Mischief

Seriously, Marvel, Loki, and/or Norse Mythology fans. PLEASE go watch and support Ragnarok on Netflix. It is way more faithful to Norse Mythology with explicit queer representation.

It does not represent a sanitized or Christianized version of Loki AND Loki is not A Villain™️. He is chaotic neutral as he was meant to be. He is very explicitly gender fluid and not straight.

It is also just a really good, entertaining show. It's not "perfect", but it really doesn't get the credit it deserves. So, don't just reblog posts talking about how much better it is at representing Loki.

Please watch it! And support it! Thanks!

Ragnarok (Netflix): Laurits "Loki" Seier flirts with men, dresses in gender non-conforming clothes, says he looks like a pretty lady, wears makeup and paints his nails, asks teacher if he thinks Loki is trans, gives birth to the Midgard Serpent, and tells his mom that he doesn't believe in sexuality and gender.

Marvel Loki Miniseries: We made Loki write "fluid" on the sex/gender line of this paper he had to fill out that you probably didn't notice. You're welcome :)

Edit: I forgot to clarify. When I say "Ragnarok", I'm talking about the Norwegian Netflix Series. NOT Thor: Ragnarok (2017) from Marvel.

You really can't trust Marvel to handle anything re: Loki's identity or any traumas associated w/ it while Ragnarok does the opposite and gets minimal praise for it comparatively. It's such a shame. Like, I don't care how anyone personally feels about the character. Here are The Facts:

Marvel never adequately addressed that Loki was stolen from the Jotnar as a baby, and that he was adopted into a society that hated Jotnar - that Loki has a complex relationship with his identity because of this and that Odin played the part of a genocidal warmonger far before Loki ever did.

Ragnarok explicitly identified 'Loki's' parentage as a complicated part of his identity, and they continued with this throughout the show. His inability to fit neatly into the 'god' or 'jotnar' categories results him being both used and discarded by both. "Odin" is not clearly a benevolent god who is always justified.

Marvel Loki's identity as a Jotun is rarely brought up ever again. Whereas it's a constant point of conflict for 'Loki' in Ragnarok, and actually he doesn't hate being a Jotun because it FINALLY explains why he feels different from everyone else AND 'Thor' tries to protect him despite his difference.

Marvel has "fluid" written under sex/gender for Loki, and gets monumental praise for it. They put in a throw away line about hAs AnYonE EvER sEen A FeMAle LokI soUnds TerrIFying or whatever which completely ignores the fact that Loki's gender is fluid, defeating the purpose of that "fluid" line.

Also, they make their Loki fall in love with a female variant of himself rather than commit to showing either in queer relationships, after another throw away comment about them both being bisexual. Like, there's a running theme of telling and not showing in Marvel and I hate it.

Ragnarok's 'Loki' dresses however they want, and he's in "women's clothes" and wearing makeup by like the second episode. He internalizes that his feminine appearance and dress makes him a freak, but he does it anyway AND his family supports him! They encourage him to be himself!

Also! He explicitly flirts with men. He explicitly says he doesn't care about gender and sexuality, not that they aren't important to him but they're not a barrier to him. He shows a wide range of complicated feelings towards his identity that are actually explored and taken seriously.

Marvel will NEVER do that in their MCU.

stopping the movie to read the joke :D

Thor: The Dark World (2013)

we as a group project made a quiz about what mcu archetype are you.

please take this quiz

Yes, Angela was the greatest of us all. But she was no angel. Unbeknownst to us all, Angela was kin of our worst foes—Asgardians. And when the Queen learned, still she believed that even Angela had her price.

I finally joined the party and made my own stupid quiz. Which morally ambiguous male character with charm are you?

Are you a charming murderer with no clue of man landing on the moon? Or a epic hero with a tendency to alcoholism? Or else a depressed prince with a weird talent for monologue?

Put results in the tags so I can see

sometimes u just gotta say fuck it and enjoy your embarrassing interest like you’re still living in 2012

people reblogging this being like “me watching star wars” or “me watching mcu movies” as if those aren’t some of the most popular franchises in the world. that shit isn’t cringey no matter how badly written it can be. watch supernatural or steven universe or know what the fuck homestuck is about and THEN you are allowed to reblog this post

you friggin lightweights have no idea where cringe even starts
