Norse Mythology - The Tale Of Loki

[@Kikilang60]

Loki story is one of revenge, and injustice. We like to think the Asgard gods a good, but they were just seeking power, and how to keep it. They cared not for whom they hurt, or killed. Loki story is just one of those didn't take abuse well.

[@davidmcnicoll7473]

Super saiyan rosè Goku black what? if you mean Atreus isn't Loki then look at the prophecy, when you see the pic where Atreus is cradling Kratos while he's dying, you can see a snake like thing coming out of his mouth, I believe that is the world serpent, then again he could be calling the serpent for help, but the world serpent speaks a dead tongue so I believe that he's giving birth to the world serpent

[@grimmjowjaegerjaquez6322]

Enquisitor Red I'm saying he is loki

[@VashWolfwood1]

"Let Hel keep what she has" In other versions, the teller was not sure if it was Loki or not. I like this idea of 2 different paths. on one hand, if It was Loki, Servant: "Dude, you sure about that?" L: "They think they're so high and mighty, all they have to do is say 'do you know who we are' and poof! They get what they want. Well it's about time they see they can't always get their way." Servant: "......You know they're gonna kick the crap outta you, right?" Loki: "Oh, they've forgiven me for worse........ (Several hours later) ......I WAS WRONG!!!!!" Or it could have just been the Giantess hated Loki and knew he would get punished.

[@Lupinemancer87]

Loki is essencially the God version of every mischievous child. Not really thinking things through! :D

[@xXdwebbXx]

But thinking them all through at the same time

[@christal2641]

Loki IS a Trickster, but not merely a mischieveous child. According to the Eddas, Loki causes much of his damage by encouraging the God's to use his wiles to cheat. We'll never know what the myths were before Christians interpreted them for missionary purposes. I find it curious that HERMOD goes to underworld to retrieve Balder, because Hermes is the psychopompos who retrieves Persephone from the Greek underworld.

[@60sspider-man29]

Loki is like Tom from Tom and Jerry. You think he's evil but when you look at it again he really is just a victim.

[@DredCthulhu]

You know its gonna be a fire ass video when it starts out with Vindsvept

[@crashkojote5627]

Comparing it to God of War, there are quite a lot of differences. After all, a being that eradicates every greek god there is, would stir up quite a lot of trouble in the universe, even far before they even exist.

[@catastrophucked]

Loki, a betrayer? According to this video he seemed monstrously justified in everything he did. You cannot betray a person if they have done nothing but inflict pain and suffering them throughout their entire life. I'm glad a lot of this stuff gets referenced and laid out pretty plainly by Mimir in God of War, and it really shows that the writers weren't just pulling things out of their ass, but actually did very thorough research.

[@Cool_Adam]

catastrophucked He did kill Baldur for fun...Thats pretty accountable.

[@lkcdarzadix6216]

Loki killing baldur, shave sif hair, stole some cursed gold and gave it someone, also pushing the button of gods. loki lead a hard life but doesn't change all the shitty things he did. also the god of war loki is different because of his father is kratos not Farbauti.

[@triziamae16]

@@lkcdarzadix6216 Kratos is also called Farbauti by the giants. Farbauti actually means 'dangerous striker'. Atreus' mother is called Faye which is actually Laufey.

[@val3313]

I completely agree with you since the beginning of the mythology as we know it Loki was labeled the problem child and all responsibility always was placed on him. He was put into the role so he adapted to it. The Aesir never treated him fairly since he was part Jotun and the Aesir are canonically racist showing how they treated the Vanir. To the fact that they were concerned for their youth with Idunn's fruit and seemingly less for Idunn's health and wellbeing because she is Vanir and not Aesir
