THE MANDALORIAN — Chapter 6: The Prisoner
In comics Loki is immune to Wanda's magic. Thats how powerful he is.
In MCU Val knocks him off with 1 hit.
I’m gonna reblog this until the day I DIE.
Literally the hulk didn’t knock him unconscious but somehow val did.
//I was just having a conversation about the with some friends yesterday. Loki is incredibly strong in the comics while the MCU weakens him considerably.
@loki-darkprince-odinson my question is why. They werent making him that weak in first Thor movie. In the first battle in Jotunheim he even uses magic against Jotuns. But year after year movie after movie they made him weaker and weaker and at the end he is but a stabby fool. Why? It cant be cuz he is side character because Wanda is side character too and they didnt downgrade her skills. So why do it to Loki?
// @allaboutloki Because heaven forbid the “villain”/anti-hero overshadows the hero with his strength, cunning, intelligence, magic, and so on. Loki could have single handedly taken on each Avenger including the valkyrie while covering a yawn with his other hand had the MCU kept him in true character. It’s simple really. Kenneth Branagh and Joss Whedon actually respected Loki and his character. I can’t say the same about the others.
Keep reblogging people!!!
Make Loki great again!!!!!!!!!
Oh, what I can say about this. When measuring the sheer ability of Loki’s power, I immediately look towards the Infinity Stones. As we’ve seen in the MCU, they are regarded as the be all end all of power, possessing one = magic bigwig. Hell, there’s even a line in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 that mentions Ego (a fucking PLANET) saying that he knew Peter was he son when he heard that he could hold one in his bare hands. Not even wield it: hold it. And he couldn’t even do that without the power of friendship, mind you.
Furthermore, Loki is able to hold the Tesseract with bare skin, as seen in several scenes but perhaps most easily seen in that infamous Infinity War one. He just pops that thing into existence and is like “Yup, just like an ice cube, no biggie”. That alone is power within itself, as when we see a (enhanced) human like Red Skull do that, he’s instantly teleported to Middle-Of-Nowhere (but not Knowhere, what the fuck are names in the Marvel Universe) Vormir with the Soul Stone to live out his days as the Ghost of Christmas Future. It could just as easily do that to anyone, it’s all powerful space magic right, but not to Loki.
Alright, cool, but not the end of my spiel here. Whenever this debate comes up somewhere, which is often, I think of this snippet from the comics:
Okay, what? A lot to unpack here, including that we should all be grateful we got the sexy Tom Hiddleston Loki not in that outfit, but most of all- HE BREAKS OUT OF THE PURPLE DIMENSION (?) WHICH “EVEN AN IMMORTAL CANNOT ESCAPE” LIKE IT’S A WALK IN THE DUCKING PARK. “My power is the power of the universe!” and Doctor Strange, who is regarded as probably maybe okay really more powerful than Loki in the MCU, is getting his ass whooped and for someone who’s a known narcissist is calling himself a ‘fool’ because he underestimated him. How many times could this have applied in the MCU? Valkyrie could have never beaten him, obviously, Doctor Strange shouldn’t have even been able to lay a hand on him let alone make him fall that long if he could stand the godforsaken Purple Dimension!
Loki is, “FAR FAR MORE” than Doctor Strange and even is about to wear out a FUCKING INFINITY STONE, folks- because if you recall, guess what the prize inside that amulet is... the Time Stone.
Loki is more powerful than a planet, more powerful than the Mystic Arts themselves, and rivals power with an Infinity Stone.
And now, just my two cents on what I want the MCU to do: goddamn it, you made it this far, I’ll just finish: I want Adam. Adam Warlock, to be precise. Look him up if you don’t know him, I won’t explain all of it, but pretty much, he has a line in one the comics stating that literally “For me, impossible no longer exists” that sums it up quite well in terms of power levels. He can beat the shit of some of the most ancient and powerful entities, like, I dunno, every single god out there. Like, cue surprised pikachu face folks, because damn. And, even in one of the Infinity Gauntlet comics he’s the one who beats up Thanos a bit with, get this, his words! on top of everything else (I think I’m recalling this correctly, it’s been a while). But, wait, there’s more! He’s already in the MCU, as he was hinted at the end of GoG Vol 2. And I’d love, even more, if they have to resurrect/find Loki to bring him down after realizing his true might.
