#helmet asks

Loki’s helmet in the earlier movies, the ones with the huge horns, it’s fucking ugly.

I hate it. I CANNOT take it seriously. If I was in that universe and saw that fucking helmet, I’d get murdered on the spot for insulting him. Me in Germany, seeing that grand speech and all? Only thing I’d be able to think about is how fucking ridiculous that helmet is.

I’m sorry, I know this is a criminal act in the Loki fandom but I needed to tell someone and I’d rather not get slaughtered so anon it is.

I can’t be the only one thinking this right?

One of life's great questions on a weekend I see.

You have a valid point, and I for one will not chastise anyone for their costume preference. It is ostentatious and garish but it's very theatrical and Asgardy you must admit.

Having said that, I feel that his helmet in Thor 1/the Avengers had it's pros and cons. The curvature to his bone structure and brow is exquisite...every inch a fancy Prince.

I'll be honest, it's his eyebrows that piss me off in Thor 1 more than the helmet. WHO WAXED HIS BEAUTIFUL BROWS. the audacity. Anyway. Back to the helmet.

For me it lacks a critical element of his Loki-Ness. His hair. And for that reason, I personally favour the later iteration of the helmet with the half covering. More him. I feel like the designers realised it was a missed opportunity for his hair acting. And no way he could pull off this move with that other thing.

I've always felt that on a practical level, the horns are kind of ridiculous. But then, all of their helmets are meant to be ridiculous and theatrical and pompous caricatures of their Asgardian status and personal lore.

Better horns than little wings, that's what I say😂🤘

I really love Loki's early helmet and I think his thinner brows make him look more regal and youthful? Their progression to looking more bushy sort of feels like Loki's growth too. By Ragnarok he's got them bushier brows and is also more mature yknow? I will still maintain that with his thinner brows he looks absolutely magnificent but he's Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, so obviously he's perfect!

This is a safe space sweet thing, no arguing here. 😁🤭 I love that you love the first helmet, and as I said, it has its pros. It's definitely the most rrrregal.

RE: the brows, Idk what the heck was going on but I'm just glad it was rectified by Avengers 😂 I know what you mean about the progression, and I am still obsessed with Thor 1 Loki like most of us....i just have a thing about eyebrows 🤷‍♀️😂what can I say.

You're right he looks magnificent regardless, very preened and prim. It definitely adds to his youthfulness. perhaps the bushy brows were too sexually charged for the first movie, who knows. 🤭
