ideal version of himself that obeys Odin implicitly and doesn't have his own volatile emotions? #while Loki more sees that Thor isn't who he tries to pretend to be and generally encourages Thor to realize that #the most obvious parallel would be how they in TDW try telling Thor that Jane won't work out #and Odin goes for the whole 'well they're insignificant' angle despite Thor caring about the humans and Jane particularly #Odin tries to go 'here's Sif and since you shouldn't have your own preferences (they're wrong and bad) consider my choice' #he largely disregards Thor's emotions #most people do on Asgard???? #like it's literally wild how everyone saw Thor being major depressed and they basically told him to pretend to cheer up #like im sorry Thor's grief means nothing to y;all. he fell in love with someone very mortal and his brother is changed forever #Loki tries putting Thor off by first off. Thor KNOWS Jane isn't going to live long he's not never thought about it #he doesn't even make the decision for Thor he tells him to consider his choice well bc it WILL hurt him when she's gone #Loki is like treats Thor like a person and Odin is like nah I own him #I feel like in converting the brother/father relationship difference over people lose the differences in those aspect #they skip to similarities of heartlessness and Machiavellian ends meeting the means when Loki overall is #a far more moral character than Thor (at the start of Thor's arc) and Odin. and a lot of culturally Asgardian ideas #that's literally part of Loki's original characterization that he DIDN'T match up with their views #he didn't do stuff like take killing lightly like it's for fun and that's one of a long list of obvious aspects that make the setup cool #don't tell me Odin and Loki are the same #like there's some blanket understanding that Loki doesn't show or care about the people he loves #while Thor and Frigga have always been softhearted and refused to sacrifice themselves for what is deemed better for everyone #don't mistake selfishness for apathy and don't say Loki didn't cry himself through the first movie because duty to the throne comes first #that's literally Thor's bit #idk

I know it's 2024 and nobody cares anymore (I hope), but I finally watched Adam Driver's latest interview about Star Wars that he made about two months ago and I felt like commenting on it, because why not?

Quite frankly, I don't know why anyone is so surprised. What he said, essentially, is something we already knew: that there was no Great Plan on the sequel trilogy and that Kylo Ren was originally conceived as an unsympathetic, irredeemable character that got popular against the production's intentions.

Mind you, I'm not happy about any of this. But surprised? Nah. In fact, my only consolation is that I sensed bullshit all the way back in 2018, when I looked at Kylo Ren's haunted face and thought "this is gonna be another Loki: rooting for him will only end in heartbreak". Then the Rise of Skywalker happened, and it was so bad that basically turned me into a Kylo -and yes, even Reylo- fan overnight. As I said many times, the shortest way to make me love a character is to treat them unfairly. It doesn't matter to me if they are "good" or "bad": fiction isn't reality and it doesn't follow the same rules. In fiction, the most important thing is to be consistent: among other things, you have to make sure you follow up to all the things you've planted beforehand (unless, of course, there's a theme about incompleteness or something).

I was angry on his behalf for a good while, I can only imagine feeling like this for years. I said before that I got the feeling Ford had basically improvised the whole scene with Adam Driver, but now I'm wondering if maybe he was also the one who pushed for Kylo's redemption too. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised. Somebody had to point out that people watch Star Wars for the Skywalker family, hoping they get a happy ending.

How the fuck could the whole production be shocked that redemption -especially redemption for a Skywalker- was Star Wars' big theme? Especially AFTER they decided to make a sequel trilogy NOBODY had asked for? I guess this is what happens when a franchise gets lost in too much lore and details, or huge space fights.

Anyway, I'm sorry for Driver because it's clear they wasted his talent, but on the bright side, it put him on the map and now we can enjoy him in more projects.

#star wars #star wars sequel trilogy #kylo ren #adam driver #another bright side: no kylo tv show #i really don't want him to become another loki #with fans literally begging to complete his character arc for a decade #his arc being a redemption arc after thor/his family/asgard did admit they contribuited to his villainy in some ways #and the studios giving us ANYTHING BUT THAT

I just realised Loki redemption arc in the comics is hilarious. Because from everyone else's perspective expect Thor and people who knows what's up. He spent most of his life being evil and now he's magically back to life in body of a young adult who's like "I'm a good guy now :D" and they all are on high alert when he's around because they think he's gonna betray them but he time and time again prove them wrong.

Then he went ahead a set the final host off which made it looks like he's back to evil but then BOOM nope he did it for the greater good.

