[@ishanafondekar6334]

Loki's weakness in the comics is water, when he gets wet he can't do any magic. I'm just imagining Thor casually pushing a screaming Loki into a pool.

[@Whateveridksomething]

I would've loved to see that in the MCU 😂😂

[@thunderking8925]

Makes sense since water melts ice

[@mechmaster315]

That’s just silver age nonsense

[@jonathanwalker4937]

Pulling off your brothers head keeping it alive with magic and strapping it to your belt is as mythological as it gets

[@Ota_ku69]

This actually also happened in the new god of war.

[@raum6803]

Reminds me of God of War

[@lokiragnarok1881]

Loki actually survived being headless once before, alot of ppl dont realize how powerful he was in the original comics.Classic Loki and Classic Strange were powerful as hell. He fought the Silver Surfer, defeated Beta Ray Bill who wasnt as good at seeing through his illusions as Thor was and even controlled Thor once. Depending on who was writing him too he could even trade blows with Thor but Thor always won that confrontation naturally.

[@jagspringerikorridorerna2349]

Whats your favourit charachter?

[@king_supreme1102]

I love Loki so much in the MCU. I hope he gets a show on Disney’s streaming network.

[@elijahwatson3474]

They confirmed that.

[@danicabrewer1804]

He is! Yay

[@alishajones8113]

this aged well

[@ivankarim8678]

"Ladies and Gentlemen..YOUR SAVIOR IS HERE!!"

[@sicksadsam]

I'm just disappointed that the MCU doesn't use the full range of his abilities or even try to show how powerful he is.

[@Wrathnicangel104]

Sam H Unfortunately the Vampires including Blade from the Blade movies went through this power nerf thing as well, and became barely considered supernatural at all compared to the comics version. In the comics they had Classic vampire weaknesses like religious objects can repell vampires but you have to have the same faith to make it work but in the movies they dont do jack squat.

[@vladtheimpaler9577]

It's wierd how everyone knows very well Loki is the prince of lies and a deal with him always gives you the shorter end of the stick, but they still fall for his schemes and are persuaded somehow to work with him.

[@Sienisota]

I think that is his power. And in later comics, his curse; When he lies, people will believe him, despite knowing he is a god of lies. But when there are few times that he tries to speak the truth, (and the truth was important to Loki) no one believes him. The exception was in spiderman comics; when Loki and spiderman teamed up for one time. Loki spoke honestly and spiderman believed him. Loki granted a favour to spiderman, because spiderman helped him.

I love Loki more than Thor

[@AKennerson]

That Vote Loki cover was ridiculous with him keeping the horns on.

[@mujtabaellari2597]

I loved All Ewing's agent of Asgard, it had an awesome twist at the end. It's a shame that Marvel never adressed anything of what happened in that comic ever again.

[@acaptainwithoutaship5192]

Only OGs remember History of Loki FINAL no sponsor XD

[@thebrightest-xc7to]

yee i saw that too and i was confused

[@BrickMaster122]

ACaptainWithoutAShip under appreciated comment

[@f.o.bdavauney1081]

Thought I was the only one 😂

[@greyworld6242]

I like the movie version of Loki more. You should do a history of hela.

[@knytewing3107]

me too

[@MachineFuckingHate]

The movie version of Loki is a weak villain in every sense of the word. He's not threatening or respected. The comic book Loki was the personification of evil. And I miss those days when he was drawn as a masculine evil guy with an average looking face, instead of that pretty boy they portray in comics now, mostly due to Hiddleston's popularity.

[@lokiragnarok1881]

what but hes so weak

[@LarryBonson]

Comic version is better.

[@DarthBalsamic]

@@MachineFuckingHate Same for me.

[@perfj]

You should have mentioned that 'classic' Evil Loki, Kid Loki, and Teen Loki are all different 'person'. And since the last Secret Wars, Loki is no longer God of Mischief/Lies but God of Stories.

[@frydfish4934]

7:55 btw that was actually a reincarnation of Loki, a new kid with his appearance and temperament, who then was overwritten by the old Loki and then he magically had his body aged up

[@emanuelrojas2]

Maybe Loki was jealous of Thor's sick locks of hair! I mean, look at his hair 2:33

[@dylanbrazil6591]

Amazing how this got recommended to me on the day of Loki’s tv show release

[@KobyMathews]

In Norse mythology Loki is not evil, he just likes mischief and pranks, there are a few occasions where he does evil like causing Ragnarok but Thor and Loki are quite close and go on many adventures together

[@barrybend7189]

Well loki is known to be a shapeshifter even in Norse mythology.

