Following the game-changing events of Loki's season 2 finale, upcoming merchandise for the Marvel Studios TV series appears to reveal the God of Mischief's new moniker in the MCU's expanding Multiverse.

In Loki's season 2 finale, the God of Mischief decides that giving those on the Sacred Timeline free will - even if it ends with their demise in Kang's Multiversal War - is a better option than taking He Who Remains' place and leaving them stuck in that endless loop. 

After destroying the Time Loom, Loki dons a new costume and uses the abilities Kang gave him to reignite the dying branches and create a new, infinite Multiverse. 

Now, he sits atop his throne at the Citadel, watching over his friends from afar. All signs point to the Multiverse eventually dying, both as a result of the aforementioned war and the incursions which are taking place for reasons which still aren't clear. On the plus side, Loki will then be freed, presumably setting him up as a major player in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and/or Avengers: Secret Wars

Funko has today revealed a Pop figure which depicts Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief in his new role. However, what's interesting about this is the fact Loki has been given the moniker of "God Loki."

This suggests Loki is not the God of Mischief or even the God of Stories; he is simply "God." 

We can't help but think Loki will be the one who takes on Doctor Doom's role in Secret Wars, using his powers to create a "Battleworld" reality made up of countless worlds that serves as a home for those who somehow survived the destruction Kang unleashes.

In the comics, as the God of Stories, Loki gained the ability to perceive, manipulate, and even rewrite narratives and stories. This meant he could influence the world around him, shaping his and every other story being told. 

He became so powerful that even stopping Ragnarok was possible. and as well as rewriting his own future, he even bent the omnipotent beings who created Asgard's Gods to his will. 

We don't anticipate Loki breaking bad, but if he does create a new world, then it's entirely possible he'd choose to rule over it. Still, we'd guess it will be in a heroic way as a leader rather than a dictator (after all, to make him a villain would be a major step backwards for the character after what we've seen in Loki).

How do you feel about Loki's newfound role as the Multiverse's God? Do you think it was the perfect end to his story or should Tom Hiddleston definitely return down the line?

@comicfan100 - No, he wasn't. That's his nature, to be a villain. He's The God of Evil. He is the guillotine that will behead the universe. Him being the all-evil cunning villain in stories like Ragnarok, Straczynski's run and Siege are better stories than any garbage Marvel Comics (or MCU) try to sell as ''Good Bad Boy Loki''.

You're not a comic fan; you're an MCU fan.

@URCOMMENTSUCKS - never had a screen name described his own comment so well. Earth X had the best approach to this: who the hell decided he was to be the god of evil? Not him. And it was his nature AS a trickster god that allowed him to question his very nature. Why couldn’t he be destined to be happy? So yes, changing his fate in the comics, kid Loki, all the way to his agent of Asgard and god of stories arc was a truly GOOD character development arc for him. Otherwise, besides creating the Avengers he was becoming so one note and boring he himself would HATE how predictable he became.

@DENNISsystem - >never had a screen name described his own comment so well.

At least my username can be spelled without stuttering.

>Earth X had the best approach to this

Earth X was an alternate universe where Aesir were mutants. Don't care.

>who the hell decided he was to be the god of evil?

He did. He's the one who came up with that moniker.

>Not him.

Yes, him. I think it was during the times when Stan Lee was still writing Thor comics where Loki started referring to himself as that.

>And it was his nature AS a trickster god that allowed him to question his very nature.

No, it wasn't. He was a power-hungry dipshit who sought power and wanted to bring on the suffering to those he felt wronged him. His motive was not to try to prove his worth or be seen as equal. His point was the opposite: that he can outsmart and outpower everyone and impose suffering onto everyone.

>Why couldn’t he be destined to be happy?

Because he's a villain who murders innocents and seeks to rule over everything with an iron fist. He didn't deserve happiness. That's his contrast with a character like Thor. Thor is a man who endures great pain and still stays true to himself no matter what. Loki is a self-centered snake who bites the hand feeds it. They're Yin and Yang. That's called basic storytelling.

>So yes, changing his fate in the comics, kid Loki, all the way to his agent of Asgard and god of stories arc was a truly GOOD character development arc for him.

