₊ ♡ hello, my dears!! yet another nerdy marvel post!! this one ought to be fun ;) today i am doing my marvel hot takes! some of them you may have heard and some of them you may not, but i am totally open to discussion on any!! all right, without further adeu, here they are! ♡ ☁️ t͟a͟k͟e͟ 01 ‿ frigga was not a very good mum ☁️ okay, before you get defensive, hear me out on this. frigga was just as aware of loki's being adopted as odin. she had every reason to tell him. odin did, too, but he didn't know loki like frigga did. in addition, frigga was clearly a lot more emotionally intelligent and empathetic than odin was. she must have known that hiding loki's identity from him would have been harmful to him, yet she did it anyway. regardless of whether or not odin wanted her to, i think she should have told loki. i love frigga, though!! it's just that with loki's identity, she could have made a better choice than that. ☁️ t͟a͟k͟e͟ 02 ‿ steve was a bad friend to bucky ☁️ i think you can agree with me here! he may have been very forgiving, and he saw what other's didn't, but at the end of the day he left bucky. bucky needed a friend. he and all of the avengers had gone through so much. but steve chose himself and his 'true love' who he had known a tiny fraction of the time he'd known bucky over all of that. steve is my favourite avenger, but that was wrong! ☁️ t͟a͟k͟e͟ 03 ‿ loki's sudden heart change didn't make much sense ☁️ i LOVE loki. he's my favourite character, and his show is my favourite marvel production. however, i am having trouble figuring out why he suddenly became so humble, selfless and concerned for the sacred timeline. he had come into the tva being prideful, insecure, and very self-centered, yet after meeting he who remains he suddenly became very unconcerned with taking down the tva and more concerned with helping it be what it needs to be. now i must say, THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! out of anything i've watched or read, loki tops them all!! but i just need his heart change explained to me, i think!! ☁️ t͟a͟k͟e͟ 04 ‿ sylki gets far too much hate ☁️ i'll be honest. sylki is my favourite marvel ship. but SO many people cannot seem to see why!! this is completely fine, and i am not saying that it's wrong of them. i understand their arguments. but they're sort of surface-level. if you really observe the characters of loki and sylvie, they are two different people. yes, they may be variants, but they are not the 'same person.' they have different stories, different personalities, different desires and dislikes and aspirations and everything! and another thing- loki's love for sylvie is not narcissism. i think it's the opposite, really. he found an equal. he found someone who understood him. it was really quite humble of him to, instead of trying to compete with her to surpass her and dislodge himself from that 'equal' state, he instead gave in and cared about her- really cared about her- and SHOWED the way he cared for her. i think it's really sweet, and i wish it could have gone on a bit longer!! love would have been really good for loki. if anybody mentions lokius i am throwing hands. just kidding <33 love you!!
