vote Loki comes out tomorrow (more like, in 2 hours, since I’m subbed to it on Comixology) so I decided to slap some colour on that sketch I did a while back (which proved quite popular!)

This happened while i was watching TV. Loki being all presidential. I liked it. I dunno if i will do it all nice with the computer or not. Maybe.

I like his look in vote Loki, cus waistcoats are sexy. I made his hair a little long, to make up for the tragic loss of Thor’s hair. I can not deal with short haired Asgardians, it’s just wrong.

That’s better, Loki. You’re actually doing something useful to train now instead of just dancing for 8 hours straight. Maybe he’ll actually use magic against A-Bomb in the next fight!

Avengers Academy

The past little while i’ve been kinda obsessed with this stupid Avengers Academy game that’s coming out soonish, and I couldn’t figure out why. It’s this thing where all the Avengers have been de-aged to like high school students, and you level them up and make them interact with one another, and you can upgrade the school and whatnot. It’s pure  fluff as near as I can figure, but it looks cute. But it just dawned on me, it’s because it kinda makes a Sims game i played a while back kinda official. It’s not that this game looks especially good (not much to go on yet, really) it’s that i had fun with something similarish in the Sims.

In the Sims a while ago, I made the Avengers Mansion and I had like Iron Man and Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver and Thor and Cap  etc. and like Tony had this workshop underground where he made robots so Jarvis, Ultron and Vision that were robots since you could go over the cap that way. It quickly descended into pure absurdity. I gave Steve the ‘Technophobe’ trait, because he’s from the 40′s, right? and i didn’t want him using computers and stuff a lot. So he kept going down to Tony’s lab and trying to wreck his equipment and blowing things up, so they hated each other. I ended up having to lock him, and ONLY him, out of Tony’s lab. And Wanda was a witch, obv, and I gave her the ‘insane’ trait cus… obviously.  But that just made it so that  every time i turned my back on her for like 2 seconds she’d turn someone into a frog, but her magic skill wasn’t high enough yet to turn them BACK, so before long i had a whole mansion full of frog Avengers, except her, the robots and Janet (cus i made her a fairy, and they are immune) and it was completely ridiculous. I had to get Loki, who was living elsewhere in the city,  to turn everyone back because he was the only one with a high enough magic skill. First I tried simply inviting him over, hoping he’d just cast the charm himself, or taking them over to his place, but he’d just ignore their plight, and sometimes cast the reversal spell ON HIMSELF, while standing right infront of them, just to be a dick, i guess. So I had to switch back to his household (just him, a raven, and some cats. I had played a game earlier where it was him, Odin, Freyja and Thor, but he and Thor grew up and moved out, which is when i started the Avengers mansion. Though Verity lived across the street, and he had ghost Leah hanging around), and have him just invite them over and de-frog everyone. Then Tony died in a freak jetpack accident, because of course I gave him a jetpack, so I had ghost Iron Man hanging around for a while, until I got bored of that and got Loki to come over AGAIN and revive him, because he had a genie lamp. (though bizarrely i seem to have neglected to take screen caps of that) So in my game Loki ended up repeatedly saving the Avengers asses because they kept fucking up. Ah, it was a fun game. Maybe I should just dust that off instead. I could make the Sanctum Sanctorum and Doctor Strange so i could have a sane magician besides Loki hanging around to de-frog people (though I think i did eventually get Wanda’s skills high enough to reverse it, can’t remember for sure). Or maybe make the X-Mansion across the street.

Awesome. Though I do not recognize all of them. But there are some surprising omissions, too…. Where is Lady Loki, or Walt Simonson’s Loki?

So, Mighty Thor #1 was pretty good overall, I feel like now that Jane’s identity is out to the readers, she will feel much more well rounded as a character, she definitely felt that way already this issue. But of course it was the final page reveal I am most interested in. I know a lot of people are probably kinda worried that all the character development done in Agent of Asgard has just been undone, but I think Laufey is in the right here, he knows his son. Loki can not be trusted. But that’s not a bad thing here. Pretty sure Loki is infiltrating Malekith’s little evil club, spying on them, maybe will attempt to take them down from the inside. I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes, especially his interactions with Laufey. Does Laufey know that it was Loki that finished him off way back when? I am also glad that Dauterman made the new staff to look much less like the movie scepter. I did not like that they looked so similar.

also, curious about where Thor (Odinson) is.