And maybe Galactus and Silver Surfer will get a new chance at eating the planet? Eh, I dunno.
Well, thanks for coming to my ted talk, I guess. The longest rant I’ve had to date on this hell site.
People laugh at me when I say Loki could beat strange or Wanda in a fight-
It must be people who think Loki has only those powers Marvel showed us @fuzzynightpaperbat
I don't know how people think a fucking GOD with thousands of years of training, and wielder of a fucking infinity stone would be beaten by two hot shot amateur magic users both who have got their power from infinity stones. Wanda wouldn't even have hers if it wasn't for the experimentation with the mind stones and strange had what... A year of practice? When it comes to sheer power vs experience and skill+power, I think the latter would win any day.
// @lehuka123 THANK YOU!!! Finally someone that gets it! That is what I have been saying for so long when I argue with people about how powerful Loki actually is that I am exhausted now.
“Loki is, “FAR FAR MORE” than Doctor Strange and even is about to wear out a FUCKING INFINITY STONE, folks- because if you recall, guess what the prize inside that amulet is... the Time Stone.”
“Loki is more powerful than a planet, more powerful tha n the Mystic Arts themselves, and rivals power with an Infinity Stone.”
I’m sure most know this is a RP blog, but I as the mun will defend Loki and his powers until my last and final breath. To follow up on your comment about Loki and Strange, there was an ask he received here that inquired about who would win in a fight between him and Strange. I went into detail as to why Loki would so easily best him and everyone else in a fight. It angers me how the MCU does nothing but shit on Loki and dumb-down his powers and abilities.
@loki-darkprince-odinson--
First, anytime. This kind of heavy lore deep-dive is absolutely my bread and butter. I read the linked response, and yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
I think part of the argument that should shut it down immediately is that people are hesitant and simply do not accept why Loki has the title of ‘god’ in the comics. The comics show us so many gods: ones of mythology like Zeus but also Celestials, and The Watcher, and actual Death. They too are dubbed “Gods”. If Loki is also called a God, a title shared with Death and Chaos and a guy who eats planets like they are hors d'oeuvres, then that should tell you immediately why many people agree that Loki is been done dirty in the MCU. (Here’s a picture of some gods and stuff- I think this is from the Infinity Gauntlet series, but I’m not sure. Either way, look at em! Marvel is nothing if not creative)
And honestly?
He has. This wonderful character, who for so many reasons is wonderful, whether his charisma or tricks or interesting backstory or his sexuality, is being re-classified for the masses who watch the MCU but don’t read comics as just a gothy alien. All of the complicated bits, the ups and downs, the harrowing deaths and the surprising returns, the jumps from team to team and friend to enemy- have been reduced to nothing but a cheap antagonist who as one video I once saw (Super Villain Bowl by Toon Sandwich, highly recommend the series if you don’t know it, they’re super great) is largely only repeating for his “sex appeal”.
Because in reality, how much does he actually change as a character? In my own opinion, I think that he’s got this fantastic crisis in Thor, and then it’s never revisited. It’s like after that, we’re on this endless loop of how long can we make this character stay in a box? His ‘Hero’s Journey’ was lovely in Thor, and then he’s not even possessing much of an arc development in Avengers, and then Thor 2 he had something and that was awesome, but do we really see how he develops as a person? We see him lash out, we see him mourn, and then help and then all is revealed that he did it for- power? So what you’re saying is, he has the same goals he had in Thor after all that? Fundamentally, nothing changed? Are you fucking kidding me? That’s just- that’s just lazy writing.
Joseph Campbell frowns upon you.
TL;DR, MCU Loki = just some alien, and Comic Loki = God. If we’re following the idea that Loki = Loki, which he should because we can all do fucking math to the point that ‘=‘ means equal, Loki should be seen as a whole lot more than just an alien, like how Tony depicts him in Avengers. Maybe this was the MCU’s way of saying: “Hey, we’re really screwing the pooch on the power of the Asgardians here, sorry ‘bout that but hey look infinity stones gotta catch ‘em all-”
Yes but why does NO ONE EVER talk about the fact that Loki actually CREATED the entities (or at least one of them is mentioned) that created the infinity stones?! With his daughter Death herself. Loki created INFINITY!! I mean that’s HUGE!!!!
Imagine being that powerful! To have created at least one of the four major entities, if not ALL, and even DEATH HERSELF, whose probably the most powerful primordial force to this existence!! Nothing beats Death and he created that!
