Loved Squirrel Girl and Rachel's inciting the Frost Giants to rebellion against their king. Funniest scene ever. What great timing for our Loki! Can't wait.
Cheers for the reply. I have caught up on the Loki arc in Dr Strange (thought twas last year), it was great, and Bats' death was heartbreaking. I have the Squirrel Girl issues, haven't caught up on...
Slightly overwhelmed comics casual here, here mostly for Loki but also any Asgardian/Ten worlds content really.
I’ve read Avengers 2018 #1-#6, am up to date with Infinity Wars, Thor and Asgardians...
Definitely agree that Cates is doing mirroring technique on Strange and Loki, I'm enjoying all the moral complexities. Bats was so adorable *endless sad face*
Pedantic mode: the pre-Christian...
I don't reckon a Loki solo movie will happen unless Marvel starts to get really profligate with its franchise (here's hoping - finally a Black Widow movie). I'd love to see it of course, with comic...
The bit in the Infinity War trailer with Loki here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LD8SG1z-z4&t=80
I assume it's a bargain and that's the crashed spaceship behind, that's what Loki always does,...
Thanks for putting up that pic, hahaha gold! SOLD!!!!
Apologies for not using spoiler tags, I thought I wasn't being spoilery but really, people wanna go in fresh so I'm sorry about that.
D'you reckon people would have really been lost though? I thought the movie was pretty exposition heavy, though woven in fairly smoothly, I do think some knowledge of past Thor and Avengers movies...
I'm only really familiar with Thor comics from the last decade, but I thought that Odin, when he was around, was supposed to be portrayed as a HUGE jerk with occasional wise / kind moments, typical...
Okay woah I gotta set the record straight on my account... As I understood it you were commenting on their take on my post's take and saying both takes were fallacious, so? And the Norse were of the...
Huh? And what's this gotta do with "political correctness"?
That's... not what I said either. Never mind.
If you want gravitas, go for DC. This reminds me of hardcore Doctor Who fans, who loved all the silliness and camp when they were kids (usually boys) and now want something ADULT and DEEP and SERIOUS...
Re secret king of Asgard:
In my opinion, that goes along with the MCU's characterisation of Loki as a narcissistic teenager. Immediate gratification, glory, self-delusion, petty revenge.
Pretty sure there's going to be some darker films ahead, but not this one. Yeah sure I like epics with a LOTR or Game of Thrones feel, and I'm a sucker for anything Norse mythy, but I wasn't...
I sort of agree with this actually... I appreciated there was some trouble taken to explore the complicated emotional relationship between him and Thor, and I don't need to see hurt lil' bb Loki any...
Re the Hulk:
The Hulk talks quite a bit, comes off as an angry toddler which is hilarious. Delicious contrast with Bruce when he finally appears, bemused and befuddled.
Re Thor's calamities:...
Thankyou SO much for all those pointers to finding out other bits of Loki's story, I'll chase it up, hopefully it helps others too.
Regarding the movie, woobie-Loki folks aren't going to like it...
Hahaha! Imagining Loki as Rimmer is making me laugh all over again. At least he gets to be Ace Rimmer a bit, right?
The movie was a LOT of fun, but had its pathos too, so the characters resonated...
I wasn't actively offended or bored by Doctor Strange; I just felt it was a superhero origin story by numbers and it left me unaffected afterwards.
I liked IM3 and Age of Ultron the least - just...
Just saw the film today. Had a lot of fun and I'll probably head in again with an 8 year old in tow. Yeah sure I guess there was a lot of unexpected and sometimes glaring levity, but what the hell,...
Uh oh woobieloki.gif has been unleashed...
I agree. I don't know for sure if that's what's going on here, but if you don't learn the lessons of history you're doomed to repeat them, etc. I'm not narratively satisfied by burning everything...
Yep, there's no strong evidence for Loki being a fire god. The personification of fire, Logi, in the myth where Loki competed with him and lost, got the Victorians confused and there's been some mix...
I was a bit jarred by Verity not being at least, hey you look an awful lot like the version of Loki I knew, but with a different face, did you shape shift? But "who the hell are you?" is more...
