Loki in the comics is so powerful and so magical and can like time hop and zoom around and it’s so funny compared to mcu loki who just twinked about asgard until his dad yelled at him one time
comics loki: im going to rewrite time and trap various characters into vicious time hells and also I’m going to throw the dimensions out of WACK and i can fly sometimes and also I can turn into various forms of myself and i have green orb hands and im so powerful
mcu loki: i have a knife and im a size queen
That’s just what “Ragnarok” and, following it, “Infinity War” made him. There was more to him in previous movies: he made strategic use of illusions, the Casket of Ancient Winters, the Mind Stone, and secret pathways between worlds; he fucked with people’s heads and played double agent. Let’s please not forget that.
But he was actually a good character in Ragnarok so
Yes, all the best characters are paper-thin caricatures. Who has time for psychological complexity?
Didn’t realize having an engaging character arc that allows him to make the first steps towards redemption while also being a fun and entertaining character suddenly means that he’s a paper thin caricature. Salty cause your a thorki huh
And I didn’t realize that pretending the things he had already done to earn redemption didn’t happen (almost dying to save both Jane and Thor, avenging Frigga), reducing all his motivations to “I’m a trickster, it’s in my nature, I betray people for the lulz,” and giving someone else’s manipulative ultimatum full credit for the do-over “redemption” makes for an engaging character arc.
he’s not real
Oh, thanks for letting me know, I was confused about the metaphysics of fictional characters.
