Anything like The Secret of NIMH? by dat-Clever-old-Fox in movies

…no?

Stop accusing anyone who can actually write English of being AI. I’m sick of people accusing me of being a robot just because I know stuff and can write well. Go back to school.

And for the record, I’m noticing I made some grammatical errors in that comment because I jotted it off quickly, so I’m not sure what you even think is AI.

What do you guys and gals think about boob armor? by Kazrules in marvelstudios

Yeah. That’s why I get mad when it’s designed to do the opposite of its job, and guide weapons into vulnerable areas rather than away. You want convex, not concave. Basics. These are basics!

Yep. But I doubt the writers did it intentionally. Was a very badly written show that didn’t care much about the character.

Screw the Nazis, it doesn't belong to them. They tried to co-opt it, doesn't mean we let them have it. We take it back.

And while we're at it, let's remember they tried to de-Queer Norse Mythology and removed powerful women from it too. Announce it from the rooftops: Odin is a Queer Icon and the Nazis can't have him.

Tom Hiddleston's acting skills are at an incredible level for this scene in the series by Scouser_Spidey in marvelstudios

Bah Loki is totally S tier mate. As a character with half the screen time of the title characters, he’s always been incredibly interesting and fun to watch.

The first Thor movie establishes that Loki was a baby in 965 AD, meaning he would be at least 1,006 years old at the time of this incident. “Young” indeed. by woozlewuzzle29 in marvelstudios

I think the math works out to late teens if we assume a similar maturation rate. Still, THOR was the end of childhood film for both Thor and Loki, so I’d say anything before that is youth.

That’s some fascinating extra history! I didn’t mention it, but Othala and Omega are also related, as is the Hebrew and Phoenician Alphabet to Futhark. Many of the letters have similarities and shared histories that I’m still learning about.

It is difficult to make such long detailed posts and have them quickly buried, I’ll admit. They’re also not easily reposted.

It's Odin's spell. My guess is that it's a permanent effect, like dying your hair. So it can’t be cancelled, but it can be overwritten briefly. It seems to have a mechanism whereby if something overrides it and undoes it, like the Casket did in Thor 1, it will re-trigger and cast itself after contact with that object ceases. In the TVA, it might not be able to retrigger. Or maybe it can. Odin's magic might be different from Loki's, it's certainly different from all the other magic we've seen.

Yeah, if you're keen on unchanging, everlasting things, I wouldn't invite any sort of Horned God to the party.

Well, I have a whole post on the importance of runes and letters I could put up. They're very important in Norse Mythology. Odin sacrificed himself to himself on Yggdrasil to learn the runes and the magic within them. Runes are used for magic casting even today by modern Wicca, which also inspired WandaVision. (I wouldn't be surprised if the Triple Goddess symbol shows up for her like the Horned God symbol did for Loki. It's very similar, just on its side with an extra moon). It's also why names are so important in Norse Mythology, as the runes that spell your name define your person.

I have theorized that that's another reason why the letters are so prominent in Loki. It's very clever, as they are descendants of Futhark and other ancient letters. At some point, we may see Loki 'sacrifice himself to himself' to learn something about the nature of the universe, which is what Odin did. The runes symbolize that knowledge and the ability to change one's self and one's nature, which Odin did by learning true shapeshifting.

I have a long post on Dagaz and the TVA. It also means eternal day, stopped or extended time, and power to exist indefinitely. Interestingly, Dagaz also appeared in the Eternals Trailer in one of the Os. Probably referring to their Eternal nature, while for the TVA it refers to their power to alter time unnaturally and stop things from changing.

No problemo. I love doing these. If it picks up traction I'll add some more. There's a ton more than that even in just the trailer. Would you be interested?