[@andrewsd.r.7180]

@F.B.I - Federal Bureau of Investigation As another comment said, he got pregnant and gave birth to Slepnir, so yeah

[@andrewsd.r.7180]

@F.B.I - Federal Bureau of Investigation but he did become a female 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lokigamerofmischief171]

@F.B.I - Federal Bureau of Investigation owned the dimwit

[@lencol583]

I can't thank you enough, I'm new to comics and was really lost on where to start, but your History of episodes really helped me to find good starting points for comics.

[@unknownperson-rq1nf]

You know I want to see one comic book just exploring the possibility of loki acualy getting along with thor thought his life not constantly resenting him.

[@ianmpena]

Can you make a history about Mr negative and owlman

[@nielsenzerink5092]

History of Dr. Doom?

[@darksaberz7930]

That Would Be Cool!

[@goblintributemaker2539]

Doom demands a video

[@Cyclopsblast]

It took a Halloween like no other for Variant to do the history of Loki? Wow

[@petejohnes8442]

I want Loki to shape shift to anything he wants in A4. Hey *MARVEL* , make him indestructibly awesome...😍

[@frankw1138]

Comprehensive "History of...." episode...love it! Bring more awesome content Arris!

[@nadiajupiter8340]

Young Averages is such a good comic book series I want a live action tv series of it soon

[@a-cvs1403]

In your reading recommendations you missed kidLoki's Journey into Mystery. A Comedy in 30 issues, a Tragedy in 31. As to this day it's the only comic I ever had a freak out "holy shit, holy shit, what happened, nonononono" for several hours. That one is emotionally a very interesting one

[@veniceangelidelacruz2988]

I've been stanning MCU loki and Kid Loki a lot, and if Marvel doesn't put Kid Loki as Serrure or Leah or Thori or have Hela make an appearance, I'm gonna cry

[@dudeanything2951]

Lmao he got 3 spider and turned them big with his powers! Ha classic, I can imagine Loki doing that

[@TheFLAMEXD]

Before anyone complains about Loki being bisexual/changing his gender, that is actually canon to his original mythological counterpart. Hell, he got pregnant and gave birth to Slepnir!

[@carmillakarnstein8109]

Exactly! They're just being accurate.

[@johngrimes5852]

Don't you fools know it's only ok to have heterosexual male characters in comics? These dude-bros don't want their masculinity affronted as they watch muscle men in tights.

[@TheFLAMEXD]

Dr.feelalright Yes

[@lokiragnarok1881]

@Dr.feelalright Thats actually weird in comics, so in comics Loki is hela father and not her father what Hela doesnt tell Loki is that her real father was the previous incarnation of Loki who we never meet in comics. Because Hela and Odin always remember what happens after Ragnarok but the rest of the Asgardians do not.

[@TheFLAMEXD]

Loki Ragnarok Huh?

[@rodzilla1869]

Please do SANDMAN and grendal/grendal prime

[@barrybend7189]

History of Alita from Battle Angel Alita please.

[@PetarNNenkovski]

Thank you for this. It looks interesting and is very informative!

[@michealjustus6798]

Your videos always make my day better ❤🔥

[@heavymetalcroissant]

Who is better Loki or Thor?

[@channelrob6927]

Loki is bulletproof, too.

[@cardshuffler1247]

There's a villains month !? Neat !.

[@rodzilla1869]

AWSUM as always. Grendal would have been a great villain to cover. SANDMAN would be a great comic period. I'm from Abingdon VA. The home of Charles vess. The artists for sandman 50 and 75. Great guys so laid back his studio is so cool.

[@andsonrebello2018]

In Seige he sacrificed himself, not "got killed"! This video really undermines Loki

[@bunyan4.20]

i have that Vote Loki number 1 pic on my refrigerator right now i love it how if you look at Believe Lie is highlighted in the word

[@jacketmannmarvin5186]

He also gave The Wrecking Crew Their Powers.
