Look, I am quite critical of TR myself, but I saw a post calling Loki's depiction there "cowardly" reblogged by some blogs I follow because he had self-preservation, and like, isn't the whole point of why we like Loki that he doesn't fit into Asgard's stringent ideals of honor and glory? Isn't that his tragedy? What are we, Asgardians? Lol.

#also i fucking hate when self-preservation is framed as cowardice. are y'all gonna say he should have turned himself in after t:tdw next?#and 'might is right' as honor #i dislike TR for how it fails to take anything seriously + the stupid retcons + Thor being an asshole & getting framed as right by narrativ #but loki is just trying to survive?#even the betrayal can be interpreted as a means to protect thor bc thor had no fucking plan whatsoever #and thor just got lucky loki involved himself later by bringing the ship. otherwise asgardians would be extinct.#also; that post was blaming him for bringing hela to asgard bc he called for the bifrost to escape #and like; idk there's other people i'd blame first before that... notably odin; frigga; and hela bc she is doing the destroying...#mcu!loki #tr critical #im the sort of person that often finds “honor” stupid... so...#lots of dumb shit could be prevented without honor #i consider loki to be a very brave character. it's a consistent trait. in the end he always ends up sacrificing himself for others.#if anything that cowardice is loki showing a healthy amount of self-preservation for once
