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

PMO seeing pagan videos using fucking ai in the actual visuals, there’s hundreds of art depictions, both new and old, that are made by real artists. AI shouldn’t belong in spaces such as ones designed to teach people about human experiences such as religion in any form.

i hate that ai has been so entangled with information and art, it doesn’t belong in either.
