Loki's Villainous Career So Far

Loki the God of Mischief

LOKI IN THOR 1

I must admit that I didn't really know much about Loki when I first saw him during the first Thor film, I thought that the story would be just like the usual, some Big Bad the Frost Giants and their leader Laufey will cause war then they will have to defeat it and tada end of story.Loki however really made it all so interesting, he really wasn't evil at the start, he's just a trickster. But after finding out about that he's actually a Frost Giant he moves on from being a Trickster into a Manipualtive Bastard and takes center stage as the true Big Bad of the film.

Loki's first act of villainy is to trick his vanished brother Thor that their father is already dead and its all because of him. Next he manipulated the Frost Giants and their king Laufey(his true father) that he will assist them in eliminating Odin in exchange for him being the sole King, but when Laufey finally manage to get close into killing Odin, surprise!Loki came and killed Laufey his own father in order to appears that he is Odin's saviour and that he chose Odin over his true family while he actually masterminded it all.

Getting rid of Laufey and Thor is already impressive but Loki's not done yet. Tthe Frost Giants themselves know that he's behind it all and is still Asgards enemy so Loki decides to kill two birds in one stone by killing of the entire race and this is the part where Thor came to stop him and unfortunately for Loki, Thor suceeded After realizing that he's father would never really approved of his method Loki decides to let himself fell into the abyss, so bye Loki nice meeting you......................then surprise Loki is alive and is actually controlling Dr Selvig in Earth and is therefore just getting started with his villainy.

REVIEW ON HIS VILLAINY

Before I talk about what he did in the Avengers, I must say Loki really surprised me in the first Thor film. first of all I haven't really even heard of him. so I was really surprised how much of an amazing villain he is, he's like the Scar(from Lion King) of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He's patient, treacherous, ruthless and intelligent, yet there is something about him that makes you feel sorry about him, I was actually cheering for Loki when he's finally trying to prove himself as the rightful king. Then after watching it I began searching for his character and I found that he's comic book character is somehow really different than his film version, its more powerfull and though I still like the film version, probably because of Tom Hiddleston's great acting, or probably because Loki in the film is a more complicated character in that he makes you feel that he is still redeemable despite all the evil things that he did.

Now let us move on to what he did in the Avengers.

LOKI IN THE AVENGERS

Loki eventually returns in the Avengers, as the main antagonists and more eviler than ever, this time however Loki is not alone and is backed by an allien army known as the Chituari, which he plans to use in order to take over Earth. But first he needs a powerful item known as the Tesseract in order to teleport them to Earth in order to start his war.

Loki starts his war with Earth by manipulating Dr. Selvig into opening a portal to Earth using the Tesseract which is S.H.I.E.L.D's hands. When Loki succesfully gets to Earth he immediately kills the S.H.I.E.L.D soldiers and mind controlling some of them with his new scepter. He then proceeds to take the Tesseract from Nick Fury and manages to get a way from the S.H.I.E.L.D  as he hatches he's next scheme for world domination.

Throughout the film it is revealed that Loki has a mysterious ally, known as The Other and his Master whom provided Loki with his army in the first place. After being threatened if he were to fail Loki becomes more determined than ever to see to it that he suceeds. he then proceeds to commence a fake attack and make himself be caught first by Iron Man and Captain America then by his own brother Thor after he return to Earth in order to bring Loki back, eventually they fight over him before finally stopping and decided to bring Loki to S.H.I.E.L.D as a prisoner. however it is revealed that Loki himself is the diversion and that his plan is to use the Hulk against them, Black Widow did figure this out though its already pretty much too late when s. Eventually Loki was freed by his own men and even manage to kill Agent Coulson before making his escape.

 Unfortunately Loki's actions led the Avengers to join together since they now all have common goal and decides to finally work together more efficiently in order to defeat the God of Mischief.
It all finally comes down to the Final showdown between The Avengers and Loki with his army as they stormed the city of New York. After a long battle Loki is finally beaten by the team, after being pummeled by the Hulk. He is then captured and returned to Asgard where he will pay for his crimes against humanity. Afterwards its is later revealed that Loki's mysterious other ally and Master of The Other as well as the Chituari army is actually Thanos who simply smiles after hearing Loki's defeat.

