I love the idea that Loki can create a story--like scenario to help Thor, but he has to give the story stakes and an antagonist to make it more powerful. That's why he takes the role of the antagonist, because he's the only one Thor can trust, even as his enemy. As usual, Ewing knows what he's doing.👌
Loki putting Thor into situations to teach him a lesson in order for him to take on a greater threat is VERY reminiscent of Beyonder in Avengers Beyond.
The one detail I like about this episode is that Thor made a massively powerful weapon and used it to shave his beard and whittle. Loki was the trickster mentor he loves being.
Please never stop making content. I wouldn't have anything to watch that keeps me this entertained!!! Thank you for your hard work. And thank you to the team behind your channel!
@@FindingMyselfOutside Not sure where you got the idea he can't from, because he can in both of them. He turns into a fly which is why Mjolnir's handle is slightly shorter than being two-handed, he's also turned into a horse to attract the horse of the person they hired to build a wall before the beginning(or end of summer, don't remember which) in exchange for one of the godesses' hand in marriage, which resulted in Odin's horse. He has powers and is literally blood brothers with Odin. I don't know where you got the idea he doesn't.
So some notes Upside down runes are a thing not something Loki created, turning a run upside down reverses or makes negative of the meaning. Second Loki was breaking character when Thor put the axe against his neck. For Thor he was shaving his beard he wasn't going to end it all and give up. But Loki thought he broke down and didnt want to lose his brother. but when he caught himself breaking character he was like, oh wait i mean no I have worse things instore for you totaly. You have to understand Loki is playing the enemy here because thats what Thor needs, but Loki still deeply cares for Thor thats what Thor realizes at the end that this is all just a trick as you said. Loki was setting him up to win. Also rune stones and Rune staff are two different things. Runes are used for magic or language or fortunetelling.
@@SuperRONDALERight? That'd be cool to see, it would be a cool idea for a Black Panther comic to set it up as if Loki's attacking T'Challa and nope it's Anansi.
@@saturnnet1627 Not confused, just simply doesn't care. At least we don't have a horse getting Loki pregnant like the mythology. If you can't handle a shapeshifter... Shapeshifting then you aren't ready for Egyptian, Greek, Norse, Hindu ect. 💀
It feels like Ewing is getting close to the true Norse Religion with how he's writing Loki. In those stories, Loki is not Thor's adopted brother but Odin's blood brother. And he's not an evil mastermind hell-bent on power above all; his purpose is to push the Norse Realms forward and make them grow.
@@Generic-usernam3 He does. But Ragnarök is a cycle, something that brings about another phase of the world. It's not inherently evil. And the Asgardians are not inherently good, either.
@@FallenOne669 True. Ragnarok is the tale of the end of all things, but also the beginning. But then again, Loki did F a horse. He may not be inherently evil, but he sure is a twisted guy!
Holy shit.. 8th world loki?! Thats the MCU verison!! He saw THE loki holding things together an learned hes a variation an thus free all thank to himself being on an actual throne that matters.. at the end of everything an outside of time an space such a neat detail!
to my knowledge norse runes simply change their meaning by being upside down or right side up, loki did not actually change the meaning of it fundamentally, he simply inversed it, thus changing the meaning as anyone else could who uses runes and their magic
In truth, Odin hung upside down from Yggdrasil taking no food or water for a number of days in order to discover the knowledge of the runes. The upside down thing is new age and not unlike an upside down tarot card.
even so, from my understanding, loki did not fundamentally change the nature of the rune as rob seems to believe by the way he describes it@@abysscallstoabyss55
@@Marukanitel He's not the god of stories lmao. They just went with the whatever trendy buzzword to build hype off misinformation. Lokis storyline is not the same as the comic god of stories and neither are his powers. So no idc whatever inaccurate interview you got your source from
Who would win Loki God of Stories vs Jobu Tupaki from Everything Everywhere All At Once? Just for context I don’t know if it’s true but it has been claimed that Jobu Tupaki is the most powerful character ever created.
Well, my new character I'm literally making up rn off the top of my head, "Matülæ" has Jobu Tupaki's power but exists in the realm of things that never existed and is technically equal to if not more powerful because Jobu Tupaki can't do anything against something that technically doesn't exist. Blam. I have no idea who Jobu is, I've never seen that movie.. haha I'm just heavily under the influence of cannabis and want to start a random discussion.
Loki easily and yes I've seen the movie she's just another reality warper in Marvel as Loki in his God of Stories version easily outplayed and outclassed beyonders. Loki literally playing with the comic book's page and panel.
This is the Thor we need right now. Thor is a very very serious character. He's never the comic relief and even the joke he played on Tony Stark was the most Thor kind of joke ever. I'm saying a serious movie with a serious Thor maybe 4 or 5 years down the road would be great. What I thought Love and Thunder would be basically. Either way love this comic
I know the canon is a bit wonky with Moria messing with timelines and all that, but back in Civil war, didn't Storm say something about not even coming close to the powers of Thor?
I think it’s common in-universe knowledge that Ororo doesn’t match Thor yet, but I definitely feel it’s a respect thing. Thor is and has always been fascinated with Storm and her prowess. Not to downplay her, but I would love to see a mentor relationship between the two, as Ororo has been ushered into a new era where she’s a literal goddess. The old god pointing the way for the new
So the thing is Loki now exists at the end of time meaning he know all outcomes just from thinking of them. He is beyond infinity stones and with the power of the time stone alone strange was able to see millions of outcomes. Including how changing the past would change the future outcome. Case closed lol
So this is what Thor 5 should be about after the finale of Loki season 2 🤔 Kevin Wright said, that Loki show was a preparing to Loki & Thor reunion as Loki said in Infinity War: "The sun will shine on us again, brother". So...
Spamming ur channel. Loki is the equivalent of Dr. Doom now. He's not God of Stories, just the dude collecting the failing multi-verse. Then they'll condense again with Dr. Doom manifesting at the last minute while Loki fails. They always fail, the forshowding is perfect
So let me get this straight, Marvel comics and by extension, the MCU, took the title God of Stories from the African trickster god Anansi and gave that title and divine power to Loki of Marvel comics. I can already see Marvel fans in the future going crazy when they find out about Anansi, when they do find out about that god, they'll say "So he's like a black version of Loki, God stories version." Man! that's gonna be annoying.
Hulk in his new series is dealing with an enemy that exist outside of the TOAA im pretty sure thats above anything Thor is dealing with right now. Hulk just battled a creature in the Nexus of Realities that Man Things power could not handle. Im pretty sure the Mother Of Horrors is above anything Loki or any Utgard Being can do.
Loki in the comics is now officially gender fluid. Refers to themself as the God and goddess. Everyone in the comic uses they/them for Loki. Stop calling them He pleeeeeease.

