This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.
Me, watching the first three episodes: “Wow, the way they’re writing this ‘Terry’ guy can be a little annoying. I don’t think I’m going to like his character very much.”
*Episode 4 happens, Terry has the ‘get a grip’ conversation*
Me: *Raises eyebrow* Go on.
Terry, later: “Everyone saw me as a doe, but I knew I was a buck.” “I chose my name.”
Me, immediately:
I made...a moodboard... Manager of Mischief
Feel free to use it if you’d like, just please credit me for making it, lol.
When I was bullied in school, they usually focused on me being ugly, the things I made being ugly (being an artist), my love of fantasy and mythology, or me being weird/stupid.
With that in mind, I’m honestly not sure. Most rogues/villains are at least smart, lol. So, if we’re talking which already existing villain/rogue I’d be, I’m kind of stumped. (Though, to be fair, what I lack is scholarly intelligence. Not cleverness.) Maybe, depending on the version, Mad Hatter? I don’t think so though.
However, if we’re talking about who would I be in a more ‘original character’ sense... The first thing that came to mind is some kind of Rumpelstiltskin or Cheshire cat-themed character. Idk, I think it kind of fits. (Or maybe that’s just my recent hyperfixation on Once upon a time and Alice in wonderland talking, who knows?)
So everyone, if this was the DCU, what kind of villain/rouge would you be based on what you’ve been bullied for as a kid?
If anyone says they’d be a hero you’re BLOCKED!
Why was Steven King hired at the bank?
Because he was Pennywise.
AU idea: (Android-Loki AU by myself, lol. Though I’m sure someone else must’ve thought of this, haha.)
Possible trigger warnings?: Parental neglect? I mean, it’s Loki, he’s the poster child of parental abuse/neglect. Brief mention of a mortal kombat fatality-style death.
Full idea below:
We’ll call this Loki...Lodroid? Just for the sake of simplicity. (I might come up with a better name later.)
In this timeline, Lodroid was made as a ‘companion’ and ‘protector’ of sorts for Thor, as he was an only child in this universe. Everyone but Thor and Lodroid knew about it, but Odin made it an unspoken law to never mention it to either of them.
Lodroid was programmed with a ‘self-awareness protocol’ that basically forces him to avoid any thought or idea that he’s robotic. So, his mind forces him to avoid the thought subconsciously, which would be overridden by any physical proof that this is the case. (Thus why nobody is allowed to mention it.) Lodroid is also pre-programmed to see Thor as his brother and Frigga/Odin as his parents.
‘Magic’ infused within Lodroid’s body made him capable of magic on his own, as well as casting a disguise over his robotic body to make him seem organic. (Like how he was cast over to not look like a Jotun in the OG universe.) His robotics also made specifically to seem as ‘asgardian’ as possible. (Ie: He can eat and drink, which is turned into fuel to power him, he needs sleep, he feels pain, he feels emotion, etc.)
For many years, he ‘grew up’ alongside his brother Thor, Odin, and Frigga. (Odin still neglected him, he was still ignored and basically bullied by the other Asgardians, etc. Frigga still was kind to him though, still seeing him as her son, even if he was artificial, as she knows that he still has emotions and thoughts.)
So, it basically remains pretty similar up until the events of ‘Thor’. When they end up in Jotunheim. Here, Lodroid’s arm is grabbed by the Jotun, but instead of turning blue, his skin starts to crumble like it does for everyone else. Lodroid panicked and in pain, lashes out. Remember when I said he was a ‘protector’ as well as companion? He was outfitted with weaponry, which only activated here, when both brothers were in critical danger. Lodroid’s palm fires a blast of highly concentrated energy, which basically fires right through the Jotun (Fatality, Loki wins)
Of course, this wasn’t normal magic, Lodroid was well-aware of that as soon as he realized what happened. But if not his usual magic, what was it?
Thor gets sent to earth, and Lodroid goes mad trying to figure out what it was. Then, it clicks. He finds the beam matched that of the destroyer's almost exactly. Lodroid figures out that there’s an enchantment cloaking him and while standing in front of a mirror, uses his own magic to override the illusion. Only to be met with a terrible sight.
Lodroid is met with mechanics, metal, and two green, glowing camera shutter optical lenses. (I imagine it looks similar to a mixture of C-3PO and a terminator.) And now he can see it: ‘Self awareness protocols disengaged’... ‘System procedures visible’... ‘Information overload in progress’... ‘Emotional levels reaching critical’... ‘Systems crashing’... ‘Oxygen levels compromised’...
This is the point he’s found by Odin, who finds him staring at his uncloaked appearance in the mirror. ‘Meltdown in progress’. However in this version of events, due to his not actually being organic, he’s disallowed the throne by default as he’s not recognized as Odin’s ‘real son’. (”Was I just some toy for Thor to play with until he grows bored of me?! What would you have done had you no use of me, would you have thrown me into a scrapyard?!”)
