Something I really don't like about adaptations of Norse mythology is that even outside of Marvel's sphere of influence, Loki is consistently portrayed as physically weak/an unskilled fighter who lacks muscle and relies solely on trickery and ranged magical spells when in the original mythology, he:

Is a god

Is a jötunn

Is a viking god who hangs out with other vikings and does viking things like crusades and warfare

Has previously engaged in extreme acts of violence (mauling Fimafeng, bludgeoning an otter-dverg with a rock, ripping off a troll's leg twice in Loka Táttur without any mention of a weapon) and will continue to do so until the day he dies (the battle of Ragnarök)

Is fated to die in battle against Heimdall, who also dies, which implies that the two are equal in strength, or that at the very least, Loki knows his way around a battlefield

Causes earthquakes every time he writhes in pain

Rarely uses magic outside of shapeshifting and is very unlikely to Eldritch Blast his way out of a situation

Gave birth to a horse

#Loki being consistently portrayed as a flimsy twink and a bad fighter is one of my biggest pet peeves #This motherfucker would be able to bench press an entire car #And yeah. He's not as strong as Þórr.#But that's just an unfair comparison. NOBODY is as strong as Þórr. That's the whole point of Þórr.#Anyways the next Norse mythology adaptation that comes out should have a Loki who's actually a seasoned warrior and not just a doormat #But that's just my (objectively correct) opinion #nordic #norse myth #norse mythology #norse gods #loki #loki laufeyjarson #myth loki #norse loki

I’ve always sort of avoided drawing Loki in his myths, for various reasons, one of them being that my style is so different that I suppose I felt like it wouldn’t suit it. Also this particular myth really hurts (as a Lokean) but for some reason, I felt called to finally tackle it in my style. It’s my first Loki piece in quite a while (and I feel it turned into more of a Sigyn piece tbh) and I’m actually super proud of it.

Was Loki worshipped in the Viking Age?

No.

Yes.

Rituals would have been performed to propitiate or ward off the Jötuns.

Yes, but it was frowned upon or forbidden.

Yes, but as Lóðurr.

Something else (mention in reblog).

Literally 99% of what Loki does is against his will. God of getting stuck in hostage situations.
