Loki. More stories to tell. More mischief to make. More to come.
Night club Loki getting you high and partying with you ‘til dawn…not very Disney, but sign me the fuck up, LMAO!!
@wickednerdery I hate to quote Loki at a time like this….but evidently, there will be a line….where do we pick up our number?!?
I am all-in for Studio 54 Loki. I could see him supplying coke to the mortals for his own amusement, orgies in the back, and creating chaos however he can.
Loki: Everyone on Asgard is happy! Look, just ask them!
And, for once, he’s not lying: Everyone *is* happy. At worst, he just banished some people (Sif, Odin) and has been a bit inept.
Most of the time Loki just sits around writing bad self-aggrandizing fan fiction and getting local actors to act it out.
Nor does Grandmaster seem particularly cruel or tyrannical. And the planet is chaotic, but still largely fine.
It’s a very troubling moral issue.
(Let me know if I got anything incorrect—kinda new to the marvel fandom, thnx ✌🏽)
The Grandmaster literally melted people who he didn’t like and put people in the ring to get torn limb from limb by the Hulk. He also liked to sell sentient beings like objects and/or collect them, also like objects.
Not the mention that it’s really the city he lives in that’s just a bit of a weird/futuristic Vegas. The glimpse we got of the rest of the planet was a bunch of desperate, hungry people reduced to ferality and cannibalism due to their dire poverty and lack of infrastructure.
So yeah, you’re completely valid about Loki—but just because the Grandmaster is played by a hapless and utterly ridiculous Jeff Goldblum, it doesn’t make him or his society less horrific.
If anything, it brings about larger issues of trusting apparently “silly”, “benign”, and “relatable” leaders without ever bothering to check on the effectiveness and consequences of their rule. It faces us with the lack of accountability for such personalities, showing how dangerous it is to “look the other way” just cuz the guy is a bit dopey.
I apologize for the rant, no disrespect and I see your point, and hell I probably misunderstood something, but Loki and Grandmaster did two completely different things with the societies under their rule and the planet Sakaar is anything but fine.
Not to mention how afraid Loki himself got when he was on the wrong end of the Grandmaster’s ‘favor’, and how easily he could be upset, as shown later when he mentions a public execution for Valkyrie/Loki when it was discovered that Thor escaped from the arena, with his ‘champion’, aka the Hulk, in tow. Lokiwas also afraid of angering the Grandmaster when Thor arrived on the planet, and was clearly shown as uncomfortable when Grandmaster alluded to anything sexual/explicit happening between them, even in front of Thor. His own brother, y’all. So, yeah, just because a bad ruler is played by a good/beloved actor, doesn’t mean that they’re not a bad ruler, still.
(For further examples, see ‘prisoners with jobs’ when referring to other, sentient beings he had captured and forced to fight, the execution stated above, and the way he gets his ‘fighters’, and so on and so forth.
the thor series: introduces a villain who becomes the pinnacle of marvel villainy, complete with a complex and tragic backstory that gives way both to torment as a true villain, as well as a path to redemption to become a fan favorite anti-hero
spider-man homecoming: introduces a villain who is hurt by the destruction caused by the big battles between the heros and villains, showing how the little guy gets effected by both the in-world conflicts as well as big business and industry, who has a true love for his family and cares for their wellbeing, and deals illegal arms due to being drove out of a job by capitalists trying to cover their ass
black panther: introduces an antagonist who one could barely even call a “villain”, who’s moral argument was so sound, strong, and true that it actually won over the protagonist, and who’s only downfall on their quest for world salvation and revenge was their bloodthirsty, ruthless, and imperialistic nature that was installed into him by the us military
russo brothers: look at this big purple man!!! he’s an abusive father and genocidal fascist. but at one point in the movie, he CRIES! yeah he cries over throwing a woman off a cliff who he kidnapped and tortured and treasured like a prized weapon which for some reason translates into love in this story, but he CRIED! sure he could’ve used the infinity gauntlet to manifest more resources instead of sinking to genocide, but he CRIED! yeah maybe his original story of being obsessed with death would’ve made a more fun and less deeply problematic story, since we literally introduced a woman who is the personification of death two movies ago and who is also considered one of the greater mcu villains, but who cares about that? we’ve FINALLY cracked the marvel villain problem and made a SYMPATHETIC VILLAIN!!!
do you even know what humanization is
yes i’m saying they shouldn’t have done that for thanos that’s the whole point of his post
I have absolutely no problem with the character or any movie that does not exist for me, but I have always been confused by how attractive other people find Thor.
…he’s goofy and has way too much hair? That’s… cute, but trying to see it as sexual in any way just makes me headtilt.
I’d say it’s proof I’m mostly attracted to women, except for the weird “Thor belongs to the lesbians” thing.
Idk I’m weird.
thor IS a butch lesbian, or more accurately, he’s the Male version of the stereotypical Tumblr butch Lesbian. macho, but harmless, boisterous, but sweet.
…huh.
Maybe I’ve been mislabeling myself?
I love Thor as a character but I’ve never found him attractive. I had a shameless crush on Loki about 6 years ago, which I thought went away until @sinaesthete introduced me to the fem!Loki/Valkyrie ship. Hot damn.
JAMES GUNN FIRED FROM ‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 3′!
James Gunn has been removed as director of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3′ following controversy surrounding a series of offensive “jokes” that surfaced on twitter. No other information has been revealed!
Hey so it’s worth noting that the person leading this charge is an alt right author and actual honest to god proponent of rape and that James gunn apologized years ago and that all of these horrible very bad ‘jokes’ (since I guess we’re using quotes now) are at least seven years old.
I’m all for consequences for actions. But why are Scarjo or Renner still employed? And Why do people who actually do bad things get less flack than people who have demonstrated growth and change and are less disgusting than they used to be?
Why was a man who thinks rape is good louder than someone who knows he was being a dick when he joked about horrible things?
This is who got James Gunn fired. Just so yall know what the FUCK the world looks like today.