Frigga tries to get him to calm down, oh how she tries. But Lodroid, unable to access the destroyer’s might, is basically forced to confront Thor on his own. Thor doesn’t recognize him at first, as he’s still uncloaked here, but Sif and the warriors definitely do. It’s a shock to the senses for Thor, who up until now was also in the dark about it. Sif and the others are convinced that Lodroid is irreversibly off the deep-end, Sif even mentioning in passing that she ‘saw this coming a long time ago.’ (Insert Darcy making a robocop or terminator joke, you choose, lol.)
The fight is way more emotional than you might think it is at first. Lodroid and Thor basically ending in a tie as Thor basically tells Lodroid that regardless of what secrets may be hiding, that he’ll always be his brother. (He deserves a semi-happy conclusion to this, you can’t tell me otherwise.) Big difference in this timeline: Lodroid doesn’t go back to Asgard. He says he will once they try making the trip home (with some side eyes from Sif and the others.) but when they arrive in Asgard from the bifrost, he’s not there.
Nope, Lodroid left sneakily. He’s off to try and figure out what to do next after this huge revelation/identity crisis. But that doesn’t mean he won’t end up appearing for ‘The Avengers’. Thor is kind of bummed out, because he can’t find his brother, but hey, at least he can visit his girlfriend here instead of just disappearing, eh?
This post is getting long so I’ll leave this here for now. If people like it enough I might make a sequel for ‘The Avengers’. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Your daily reminder that I will never accept TR, IW and Loki show as canon not only because of retcon of the original storyline, but also because all of them completely ignored THIS:
Also: cryokinesis and levitating were unfortunately never shown on-screen, and the most of his powers were shown for a few seconds and usually is just made fun of in TR and LS.
(And he is literally a genius. Not only in magic but in ANY KIND OF TECHNOLOGY. And they just forgot about it)
Forgive me if there's something in the comics that makes these opinions obsolete or something, I haven't read all Marvel comics, but-
I think it's ridiculous that the MCU made Asgardians aliens rather than actual gods. Especially given that they made Egyptian gods canon later with Moon Knight.
First of all, if you're gonna make some of them gods, why not make all of them gods? That doesn't make sense? Second, someone pointed this out in a post I saw some time ago, but based on the timeline and the canon ages of the characters, it makes no sense. According to that 'canon' timeline, Loki would've been a child during the time the Norse would've known about them to create stories, which doesn't align at all. So even without the Egyptian gods, it makes no sense.
Yeah, yeah, I get it, the 'Eternals' and shit, but like-... really? Maybe I'm biased just because I know the original runs had the Asgardians as actual gods with immortality and everything, but that makes far more sense to me then the MCU handles it. I'm just saying.
I could go on multiple tangents about stuff in the MCU, especially about stuff after Phase 3, but honestly, I would really rather pretend Phase 4+ doesn't exist and just keep my imperfect, but still fun, Phases three and below (Minus Ragnarok).
Me, realizing 'Stolitz' is end game for Helluva Boss apparently, and now getting to the point of wanting to avoid the show because these two definitely aren't in a healthy relationship.
Man, why - other than fan service - would Viv want these two to be together? It's so toxic!
I'm not saying Stolas is free of blame, here, but I feel like they're equally bad for each other. They're equally using each other albeit for different reasons. It's a toxic situation for both sides and I don't see how people keep forgetting that Blitzo is constantly doing a 'hot and cold' act with Stolas. Please, do not do this Viv, come on, now. Please make the end be Stolas and Blitzo permanently breaking up and moving on to healthier relationships.
To be frank, the double standards of the mcu are hilariously ridiculous:
A man who killed people after the loss of his family is evil and deserves to spend the rest of life in solitary confinement
But a man who killed people after the loss of his family was just grieving and made a mistake
The difference? One of them is an avenger
Mind control is an evil thing to do
Wanda can mind control as many people as many times as she wants to, nobody cares
Torture is bad
It's okay if Thor, Mobius or Wanda are the ones doing it
Being mind controlled makes you innocent if your name is Clint Barton
Being stripped of your memories, even if you made a decision to torture and kill people and enjoyed the process, makes you innocent if your name is Mobius
Being tortured and brainwashed and stripped of your memories is just extenuating circumstances if your name is Bucky Barnes (they originally claimed him innocent but then changed their mind in phase 4)
Being tortured, mind controlled and having your memories altered is your own fault and is no excuse, you enjoyed it anyway, if your name is Loki
Slavery is bad
If Valkyrie spends over a thousand years enslaving people and selling them to the Grandmaster with no remorse, well, she is just making money, give her the throne
Kidnapping babies and hurting and using them their entire life is bad (if you're Dreykov)
But Thanos loved Gamora
And Loki is an ungrateful brat for not appreciating Odin
The list goes on, btw
no offense but male protagonists whose strength comes from empathy, compassion and humanity will always be more interesting than snarky assholes who punch everything and treat everyone around them like shit
