@sigynhealerofasgard
Does anyone have that picture of Tom Hiddleston in the Loki costume without the jacket, and he has short sleeves and an arm-wrap thing so only his upper arm is bare? I need it!
I know which one you mean, but I'm not seeing it in my behind the scenes tag. Anyone got that pic of Tom in his Loki undershirt thing? I think he was in a stunt harness as well.
@endlessstairway I guess you were looking for these...?
Loki drying his hair is sexiest thing in universe

DIY Crochet Mini Plant Hanger Free Pattern
From jujuya1103:
A cute little plant in a cute mini plant hanger 🌱
I’ve made this for my mom, she’s been making macrame plant hangers. When I saw this pattern I knew I had to gift her this 🥰.
Pattern by Hands Of Zeal. I’ve added the tassel.
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.
And the worst part is that MCU Loki, by Marvel’s very own admission, is actually extremely powerful; they just hate showing it on-screen.
These are all from Marvel’s official page for MCU Loki. He is, canonically, and I quote, capable of astral projection, shape-shifting, hypnosis, molecular rearrangement, energy blasts, levitating, conjuration, cryokinesis, telekinesis and teleportation, connecting to others telepathically and seeing into their memories, mystically imbuing objects, and creating rifts between dimensions, besides being able to wield Gungnir, the Casket of Ancient Winters, and two Infinity Stones, besides having immense knowledge and skill in wielding mystical artifacts, arcane lore, and human as well as alien technology, besides being highly intelligent and a master tactician, besides his Asgardian/Frost-Giant superhuman strength.
Does any other MCU character have a skill-set that is half as powerful?
Every time Infinity War opens and Ebony Maw goes on his knees all dramatic and holds up the Tesseract like some sacrificial offering and goes “My humble personage bows before your grandeur, no other being has ever had the might, nay the nobility, to wield not one, but two Infinity Stones, the universe lies within your grasp,” I just imagine Loki off-screen holding back laughter because ????? Loki’s been there done that and he’s also had more contact with the other stones than Thanos till now?????
And Marvel does acknowledge Loki’s got the skillset and the power to do stuff... but it’s all off-screen so people won’t think “wait how did he survive his atoms being scattered across the realms” and “wait how did he survive getting impaled” and “wait how he did take Odin’s place”
I personally prefer when Loki is the villain because he is a more active protagonist and can show more of his Strengths because they are supposed to be impossible odds for the Heroes to overcome. The MCU has made Loki a much weaker character and more recent comics have also followed.
Loki also didn’t create Infinity. Loki wanted the Throne so sent Odin into the “Realm of Eternal Sleep” so Odin couldn’t interfere with his Evil Plans. While in that Realm, Infinity was created. Loki didn’t seem to actively create Infinity, more like it kind of just showed up.
Loki has created or allied himself with plenty of villains in order to further his own plans. I know he did create The Absorbing Man (who I hate but that’s another discussion. Mostly just boring) and can power-boost other villains to new heights.
MCU Loki should be able to create a small army of minions that would keep the Avengers busy for Days. Not be disabled by a shitty portal and a kick to the Head. The only one who can single-handly defeat Loki is Thor (Maybe Hulk depending on Power scaling) and THAT’s IT. The MCU is full of creatives who ignore established characters and lore to push their own characters and ideas and That sucks.
Also, Comic Loki Never dies. He just takes 5 minute breaks before starting his Evil Plans again.
This entire thread is golden, so much this.
Also we know during the battle with Malekith on Earth, Loki owerpowered Odin and took his place. So possibly it was Loki who handled the Aether and trapped it in a container. That makes it the third infinity stone that Loki wielded. Also he was the one, who sent it to the Collector because of his knowledge about infinity stones that they should be kept apart.
True. But here comes the same problem like with most good things Loki did. Its said during any movie that it was Loki so people dont put 2 and 2 together. They dont realize it was Loki. People need everything spoonfed. Just look at how sickly Loki arrives to Earth in Avengers,he was clearly through some shit but its like for the audience,it doesnt exist. 2020 and most people still wont admit he was mindcontrolled and tortured. Because nobody said so in the movie. Some on Twitter even said to me 'if it didnt happen on the screen,its not a canon."
Loki having 3 Infinity stones is the same. Marvel didnt show Loki as Odin handling Aether in the movie. So they assume it was Odin and thats that. @lucianalight
@allaboutloki They're watching a "movie". Not everything should be "spelled out" for them. The director shouldn't make the character hold up a sign saying "look at my burnt skin and bloody teeth. The shadows under my eyes and the way I'm sweating and stumbling and moving hurts me. Yes I was tortured". This is just simple observation skills. Also about TDW, the movie is shown in a sequential way. So it's obvious it was Loki. The people who deny these, just show that they are the ones who don't pay attention to what is shown to them in the movies as canon.
Aaaand that’s what separates the part of the Loki fandom which loves Avengers most from that part that prefers Ragnarok. 😶
‘Show! Don’t tell”, the thespian advises, ignorant of all those who aren’t able to see and only hear.
That’s at least what I learned from the MCU. All those hints and little things you can notice are extremely frustrating if it never gets a 100% confirmation on screen. (And in some cases not even that helps, since we see the other inflicting pain on Loki and people still don’t realize how their relation might be.)
She nailed it
This^^^^
He doesn’t bother men who are secure in their own identities, but he scares the hell out of men who’ve been told all their lives that women want bulky, aggressive, overbearing “alphas.” They don’t understand, and they dislike what they don’t understand.
Ok. I wanna talk about this part.
Moving objects with his mind.
Where was this in MCU?!
Yeah Marvel, where the fuck is his psycho kinetic abilities and many other magical abilities including inter-dimensional teleportation?!?!?!?!
When did we kill the idea of a happy ending. “That’s no realistic” “this ending is much more true to real life” Listen. I don’t watch tv to see real life I watch tv to avoid real life. Like, I purposely choose shows with magic and supernatural creatures and other unrealistic nonsense for how much not like everyday life it is.
So give me the fucking happy ending. I want everyone sailing off into the sunset here. I want togetherness and aliveness and goodness.
Stop fucking me up in the name of realism.
THIS is the bullshit that Loki has had to put up with all his life. He needs a hug and a shoulder dammit. Someone needs to make this boy feel loved and worthy of attention and time. My heart is breaking for him.
Loki at his best: looking beautiful while doing mischief and thoroughly enjoying it.
A promise of love