Hahaha! I really think Ryan North had fun with Loki in Squirrel Girl. Also, it was nice that it was clear that, unlike when he showed up in Ms Marvel, this made sense in terms of where it fit. Came right before issue 10 of Agent of Asgard, and that was pretty clear. Ms Marvel, while it was fun, just… made no sense.

Loki crushing the Cosmic Patrol gate in Marvel Heroes, with some appropriate theme music provided by Amon Amarth.

(via Marvel Heroes: Loki vs Cosmic Patrol Gate)

They added a trial to access Cosmic patrol zones in Marvel Heroes, and my Loki just destroyed it. Red Skull went down so fast the second Stark Sentinel couldn’t even spawn. Quite pleased with this performance.

Agent of Asgard thoughts

Just a few thoughts on the latest issue of Agent of Asgard. Spoilers lie ahead.

So, I can see now what Al’s hints about Verity meant, though I was kinda off track on my initial conclusions (… maybe?). oh well, it’s how it goes when you speculate about stories. But I was right about the bracelet, and did figure she must have had some connection to Roger Willis. My thought now is that this is how Loki keeps Verity’s story from becoming corrupted on Battleworld. Loki may not realize what Doom will end up doing right now, and just think they’re saving her period, but still. If the incursion happened and Verity was there, then she (like everyone else on Battleworld) would have had their stories re-written by Doom. By having Verity tell her story, Loki was able to save that story, her essence, and can save it from being rewritten. Once LOKI is on Battleworld (we have yet to see which of the Lokis is the 616 one, but I can’t think of any that we have seen so far that has that bracelet, so ‘our’ Loki may not have appeared yet) if he can use Verity’s essence to see through the giant fucking lie that is Battleworld… and one would hope once Secret Wars is over, Verity can be restored. Loki is the god of stories now, it should be well within his capabilities to re-make her.

A little disappointed that Loki was not involved in rescuing Lorelei and Sigurd, though events did match up with Odin’s words from earlier. It’s just that it was largely Loki’s fault they were on the Isle of Silence (though, a big part of that was Odin being dramatic too) so I hoped that he would be the one to put things right there.

Mixed feelings about Freyja’s sacrifice. I was hoping for more interaction with her and Loki (not King Loki, fuck him)

Can we talk about this page, for a second here? Not what he’s saying, or even necessarily what’s happening, but how he’s doing it, how it’s put together. First panel, he breaks the borders by grabbing hold of the panel border, then he jumps off panel and sits in the gutters a while, before turning into ink and dripping into the final panel.

Thor is stuck in the story, but Loki breaks out of it, and is operating outside of it, he has control of the story. I may have been wrong about someone else inserting him into the story, but he is still operating by manipulating the story itself.

Lookit this mod! Look at it! Ok, it looks a bit glitchy, but still… I am so downloading this shit and playing as Loki. I’m gonna have 4 of the spells set to fixed forms, I’m thinking fox, horse, giant, and…. i dunno… wolf? fish? spider? an the 5th, that will be the fun one. I will use it to infiltrate enemy factions by disguising myself as them, then wreaking havoc with illusion magic. I may post my playtime on Twitch.

"Loki is in a redemption arc already, and has found himself faced with the challenge of proving..."

“"Loki is in a redemption arc already, and has found himself faced with the challenge of proving himself capable of being a hero, but of course the person who doubts him the most is himself," notes Rick Remender. "And deep down, in the recesses of his mind, there is his future self cackling at him, pulling him into despair, convincing him that there is no other road for him. And AXIS will allow him to answer that question once and for all for himself, as to what the true fiber and makeup of his character is and whether or not he is inferior to his half-brother Thor."”



- Interesting quote on Marvel’s site today. Gives me a bit of reassurance about AXIS, that Remender understands where he stands at the moment and will respect it. I hope he is uninverted in the end, though, so he can continue the redemption story he started without some outside force taking over. I feel very strongly that it has to come from within, but I am ok with the Inversion giving him a bit of a push in the right direction. The fact that the inversion is kinda being played for laughs in his solo book kinda reassures me on that front, though. Also, he definitely implies that future Loki is not real, but while my thought was character in a story, he’s suggesting something more akin to what happened in Young Avengers, with his doubts and guilt manifesting physically. Though he may be kinda misunderstanding Ewing’s plans there.

