#he has a HUGE skillset in the MCU and that's ignoring the comic counterpart's abilities

feel like part of the reason loki doesn't use his powers (apart from the writers ignorance) could possibly be because he was brought up being constantly told that it was too 'feminine' and he needed to focus on 'proper fighting skills', so hes learned to only use it when he desperately needs it, n to rely on hand to hand instead of his magic
which is fine, and i get that that idea carries over from the myths and comics and i know if they stopped nerfing him he'd be a bit too OP, but that doesn't mean have him use the bare minimum at all times!
so far all strong magic use has been implied and off-screen and 90% of it has been in outfit-changes while he loses fights he shouldn't want to get thrown around in!
#at this point he's used such little magic that i worry the blast he does in the trailer will actually end up being a single instance#marvel introduced him as a strong character and then promptly somewhere around ragnarok i think that changed#because he ended Thor 2 having gotten rid of the AllFather who is one of the strongest beings in the nine realms or whatever#so that was fine and cool right#plus he survived a blackhole and resurrections so you go ''ah yeah he's just doing stuff off-screen it's all good''#just like with the gap year of torture which was off-screen#and because Loki grew up in Asgard he KNOWS how to fight hand to hand#we've seen him match up to Thor on multiple occasions and he was absolutely thrashing Steve in AVengers 1#he goes to physical fighting first and uses magic to assist#but he DOES have the abilities to fight with magic#he has a HUGE skillset in the MCU and that's ignoring the comic counterpart's abilities#so it's a tad bit frustrating to watch him slide across the floor of a roxxcart#even if he isn't trying to hurt the opponent#then there was whatever sloppy thing the vacuum was supposed to be#he......has knives.........doesn't he#he most definitely has shielding abilities#bro bro just put up a shield oh no he cant hear us he's too busy flipping his hair ๐Ÿ˜ฉ#okay im done complaining#the Loki show#loki spoilers#loki show spoilers#but am also completely convinced that the MCU accidentally made Loki too overpowered#i mean he's got physical fighting AND magic covered PLUS master tactician and street smarts#what else is left?????#he weighs 525 pounds he could just put a Nani (lilo and stitch) on every human opponent he comes across
