I wouldn't say that myth!Loki's actions are eeeeeeeevil, though. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm woobiefying him, but it's just right at the end when he truly goes against the gods and gets really destructive. In many stories, he's just doing what he wants or amending his own messes, and in most he even helps around. He was Odin's BFF (Odin himself is a piece of work) and Thor's odd buddy before Baldergate, after all. He still is a selfish loser douchecanoe; that never changed and that's how we love -or hate?- him.

I adore that comic so damn much. It broke my heart in pieces, but fuck if it didn't do it with style and a lot of feeling. It was one hell (no pun intended) of a ride.

Ack, I wrote that badly.

Loki was one of my childhood heroes actually. I mean that without woobification--I just remember being very young and reading the tale of How Thor Got His Hammer, or whatever you want to call it, right on the heels of reading a boatload of Anansi stories, and...yeah, kid me looked up to the clever ones (but also liked the idea that you couldn't get out 100% unscathed).

I meant more his actions are usually "supposed" to be read as evil. I've heard that when the myths got writ down proper, Loki got a bit more villain-ified to keep in line with the Christian mentality--there is Good and there is Evil, something that jives less with the Norse mythos of "this guy's in charge but he's kind of a dick. So's that one. Really, they're all a bag of dicks. Her? She's inSANE."

Loki's a classic trickster in that he is lazy and greedy, but not usually bad. He did get Baldir killed, though. And then marched in and aired everyone's dirty laundry like Springer.


I wasn't expecting to like the comic as much as I did, because fandom's reaction seemed to imply that Everything Was Terrible at the end, and it was all for nothing and...I didn't get that feeling. Plus, it was such a fun ride.
