The Reign of Taylor: Already Here.

Thor is a movie about a dude taking the news he’s adopted very badly.

Okay, but no, seriously. I think the reason Loki resonated with basically fucking everyone - despite being such a little shit - is (in addition to Tom Hiddleston’s fucking face), is that he is obviously in so much goddamn pain throughout the entire movie. He’s fucking crying as he’s goading Thor into a fight.

Loki’s probably spent his… entire life feeling inferior to Thor because his talents lay in magic and illusions instead of beating the ever-living shit out of things with a hammer, feeling different for reasons he can’t entirely understand. So then he grows up, and finally discovers why, and it’s a reason he has no control over - it’s something he can’t change, he’ll always be a frost giant, and so he’ll never, ever be equal to Thor or even his father’s son, not really. And it’s kind of incredibly horrifying, too, because Loki was right to think Odin had to have a reason, because the fighting was over; he had no reason to steal a baby; the only reason Odin took Loki was because he thought he would be useful in the future. And Loki is small; in the comics Laufey had hidden him away because he was ashamed his son was a runt, so even among the frost giants Loki would have always been inferior.

And the way I see it, Loki didn’t expect the thing with the frost giants to go as far as it did, and so he ends up in a situation he wasn’t altogether prepared for (or even wanted), right after he finds out all of that. He’s in an incredibly fucked-up spot, mentally, so he kind of loses it and concocts an equally fucked-up plan as a last-ditch effort to prove that he does belong in Asgard, that he’s just as good as his brother. And by the time Thor shows up again, it’s all gone to hell, and Loki knows it, and he’s just making an increasingly desperate series of really poor decisions. And then he ends up hanging off the end of a staff over a wormhole, and suddenly he can do nothing but face the truth he’s been trying to deny since even before he discovered the frost giant thing: that he would never, ever have been as good as Thor in the eyes of his father, or anyone else in Asgard. And so he lets go, and after everyone is finished bawling their goddamn eyes out for the little shit, and he shows up in Avengers, he’s had a very unpleasant trip through a fucking wormhole of his own making, with plenty of time for that bitterness to turn to hatred, and if he would never be as good as Thor, why not just fucking embrace it?

And the worst part is even if Loki hadn’t turned out to be such a complex character, I still would have liked him more than Thor. He’s smart and talented and powerful: he was different, but not inferior, and that alone should have made him special. But because he grew up in a culture that valued strength over everything else, he was always second best, always inferior, doing “tricks” instead of fighting. And that is fucking awful.

Added bonus, Fish’s tags:

• everything is superheroes and nothing hurts • no wait •everything hurts • that’s the one • in which Loki continues to give me all the feelings • no one has Lokifeels like Tom Hiddleston has Lokifeels • but I damn well try

So i was reading the Toronto Star this morning and found this… NOT COOL TORONTO, NOT COOL!! (I’m sorry for the bad quality)

You don’t like Loki? YOU DON’T LIKE LOKI? The author says Tom Hiddleston’s Loki “could draw hisses a Christmas pageant but he’s not a terribly convincing  as the planet threatening psycho.”

No, you want to know why this bothers me? Because everything always has to be black and white. Everything must be good or evil, there’s no in between. Loki isn’t a deranged psychopath who wants to kill everything for fun. He has had his heart broken and been lied to his whole life, and yes i’m sure he does some terrible stuff in the movie, but he isn’t entirely evil. Loki has a reason and isn’t bad to the core. There is still a beating heart in his body and he has real emotions. I think Tom Hiddleston portrays that inner battle happening in Loki’s head perfectly, and shows us that Loki isn’t really a madman.

But people want the villian to be heartless. They want someone they can love to hate just because he’s not on a “good guy”. They don’t want a bad guy to be likeable, which pisses me off to no end. I like the bad guys. I like when there is someone out there that want’s something and isn’t afraid to take it. Screw you Toronto Star, Loki is one of the greatest villains of all time, especially played by Tom Hiddleston.

So there.

Fuck the Toronto Star. Fuck them. Fucking idiots. 

I’m sorry, fucking what?

I’m offended this person is allowed to review movies and characters.

Wooow, look at all these awesome heroes of good and justice and stuff - even though Tony’s extremely selfish, Thor’s true motivation is getting his brother back, Bruce is kind of a psycho, Natasha’s also acting rather selfishly, and who even knows entirely what Clint’s motivations are other than…revenge. I guess they all have a sense of duty, as relatively good people with the ability to save the world.

But OH HELL NO to Loki not being pure evil. He’s insane, and he /went/ insane. Sorry he’s not Voldemort? I don’t even know what’s expected of his character here. He wasn’t terrifying enough? Sorry he’s not a LOLOLOL to the end, no actual people qualities, villain? I’m so confused right now.

This is SERIOUSLY putting down a three-dimensional character? You kind of root for him, in the way that you kind of hope Thor can talk him back down. That’s INTERESTING. How is that more disappointing than the same, stupid villain every time?

Ugh, I’m not even sure what I READ. Hiddleston worked with what they gave him? Excuse me? Joss Whedon and whoever else gave him a fantastic character and he made it even better. As not every hero has a strict sense of justice like Steve, not every villain is going to have an extreme sense of evil like most bad guys in a superhero movie. And it’s not like he ever really faltered in his evil behavior! What, he looked a little sad sometimes? Well, he’s delusional and is hurt. Badguys are more interesting when they don’t feel anything ever? Gross. What is this.

Loki’s more terrifying in that he didn’t even start out all that evil. He fell, as anyone can fall, the harder he falls, the stronger he gets. It took the Avenger’s this time to overcome him. He lacks the conviction now, but he’s not completely gone. Like a real person might, he’s working off things like resentment, betrayal, self-loathing, power, and fear (with a dash of psychosis…) - and sure, you can see what’s left of his humanity sometimes - but that’s what makes him deep - and that’s far more exciting than a badguy who does bad things for the sake of being the badguy.

Fuck this article.

And wow I rambled. I’m sure that was totally incoherent. >.> As long as my point got across, it doesn’t even matter.

Edit.

First, what to the master/slave comment. Just. What.

Then there’s the part about not being convincing as a villain because…he wears a horned headdress and Tony (TONY) makes fun of his magic spear? I’m sorry that Loki is a Norse God and dresses in way the Vikings might find look powerful? Um. His bad? And, considering Tony’s sarcastic jabs as a way to belittle a terrifying situation are law, obviously the “glow stick of destiny” is not something that actually blows shit up without much effort and shanks people we adore?

Yeah.

His ensemble was definitely his problem as a villain. Where was the alien face, the glowing eyes, and the tights? Then when you top it with his lack of lacking emotional motivation and interesting back story that melds with a character of legend…

I am done with this article. Screw them. D;