Loki is Alan Wake confirmed

This is comics explained not comicstorian
Cannot wait to see Thor and Storm together again, they have such a great dynamic
And just like that, Rob, you brought back memories of Choose Your Own Adventures books.
Fun Fact in IRL mythology Udgard Loki is a real concept separate from normal loki (not udgard thor though)
In actual Norse mythology Loki is also not Thor’s brother and Loki has no powers whatsoever.
@@FindingMyselfOutside Loki has powers in Norse mythology. He can literally shapeshift, which is how he got up to most of his mischief.
@@JustAnAcorn No he doesn’t. Which scholar is your preferred for the prose Edda and poetic Edda?
@@FindingMyselfOutside Not sure where you got the idea he can't from, because he can in both of them. He turns into a fly which is why Mjolnir's handle is slightly shorter than being two-handed, he's also turned into a horse to attract the horse of the person they hired to build a wall before the beginning(or end of summer, don't remember which) in exchange for one of the godesses' hand in marriage, which resulted in Odin's horse. He has powers and is literally blood brothers with Odin. I don't know where you got the idea he doesn't.
@@FindingMyselfOutsideboth of those feature Loki having the ability to shape shift…
I'm so happy you've uploaded about loki 🎉❤ your knowledge really helps me tap into marvel universe! Thank you !
Hell yes! Excited and been waiting for this!
Thanks Rob. Been wondering about just this since Loki ended.

I feel bad for whoever ends up fighting Loki in Death Battle, they are not ready for someone this broken.
I want to see marvel flesh out Anasi more. I feel like he might be Loki’s equivalent in the African pantheon in Loki’s own universe.
@@SuperRONDALERight? That'd be cool to see, it would be a cool idea for a Black Panther comic to set it up as if Loki's attacking T'Challa and nope it's Anansi.
Naww they probably won't even use the right form
@@Marukanitel They've never used anything but the comic version of Marvel characters in the past.
@@Timewarpiaman They also like to leave things out or not fully explain
Looks like Loki is becoming the Loki of legends (Our legends) Not just a comic book God
He more like the God of Confusion who doesnt know whether he's a man or woman.
@@saturnnet1627 Loki is a shapeshifter. Gender doesn't mean anything to them. It's the same in the Norse Stories.
@@saturnnet1627 Not confused, just simply doesn't care.

This is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth
Storm coming in looking like a goddess and being addressed as one. As she should!
Cause she’s black?
@@virtualrealityfitness283 cause she’s the mtf weather witch, because she’s weather temperature and air, because she’s Storm…..

best review
sending those daily positive vibes from Houston everyone!🙏🏽🌊
Thor and Storm... son, Son, SON!!! WE LIVE FOR THESR TEAM UPS!!!
Man man man I love you man you always give me the vibe can you begin to make video every single day
He wasn't about to end himself. He was just shaving
Thor was just shaving, Loki just thought he was gonna end it.
Lol which is why I find it funny
Hope they pull elements if this into the MCU.. One can only hope
Loki looks like an old school Final Fantasy villain. :3
Storm and Thor are gonna knock boots CALLED IT

I miss thors uru arm :(
12:39 *_Is he even…_*
_A guy anymore?_ lol
The draw Loki a bit too Silvie In moyyy Opinion.. lol
Loki literally says he can rewrite the story in episode 6 and proceeds to use time to rewrite history or alter it.
Why is there no explanation for the creation behind the ones who dwell in Shadow
Thor wasn’t going to kill himself he was literally just shaving his beard and Loki overreacted
Ooooo are we gonna get Thor Storm...? Storm wielding Mjolnir?! Like we have to get that right?
are marvel comics canon to the MCU Multiverse?
