If you submitted something last week (Aug 26-Sept 1), please resubmit it here and it will still go up this week.

The submissions post for next week is linked below as usual.

Re: Question to Loki fangirls

Well, I don't agree with the mind control theory, but I also don't think there's a completely black and white situation, in which his character as completely evil. (Petty, selfish, insecure, fuelled by thousands of years of resentment- a lot of which is understandable, but not completely evil.)

And even though Loki is a notorious trickster, in the comics it's a recurring trope that villains and Asgardians trust and fall for Loki's schemes time and time again, so it isn't being entirely dismissive by overlooking the fact that the Chitauri trusted Loki. And yes, I know, movie and comics canon are not the same thing, but the movies are still borrowing from the source material.
Tbh, I've actually just taken it for granted that MCU Loki's character is essentially similar to the Loki of the comics. I actually would be interested in seeing a different take on his character in the upcoming Thor movie, although I would be admittedly disappointed.

Loki behaves like a complete moron, and considering he's supposed to be so smart, a lot of people can't really believe he's not putting on a show
But to my my knowledge his character in MCU canon is supposed to be a moron. He had tons of moronic moments in Thor too (the scene with the Destroyer comes to mind). This is what I mean by his fans being unable to accept his flaws. I like him for the dickhole that he is.


But yeah, there's nothing wrong with having your own interpretation of canon either. And it can be frustrating to have your theories hated on all the time. I've liked unpopular things in fandom before, and it can suck. (But we moron!Loki loving fans are allowed to disagree with you too- respectfully, of course.)

Oh no, I actually agree on the part that Loki is kind of a moron. Well not kind of. A lot. I mean, who tries to argue with the Hulk? But the way he's basically going on and on about this 'IMMA RULE DA WORLD' seems a bit too vocal, even for the moron characterisation. But maybe that's just my bad memory - I need to watch the movie again as soon as I get the DVD, maybe I'm completely wrong about it.

Even then, I'm glad there are still people out there one can have a civilised conversation with.
