Epilogue To The Scavengers

Loki is known as the trickster god of Norse mythology and is even said to be one of the first anti-heroes. He is also probably one of the most well-known tricksters as well. In the Norse myths, he is often portrayed as being very mischievous and is always causing trouble for the gods. In fact, “he was so outrageously mischievous that he even sneaked his way into becoming a god” (Allen, and Saunders, par. 1). However, even though he almost always seems to be getting the gods into some kind of trouble, he also helps them at times in an attempt to get them out of their predicaments…even if those predicaments are his own fault to begin with.

Thor has many personal issues he needs to resolve and overcome, but his heart is not one of those. He certainly does not lack heart in the film. He shows so many instances of heart and laying it all out on the line for himself and his friends. However, he is very hard-headed and prideful which he lets get the best of him sometimes. Those two reasons are exactly why he was banished from his homeland Asgard by his father Odin. In the beginning of the film, thor is being formally recognized as the crown prince of Asgard, as he was the next to be the king of Asgard when his father passed away, which his brother Loki did not like one bit. As the ceremony is going on, thor and all

Aegeus, filled with a destructive rage, and cried, “Now you have provoked my rage.” Aegeus reached for his weapon – he had to dig through the blankets that had been strewn about the

Before digging into his misdeeds, noting Loki’s pure benevolence is essential. Atop a mountain, the gods built the city Asgard, “a great City… that the Giants could never overthrow” (Colum 6). As they built their great city, the gods were approached by a giant. Although the giant could not help build the halls or palaces of Asgard, “[he could] build great walls that [could] never be overthrown” (7), and so the gods took the giant’s offer. Of course, however, this favor would not be performed without reward. Odin, the Father of the Gods, asks the giant what payment he desires, believing

The giant was smart though and brought his trusty steed, Svadilfari, to help him hull the boulders to the construction site (Allen, Saunders, “LOKI”). Freya became anxious and Odin even threatened to put Loki to death if they were caught in the unpleasant deal. In an attempt to save his hide Loki took the form of a pretty mare and lured Svadilfari away from his work. Loki kept the horse away until the time had passed for the work to be finished (Lindeman). In his mare form Loki became pregnant and gave birth to an eight-legged foal which was named Sleipnir. Loki presented him as a gift to Odin and regained good favor with the kind of the gods and his son, Thor (Allen, Saunders, “LOKI”).

Loki, the God of chaos, is known as the “doer of good and the doer of evil.” He, like Cartman, is always looking for a way to cause havoc. Whether they intended to or not, they never pass up the opportunity. In the chapter “Thor and Loki in the Giant’s City,” Loki is seen telling multiple tales about his adventures with Thor at the feast, and is sure to highlight the things that make Thor look bad. For instance, his strength was no match to the dwellers if Jötunheim, and when he had to dress as a bride to retrieve his hammer, Mjölnir.

The waiter approached. Loki had, as he often did when he and the Avengers ventured out in public, cast an illusion so that they wouldn’t be recognized, but the restaurant was expensive enough that their server acted as if he knew they were a superhero and a prince.

Loki has a very different perception of him by the people who worshiped Paganism. Loki has also been used to personify different events that have happened in the Pagan religion. This insight on how Loki, as well as other Gods, relayed messages and lessons for the people of the Pagan religion is very interesting and intriguing. In the Nordic Religions in the Viking Age book written by Thomas A. Dubois he talked about this in detail. A detail about Loki’s presence in Pagan religion he explained stood out to me, it went as followed “This approach became particularly pronounced in Christianity, distinguishing the Christian devil from the more ambiguous demons of pagan tradition, the trickster/demon Loki, for example, the ill-willed but occasionally marriageable giant

Odin his child, Sleipnir and gives Thor an enemy, the Midgard Serpent (39, 52). The gods’ distrust of Loki prevents them from seeing Loki’s contributions to society. Baldr does not give any gifts, yet he receives Frigg’s protection (65). Loki could be reacting out of envy when he kills Baldr. Frigg works to give Baldr invincibility because of his dream of his murder (65).

Have you ever been jealous of your sibling? So has Thor, but not in the way you’d expect it. Thor is portrayed as a muscular, blonde warrior with powers given to him through his hammer. When Thor challenges his brother to the throne of god Odin, Thor's father, cast Thor down to live on earth without powers. His brother, who took the throne and was planning to plot revenge, must be defeated causing Thor to save the world and find a love interest along the way. Throughout the story, illustrated by different genres, the mythological god Thor is introduced to the readers through exciting adventures, thrills, and suspense in his lifetime of protecting humanity.

"No Loki," I felt the tears welling up in my eyes. I couldn't do it anymore, I couldn't live like this. I can't live with Thor knowing the monster I have become. The monster I have always been.

Loki starred helplessly at Sif's intoxicating beauty, and then shook his head to clear his thoughts. He grabbed the shears from Sif's workbox and chopped off every strand of the goddess's shining locks. Loki stood in a deep carpet of shimmering hairs. He ran his fingers over the prickly tufts on the goddess's head;

The golden armor shows his almighty power of the guardian that keep safe of Asgard, preventing any threats from entering from other plantets. Unlike any other characters, one can tell that Heimdall’s costumes has the greatest protection among all. Furthermore, Thor who's costume shows he’s power among he’s friends and brother. Being as the only character with a red cape, this shows he’s class is higher than any others. Moreover, the viewers can tell from his armor he is a warrior, who is fearless. Because comparing to Loki's costume, he isn’t wearing any armor that can protect him. This means Loki is more likely to be a character who uses his brain and tongue more than waving a sword. However, in this scene we can tell from both of his acting and his costume, Loki fails to do

Loki is the embodiment of, “Of course it was Loki. It 's always Loki.” Loki is unquestionably the biggest question mark within Norse mythology. He is portrayed as a scheming, mischievous deity who has no real loyalties, his role is shrouded in mystery; what was his purpose in the ancient stories. Loki’s character arises questions about his role; was he a plot device, a foil for the Aesir, or maybe he was meant to be used as a warning to child? Within the pantheon of Norse gods, he was an anomaly; his fellow gods are mostly one dimensional and Loki is anything but. Loki is the antithesis to the culture the Norse gods represented; honor, courage, fidelity, truth, discipline, hospitality, industriousness, self reliance, perseverance. Loki is

Odin found Loki in place of Frost Giants. Growing up, Loki always felt like he was living in Thor's shadow and was envious to him for being the future king. Loki's jealousy kept growing, and he was eager to prove himself to Odin to win his appreciation. His innocent mischief turned into more complicated plans and he started manipulating people. Loki became ambitious, and was willing to go to great lenghts to achieve greatness.
