joss whedon: loki tortures and murders people for fun, and, despite being the god of CHAOS, is a fascist who says things like “it’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation” 

taika waititi: loki is an annoying little shit who day-drinks, puts on theater about himself, and fucks his way to the top

joss whedon: loki and thor are gods, so they always talk proper and posh and in cryptic riddles so for no reason. it makes them seem more powerful and mystical.

taiki waititi: one time when they were kids loki turned into a snake because he knows thor loves snakes and then thor went to pick up the snake and then loki turned back into himself and screamed “yueagh, it’s me!” and then he stabbed thor

Taika Waititi has a deeper understanding of Norse mythological accuracy than Joss lol

It’s because Joss Whedon looks at all mythology and religion through a Christian-atheist lens. You can see it in Buffy and even a little in Firefly too. Even when he writes about other religions and their deities and practices, it still comes back to Christianity.

He wrote Thor and Loki as modern Western Christianity would portray Jesus and the Devil as opposed to how they actually are in mythology or the comics

SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT! I DIDN’T WANT TO BE THAT PERSON.

God. Norse mythology is so fucked up. Christianity is all about right and wrong and the bible is there to be a moral guidebook. But Norse mythology, like many other polytheistic cultures, was so much more complex because the gods were based on natural phenomena. AND NATURE ISN’T A FUCKING LESSON IN MORALITY.

Thor was a little shit. Loki was a little shit. Odin was a super shit. Fucking Odin would go to Midgard in disguise and help heroes and everyone knew it was him. Like “I’m just a random old guy with one eye.” “FFS we know you’re Odin just do your Odin thing and be cryptic then leave.”

And the giants weren’t evil! The giants could change size (that’s how the booty smooshing happened with the regular humans) and they totally helped the Norse out when they felt like it.

Stop bringing your monotheism into ancient polytheistic cultures 2k18. I stg. I am done with this bullshit.