And he is a God (which is the highest you can possibly rank at) but they make him seem weaker than a human!!
@lehuka123 @loki-darkprince-odinson @lotus-eyedindiangoddess @fuzzynightpaperbat
He also created a whole bunch of supervillains in the comics by just going up to people on Midgard and being like "hey you seem like you'd beat the crap out of Thor, how would you like some superpowers?" And he just. Gave them powers. And a lot of these villains gave Thor a lot of trouble. And all Loki had to do was wiggle his fingers or something and they had all this power all of a sudden.
In addition, the fact that he just plopped his head back on after Balder decapitated him is so cool.
Something similar also happened with Jane Foster as Thor.
(Also, side note, Loki's daughter, Hela, is the goddess of death, but not Death herself. Death is a separate entity. But still, Hela is extremely powerful)
So yeah, I agree with y'all, Loki was definitely stripped of power in the MCU.
@doctor-disc0
Well actually if you want to get literal.. she is, by definition, Death.
She’s the Goddess of Death. God/Goddess means source. Which means Death comes from Hela. She’s the source of Death, she is Death and without her it wouldn’t exist.
And Loki created her, therefore without him Death wouldn’t be a concept in reality. It would not exist.
Don’t you just love how Loki created the most powerful primordial force in existence who has power over all things.. and people still question his power.
@blood-moon-fairie
That's a good point! I suppose you're right. I recall having read a comic from the 60s or 70s in which Hela is about to kill Thor and Odin decides that he doesn't like that (even though it was actually Thor's time to die) and so he killed Hela. This caused a lot of chaos among the realms because now nothing could die, and, well....that's kind of a problem (they showed enormous amounts of inserts swarming humans, among other things. It was terrible).
Anyway, thanks for pointing that out! And yeah, I agree, it's very funny how people think Loki's not powerful when he created Hela.
PEDRO PASCAL - the mandalorian
Does Pedro Pascal know how much he is loved and appreciated by his fans?
they are looking
Grogu: dad can I play with your lazer sword
Din: I thought Luke said you couldn’t have one yet
Grogu: yeah but he’s not the boss of you
Din:
Din: this is a trap this is a trap This is a trap—
- Din “Accidental Mand’alor” Djarin
We got Boba on a throne… so… why not Din?
Source: suja_janee on instagram
Boba, lounging intimidatingly on his throne: you know why you’re here, scum. Now it’s time for you to pay.
Fennec: *cracks knuckles*
Alien rando who accidentally crossed Boba: uhhhhhh not to ruin the moment here, but who’s THAT?
*points to the side where Din is lying face-down on the floor crying uncontrollably, alcohol spilled all over his Darksaber*
Boba, extremely offended: THAT is The Mand’alor! A ruler, a warrior, a king! Show him some respect!!
Alien rando, very confused: oh, s-sorry.
Din: *SOBS LOUDER*
umm so disney owns star wars...and din is now the ruler of the mandalore...DOES THAT MEAN THAT DIN DJARIN IS A DISNEY PRINCE NOW????
Din not knowing shit about fuck is probably the smartest writing choice in the whole show. Not only is it an endearing character trait but also rly helpful for casual viewers casue its okay if you dont know what the fuck a bo katan is ,din doesnt know either 🤷
Luke: Is it true that you can shoot fire from your hands?
Din: Say what??
Luke: Grogu told me you could do that
Din: Oooh, no he misunderstood that, I actually have flamethrowers in my wrist armor
Luke: Oh yeah, that makes more sense. Then I guess he also exaggerated when he said you got yourself eaten by a dragon
Din:
my favourite fucking thing about the mando gallery special is finding out that pedro’s himbo ass wears the helmet like a hat in between takes
Mandalorians: He is the Mand’alor
Din: No you don’t understand. I never set out to be Mand’alor. I only wanted to save my child from Moff Gideon.
Mandalorians: He took on one of most dangerous Imperials in single combat to protect his family! Praise the Mand’alor!
Din: Wait, let me explain. The child was a foundling under my care...
Mandalorians: He treats the foundling as his own flesh and blood! All praise!
Din: No! listen! He was threatening my Child with the darksaber, so I took out my pure beskar spear...
Mandalorians: *shaking* This is the most mandalorian thing we’ve ever fucking heard...
