Who do you think is the best sorcerer between Loki and Doctor Strange?

Tom: It’s one of the things we haven’t really… Benedict and I discussed it. In the comics Loki has extraodinary power of transformation and magic. Inside the MCU he can create so many illusions and you never know if you are talking to the real Loki. And there wasn’t time enough in Ragnarok to have a magic golf. Thor and Hulk had a fight. Strange and Loki couldn’t have a fight because we didn’t have time.

We have opened up a survey to the female fans. And they all think that Loki in terms of charisma and charm, outstands Doctor Strange. What’s your opinion?

Tom: Marvel fans are always right!

Keyword: COMPLEXITY

@lokiloveforever @kaori04 @lucianalight @whitedaydream @latent-thoughts @mastreworld @shine-of-asgard @lasimo74allmyworld and everyone who hates the oversimplification of Loki’s character in Gagnarok.

This sounds positive, maybe, I hope? I don’t think they’re going to achieve the same level of depth and complexity with Thanos that Loki has reached, but maybe this is a good sign they’ll let Loki’s true colors fly?

This is good, right? Or promising, at least.

“What appeals to my brother and me about movies in general, characters in general, is the complexity that you can find within them. People aren’t simply this or simply that. Loki is a great example — somebody who is torn in two directions.”

It’s a big middle finger to Waititi’s “Loki is just a rich kid from outer space and we shouldn’t give a shit about his own problems”. 😏

Thank you @yume-no-fantasy for tagging me.

Yep! TW must take notes.

Personally I’m not worried that much about Loki’s characterization. From what I saw in Winter Soldier and Civil War, Russo borthers are good at understanding the characters. Especially I like their portrayal of Natasha more than her portayal in Avengers1,2. My worries are Thor and Loki relationship and Loki’s fate. I hope they either show that their dynamic is not right, or give them a proper reconciliation, but I don’t think they have time for that in the movie with all these characters. And for the love of everything good in the world: Please Don’t Kill Loki!

I like that they’re taking this seriously, but I sort of don’t like how their mind went to Thanos (their own complex villain) when asked about Loki (a character they’ve never written for before).

Agree with @shine-of-asgard about Thanos. Their attempts to draw our attention to him is kinda getting annoying… BUT also intrigues me? May be we are going to walk out of cinema sympathising with Thanos?? That would be a plot twist no one was prepared for.

But to be honest it more looks like Marvel is taking their new direction “making more interesting villains” too seriously and pushing and forcing it to the point when their  “sympathic villain” is going to annoy and frustrate more than just a regular marvel villain.

My hope is that in order to show Thanos’ intelligence, he must have an intelligent conversation… With somebody… And it doesn’t seem likely that he’ll do that with any Avengers or any Black Order members… See what I’m getting at?

[SPOILER ALERT]

@shine-of-asgard

In one of his interviews in China Tom actually said that there will be a “very interesting conversation” between Loki and Thanos.

Don’t do this to me. A storyline for Loki where he gets to play a reluctant double agent who’s maybe seeing the logic on both sides of the argument while fearing for his life and also that of his brother on the other side of war, and also while dealing with the idea that his brother has denounced him as a traitor for good this time is too precious to put into words. Bye.

If, like Tom says in one of his interviews, Marvel takes Thor and Loki to be closer than ever at the start of IW, how about instead of misunderstanding and doubting Loki again, this time we have Thor trust and believe in Loki unconditionally even if he doesn’t know what Loki’s reasons are for his apparent betrayal? He worries about Loki’s safety, and at the end of the day when they reunite, the both of them very much alive, he hugs and tells his brother, “You’re here and that’s all that matters.”

‘I suppose what’s interesting is, I don’t really look like him… And so when people meet me, they are confronted by my shattering ordinariness, and realise there’s absolutely nothing that resembles anything divine or archetypal. I’m just a, sort of like, overgrown ginger kid from Wimbledon!’

Listen Tom. There is literally NOTHING ordinary about you!

I actually do appreciate his point (though he’s intending to be humble, whereas I’m here to sing his praises.)

Tom truly disappears into Loki— which is interesting to me particularly because he’s such a notable actor at this point (which for me can make it more difficult to see the character first.) Yes, he has different hair and a distinctive costume which adjusts his appearance quite a bit, but what I find most interesting is that Loki’s face is incredibly exposed and open.

There’s no hair or beard or even much makeup to hide behind— and yet, to me, Loki’s face appears so incredibly different from Tom’s, even when Tom is clean shaven.

It’s Loki’s bearing, his mannerisms and expressions that do the bulk of the lifting. Seeing Tom in Loki’s wig and costume when he’s out of character straight up looks like cosplay to me.

I think that’s why when I picture Loki as I’m reading fanfiction, or when I attempt to draw him, I don’t necessarily envision him as looking exactly like Hiddleston— Tom has made Loki into such a distinct entity of his own that, ironically, I think of Tom more as inspiration for the idea of Loki rather than the literal embodiment.

So, good job Tom. You’re too good at acting and now you’ve made yourself redundant. You shatteringly ordinary fellow.

‘God of Mischief, Loki. He doesn’t look very happy. He’s not looking like he’s having a good time in the trailer… Is he not ‘ending his run’, more or less, with handing over the Tesseract?’

Thank you, Tom, for reminding us of Loki’s emotional complexity. And pointing out that the fact that he was lied to all his life and found out a world-shattering truth in an abrupt, traumatic fashion does still make a difference in the way he behaves.

so……he might not die? that’s all i care about 

Not in the first 5 minutes – that seems assured, given how much press Tom has been doing. In the film? Everyone is being extremely uninformative, and I think I favor the theory that just about everyone is going to die in IW and Doctor Strange is going to have to pull some shit with the Time Stone to save the world (and the Avengers). So even if Loki dies in IW, he might still show up in Avengers 4. I kind of suspect that, unlike many of our heroes, he will not survive Avengers 4. But who knows?
