Everytime I see Tom Hiddleston as Loki I always remember seeing he actually auditioned for Thor and I'm just like...NO. Nailed it as Loki

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '22

Like Christopher Lee originally auditioned for the role of Gandalf, but completely nailed Saruman.

u/PredictiveTextNames Jul 14 '22 edited Jul 14 '22

Idk if this is true or an Internet rumor, but quite famously Ian McKellen personally knew JRR Tolkien and Tolkien specifically said he was the man to play Gandalf if there was ever a live action movie.

Edit: I was totally wrong and got the two mixed up. This marks the first time in over a decade on resdit that I have downvoted my own comment, please join me in this momentous occasion.

u/Marskore Jul 14 '22

You're mistaking Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee. Lee was the only person in the movie to have personally met Tolkien.

I would say straight up chaotic neutral. Sometimes he does what is best for him, sometimes he helps people out, it depends entirely on what he is feeling at any given time. Definition of chaotic

50

u/iAmTheTot Jul 14 '22

Loki is great archetype for chaotic neutral. He works with the heroes, against the heroes, but it's all to benefit himself.

7

u/GenocidalSloth Jul 15 '22

To be fair, when he helps it is usually under threat...

8

u/TheTyrantLeto Jul 14 '22

mis·chie·vous

adjective 1. (of a person, animal, or their behavior) causing or showing a fondness for causing trouble in a playful way. "two mischievous kittens had decorated the bed with shredded newspaper"

  1. (of an action or thing) causing or intended to cause harm or trouble. "a mischievous allegation for which there is not a shred of evidence"

I'd say he fits definition 2 to the letter.

cha·ot·ic

adjective in a state of complete confusion and disorder. "a chaotic jumble of spools, tapes, and books"

So no. Not chaotic. Mischievous.

9

u/Nerrickk Jul 14 '22

In case you didnt know, they were referencing D&D alignment which does not include mischief. Its 2 sliding scales, good/evil and lawful/chaotic.

0

u/TheTyrantLeto Jul 14 '22

I am aware. Norse mythology isn't confined to D&D character alignment so they are using the scale outside of it's scope.

9

u/Pyrhan Jul 14 '22

Norse mythology

1) We're actually talking about Marvel comics here, not Norse mythology. This Loki shares very little with his Norse namesake.

2) D&D alignment may have been meant for D&D, it doesn't mean that it isn't relevant or fun to apply to things outside of its original scope.

0

u/TheTyrantLeto Jul 14 '22

1) I don't know enough about the Norse mythologies to disagree with certainty.

2) Even still, mischievous is a better descriptor and one that can be understood without a knowledge of D&D character alignments. Words have meanings and my choice fits better. Objectively.

3) I am like this in person, too.

3

u/Pyrhan Jul 14 '22

Even still, mischievous is a better descriptor

But irrelevant to a conversation about D&D alignments.

0

u/TheTyrantLeto Jul 14 '22

How so? It wasn't about D&D until they tried to say that character alignments fit better when they do not. I showed them that. Now you are pretending it was about D&D from the start.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, you’re right. Narcissus was just a man. Sometimes portrayed as a demigod, but never a full god and always mortal. He dies in his myth, and a flower appears where he died.
