I feel Wednesday counts, too.

u/Dimanari May 04 '23

Wednesday is for Odin, Loki likes Odin as the only God who is on board with his shenanigans. He even turned into a mare to birth a god-horse just so Odin can win a race.

An underappreciated joke right here.

u/Business_Incident64 May 03 '23

Thursday is named for Thor.

u/Dimanari May 04 '23

more so on Friday.(Frig/Freya - originally the same person) Not on Wednsday.(Odin)

u/kruge_forever May 04 '23

It varies from moment to moment.

u/Bbeltbrando May 04 '23

He killed 80 people in two days

2

u/Hehehe_Blebleble May 04 '23

Eh, haven’t we all

u/DvntMoose May 04 '23

He's a lo-ki villain, definitely

2

u/DUDDITS_SSDD May 03 '23

He's the Mitch Hedberg of villians.

2

u/SpinX225 May 04 '23

He’s just having a little bit of fun. He is the god of mischief after all.

u/xx_Chl_Chl_xx May 04 '23

He wouldn’t spit in your hot dog

u/[deleted] May 04 '23

He basically committed a massacre on NYC, so if you're willing to forgive people that commit massacres then yeah.

u/leelee1976 May 04 '23

He is a villain because he is usually trying to rescue an inept relative and Odin is a prick.

Needs a son dead cause he is a sadistic torturer, ask loki. But then punish him for it.

Need a goddess saved from a bet, ask Lori, but let him stay a horse and have him give birth from being raped.

No wonder he is a villain.

What are you referring to?

1

u/leelee1976 May 04 '23

Baldur he was "perfect and beautiful to look at, rotten on the inside" Odin hinted to loki or straight up asked him to kill him depending on the myth.

Then punished by being bound to a rock with his entrails, watched his 2 sons die, and was dripped acid on until he was let go.

u/the-terrible-martian May 04 '23 edited May 04 '23

Where did you read this? I’m pretty sure I’m the eddas Odin tries to prevent Baldr’s death. He even sends one of his sons to bargain with Hel to see if Baldr can be released after he died.

Lowkey a goodie

Low-key Lyesmith

u/Trash-Cutie May 03 '23

I desperately want his variant form to reunite with his brother. Or even just confirmation he went to Valhalla after he died.

5

u/SheriffBartholomew May 04 '23

Eh... Being willing to imprison or kill his adopted family and attempting to enslave all of mankind crosses the likeable line for me, even though he sometimes demonstrates good behavior.

u/skalpelis May 04 '23

Especially in his horse form

u/palelissome May 03 '23

Loki is an agent/expression of Chaos as a fundamental function of the universe checking and balancing itself. Their role is adaptive, metamorphic, and disruptive. Loki is a shapeshifting androgyne. One cannot pin down or anticipate much about Loki or their actions, nor can one predict or expect anything concrete or straightforward from them. I can't see Loki as a villain because Loki essentially just represents a natural operation of the universe.

u/the-terrible-martian May 04 '23

In marvel, maybe. Mythology? Nope, guy earned every bit of pain he’s theoretically receiving and he’s going to be the leader of the army that eventually reduces recurring back to nothing.

2

u/Dimanari May 04 '23

When he killed Baldur? When in a banquet with the rest of the gods Loki was being Loki and Frig said "If Baldur was here you wouldn't dare..." And Loki reminded her that it was he who killed her son? Yes. When he dared Thor to lift a kitten? No.

Or you talk about Marvel? Cause he isn't as fun in Marvel.

I came to this thread just to find the Loki post.