So having a look at the full preview and this page in particular, I am even more intrigued. We the Minotaur/Roxxon guy, Enchantress and Ulik, which all have some potential for interesting things, but the things that intrigue me most are Loki with a broken horn and new costume, and what appears to be one of Thor’s circle costume thingies on his belt, Hela and the Hel-Wolf. I think this, especially the Hel-wolf which has pretty much only appeared in Kieron Gillen’s Journey Into Mystery, all but confirms that elements of the story will be tying up some loose ends from Gillen’s JIM run, and I am betting a large part of the story will involve Odinson and Loki resolving things after Thor learns about what Loki did in JIM 645. Also, it just dawned on me that this lady thor’s costume has some elements taken right from King Thor’s costume, mainly the brown skirt thing and the gorget, so i think that’s yet another point in favor of her being Frigg traveling to the past for some reason.

Loki and Unworthy Thor

I started out trying to keep this spoiler free, but in the end I couldn’t. It doesn’t work being vague about it. Contains Journey into Mystery spoilers.

So, Thor just became ‘unworthy’ in Original Sin, but the reason why is being kept a secret, for now. What we know is that it was a secret that he heard, then BOOM, dropped the hammer. This strikes me as… odd… and I would have preferred it happened in, you know, his own book, or at least in the Thor and Loki miniseries, (I actually assumed it would be there, but guess not. He appears to come back from that little adventure completely unscathed, since this scene must take place after he gets back) I have an idea on what this secret is, though, and it just hit me today just how large the repercussions could be for both Thor and Loki if my hunch is correct. Anyway, I think the secret is, you know, what Loki did at the end of JiM. You know, that whole unpleasantness he is currently consumed with guilt over and trying his damnedest to keep Thor from learning, the ‘crime that will not be forgiven’. His BIG SECRET that was conspicuously absent from the earlier secrets explosion. What he did was terrible, and I think Thor would take it poorly, to say the least. Maybe bad enough to want Loki dead for good. Kinda like what happened here, in Agent of Asgard #1:

I am fairly certain this page was totally foreshadowing future events. Note that the second Thor tries to kill Loki, he becomes unworthy. In this case, Loki removes the corrupting magic from Thor with his magic sword, and all is well a few minutes later. But what if it was not the result of some evil corrupting influence, it was just Thor finally snapping towards his brother? Probably harder to bounce back from, he’ll have to forgive Loki. This is something he has always done in the past, no matter how little sense it made. He has always held out hope that there was something redeemable about him, and then with Kid Loki, he was finally proven right after looking like a gullible fool for years and years. Heartwarming, it was. But what Loki did was… pretty bad…. it’s not the usual conquer the world/Asgard sort of shenanigans, or anything. But it’s more personal, and probably more hurtful to Thor (remember, the dialogue was ‘Remember this hurt” right before the secret dropped) Loki can rationalize it all he likes about himself being the real victim or being a weapon rather than the murderer, or a clone, whatever. But from Thor’s perspective, Loki murdered his brother. An innocent child. Then took his place and lied about it. All this time, their friendly relationship has been based on murder and lies. I sympathize with Loki, I think he is genuinely trying to be a better person, (not exactly a ‘good’ person, but better. He is at worst ‘chaotic neutral’ right now) even if he sometimes goes about it in a bad way, and I don’t think he wants to hurt Thor, or anyone else. But it doesn’t change what he did to get to this place in his life, that’s some deep and hurtful betrayal, right there.

Even if the secret isn’t what I am guessing, assuming that Thor is banished until he becomes worthy again, it STILL potentially makes LOKI the sole heir to the throne. (I don’t think Angela counts, considering the circumstances) All their other brothers are dead. It’s a bit ironic. He has been trying (and mostly failing) FOR CENTURIES to nab the throne, and now he is in position to have it legitimately without even trying. Maybe without even wanting it. And with Thor disgraced, their roles have been completely reversed. Loki is the good son, and Thor is the bad son. Sort of, anyway. And I’m sure it’s temporary. But if my theory is right, and Thor goes all out for revenge against him? It goes even further than that, Thor has become the villain to good guy Loki. A sympathetic one, but still.

And you know what? at this point, despite that whole unpleasantness with Kid Loki, he’d actually make a good ruler. Better than the All-Mother who are stuck in the past, better than the vindictive and sometimes cruel Odin, better than the too trusting Thor. He wouldn’t have before, he would have been a tyrant. But now? His heart is in the right place now, he’s smart, and is not as gullible and trusting as the All-Mother or Thor. The sort of shit Asgard has to deal with, you need someone cunning and able to understand and deal with shady ulterior motives and backstabbing. He knows that better than anyone.

If this isn’t how it goes, and the secret is something stupid, I shall be disappointed.
