#loki rambles

The little prince sat alone/There was for him no throne/Not even a metal crown/To which no one would bow.

Red, swollen eyes,/Muffled, silent cries/And a broken heart/Were nothing but the start.

He was lied to all his life/(Poor, small library mice)/Trying to be someone,/Wanting to please everyone.

But they were never satisfied/Told him he should have died/For he was a big mistake:/A monster they should never take.

So he let go into the dark abyss/And it felt like a bliss/Untill full of anger he returned /And they lock him away unconcerned.

They didn't care what he's been through,/Didn't want to know too,/Failed to see the tormented soul/No longer in control.

His brain was at least confusing/On the line between good and bad dancing/Because his tortured mind /Was one of a kind.

He would smile confidently/Not holding back from being sassy/But as soon as they were gone/His act would fall undone.

Pieces of sharp words/Cut him like swords/He tried to keep them at bay/But memories stood in his way.

The little prince wasn't worthy of trust/For he himself didn't know who to trust/He was shattered into a milion bits/Wearing them as outfits.

What so ever he felt hollow/He did not know which one to follow/So sadly he finaly become/What he was seen as by anyone.

I actually completely disagree with the ending, when Loki supposedly took over the world in one day. I only say this because he already had his throne in this timeline.

In Thor 1 and Avengers, he came down to rule Midgard because he was promised a throne (from Odin, his birthright, however, he was adopted) that he did not receive. After letting go on the Bifrost, Thanos and the Chitauri gave him some form of “hope” to fulfill that supposed destiny. In addition to being under the influence of mind control from the sceptre, he was promise an army, a throne, and some kind of authoritative role, as long as he successfully took Midgard. This was his attempt at redirecting his desires for what he was promised through another source. Again his only reason for this entire show of power was because he didn’t have that throne in the first place. 

In Marvel’s What If...? timeline, however, with both the Allfather in the all-sleep and Thor dead in this episode... Loki would have been king either way. It was a nice touch, him coming down to Midgard to avenge his brother’s death, but either way he would have been king of Asgard… There would have been no need to “take over Midgard” when he’s already got Asgard. His ambition had no reason to grow because he already had what he was promised. I only think his ambition grew in the Loki Series because, again, he didn’t have that throne in this timeline. (i.e. “Loki, King of Space,” Mobius says, before adding, “Why does someone with so much range just wanna rule?”.)

I honestly think Loki taking over was a lame attempt from Marvel to pin him as the bad guy again, despite the fact that his motive theoretically doesn’t add up anymore. This isn’t Loki negativity, by the way; I loved the episode, but I simply didn’t agree with one of their plot points, because I think it was a bit flawed. 

I did genuinely think the show was brilliant. It was witty, funny, courageous, daring, and a mystery in many ways. The build up was phenomenal, as were the callbacks and the team-ups. Each unexpected turn had me on the edge of my seat. I certainly enjoyed most of Loki’s lines too, that is up until the end. I do think they could have done better, but I will accept the episode for what it is, nevertheless. 

What the fuck have you guys done to my dash