Most redemption arcs has the hero's helping the ex-villain become a better person. Which is why I enjoy Loki as an anti-hero more,he has such a unique redemption arc.

wait so Hunter B-15 is supposed to be…verity Willis?? They literally have nothing in common….like what the fuck. Can marvel stop slapping beloved character names onto random unrelated characters and have people bow on the streets for it? It makes no SENSE!!!!!!

#marvel said “oh agent of Asgard is a very well received comic run why don’t I throw in little Easter eggs that make no sense” #like Slyvie having Lokis iconic broken crown that was a symbol of a huge character arc for him #and now B-15 WHOSE CHARACTER IS NOTHING LIKE VERITYS NOW BEING VERITY IN MCU? #WHAT THE FUCKKKKKJ #verity Willis #Loki #marvel #fucking hell #ok I’m done #also verity is a punk and works from home as data entry or something like that because she can’t stand lying and it makes sense to her #she would not be a fucking doctor lmao #ok NOW I’m done

the thing about loki 2021 is that its really fuckin good but not in any of the ways that the loki comics are really fuckin good. and the loki comics are better. go read the loki comics.

#except vote loki u can pretend that one doesnt exist #and also pretend that god who fell to earth went on as long as it should have (i.e. more than five FUCKING issues) #lily dot tee ex tee #marvel #loki #thor #<- oh also the thor comics are just better than the films that one's much simpler #the only way i can think of loki 2021 being similar to stuff like aoa or jim is ideas about free will but it approaches that whole thing #from a completely different angle. its not a story about stories its a story about choics #which is also fascinating and i wanna watch it again at some point but i have no TIME #but also yeah the best thing that loki 2021 did was convince me to finally read loki aoa (which sparked my thor comics phase which i have #still not left) #also sylki was good actually. fuck you <3 #the only bad things loki 2021 did was not make sylvie CANON trans and use kid loki and original loki as costumes #without any respect for the characters themselves #which makes sense because the mcu would not be able to speedrun the entire 2007-2015 character arc in one series #which proves my point that yall should read agent of asgard. now. #616 #mcu

[magstorrn]

not the asgard section of ac valhalla being the reason i finally start liking sigurd

#assassin's creed #missives #okay but like. im doing the asgard part now (prior to binding fate) because im pretty overlevelled from doing side content #so im actually only a fraction through the main story (just finished the soma arc in grantebridge) #and they are not even trying to conceal who loki and tyr are fr #though the fact eivor is literally odin doesnt leave much to the imagination i suppose #im just wondering whether this was meant to be much of a plot twist or? #problem is that sigurd and basim both have very distinctive voices and then they gave all of loki's facial features to basim which i find #a little bit boring #i preferred the sages where it was mainly their eyes #and also!!! im assuming this version of the aesir is like filtered through eivor's cultural and religious beliefs #so things didnt really look like this in the isu era? #i at least assume fenrir wasnt really a giant wolf 🤔 #ac valhalla

number one reason why loki staying dead in the new movie is a loss is that in the comics originally jane!thor’s identity was a secret and thor had to sleuth around and made an entire list with all possible suspects. and added loki to the list. at the very end.

and the cover art for the ‘who holds the hammer?’ issue had an ensemble of all of them with loki in the middle like, “ME????”

#me microinspecting jason aaron's entire run to pick out acceptable writing and trying to forget the rest: a tragicomedy #i don't actually think keeping her identity secret for so many issues was a good idea #but thor thinking loki is the new thor has nice crack potential #especially after agent of asgard's i cannot tell a lie story arc #thorposting

[worstloki]

Thor bottoms and Asgard considers doing that a bad thing is SUCH an under-utilised genre fr

#so few fics like that #while Loki being into men is constantly used for angst reasons #when Thor is into guys suddenly Asgard is progressive #grrr bite chomp #where is my Thor goes against Asgardian ideals angst #was that not what his whole OG arc was about ?????? #what’s going on #let Thor hate parts of himself too #stop hoarding it all for Loki #Thor being Asgard’s most eligible bachelor and getting NO maidens bc he’s not into topping is so *chef’s kiss* idk what to tell you

[everythingvalhalladd]

I know I’m YEARS late to this game… but I just used my first teleport pad in Asgard and it’s giving me flashbacks to Odyssey’s Elysium DLC. NOT THIS AGAIN…

I hated that place SO MUCH.

Send help 😖
