Why

Why 🤣🤣🤣

Please stop ruining the main protagonist of the novel I have past two years procrastinating on

every story that has a tomboy get "fixed" and find true love is fucking crime against humanity. she's not embracing her inner femininity, she wasn't suppressing it out of insecurity. you just hate all that's good in the world.

And Frigga KNEW she was going to die, witches can see into the future, but I think that she let that be the last thing she ever said to him because she knew it was what he needed to hear, in order to fix himself. He must have been incredibly bitter to Thor even then, so wanting to help make things a little more right could’ve been his motive.

What gets to me about this scene is what was left unsaid. He started out so angry, declaring Odin was not his father without a hint of remorse, but as soon as he said those same things to Frigga, the regret on his face was evident. He shook his head as he approached her, as if to say “no, I didn’t mean that”, and reached out, only to be reminded that she was not actually there. The moment she disappeared, you can see on his face, thinking, I’m so stupid.

And perhaps he had thought that he could make it up to her later, apologize when she contacted him next, only to find out that she had died after the prison riot, a riot that he aided by telling the perpetrator what path to take. And now there was no going back, and he had to live knowing that her last memory of him would be of him telling her he’s not his mother. For the first time, he felt the consequences of his own actions, and he could do nothing but rage at himself.

ok I just reaaaally really wanted to add that Loki’s last outfit, the soft and flowing cloak that made him seem more like a mage than any of his other outfits, really reminds me of Frigga.

The loose, flowing cape, the overlap at the collar area….

And don’t forget the brass. The loose, gentle, yet humbler clothes really seems like her style, and I think it’s fitting that Loki would wear something that reminds us of his mother.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

Production costs aside, clothes tell the audience about how characters think of themselves.

Loki's shoes in the S2 finale raised a lot eyebrows, but I find them quite fitting: they are comfortable, practical, and most importantly, they are humble. The camera brings this to our attention to communicate his evolution in character.

Loki has always dressed well, often times ostentatiously. Whether he is at war, passing as a Midgardian, or held captive as an Asgardian prisoner, Loki communicates his social class and sense of superiority through clothing. For him, clothing armors his fragile sense of self and against others' opinions of him. He intends to be perceived as deadly charming but ultimately unapproachable.

His attire in the first Thor movie is roughly equal parts green and gold, signifying his royal status. His style is dressed down for his brother's misadventures in Jotenheim, yet overall both silhouettes are lofty, princely, but not hardened or threatening.

In Avengers, Loki's look has more black and leather, with exaggerated emphasis on his shoulders meant to intimidate as he assumes the role of villain. The silhouette is very hard, heavy, and edgy. Gold detailing is prevalent as well. Combined with the goat's helm, this is Loki's most pretentious outfit, which speaks to an undercurrent of low self-esteem and a compulsive need to impress. There's no mistaking he is the main antagonist of the story.

In Thor 2, Loki's attire is similar to Avengers but the overcoat is exchanged for a less bulky version (perhaps conveying he is less guarded now that the effects of the Mind Stone are no longer influencing him). Loki's role likewise pivots from the harsh lines of a villain to the more flexible edges of a reluctant villain-turned-ally. This aligns with his character arc when he protects both Jane and Thor, seemingly sacrificing himself.

In Thor 3, Loki's silhouette is streamlined even further. The overcoat is done away with in favor of what appears to be a leather doublet, pauldrons, and vambraces. Gold accents are minimal. While stylish, Loki's attire is more practical than showy, and his helm serves the dual purpose of protection as well as weaponry. At this point in his arc, Loki has become a full antihero, joining his brother's side in rescuing as many Asgardians as possible, and eventually dying in a vain bid to protect Thor from Thanos.

The TVA does something very fun and interesting in taking away Loki's ability to dress himself. Since Loki cannot use his magic in the TVA, he is forced to wear the same clothing as his captor/advocate, who eventually becomes his best friend and peer.

Perhaps, on a subconscious level, this helped Loki to feel included. We know by his pwn admission that Loki fears being alone and desperately craves a sense of belonging. At the same time, he intentionally dresses to put people at a distance, thereby protecting himself from potential rejection at the cost of isolating himself further.

When Mobius gives him that TVA jacket for the first time, Loki seems uncharacteristically pleased. It is not an attractive jacket by any means, yet he neither scoffs at it nor refuses to wear it. Instead, Loki puts it on and is content when Mobius says it looks "smart" on him. He continues to dress like Mobius and, indeed, mimic some of his mannerisms such as placing his hands on his hips. Without clothing meant to push people away, Loki opens up, has more fun, and makes friends.

Loki's choice of attire as he assumes the mantle of God of Stories (and time) is fascinating. Setting aside the clear design inspiration from the comics, Loki's silhouette is soft, remarkably so. His colors are earthy hues of green, and the only bit of flare are the light gold trimming and crown. The look brings to mind the garb of sages and wise wizards rather than royalty or warriors. He's powerful yet approachable because there is humility in his bearing. And that humility springs from a well of healthy self-worth, self-love, and a deep love for others.

The shoes are not meant to be attractive. They are meant to help him ascend the throne, nothing more.
