Contrary to a lot of people I don’t want to see Loki become a hero and even less an Avenger. He is the God of
Mischief and an anti-hero. That’s what made him the beautiful and complex
character we love and he should always stay like that; walking the thin line
between chaotic good and chaotic evil, doing things the way he wants to, being
a trickster but coming through for the others in the very end, doing more good
than bad but never a true hero just like he was never a true villain. And he can’t
be an Avenger because that would mean he’d have to live by their moral codes,
listen to the Cap’s or Tony orders, be a team player… That’s not Loki. He is
a free spirit and a survivor who thinks of himself first. Loki’s only team can
be Thor and he can only listen to him… if he chooses to do so. Marvel already
striped Loki of most of his magic, if they strip him of his mischievous and
anti-hero nature too there will be no Loki left. Or to be more precise the
character that will be called Loki will have nothing to do with him.
¨The Avengers¨ Deleted scene – The Other Tells Loki To Lead.
Or the part where they cut out confirmation that Loki wasn’t fully under his own control to try to make him less sympathetic and appealing.
Fuck you, Marvel
The thing I don’t get is, why do they shoot these scenes which show Loki in a sympathetic and tragic light, and then decide to cut them? It’s like they WANT Loki to be complex and compelling and tragic and sympathetic, but then they chicken out and cut the scenes at the last minute. To quote the Joker “What happened? Did your balls drop off?”
The writers (remember, Joss wrote this, and he’s not exactly known for creating one-dimensional villains/characters in general) probably knew what would make him great: making him sympathetic.
The STUDIO is a bunch of chickenshits who can’t seem to see shades of grey.
There MUST be “Good Guys” and there MUST be “Bad Guys” with absolutely NO inbetween.
Have you ever wondered why Loki’s eyes are so blue in The Avengers? In fact, Tom Hiddleston’s eyes are blue and he had to use effects in Thor because Loki’s eyes are green. In The Avengers his eyes are blue because of his scepter. The same happened with Hawkeye and Selvig. Loki was very vulnerable when Thor smashed him on the floor. He had a few moments of lucity, just like when Natasha slapped Hawkeye. Thor asked Loki to look around and see the damage he caused, asking to help him. It was a conflict, you can see. Then his eyes became green. You can see in the last gif. The change is VERY notable. It was a conflict but the power of the Tesseract was stronger. Loki did many bad things, but he was being possessed most of time. NOT like a robot, as with the others, but as Loki said “It touches everyone differently”. Everything makes sense to you now? One of the reasons why I can’t hate Loki at all. I’m not saying he’s not guilty, he is, but the Tesseract’s power fueled his hatred. He was being, in fact, controlled. Besides, Tom Hiddleston said they digitally made his eyes bluer in The Avengers. Now we have proof of it.
This scene is hard to watch. First of all, he’s imagining himself worthy of Mjolnir, which we all know he wants, even if he says he doesn’t. Second, he’s draped himself in red- Thor’s color. Does he want to be Thor, or does he want to replace Thor? Or is he simply trying to live up to Thor’s “perfect” image? When Frigga asks him what he’s doing, the look on his face in the fourth gif is very…unstable. He’s smiling like he’s happy, but it’s more of a crazed look than anything. And then suddenly his face falls and we see how he’s really feeling. He’s desperate. Desperate to feel something besides whatever he’s suffered through inside his cell. He’s casting illusions to save himself. He wants to forget everything that is real. He’s trying to daydream his way out of his own life. How many of us have done that before? I know I have. Many times. And I adore Frigga, but she’s scolding him for doing that. His face in the last gif makes me want to scream obscenities. Once again, Loki needed someone to talk to, and there was no one.
