I love when the comics acknowledge and reference Loki’s kids and I wish that they were in the MCU
Marvel in 2011: Happy birthday!Loki.Let's take a look at your life. You were born to be a villain. This is the path we’ve laid out for you, and you must accept this fate.
Loki: Fine .
Loki fans: Fuck you Marvel. Let’s give him a hug.
Marvel: Oh no, we didn’t see that coming. How did you do that?
Loki: I didn’t do anything. I’m just doing my job as a villain (tears in his eyes, slightly red-rimmed).
Marvel: Fine, whatever, continue your mission. Take this scepter and have fun in New York.
Loki: Fine.
Loki fans: Oh my god, Loki's design in this movie is so cool. Wait, why does he look off? Fuck you, Marvel.
Marvel: How did you… never mind. Anyway, you’ve completed your transformation from fallen prince to villain. It’s time for redemption, just die in TDW.
Loki:Fine
Loki fans: Fuuuckkk you, Marvel！
Marvel: We’ve lost control of this guy’s popularity. What happened? Taika Waititi, can you help us?
Taika: No problem, Let me see, Loki is the God of Mischief because of his psychological trauma? Because he is the neglected youngest son? Just remove this, make him the bully of Asgard, turn him into a straightforward villain, and no one will care about him anymore. It's too simple.
Marvel: This guy must be a genius.
Taika:' Boasts in interviews about giving Loki a new personality.'
Loki fans, who’ve followed his story for six years and are confused by his behavior in Thor 3: Fuck you,Marvel. Fuck you, Taika.
Marvel: What’s going on!?
Taika: Bro, you should have changed his character earlier. It’s too late now, I can’t handle this. I’m out.BYE.
Marvel: We give up. We’ll just kill you at the beginning of the movie. Don’t blame us, it’s for everyone’s good.
Loki fans: FFFUUUUUUUCCCKK YYYOOOOUUUU, MARVEL. You made his death meaningless! Stabbing Thanos with a butter knife? Really???FUCK YOU.
Marvel: Fine, fine, you win. Loki, do whatever you want.
Loki：(Makes some friends, finds a family that accepts him, and ultimately sacrifices himself to protect them. Forever alone, but deeply fulfilled)
idk about y'all but I love those shoes
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.
Pls make Loki meeting another Loki like the spiderman meme
I need more appreciation for this show😭😭😭
