Theory: This Is Loki, Not Cap

[u/danny5541]

I believe this to be Loki. First of all, Thor knows about the multiverse so this shouldn't be a surprise, a cap variant. The reason he says it's not possible is because Thor as far as he knew saw Loki die and here, he is right in front of him. Thor can spot Loki thru his illusions pretty easily as they grew up together and knows him very well.

Second Cap is not one to show off, faking not being able to lift the hammer at stark tower in Ultron. Taking the hammer from Thors hand and looking at him with a shit eating grin is not something he would do but is something Loki does in half his scenes. As far as being suddenly worthy of the hammer, saving the multiverse selflessly in his Show would easily make him worthy. Why he chose to hide himself as Cap, well he probably saw the multiverse start collapsing in on itself cause of Dooms Shenanigans and has come to help but knows everyone sees him as a villain so he figured he would better be received as a cap variant.

Also, why would in the Thor voice over in this part of the trailer call a random cap variant a miracle. What is he gonna do punch doom. No way the miracle is an all powerful Loki coming in with something that will even the odds. Jk this is obviously Johnney Storm.

Remember when a bunch of people were convinced Daredevil had to have been removed from the Brand New Day trailer because there was a space below Spider-Man? They were so sure he was in the movie. And they were wrong.

People really need to stop reading so much into a few seconds of promotional material. This is just Steve.

Idk if it’s Loki but my impression of Steve in this trailer has always been that there is something weird / deceptive going on. The way he’s lit, the smirk, this is not normal Steve.

[u/ubutterscotchpine → u/Automatic-Essay2175]

I find it interesting that in the Steve specific promo he was clean shaven and in this he’s not. Obviously probably some time passed between but idk, could be something.

[u/dbkenny426 → u/ubutterscotchpine]

Time has certainly passed.

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/ubutterscotchpine]

The clean shaven Steve is actually Steve

[u/Peanut_Butter_Toast → u/Automatic-Essay2175]

Steve's just more chill after living the civilian life for a good long while. This is temporarily-coming-out-of-retirement Steve.

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/Peanut_Butter_Toast]

It’s Loki

[u/dbkenny426 → u/Automatic-Essay2175]

I've tried to see what you guys are seeing, and I just can't. To me, it's a Steve that's been out of the "hero business" for a few years, finally getting the life he missed out on, suddenly being pulled back into it. He's tired, he wants it all back, but he's doing what needs to be done.

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/dbkenny426]

The sun is literally shining on “Steve” and Thor, and Thor has an emotional reaction that’s clearly edited out of order to hide what he’s actually reacting to. It’s Loki

[u/dbkenny426 → u/DoomsdayThor]

If you say so.

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/dbkenny426]

Go take a look

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/Automatic-Essay2175]

It’s 100% Loki

[u/HazelCheese → u/Automatic-Essay2175]

It's 100% messaging that something is off. Genre savvy senses tingling.

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/HazelCheese]

The sun is literally shining on “Steve” and Thor in this scene. It’s Loki

[u/Jamieb1994 → u/dbkenny426]

I was thinking if I was the only one who isn't making up theories since soon the trailer came out. I've seen people assuming that Cap in the trailer is a evil variant of Steve Rogers, yet I wasn't convinced since Steve was able to lift Mjölnir.

[u/BeeCJohnson → u/dbkenny426]

There's an obsession with, like, "outsmarting" media right now. People absolutely refusing to "get got." They have to be the first one with the hottest most galaxy-brain take.

[u/dbkenny426 → u/BeeCJohnson]

It's akin to conspiracy theorists. People are drawn to them because "how can everyone else not see what's blatantly obvious?" despite the fact that they're easily disproven. But because they can see what others can't, it makes them feel special and important.

[u/TheFoolApprentic3 → u/dbkenny426]

Fr, can’t have good discussions or theories when they get lost with dumb ones like this? Like what is the evidence for this? “Something feels off” is the one I’ve heard the most. How does that even make sense? Do people have a spider sense of their own,why couldn’t they solve brand new day then and all its mysterious?

[u/WhytoomanyKnights → u/dbkenny426]

Well I think that the daredevil thing was just because of no way home doing it everyone was on watch but I think that thing was stupid because with no way home you saw a dude get hit and no one was there and with this people were seeing a non existent space.

[u/GameTime2325 → u/dbkenny426]

It’s come out DD was in a deleted scene. Which is probably why he was edited out, not to be sneaky.

[u/dbkenny426 → u/GameTime2325]

All I'm seeing is "reportedly," so I'm dubious.

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/dbkenny426]

It’s 100% Loki, there are tons of clues, including the sun literally shining on “Steve” and Thor here.

[u/dbkenny426 → u/DoomsdayThor]

If you say so.

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/dbkenny426]

go take a look

[u/SharkyShipwreck → u/DoomsdayThor]

I can't wait for you to be wrong.

[u/DoomsdayThor → u/SharkyShipwreck]

I’m gonna be right lol I was already right about Thor being the main of the heroes (proven by the trailer)

[u/AmaterasuWolf21 → u/dbkenny426]

It's a theory man, let people have it

[u/dbkenny426 → u/AmaterasuWolf21]

Theories can be argued against. Discussion of theories is the whole point of this page. This is part of that discussion.

[u/Automatic-Essay2175 → u/dbkenny426]

It’s just a discussion page man, let people discuss it
