I think the funniest thing about shipping mantis x loki in rivals is their ironic similarities that people wouldn’t have thought to compare before.
loki is the god of mischief/lies. mantis can read his mind or feelings to find the truth.
they’re both green, Mantis has antennas, Loki’s helmet has horns.
Mantis’s abilities in rivals revolves around nature/life, and y’all know about Loki’s connection with “trees”….
and also they both have dumb (usually blonde) brothers, which, also fits my comparison because iirc Loki and thor aren’t siblings in norse mythology and are uncle/nephew instead? which makes them only brothers in the mcu, mantis and peter are only siblings in the mcu, too.
