I don't think Loki even knows who he is. Everyone projects an image onto Loki of what makes them feel best about themselves. Whether that be the selfish villain, a poor lost child they're saving, or the eager follower who will do what's asked. Everybody does that to Loki. They can't handle that he has multiple reasons that drive his action. They don't ever want to acknowledge his emotional state. 

Where's this leave Loki? He lacks a sense of self. Loki always tried to appeal to other people to get their approval even when it made him miserable. He can scream and cry he doesn't want to rule, that was never the end goal, and yet people walk away convinced all he wants is a throne. He lacks a sense of self because no one's ever let him be himself and when he finally does break down and is honest that honesty is rejected and ignored because it's not the truth that people want.

You’re always so perceptive about everyone but yourself. -Frigga

To also emphasize the point that screenrant is garbage this is from the same writer Niell Gray

The guy who says Loki isn't complex puts him on the list of Marvel's best development characters and it's not like time passed and he changed his opinion these "articles" were written within the same month. It's so insincere and I question if there's any real opinion behind it at all or if they're just rehashing what they've heard other people said.

Loki Reddit is so annoying

You can't say ANYTHING that suggests you prefer his original characterisation without getting downvoted. I wasn't even being nasty (I really don't want to behave that way, so I don't) about the series, just mentioning that it has warped the perception casual fans have of the character.

I hate that even in the subreddit that is simply called "Loki" (so not even dedicated to just the series) you can't suggest the first Loki (2011-13/18) was better and your preferred era. It's driving me mad! I was responding to something clickbaity "10 Things no MCU fan will admit about Loki" which you can probably guess was full of nonsense as well. One of the points was "he didn't truly care about his family" which is an instant rage button for me...

For me I see the scepter/mind stone working as something that takes away a person’s restraints. They’ll start acting out in ways they never would have because they don’t have that voice in their head that tells them to stop. 

As a human being, I think all of us have bad thoughts, things we wish we didn’t think of, but we do for some reason or another. Pick your poison as to what. But actions are what really matters. And the thoughts we have are our own and only inform our actions.  Can you imagine if you’d lost the restraint to all your most inner thoughts? Yeah, I don’t think it would end up well for any of us.  That’s what I believe the scepter does, that’s what it showed when the Avengers were all gathered around it, and Loki was with the scepter for a whole year presumably. 

So I’d like people to come off it with the idea of Thanos and company only being partially responsible for the invasion. No, they were responsible for all of it and I dont really care how much anyone wants to blame Loki for the battle on NY. For me, he’s completely out of fault with that one. 

Loki was redeemed in TDW on his actions in Thor 1. Because yes, Loki is totally capable of villainous acts. -cough-so is Thor-cough- And I don’t think that should be erased or anything. He can be really spiteful and vengeful. But he is also capable of a lot of bravery and love. imo, that’s what makes him a person rather than a hero/villain and about the most compelling character in the mcu. The actions of Thor 1 is what Loki should learn to grow from, not the actions that are a result of being tortured and mentally manipulated.  When people blame Loki for having thoughts of being superior to Midgardians or wanting to be King of Midgard, what that tells me is that if y’all were given the most inner thoughts of the people around you, you would turn on them in an instant.  Because that’s the only difference between Thor and Loki. Loki is forced into making these dark thoughts a reality. Thor still maintains his control even though he does think he is superior. Thor is given the chance to do better, while Loki is vilified for his thoughts. Thor is never brought to his lowest point, Loki is.

I always assumed that Loki sent the Aether away because he didn't want the infinity stones anywhere near each other. From AoS it was shown Loki was active enough to have Lorelei apprehended. So yeah I think the idea original was that Loki was just going to protect Asgard from Thanos.

#i used to find it ironic that the most loving bit of parenting thor ever got from odin was when he was actually loki #but it actually makes perfect sense #bc this is how loki saw their relationship #did it have problems? #abso-heckin-lutely #but loki had an entirely different perspective #he was the scorned son for over a thousand years #watching enviously as odin treated thor like the golden prince #constantly fighting for even a scrap of the love he thought odin gave to his brother #so when it came down to faking a one-on-one interaction between the two #loki acted like a better dad than odin ever really was

Loki and Sigyn, by boomdafunk

As you know, I'm also a Polin fan (colinxpen on Bridgerton), and I got to admire the amazing @boomdafunk 's beautiful polin arts. The way she drew Pen was fantastic, so of course, since my Sigyn variant is based on Nicola Coughlan, I had to commission her for a Loki & Sigyn fan art.

So here are our two lovebirds, practising Seidr :3

Aren't they the best <3

Commission this amazing artist!!! :D She's brilliant ;)

One of the worst things about sites like screenrant is it tries to present itself as something legitimate when in reality it doesn't have any more insight or credentials then randos posting on tumblr and reddit.

On the surface, part of Loki’s story has always revolved around his desire to fit in and earn the love and respect of his family. It’s one of the central themes of Thor, and is mentioned again in The Avengers before being revisited in Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok. However, one aspect of Loki that’s too often ignored is that despite all his talk about family and acceptance, he seems to care very little about those who are supposedly important to him. After being indirectly responsible for his mother Frigga’s death, Loki does show some signs of grief. After his father’s death, however, Loki reacts very little, even when faced with the appearance of his long-lost sister. What’s more, Loki made multiple attempts to kill both Thor and Odin, and risked their lives multiple times through his schemes, making it seem as though he never cared about them as much as he asserted.

That is such a nonsense take that is just factual wrong by the end. Loki never tried to kill Odin at any point in the MCU, and he only really tried to kill Thor once. Even that being said Loki died for Thor. He was tearing up seeing him torture. That is part of their complicated relationship. There's deep love and loyalty and also a lot of resentment and anger. But the writer/Niall Gray says Loki doesn't love his family because he did bad things. Well, the same can be said about the rest of the family not loving Loki because they did bad things to him.

Screenrant has always had a bit of a dislike for Loki. All the article is a rant about not liking Loki and how his fans are wrong. Again, there's nothing that makes this more legitimate than someone post saying Loki is the best character.

Just says I love you like that makes it ok, but Odin leaves his sons damaged, he lied and now he leaves them with the consequences of his actions.

I wonder if Odin ever said I love you to Hela? Not when it was convenient but when it was hard, when she made a mistake, or she wasn't what he wanted.
