After <i>the Avengers<\/i> he blew up in the fandom and Tom Hiddleston (the cool guy he is) did a lot of roleplay as Loki. I\u2019m fine with all this. It\u2019s pretty awesome when an actor loves his fans and his role so much. What I have a problem with is the fandom loving Loki almost even more than the protagonists so much so that they tout \u201c#LokisArmy\u201d and memes professing their adoration for such a despicable villain.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"550\" data-original-width=\"550\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/7e3c40dbad51151feabdd3ea843662b2.jpg?resize=320%2C320\" width=\"320\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p><!-- more --><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"370\" data-original-width=\"492\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/0fa421132910db3e99a91a6e2932cf93.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" width=\"640\" \/><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">No, I wouldn&#8217;t.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"550\" data-original-width=\"413\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1c7f2c60233f19da7cb7a5112ae149ad.jpg?resize=300%2C400\" width=\"300\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"721\" data-original-width=\"564\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/4132a6e742fc6cefa667fee7b8ab2701.jpg?resize=311%2C400\" width=\"311\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">The fandom seems to forget how Loki has threatened, tortured, and killed mass amounts of people even his own father and brother. He violently extracted the eyeball out of an innocent art dealer, he unleashed the chitari upon New York killing and injuring hundreds even thousands, he usurped his father\u2019s throne, he\u2019s brainwashed multiple people, and betrayed Thor and others countless times to the points it\u2019s a joke, among other war crimes. These are not the traits of someone who should be admired. If Loki wasn\u2019t as outwardly attractive and gave so many one-liners, I don\u2019t think he would get all of the attention he does. It\u2019s the same reason why I don\u2019t like all of the admiration that the Joker and Harley Quinn get. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with enjoying a good villain but to want to emulate them more than the protagonists just doesn\u2019t sit right with me.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"141\" data-original-width=\"250\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Loki-germany-eye-claw-avengers.jpg?resize=320%2C180\" width=\"320\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"266\" data-original-width=\"474\" height=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/th2B252812529.jpg?resize=640%2C358\" width=\"640\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"255\" data-original-width=\"474\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/th2B252822529.jpg?resize=640%2C344\" width=\"640\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"257\" data-original-width=\"500\" height=\"205\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/tumblr_m3s96zwfvg1qksxvso1_500.gif?resize=400%2C205\" width=\"400\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">But Loki turned good in the end! &#8211;<\/span>&nbsp;Yes, in <i>Thor: Ragnarok<\/i>, Loki finally shows some traits of an antihero and goes out in a sacrificial fashion in <i>Infinity War <\/i>but up until the end, Thor still believes that Loki will betray him because of how many times his brother has hurt him.

Zuko is a villain at first but he\u2019s completely repentant when he changes side. Loki is never ever repentant. He never apologizes to Thor for all he\u2019s done and is sincere about changing his ways. If Loki ever did become repentant I would love to see that character arc but so far he hasn\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">You could say &#8220;Oh he&#8217;s a poor abused baby who&#8217;s daddy was mean to him.

Cap was bullied throughout childhood and he never even dreamed of turning evil. Jenny in <i>Forest Gump <\/i>went through extreme sexual abuse but didn&#8217;t become a sexual abuser to her son.

I\u2019m a part of so many fandoms, but I do know the dangers of fandoms and how they can distort a writer\u2019s intentions for their fantasies (Such as shipping Riku and Sora two completely platonic characters in <i>Kingdom Hearts<\/i> or shipping Levi and Eren who have absolutely zero romantic chemistry whatsoever in <i>Attack on Titan<\/i>.).<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Conclusion &#8211;<\/span> I\u2019ve had this on my chest for so long but I\u2019ve been afraid to say anything in fear of hardcore Loki fans coming down on me (which they may still), but I feel like this is important to point out. Characters who are good, just, and care about the wellbeing of others should be exalted not cruel, nefarious, and murderous villains. There are so many great role models in Marvel such as Steve Rogers, T\u2019Challa, Thor, Peggy Carter, and so on. They deserve a hundredfold more love than Loki ever has.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"475\" data-original-width=\"474\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/th.jpg?resize=398%2C400\" width=\"398\" \/><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"font-size: 12.8px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">This man was the star of that scene and if you recall Loki was going to kill him before Cap stepped in.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;\"><b>Agree or disagree?
