what’s your favorite and least favorite 2011-2013 loki outfits?

which of loki’s outfits would you most like to wear?

I don't think I could possibly pick a least favourite, but I will talk about the details in his costume design I love the most.

And before I get to the tangential rant, to answer your question- I think my favourite is the TDW one and I'd wear his prison outfit (it looks so comfortable!).

Now, let's talk about the details:

I think one of my most favourite is the overall symbolism we see in his outfits.

-I'm sure you already know about this one, but the inspiration behind the shape of his collar being the faux calla lily is a great example. (X) (concept art by Charlie Wen)

-the triquetras! There are so many triquetras seen in Asgard and Loki's got them too. (X)

-the helmet: Apart from the fact Loki and Thor's helmet designs, when combined, make up Odin's helmet design (X), I love the difference between the horns in Thor 1 and The Avengers and how well it goes with the theme of the story.

-then there's the J��rmungandr & Fenrir symbolism in his armour seen in The Avengers (and the overall complexity of it!)

-I really like the layers / the "serpentine like design":

-I find the colour scheme of his costume very fitting (and they're my favourite colours)

-the golden piece on his chestplate is just such a good recurring motif

-and what I find interesting is the amount of gold we see in each movie and its meaning:

His Thor 1 armour is very sleek and elegant. Almost appearing untouched.

In The Avengers, it's much darker and worn. The gold we do see is mostly an illusion.

And in TDW, the gold is the most damaged. He still looks just as powerful, but you can tell he's been through something.

-I haven't even touched on the Midgardian outfits yet, but I think they reflect his elegance really well (tumblr only allows 30 images per post sooo X, X).

-about Loki's prison outfit: I would say, this is him at his most vulnerable and the choice of clothing does convey that. I also really like the reference of his sleeve design. (X)

I love this shot. CONSPICUOUS WATERGATE HOTEL IS CONSPICUOUS right as Captain America is about to get jumped by members of a sinister government conspiracy, after Evil Robert Redford got done telling him his apartment was bugged by the head of the very agency he works for. It’s not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

I think it was like this in 2012? When we were all doing “they live together in the tower” fics and, like, I wasn’t really a fan of the *heroes*, but it was nice sharing space with that other half of the fandom. I wasn’t on tumblr but I did interact with fans on social media and it was interesting to encounter, like, Iron Man fans and to swap fic recs and stuff.

These days it’s more like… “I hate them as a company so I don’t know what we are anymore. Are you, diehard fan, my enemy? My ally? A beloved friend?”

Do you think, idk, MCU fans feel the same way Shakespeare fans feel when they meet someone who is a fan of Shakespeare but not *their* Shakespeare? - I just got followed by a Twelfth Night blog and I LOVE being like "hey! not exactly my fandom but also we are fandom cousins!".
