Are you part of Loki’s Resistance and don’t know it yet?

Basically, this as-yet-tentatively named subset of the Loki fandom or “Loki’s Army” consists of anyone who finds themselves agreeing with one or more of the following points:

  • Loki’s crimes are not so much worse than those of his brother or father, as regarded as worse because Loki did it;
  • Both the universe and the meta (writers etc.) are showing blatant favoritism with Loki’s “punishment” compared to similar crimes committed by others;
  • The punishment in question (a literal lifetime thousands of years long spent in solitary confinement, furniture and books considered “luxuries”) is inhumane by ANY standards, beyond even what we do here, and undeserved even if one does take the position that Loki’s a total monster;
  • Loki has some legitimate points, and legitimate reasons for being upset, that even his family don’t seem to accept – again, probably because of who they come from;
  • What Loki needs is rehabilitation, not punishment, OR at least should be offered both instead of being given absolutely zero hope of ever seeing the sky again;
  • Loki at least deserves a GODDAMN TRIAL in universe;
  • Loki has been abused meta-wise by writers and directors who have ignored his previous characterization entirely to conform him to a role he is utterly wasted on;
  • Thor has been abused meta-wise by writers and directors who think it’s time for “something new and fresh” and are willing therefore to scrap one of his most enduring and iconic character traits (not giving up on his brother); OR…
  • Odin is a dick and has no business sentencing anyone, anywhere, ever, having eluded justice for so long himself.

Note that I said “one or more’; you don’t have to agree with all of these points to be one of Loki’s advocates. But if you do agree with any of these, or have had some of these thoughts yourself, and ESPECIALLY if you agree but have been afraid to say so, thinking it makes you an apologist and/or that people will consider you one of those silly, wimpy fangirls who just “doesn’t understand” the character… then honey, welcome to the Resistance.
