“i think loki is an interesting character who deserves development even though he has done horrible things”
“LOKI IS A PRECIOUS BABY WHO HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG!!!!!!! UWU ITS NOT HIS FAULT!!!!!!!!”
Has anyone ever actually seen someone do #2 in a non-joking way? Because I’ve been in the marvel fandom for almost ten years now. I’m pretty sure people who say #2 are fully aware that Loki is a piece of shit and are just…doing a slightly cringe version of the “I know this, and I love you” meme?
joss whedon: loki tortures and murders people for fun, and, despite being the god of CHAOS, is a fascist who says things like “it’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation”
taika waititi: loki is an annoying little shit who day-drinks, puts on theater about himself, and fucks his way to the top
joss whedon: loki and thor are gods, so they always talk proper and posh and in cryptic riddles so for no reason. it makes them seem more powerful and mystical.
taiki waititi: one time when they were kids loki turned into a snake because he knows thor loves snakes and then thor went to pick up the snake and then loki turned back into himself and screamed “yueagh, it’s me!” and then he stabbed thor
