ppl being like "oh it makes sense that loki is constantly nerfed by marvel because he and thor were spoiled princes who never saw a real battle and all of the ones they saw were vetted by odin" like what. dude is a god from norse mythology. you think the vikings were worshipping figures who never saw real battle? because that doesn't sound right to me. tell me he's out of touch with the real world because he never struggled with not having money/resources and I'm right there with you. tell me that any figure from norse mythology never saw a real battle and i'm questioning your critical thinking skills. marvel nerfs loki all the time because that's what the nature of comics/comic movies demands. if all of your characters are supposed to be super powerful, you don't want one character making most of them look weak. you want balance. plus you inevitably want the character to struggle because a character who constantly goes through life easily isn't interesting. so you nerf the character for the sake of drama.
but please, tell me how a character derived from norse mythology has never seen a real battle.
