Despite the fact that Loki is a very controversial character in the Marvel cinema universe, in a few years he managed to acquire millions of fans around the world. What do we know about him, and for what statements and actions he was especially remembered by the audience?
Birth story
Loki Lafeyson is the son of Lord Jotun Lafey. When the future God of mischief was a baby, his father left him to certain death. The boy survived only because he was found by the king of Asgard Odino, and was subsequently raised in his palace as a prince. He was not the only child in the newfound family, and according to many quotes from Loki from the movie “Avengers”, he was bothered by this fact. So, having matured, the hero told his stepbrother Thor:
I remember myself as a shadow cast off by the rays of your greatness.
Loki's transformation into an antagonist
Despite the fact that Loki grew up a mischievous and kind child, this did not stop him from going over to the dark side one day. What is the reason for these changes? Perhaps the answer can be understood from this quote by Loki:
I didn’t need a throne! I just wanted to be your equal.
And again these words were turned towards Thor. Growing up, the son of Lafey began to suspect that they treat his brother more condescendingly than he did, and for a long time he could not understand what was the reason.
Nevertheless, confusion spread in his soul, and when he found out that Odin was not his own father, resentment prevailed over him.
Loki's abilities
Perhaps one of the most important trump cards of the character can be called his sharp mind and forethought. Savvy more than once helped him get out of difficult situations, avoid death, and even successfully initiate his death. After one of these “tricks”, they had the following dialogue with Thor, once again emphasizing Loki’s tendency to irony:
- I mourned for you! Mourned! I was killed!
- I'm flattered.
He also inherited from his father the ability to withstand the effects of any poison, disease. He actively studied the art of magic, thanks to which he learned to turn not only into other people, but also into animals. Loki is strong in creating various illusions and hypnosis, which he actively used in the projects of the cinema universe Marvel. Like many other comic book characters, Odin's adoptive son is able to teleport and fly.
Loki's Attempts to Take Earth
The first acquaintance of the audience with this antagonist Marvel took place in the project “Thor” - fans remembered many of Loki's quotes. From the "Avengers" it became apparent that he did not forgive his brother and conceived a real villainy.
Having attacked earthlings, he intended to enslave them, declaring:
Freedom does not make you enjoy life, but dream of gaining power.
Despite the fact that then the attempt to ruin the world dear to his brother was unsuccessful, Loki did not leave this thought. Trying to confront him, Thor met other famous superheroes, and subsequently they joined together in the brave team of the Avengers.
Loki's ironic quotes
Despite the fact that Loki is considered the antagonist of the cinematic universe Marvel, many viewers fell in love with him. Perhaps the reason is that he could never completely go to vileness in relation to the foster family, and always something stopped him.
Also, one cannot help but recall the many ironic quotes of Loki, quickly scattered across social networks. For example, a lot of funny memes were made with the saying:
You must be really desperate, since you came to me for help.
So, what phrases of God of cunning and deception also make his fans smile?
- How I adore it! The world is hanging by a thread, and you are bargaining for a guy.
- That's bad luck. Died!
- Brilliant! He took and beheaded grandfather. You know, this is wonderful. This is an awesome idea. Let's steal the largest and most noticeable ship in the Universe and run away on it, flying around the city, knocking down everything that gets in the way so that everyone can see us! This is great, Thor, truly magnificent!
- That's what you like! It was so beautiful without you! Asgard flourished! Golden days!
- Discussion, like communication, cannot be called our skate.
Many fans of comics liked Loki, I want to watch him, I want to listen to him.