REVIEW ON HIS VILLAINY

Loki in the Avengers is far more crueler than in his in the first Thor film, seen as he is very well capable of killing people and enjoying it. He is also crazier, planning to take over Earth all for his own ego.In the first Thor film Loki acts like a traitorous prince while in the Avengers he acts like an exiled prince trying to have his own kingdom. Although Loki is an amazing villain in The Avengers there is something really different now, its like he's the real Bid Bad and is just a pawn in a much larger scheme. This all finally becomes clear with the appearance of Thanos, who is the true mastermind behind the invasion as he is the one who gave Loki his army, the scepter and his knowledge about the Tesseract. Yet despite it all Loki still has a chance to be the Big Bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, first he already had a more personal impact with the Avengers, second he appears to have no intention at all in being loyal to Thanos, third Loki is still alive at the end of the film and could still be threat in the future.

LOKI IN THOR THE DARK WORLD

Loki immediately becomes a prisoner at the beginning of the film, the films explored more of Loki's relationship with his family. His continuous envy and hatred for Thor, he's admiration and hatred for his father and finally it showed that he still have person whom he might have loved and trusted, his adoptive mother  Frigga. It shows Loki does still love his mother and she still loves him back, as a matter of fact Frigga was the reason why Loki was just imprisoned and wasn't executed despite his crimes. Frigga even makes sure that Loki's prison is comfortable and brings him books to read. When Loki claims that Odin is not his father, Frigga asks if she is also not his mother and Loki answered her with a "no", though it seems that the real answer is "Yes you are my mother".

Things started going wrong when Malekith and his Dark Elves started invading Asgard in order to get the Aether(which is inside Jane Foster, whom Thor brought in Asgard). The invasion didn't end well for Asgard and for Loki, because Asgard was left destroyed and Frigga, the only person who could've change Loki was killed. After hearing the news of Frigga's death, Loki is clearly in rage. So when Thor offered him the chance for revenge Loki gladly accepts.

After finally escaping Asgard along with Thor and Jane Foster, with the help of the Warriors Three. Loki and Thor begins their confrontation with Malekith. With Thor and Loki succesfully managing to deceive Malekith and take the Aether away from Jane Foster, though, failing in destroying the Aether and preventing Malekith from obtaining it. Loki and Thor then begins to face Malekith's forces with Loki suceeding in killing some of Malekith men, and Thor being cornered by Algrim.

Unfortunately for Thor, Algrim now being a Kurse is too much for him. Loki manage to save Thor by stabbing Algrim at the back. But Algrim then pushed Loki towards him, stabbing him, Loki gets the last laugh before dying by revealing that he actually implanted a bomb behind Algrim killing him before finally dying in Thor's arms.

Although as always with Loki, things are not always what they seems to be. After Malekith's defeat Thor tells Odin that he no longer wish to inherit the throne but rather wants to protect the Earth, Odin then agreed and allows Thor to leave Asgard. After Thor said "Thank you, Father", he then finally leaves Asgard. As Thor leaves, Odin starts laughing and says "No, Thank you" before finally revealing that he is actually Loki and not Odin, finally obtaining the throne that he long desires.

REVIEW ON HIS VILLAINY

Well at first, it seems that Loki somehow finally softens up in this film, due to his affections with his mother Frigga. He also has a less villainous role being more like an Anti-Hero rather than being a villain. He not only helps Thor defeat Malekith but even saved his life and actually kept his word that he won't betray him as well as somehow proved that Thor can trust him by finally sacrificing himself in order to save Thor.

Or at least that's what he wants others to believe, my goodness, he just doesn't stop. In the end Loki proves that he's still a hardcore manipulative villain and is not done yet by showing he now has the throne of Asgard, and seems to have done something with Odin or maybe even killed him. and now he seems to be much more dangerous than ever, now that the only person who could've change him, Frigga, is dead. Loki is far from done with his schemes.
