"loki is an extraordinary character"

• he's just a lost soul
• he's raw. he's pure emotion
• his heart is broken
• he's tragic and misguided
• he's self-possessed and he's come with a mission
• he's arrogant and he's a psychopathic
• he really is the black sheep of the family
• he's evil and he's awful and a villain but he's human, ultimately
• he is so many things
  • he's a shape-shifter
  • he's a prankster
  • he's an agent of chaos
  • he's a damaged, jealous, younger brother who feels betrayed and left out in the cold
  • he is that monster cackling on the rooftop
• but he's also
  • vulnerable
  • sensitive
  • thin-skinned
  • and alone
• he's crazy. but his craziness comes from a kind of emotional heartbreak
• he has a glimmer of redemption somewhere at the heart of him
• he feels cheated and betrayed by his brother, by the world
• he's striving for identity, somehow a way of defining himself
• he's really lost
• he wants a place to call home
• he wants to belong
• he was brought up with the expectation that he was a king, he was born to rule
• he's trying to refush in the earth into his own personal kingdom, in order to fulfill that sense of entitlement
• what he really wants is self-respect.

-

• his mischievous side appeals to me, because there is something quite charming about it
• (on thor) they still have a history. and into loki's mind, that history is very much in the past
• emotional heartache, destructive rage, jealousy, ambition, arrogance, tirany, psychological damage
