I know many of you out there are feeling a bit down. Have a crow to Wouldn’t it be Nice by the Beach Boys to lift your mood.

And you just know that right around the corner that crow got into his faded orange VW Kombi van with the surfboards strapped on top and hit the beach.

This crow is 100% fucking around for no reason other than to fuck around. Birds have two main gaits depending on where they live - they put one foot in front of the other if they live on the ground, or they hop if they live in the trees. Crows live on the ground, and thus walk. They have no reason to hop like this, and they aren’t wired or built to move like this naturally. They might hop to quickly avoid danger that’s very limited, like a car tire coming at them, or to get up onto the curb, but this sort of motion has no purpose other than being fun.

Here we have a whole article on how Loki was meant to be as good as Magneto.

.

But then you only have to look at the rest of twitter to see why Loki is not widely considered to be as good a villain as Magneto.

For example:

.

This person is joking and having fun, I’m not trying to hate on them.

But this interpretation of his character is pretty much based off canon. This overly simple characterization originates in the reboot of his character in Ragnarok, and that destroyed the complexity of his motivations. A lot of people don’t think Loki matches up to Magneto. Hell, at this point Loki doesn’t even get a properly concluded story, never mind the value of being considered on par with Magneto.

It’s such a waste. Marvel fucked up so badly.

noli-ge

I still can’t truly believe this is what actually happened, something in me wants so doubt it. As there’s this naive little voice in my head that still believes he got a chance, and maybe he does, but there’s no erasing those movies, other than ignoring them, and make my own canon from bits and pieces that I’ll never be able to see on screen.

Ugh. The person that made that may be having fun, but they’re also serious on some level. It’s the way Ragnarok strove to make everyone percieve him. Loki had so much depth, so much to him and his motives, so much raw feeling, and it all got destroyed. Obliterated. They let someone come in and tear him down, turn him into a joke, and a punching bag and a clown. They would never let that happen to Magneto. But then James McAvoy isn’t whining and crying about Michael Fassbender stealing his spotlight. And Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen really do love each other in real life. And as far as I know, nobody is secretly wishing Magneto would just go die.

Imagine being so insecure that you would petition a director to roast your co-star and his character in order to further glorify yourself. Imagine being the director that did it. I don’t know how people who shit on other people sleep at night.

The difference between Loki and Magneto lies in the fact that Magneto was treated with respect by the X-men writers/directors and Loki was not. Magneto was given a serious backstory which established his motivations as sympathetic and understandable. Even at his worst there was always a dignity about him. McKellen and later Fassbender benefited hugely from this serious treatment.

Loki’s story arc started out okay under the direction of Branagh and Whedon (and to a slightly lesser extent Alan Taylor). But then Taika Waititi was given a license to “disrespect” him and took it to ludicrous extremes. @lokiloveforever is absolutely right that such treatment would never have been meted out to Magneto. Fans would have been furious if it had.

Another important difference is that Magneto got a *ton* of screen time, far more than Loki was given in any of his movie appearances. This helped with Magneto’s character development and stressed his importance, putting him on an equal footing with the heroes.

If Marvel really had wanted “their own Magneto”, as they claimed, they knew the way to go about it. They just couldn’t be bothered, and ended up squandering one of their finest characters and actors.

Legolas pretty quickly gets in the habit of venting about his travelling companions in Elvish, so long as Gandalf & Aragorn aren’t in earshot they’ll never know right?

Then about a week into their journey like

Legolas: *in Elvish, for approximately the 20th time* ugh fucking hobbits, so annoying

Frodo: *also in Elvish, deadpan* yeah we’re the worst

Legolas:
