Cable is 100% a deadpool apologist like people keep telling him that deadpool has killed a ridiculous amount of people incredibly violently and he’s just like “yeah? what’s your point?”
Someone: he kills and tortures people on a daily basis, Nathan.
Cable: you don’t have all the facts.
Someone: which are?
Cable: I love him.
(Cable voice) so just because he has done bad things in the past, continues to do bad things currently and is definitely planning to continue to do bad things in the future he’s a “bad person” now?
As king, whilst pretending to be Odin, Loki did the following:
Pardoned Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three of their treason
Treated Thor as Loki himself had never been treated by their Father
Separated the two Infinity Stones in Asgardian protection, and gave one to another powerful being, for the sake of preventing both from being found at once or from making Asgard a higher priority target
Removed Asgardian troops from the rest of the Nine and kept them on Asgard, where the Space Stone was being kept and therefore where they were most needed, whilst also creating a time of peace for Asgard
Pushed Asgard toward entertainments (theatre) that aren’t violent
Rebranded himself as a hero rather than just allowing his identity as the Jotun Prince become all that would be remembered
And that’s just what was shown.
Agree with everything on this list. If only the franchise had framed it that way.
In a supposedly anticolonialist movie they managed to paint the withdrawal of troops from foreign, “less advanced” lands as something lazy and vile, only because Loki was doing it.
Fuck Waititi and his imagined progressive views, his entire brand of wokeness falls apart at the first breeze.
I love me some fictional tropes. Just keep shovelin’ them on, no matter how cliche they may be. And one of the best of the bunch? The Vegeta Effect, where an initial villain becomes that weird angry uncle of the family. Read on to see six of my all-time favebaddies gone good.
