That damn voyeuristic desire has already made us dream about him again and again. However, the once-mighty and defiant supervillain would be as powerless as a child.
No one would have imagined that such a maverick, fickle, treacherous, and ambitious God of Tricks could not escape the fate of falling over, and even became so out of place in an unknown environment.
Just last week, Marvel's new series "Rocky" officially premiered on Disney+. This Marvel classic villain, who is as popular as Thor, finally has his own six-hour long solo show.
And the first episode of the show gave us a slap in the face. The "God of Tricks" lost his divinity; he began to doubt the outside world, and stared at every move around him like a young man who was ignorant of the world. Some people say that such a Loki has the most real human side, but I still feel that Loki is still the unfathomable Loki.
Trial and error is also adaptation
In the chaos, Loki regained the cosmic cube and escaped, a scene from the movie "Avengers: Endgame". This situation has logically continued into the current premiere episode of "Rocky".
In a daze, Loki was thrown into the desert and confronted the mysterious, well-equipped TVA. While emphasizing the importance of the cosmic Rubik's Cube, he is eager to make these strangers feel his power.
However, the first battle in the strange world was a fiasco, and Loki was once again reduced to a prisoner.
This time, Loki, the god of tricks, was taken to a completely unfamiliar place called the Time Variation Authority (TVA).
In this TVA, there are diligent and brave workers who "protect the sacred time line" everywhere. All of them have a seemingly high-profile style, always revealing a strong bureaucratic atmosphere, and they will never come out unless they have to. commonplace. All of this made it difficult for Loki, who was accustomed to walking freely and freely, to adapt.
At first, Loki looked at the Temporal Mutation Authority: "If the Temporal Mutation Authority is always watching, how come I've never heard of it?" "On which path I want to be. "
It's Rocky, kind of arrogant and egoistic.
Loki has always been an ambitious careerist; but the people in TVA are loyal to their official style, and they also have a fearless sense of mission to guard the timeline. Obviously this is not suitable for Loki to stay.
Loki tried to escape and resist again and again, but was reset and reset again and again. He seems to be stubbornly competing with opponents with disparities in strength, but when you think about it, this is not a trial and error in Loki's way of doing things: if you succeed, you will be king, and if you lose, you will slip away.
After several trial and error, the scheming Loki began to wonder how embarrassing he was in the situation. Anyone is often out of tune when faced with an unknown situation. The current Loki also seems to have the heart of the world. He is no longer able to do it with ease and power, so it is inevitable that he will seem as out of place as ordinary people.
What's more, this seemingly "metropolis" Time Variation Administration has insight into the fate of people and even gods. Loki, who has never believed in fate but only in himself, how can he not be afraid and restrain himself?
Here, Loki saw that the Infinity Stones, which were regarded as treasures, were so ordinary, and at the same time, he also felt the dissipation of his own abilities. These sudden big "surprises" made the confused Loki have no room to react.
In several confrontations with TVA members, Loki was eventually defeated. Rather than being reckless like a reckless man, or timid like a coward, he thought, he might as well be more candid in order to pave the way for unforeseen success in the future.
As a result, Loki was able to say the words full of awe: "This is a cruel and well-designed scam, a tool operated by the weak to create panic." Through TVA, Loki learned many secrets of the future, However, he blamed everything on his own character and a less optimistic future. This, too, is Rocky.
in awe? Loki, who has always been fickle, is not knowing how much he looks up at this time, and how much aggressiveness does he have to challenge authority?
cat and mouse game
I still remember that in an interview with the main creator, Owen Wilson (played by Mobius) once mentioned that the relationship between Mobius and Loki is mutually restrained and coexisted.
The relationship between the two characters, just like the veteran police detective Jack Keys and the habitual criminal Reggie in "48 Hours" in 1982, are also symbiotic coexistence and destiny.
In fact, to be more precise, with the continuous development of the plot, the shallow and incomprehensible relationship between Loki and Mobius is more like 2002's "Cat and Mouse Game".
Mobius is a seemingly well-informed and well-balanced detective; Loki is a god with erratic behavior, elusive mind, and ever-changing tricks. Obviously, Mobius and Loki are two extremes. They are one good and one evil, and there is a constant evil relationship. Vaguely, the two do have a little sense of CP that can't be explained.
The workers in TVA don't care about the cosmic gem that Loki treasures; they don't care how famous and talented Loki is. What's even more ironic is that the infinity stone that Loki and the members of the Avengers once fought for life and death is actually an easy-to-see thing in the drawer, or even just a paperweight tool.
And only TVA agent Mobius "looks at Loki differently", and is even willing to defend Loki under the risk of a big deal.
Mobius reveals all the time: I know Loki very well, I know the past, and I know the future. I am the ruler who looks down on life from a high place, and the leader in clearing the flow of time in a mysterious place. Since you are a god, you must be afraid of me.
In the first half of the first episode, Mobius and Loki actually tried each other in behavior and guessed each other in words.
Loki was always figuring out how to escape and confront him at first, until Mobius began to try to win him over with an emotional offensive. And Loki, who has always been treacherous and fickle, didn't give up every opportunity, so there was a scene where he led the sheep and turned against customers.
Perhaps, this is also Mobius testing Loki's emotions and temperament. The delicate relationship between the two in the first episode gave us infinite reverie. After all, are they evenly matched with each other, or is Loki coming from behind and taking the lead? It's still hard to guess.
Speaking of this, we might as well go back to the "cat and mouse game" to compare. Fraudster Frank (Lizi) is young and charismatic, calculating and scheming. And his opponent, FBI agent Carl (Tom Hanks), controls Frank's every move with the attitude of an overlooker.
Throughout the first episode of "Rocky", the god of tricks Loki and the agent Mobius, although the dialogue between the two is very little, but their relationship is all like "The Cat and Mouse Game".
These two people who seem to be extremely harmonious and complementary to each other, is there a drama of love and murder that is gradually escalating?
The premiere episode started with "Reunion 4", and it was inevitable that people would be stunned by using multiple films that were related to each other to bring back our memories.
But this is Rocky's show after all. There have been reports that although this Solo drama is divided into six episodes, it is not as simple as an extended version of the movie in one go. Perhaps in the later plots, more stories involving Loki's fate will be outlined.
And Dousen and other main creators have also mentioned that the title "LOKI" flashed in the play is constantly changing and switching.
The good thing about the first episode of "Rocky" is that it pulls the audience back to the emotions that were poured into "The Avengers" and "Thor", and takes us into a new situation of Rocky, feeling His confusion, his bewilderment, his fickleness and treacherousness.
Of course, it makes us more curious, why does Loki make TVA helpless and have to come out to save the world?
Ok? ! Damn curiosity.