No, it wasn't. It was character assassination, character degradation, and, most of all, Agent of Asgard and God of Stories already had been using MCUfied Loki. So that's a shitty argument already if you're using MCUfied BS that retcons the original character? Like that shit about Loki being genderwhater and gay. That came after the MCU Loki became popular among the fangirl community, they started writing those terrible fanfics with Thor and Loki, and there was a demand for gay Loki in comics, and Marvel's editorial was stupid enough to do it, even though the previous comics absolutely dismiss that idea, as he was always portrayed as a hyper-masculien straight dude who only likes women and was in fact married to a woman named Sigyn whom he used just to have sex with her and gaslight her.

>Otherwise, besides creating the Avengers he was becoming so one note and boring he himself would HATE how predictable he became.

I don't know whether you're referring to the comics or the movies. If it's about the comics, then you clearly haven't read anything with Loki beyond the shit you mentioned, because him being the catalyst behind the creation of the Avengers is one of his least impressive feats. If you're talking about the movies, then also [frick]ing wrong, because had the MCU actually did the right thing and faithfully adapted the story of Ragnarok, and had Loki as the main villain who fulfils his destiny as the villain and brings on the end of the world, it would make him a far better character than him being reduced to a third wheel who acts like an SNL sketch.

@URCOMMENTSUCKS - You are right, Loki was supposed to be a villain even after centuries and millenniums! Even humans can't change their nature, just look at you, your comments still sucks and will continue to suck, you are destined to be bitchy for your entire life. Crying and whining about everything, making zero sense and stereotyping everything to make a point thats not there, FYKI, even Joker is a good guy in alternate realities. But too bad most humans learn slow and don't have enough time for any real character development, if only you had more time like a God, you could have changed your stripes but alas, you are a lost cause.

@SpiderParker - You're still having a hissie months later, you little insecure P-word? I won't go on a big rant about your stupid overlong comment, so I'll instead get to the basics:

1. Your ad hominem attacks are irrelevant. So shove them up your [redacted].

2. Loki is a genocidal piece of shit who murdered innocent people for fun. Debate that, not whine about my comments for their mere existence.

3. The MCU didn't have Loki from an alternate universe turn out to be a good guy. They took a villain from their universe, who was, get this, a VILLAIN, and made him a good guy.

In short, [frick] off and nothing in your shit response refutes any of my points. They all still stand.

@URCOMMENTSUCKS - In Norse Mythology, Loki mated with a woman, a man, and a horse. Not all at once though, different tales.
URCOMMENTSUCKS
URCOMMENTSUCKS - 11/13/2023, 3:12 AM
@YaBoyRD - In the Eddas Loki is a husband to Sigyn and a lover to Angrboda. The bit about a man is a lie told by Odin to emasculate him. And a horse bit... Well, people who [frick] horses aren't gay; they're sick in the head. So I don't know who the [frick] wants to see that in their superhero story except for those weirdos on Twitter who can't shut up about Loki being queer cuz he [frick]ed a horse.

But also: Marvel Comics picked and chose what to adapt from the Eddas. Loki's degenerate behavior was something that was omitted for most of his history. (For a good reason.) Since it brought nothing of value. They instead took parts that mattered: such as his nature as the trickster god, his destiny to bring on the end of the world, his familial ties with monstrous children, etc.

Still think Norn is a more apt moniker for what he is now. The Norns in Norse Mythology are Jotuns responsible for shaping destinies and taking care of the world tree. And that's pretty much what Loki is doing now (albeit alone instead of with three Jotuns)

Haven't watched Loki season 2 except the first two episodes. I hope it gets better because the first two episodes seemed kinda bland.

But I LOVE the dude from Goonies. He needs to start his own podcast and just talk about all the different things he wants.
dude is epic.

@lazlodaytona - It's definitely a slow progression but its worth it. I thought it wasn't great at first and gave it a few weeks rest then jumped back in and it does pick up.

@lazlodaytona - He has an infectious positivity that we all thought came from his roles in Temple of Doom and The Goonies, but after watching him in interviews, in Everything Everywhere and Loki, I think that's just who he is.

The world needs more Ke Huy Quan. He's hard not to love.
