For "The Softer Side of Loki" Contest being held by

As any of you that read my webcomic know, I love bittersweet moments...and complicated family dynamics.

One of the things that really hooked me in Avengers was Loki's constant struggle with "Sentiment" - like it's a disease he's trying to cure himself of, but can't quite let go. Like a moth to the flame, always drawn in, but time and again he turns away.

The quote by Thor about smoke and escape references a line in one of the deleted scenes from the Thor films. I thought it would be fun to incorporate a nod to the movie. Hope you enjoy it!

Not too sad... I'll just say there's a reason I sympathize with Loki a lot.

Me too. I actually wrote an article on why Loki's character has such emotional appeal. You might enjoy that, and can find it here: [link]

BAWWWWW. I always get really sad when I read about Thor and Loki. I love Thor. He's such a sweetheart.

RobinRone In reply to SkysongMA [2012-07-20 15:42:35 +0000 UTC]

Thor makes me think of a giant golden retriever. A little slow sometimes, and sometimes unintentionally a pain in the butt, but goodness gracious is he full of boundless love!

Yep. He and Captain America can be almost-no-cynicism bros.

RobinRone In reply to SkysongMA [2012-07-20 17:20:56 +0000 UTC]

Interestingly enough, the actor who plays Cap views his character as one of the most cynical of the group. Which I find a very interesting perspective.

SkysongMA In reply to RobinRone [2012-07-20 17:31:40 +0000 UTC]

I suppose we haven't seen much of post-WWII Cap, so maybe II will show off that cynicism. (Although certainly he's nowhere near as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as Thor.)

Also, while we're on the subject... [link]

I just want to give him the mother of all hugs.

Somehow I doubt he'd appreciate it, though.

DyanaRoseJill [2012-07-16 23:40:29 +0000 UTC]

His expression in the last panel is great. And sad.
It's a nice fade out too, from the scene in Asgard to the scene where Loki is... wherever he is there.

RobinRone In reply to DyanaRoseJill [2012-07-19 19:45:24 +0000 UTC]

I really wanted to contrast the two scenes visually with warm and cool colors. Also to use the blues to hint at Loki's Frost Giant heritage. I'm glad you enjoyed the result!

RobinRone In reply to BanditRingtail3 [2012-07-16 03:21:20 +0000 UTC]

I have the same sort of feelings. Doesn't make his actions acceptable, but that also doesn't change the fact that the character is tragic.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

BanditRingtail3 In reply to RobinRone [2012-07-17 21:52:19 +0000 UTC]

Agreed. And sometimes, the most tragic characters are villains because they just became too blind to their options.

Let Loki be a lesson to us all: obsess too much on what don't have, and you might lose everything.
