swanpride June 7, 2021 Share June 7, 2021 Well, imagine you grew up being told that Asians (just an example) are the worst scum of the earth, monsters who should be killed on sight to protect the superior white race. And you believe this, that you are part of the superior white race and pretty much everyone in the universe is beneath you. And then one day you look in the mirror and realise that you are Asian yourself. But it has been ingrained in you that being Asien makes you automatically inferior. Add to this that your father favoured your brother your whole life. How would that make you feel? Loki suppers from internalised racism paired with the worst father complex of them all, even beating Tony's. Everything he does in the first Thor movie is about proving to Odin that he is the better son...convincing Thor to go against Odin's orders, his whole plan to kill Laufey right in Odin's bedroom, him trying to destroy the Jotunn's altogether, all to win Odin's approval, just to have him say "no" to him in the end. And a lot of this can be traced back to how Loki was raised. 2 Link to comment

It's just still his personality. Yes, Odin favored Thor, but Loki has been Loki his whole life. If he didn't know he was different for decades, he can't retroactively use that as his excuse now - it only excuses his current behaviour, not anything from his childhood. 5 Link to comment
swanpride June 7, 2021 Share June 7, 2021 Beforehand? As far as we know Loki's actions were (in the frame of Asgardians) simple jokes and occasional tricks, basically him using his brains instead of his brans. There is a deleted scene in Thor in which he and Thor are joking around, and the Thor puts him down, a servant shows amusement about this and Loki retaliates with one of his tricks. As far as we know, none of his "jokes" went to far until he led the Jotunns in because he wanted to prevent Thor getting the throne (and let's be honest here, Thor is very unsuited for it at this point). It is pretty clear that Loki didn't intend to have anyone die during this, he assumed that the destroyer would do the work and nobody but the Jotunns - who in his mind are just savage beast, remember - would get hurt. All he does at the beginning of Thor is trying to proof that Thor is unsuited for the throne (which is is, let's be honest), it was most likely not even his intention to have Thor actually go to Jotunheim, he just wanted him to get caught during the attempt. Don't get me wrong here, I am not one of the "poor innocent Loki" camp, he carries responsibility for his actions, but he was never completely evil either. The Asguardian guards who died were an accident, not part of his plan (he is responsible for them dying, no doubt, but it wasn't intentional), his whole plan to take out the Jotuns was basically him lashing out and the result of him not considering Jotuns anything but savage beasts (as I said, internalised racism), his actions on earth are happening after Thanos was torturing and manipulating him for months (apparently Loki even misremembers what happened on the rainbow bridge), him sending the cursed right to his own mother was for sure not intentional but yet another case of Loki acting without considering the possible consequences, and him taking the throne and casting Odin out was the equivalent of him taking the toy Thor didn't want. Loki is just Loki, he is pure chaos and his actions can have good and bad consequences. 1 Link to comment
Spartan Girl June 8, 2021 Share June 8, 2021 (edited) @swanpride Was Loki being tortured by Thanos? I thought he just saw Thanos as an opportunity to get an army and joined him willingly. The sad thing is that it took Odin and Frigga’s deaths and Thor finally giving up on him for Loki to finally see sense. Frigga’s death had to be really haunting because of the last moment together in Dark World. When he was screaming that Odin wasn’t his father, Frigga asked calmly and sadly, “Then am I not your mother?” You could tell by the conflict on his face that he knew he was about to hike up another notch on the asshole meter, but instead he doubled down: “You are not.” And while he looked like he wanted to take it back right away, he never got the chance to. So that, along with his “You might want to try the staircase in the back” comment to the Dark Elves, definitely came back to bite him in the ass. And Odin? Well, there’s a difference between saying you want someone dead and actually (albeit indirectly) causing his death. A more painful twist of the knife? Odin was beyond any anger by that point and just makes it clear (for the upteenth time) that Loki was still his son and he loved him. I’m so eager to see how Variant Loki’s character progression will differ on the show! Edited June 8, 2021 by Spartan Girl 5 Link to comment

I thought he just saw Thanos as an opportunity to get an army and joined him willingly. That was my impression too. As of The Avengers, Thor had believed that Loki was dead, and Loki gives the 'growing up in the shade of your greatness' soliloquy. At that point he was still obsessed with being a king, and even if he knew what Thanos was up to about the Infinity Stones, he wanted an army to conquer the earth, if only to spite his brother. 22 hours ago, swanpride said: Don't get me wrong here, I am not one of the "poor innocent Loki" camp, he carries responsibility for his actions, but he was never completely evil either.

Loki is just Loki, he is pure chaos and his actions can have good and bad consequences. And I would argue that his intentions don't matter. If I learned nothing else from the vigorous discussion over the finale of WandaVision, it's that there should always be consequences regardless of any pre-existing issues or traumas. As @Spartan Girl says, Loki was given multiple chances to stop being a dick, and that Frigga is the only one who really made space for him just makes it doubly awful that his actions resulted in her death. I do think that Thor felt subconsciously superior to his brother, but that was partly Odin's doing, and Odin being kind of a crap father wasn't Thor's fault. If anything, I think Odin took what he learned with Hela so far to heart that he inflicted those consequences on Loki out of self-preservation. He found out what could happen if he gave his kids too much power and authority in fighting by his side, and jovial frat boy Thor, if at the time ill-suited to the throne, I'm sure seemed very unlikely to turn his army against him and try to take over Asgard for himself. That Thor would keep trying to get through to Loki only to get stabbed (sometimes literally) would have put any reasonable person off right away. 3 Link to comment

Spartan Girl June 9, 2021 Share June 9, 2021 Well, that first Loki episode really hit home the fact that Loki was responsible for Frigga’s death since the Dark Elves followed his directions to the secret passage. That really emphasizes how broken he was after he found out, not to mention his pained, “Did she suffer?” to Thor. 😭😭😭😭 But of course he had to go and project by blaming Thor for not protecting her.🙄🙄🙄 I wonder if Thor and Odin knew that Loki blabbed to the Dark Elves? I don’t think Thor would be still holding out hope for redemption if he did, considering how done he was with Loki after Odin died. 1 Link to comment

Offering the God of Mischief dominion over his brother’s favorite realm Earth, Thanos requested the Tesseract in return. Gifted with a Scepter that acted as a mind control device, Loki would be able to influence others. Unbeknownst to him, the Scepter was also influencing him, fueling his hatred over his brother Thor and the inhabitants of Earth.

Thus said, I don't think that Thor/Valkyrie is in any way Canon. She clearly has zero interest in him, honestly she seemed to be more into Hulk than him. And Sif, well, that is canon, but only as a one-sided thing, and Sif has never actually sabotaged any of Thor's desires in any way. 3 Link to comment

I actually totally forgot about the publicity surrounding Valkyrie's bisexuality; regarding Thor I was referencing the moment when they both jump on the Grandmaster's ship from opposite sides, nearly bump into each other, and have a little "held gaze" moment. I read that as a subtle but largely irrelevant shippy moment; a thread they could or could not pick up on in later movies if they so chose. But yeah, what with an openly gay character in The Eternals, hopefully Marvel will be okay with Valkyrie having a same-sex on-screen love interest. Which begs the question, who will it be? A preexisting character or someone new? 2 Link to comment
