    Loki's weakness in the comics is water, when he gets wet he can't do any magic. I'm just imagining Thor casually pushing a screaming Loki into a pool.

    Loki actually survived being headless once before, alot of ppl dont realize how powerful he was in the original comics.Classic Loki and Classic Strange were powerful as hell. He fought the Silver Surfer, defeated Beta Ray Bill who wasnt as good at seeing through his illusions as Thor was and even controlled Thor once. Depending on who was writing him too he could even trade blows with Thor but Thor always won that confrontation naturally.

      Sam H Unfortunately the Vampires including Blade from the Blade movies went through this power nerf thing as well, and became barely considered supernatural at all compared to the comics version. In the comics they had Classic vampire weaknesses like religious objects can repell vampires but you have to have the same faith to make it work but in the movies they dont do jack squat.

    It's wierd how everyone knows very well Loki is the prince of lies and a deal with him always gives you the shorter end of the stick, but they still fall for his schemes and are persuaded somehow to work with him.

    • @Sienisota
      @Sienisota 3 года назад +11

      I think that is his power. And in later comics, his curse; When he lies, people will believe him, despite knowing he is a god of lies. But when there are few times that he tries to speak the truth, (and the truth was important to Loki) no one believes him.
      The exception was in spiderman comics; when Loki and spiderman teamed up for one time. Loki spoke honestly and spiderman believed him. Loki granted a favour to spiderman, because spiderman helped him.

      The movie version of Loki is a weak villain in every sense of the word. He's not threatening or respected. The comic book Loki was the personification of evil. And I miss those days when he was drawn as a masculine evil guy with an average looking face, instead of that pretty boy they portray in comics now, mostly due to Hiddleston's popularity.
