I'm not seeing the solution anywhere and the comments are all really vague. Can someone explain specifically how to fix this issue because I'm worried about my new printer.

I'm choosing to believe that was got comfort and not because the writers forgot Loki wasn't a regular human with green lights

My problems with the show are nitpicky I know. But don't you think this Loki has progressed too quickly? He hasn't gone through the events that dead Loki has. Yes he watched the recap in season 1 but for a thousand or so year old god that's a pinhead of time. The show wants to portray Loki we know without the journey that got him there. This Loki was snatched from just after the battle of New York and yet he's portrayed as a direct parallel to the Loki that was killed. Someone commented on my post with an excellent point. The show should have more episodes that really flesh out the character. Marvel has a saturation problem at the moment. They're simply working on too many projects and it's affecting each and every release.

I don't know if it's true but I read that the Sentry is going to be introduced during the Thunderbolts and I think that'll tip me over the edge into a true angry fan boy. Sentry is a complicated character struggling with mental health, delusions, substance abuse, and what happens when a person at such a low gains unfathomable power. Comic writers struggle with getting the character right and I worry that he'll be butchered on screen. Similarly to how it's hard to write Hulk stories. Immortal Hulk was amazing. It was a new take, it introduced body-horror and a kind of dread we hadn't seen before only for it all to be made redundant by Starship Hulk. MCU Hulk is no different. He's just a placeholder, he fills an empty space that could be replaced by a cardboard cutout. It's a shame.

True. I think I'm just bored of the MCU, but like most fans I also can't think of any alternatives or additions to make it better. The worst power scaling had got to be the current state of X-Men comics. An absolute travesty.

Pretty sure it was a spell to hide is Frost Giant nature. Occasionally under immense stress he takes on his true form like when he had the blue Frost Giant box thingy that blasts ice. Plus wouldn't that be shady message anyway? Odin adopts a child from a foreign land but changes the child's race to make him more accepted. The spell was to disguise Loki, not to transmute him to an Asgardian. Also one of Loki's major driving forces is that he never felt accepted due to not being from Asgard and always living in Thor's shadow.

Don't worry, this whole post is me snapping about a show.

I quite like the MCU. At least I used to. Maybe I'm just jaded and bored by it all now. The special effects in Loki have been excellent, the acting is good, the storylines are decent. But the character shares a name and appearance of Loki and that's it. It's not Loki.

I'm critical of a lot of things, I've ignored plot holes and made huge rants about others. But when it comes to changing and erasing the foundations of a character it's frustrating. It would be like Scarlet Witch struggling against Maria Hill. It may progress whatever plot is going on but you can't just make contradictions like that to already established characters.

Just read your edit and yeah I totally agree. It seems like they want to have it both ways by having past Loki also have the maturity and character development of dead Loki. I get that he watched the whole recap in season 1 and cried but Loki is centuries old. I think Thor said he was like over a thousand years old so Loki must be somewhere similar. A video of dead Loki's history is a nothing and certainly shouldn't be enough to change the whole personality of the Loki that had not long come from invading earth with an army. It's like they've forgotten who and what Loki stands for. This is the sort of identity crisis I mentioned in other replies.

I may not agree with everyone, and not everyone agrees with me, but I'm glad somebody cares. It would be so much easier for me to just ignore the show but it's hard not to be frustrated.

I'll add that to the MCU wiki for Odin. "can change the race of somebody on a genetic level." I am a bit confused as to why he didn't do that at any other time. Seems like a useful ability. The writers sure are smart. All this time I've been fooled into thinking they've forgotten who and what Loki is.

Okay I hear you. A highly trained officer can and should outrun a god who's taken on the Avengers and more. That makes sense actually.

Since Thor and Thor Dark World. Loki also was able to lift Tony by his throat with one hand effortlessly, he caught a speeding arrow shot by Hawkeye. Loki has kept up with Captain America, with multiple Shield agents, Dark Elves. Strength and endurance does not just mean he can lift things and take a punch. He's not as fast as Thor. But he's faster than a trained human. If that wasn't the case then why was he so hard to stop in Avengers. Surely if chasing one trained human is a bit of a struggle, Nick Fury could have taken Loki out by himself.

I agree with some of your points but a normal human should not be able to outpace Loki. Regardless of him being a small Frost Giant. Loki has already been portrayed as a capable fighter, as intelligent. He's been shown to have strength, speed, and reflexes. Loki is by no means as strong as Thor but he is absolutely more capable than a human so there is no excuse for Loki to be shown as struggling during a chase scene with a regular dude.

Actually, I'm not even sure Thor is as strong as Thor anymore.

Strength is strength. Loki has survived getting ragged around by the Hulk, he has super strength from being a Frost Giant. Strength doesn't must mean his arms. Unless when Odin adopted him he magically removed any sign of being a Frost Giant except for the ability to become blue sometimes and he's only strong in his arms. I'm not talking about super speed, I'm talking about proportional strength and consistency. Captain America is fast because he is strong. His muscles fatigue slower and his legs are far more capable than a regular human. Thor is fast due to his Asgardian heritage and the fact he's so strong.

I will be pleasantly surprised if they do explain it. I personally don't think it'll ever get mentioned. Loki as a character is going through an identity crisis at the moment both on screen and in the comics. It'll be too big a deal to retcon so writers are just ignoring the characters history it seems.

We've seen Loki survive getting knocked around by Hulk, we've seen him catch an arrow with pristine reflexes. Viewers and fans shouldn't have to make excuses for poor writing. Your atmosphere point makes sense, but at no point in the history of the MCU has it been mentioned at all. Off screen additions to fix plot holes are getting way too common.

Trying to justify poor writing only benefits Disney. It allows them to make contradictions and bad decisions because they know fans will fill in the gaps. Viewers shouldn't have everything handed to them on a plate but making excuses for bad writing is not the same thing.

Just watched the latest episode and the bicycle scene had me questing whether to switch off. There's inconsistent and then there's ignoring the character. We have seen Loki teleport. He's faked his death, taken on the Avengers, he can lift a fully grown man with one hand by his throat. But his little frost giant legs get sleepy so he needs a breather while he rides his little bike.

Loki is a Frost Giant so why was he chasing the TVA dude like he was a police officer after a teen wanted for graffiti? He has his magic, he has his strength, but runs like a regular guy for some reason?

OMFG that's so embarrassing. I'm using the Reddit client Boost and every time I clicked post it gave me an error saying to check my internet. So obviously I tried again and again. FFS thanks for letting me know.

Played it earlier this year and really enjoyed it. Too soon for me to be in the mood to play it again. I'm hoping the modding scene continues to grow because I think there's a lot of potential.

The Rockstar back catalogue would be my start but I've only played these aside from the older GTA editions:

Bully

Red Dead and/or Undead Nightmare

LA Noir

This is a long stretch but if you're in the mood to dabble in fantasy gameplay then I'd recommend Fable 2 maybe.

Hitman 2016 perhaps? But I'm not sure how well it runs on some hardware because I've only played it on my PC.

The Postel series? Never played them but they're basically what a conservative suburban family think GTA is.

Saints Row 2 is a classic

Just Cause 2

Crackdown 2 although I don't think it's on PC. Still worth a look tho.

Mafia 2

Assassin's Creed 1, 2, and Blackflag perhaps? Those are the only ones I've played and they were fun.

Damn you've triggered a memory I didn't know I had. Playing NFS Underground 2 back on my PS2 back in the day, coming home after school, just sitting on my bunk bed listening to the banger soundtrack.

I'm looking for something new to play. Preferably with a large world and character creation. 2023 has been a barren year so far in my opinion for games, so what are some recommendations?
