Tom, I just needed to sort of “vent” and express my disappointment in one specific aspect of an otherwise great series, Migthy Thor: Loki.

This iteration of Loki had such a magnificent character arc since Gillen’s Young Avengers, and I’m actually pretty saddened by what has become of him in Mighty Thor.Ewing’s series finally had him come to terms to who he is, and the book ended in such a high note… only to have him (hopefully temporarily) return to his old ways in his very next appeance.

Not only that, but his entire character development was unceremoniously thrown out of the window in issue #3 with a “this is not actually what I wanted, I’m just fooling myself,” which also kinda undermines Ewing’s work, since apparently he didn’t even want to change from the bottom of his heart to begin with.

I guess in the end it’s kinda funny, after all, Ewing’s Loki: Agent of Asgard touched on the topic that people will always make a villain out of Loki for one simply reason, because he’s Loki. I guess that extended to real life, not only in-universe.

So this is what I wanted to say. Maybe you’re getting to this part having scoffed a bit because I am wrong and maybe next issue will have Loki saying “SIKE!” and teleporting back to Manhattan to watch TV with Verity (where’s that gal, btw?), after all, I do not know how this story will finish unfolding. But as of today, this is what I feel. Thanks for taking your time to read this.

Have a good one.
