I've always appreciated Loki as a character, since the first time I saw him on the big screen. And the new Loki show opened my eyes to the true depth of his heart and soul. This has been my favorite Marvel show yet, and so I wanted this tribute to be my first video ever on this channel.
I'm hoping you guys enjoyed it, and if you did, please consider sharing it with your friends who might also enjoy this Loki Tribute, and also click that like & subscribe button.

Did you guys know that from 5:32, i added my own brass soundtrack which i recorded above the music used to get the Loki theme? It was very fun to edit that together!
That was insane

I liked it
Thor telling his brother “You see Loki You’ll always be the god of mischief”-“But you could be *more* “ is pretty powerful.
It's very powerful and sums of a big part of his character.
@@EscathonEdits But if it were Loki, i wouldnt think he wants to hear that from his own brother. Maybe from his mother, but not his brother.
@@Lanheya but his mum was dead by that point and his dad. So he could only hear it from thor because his literal last surviving brother is telling him he loves him and he can be better.
Sad thing for me with that clip is that we don't know if loki will ever get to show his brother how much more he could be, seeing as though this Loki never heard those words
Ye real powerful patronizing his brother, stfu
Loki is the best example of "Your past doesn't reflect your future".
He's a great example of that! 100%
EVERY MAN has the right to better themselves.! or not
He still kissed her though it was dangerous for cosmos
So would you say the same thing for Hitler or some serial killer or for a child rapist
Your fan reflect your future until your 18 and contiune you will reflect yourself.
"I'm loki of asgard, and I'm burdened with glorious purpose" - that's means a lot for all MCU fans after these series.
Absolutely!

Loki May not be the best villain but he’s definitely my favourite …that if you can even call him a villain at this point
Oh, Loki is so good! For me he gets sort of the Davy Jones Label, an evil man and cruel man, but not a bad one.
He ranks as one of my top antagonists/protagonists in Marvel so far!
He almost did the most heroic action in the entire multiverse, he was ready to die to protect de timeline and save Sylvie
@@xavierreinoso14 He truly did. He went from wanting to take over earth and universe, to not even accepting control at all when It's given to him freely. A heroic man he was.
Definitely not a villain anymore. He's the tragic hero.
You either die as the villain or live ling enough to become a hero
A hero is not born,
A hero is made
Loki captures it quite perfectly
Forged in fire, only for Loki it's more like lava, and from the end of season 1 of Loki he's got more tempering to go.
@@dakodareid3807 Forget by Ice of ____ realm, made a prince of Asgard by the All Father, consumed by the envy & greed for power, imprisoned for his betrayal & unforgivable sins, transformed through the events of an unforgettable relationship with his brother, and finally died for the sake of FAMILY & love towards his last kin.
Loki is a force. A power of his own making. Now made a Broken Man, which doesn’t know when & where will he die.
*But let’s be honest. Loki will die to Thanos anyway. IT’s INEVITABLE.*
@@Alternative_Alba didn't you watch loki season 1
"villains aren't born, they're made."
Loki once tried to save his brother and he died for it
And once again with multiverse stuffs tried to protect the time-lines
And still people calls him a villain
He wasn't.. he was just a broken.
Loki is now a hero without a doubt
wtf cringe as f
he killed 80 people in 2 days
@@Galaxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy He is adopted
@@Galaxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy In this way you guys kill innocent animals for the taste of your tongue lol. What is that, hypocrisy.......
@@as6961 bro what u mean "you guys" like you're an entirely different species. Also you're implying that killing 80 people in 2 days isn't bad?
I don’t care what anyone says but Loki has the saddest story and the greatest curve. He wanted to stand with his brother instead of below him. He was responsible for the death of his mother and the passing of his father. He sacrificed everything to save his brother knowing his life would be forefit. Then he lost his one true friend, and one of the two people that still were alive to love him.
I didnt watch the loki show, he's like dead right, is this before endgame?
@@michaelferrini3318 yeah he escaped with the tesseract
@@Pointbreak-se6ir wait fr? Like its not a different timeline or universe its the same loki?
Well when he escaped he created new timeline.

After the series finale, Thor saying “I guess what I’m trying to say is, you’ll always be the god of mischief, but you could be more” is much more profound
I was just thinking this actually, luckily he is much more than just the god of mischief now. Although he did still lose in the end, not a loss of a victory but the loss of the things he cared about. He "won" but he really didn't.
He didn't get the girl, but he did get a throne.
A glorious purpose, indeed.
What made it more heartbreaking is that he got the throne when it was the last thing he wanted
@@monsteroftheabyss1460does that mean he still lost again😢?
And we are applauding him to be best character in mcu?
@@ranvirchaudharyIn the end… he lost. But it was for his friends to win. Most selfless decision in all of Marvel
@@TheNecroFisherman no, he won, because he has become a person who prioritises others over himself, and he has done just that. He followed his heart, and made it a reality. He won, big time. He is the God of Stories.

6:31 tom really captures the exhaustion, disappointment, betrayal, and sadness that Loki probably feels at the end of the series. BRAVO TOM!
IKR~~~
I'm so glad that Tom Hiddleston's Loki is not done yet with the MCU yet. I want him to continue for a long time.
Let's hope so!
"We know your whole life, how it's all meant to be!"
Loki, for those whoa worship the deity, know that Loki is the type to defy authority and structure.
Like it was said in the series, Lokis survive.
Loki will always be there to challenge something, even if it is destiny.
true for anyone thats studied that actual mythos loki does some nuts shit, I wish the writers of the show took some inspiration of how intelligent old norse loki was and applied it to mcu loki, like giving a spear of mistletoe to the blind god to kill baulder, while also tricking them by being the mistletoe that refused to give protection to baldur and then refusing to cry for baldur and have him revived, I don't remember exactly wtf baldur did to inspire loki's hatred so much but he FUCKED him up, set up the only item that could kill him, gave said item to a blind god and then refused to allow baldurs revival after orchestrating his death
Lilith as a male god.
what@@vanessainman2921
@@vanessainman2921 which mythology?
I want to see Loki get recognised as victorious in a way that everybody will try respect and appreciate him.
Let's see how it goes!
Me too!
I think we're going to see the opposite for a while and then what you mentioned.
Loki of the series is the one after the first avengers movie, so he didn't fake his death, in the other end, he didn't sacrifice himself.
So, basically, people couldn't see what he did that was good, but his first impression was just awful.
And look what just happened.
@@thegreatindiancoder-xr6bjyep
I love Loki so much. He has to get Sylvie back! And no one could make him loveable the way Tom did. The man is brilliant. His linguistic abilities and his acting abilities BOTH blow me away.
100% this!
Okay now I want Spidey to say .....your girl ditch you to Loki 😶
Screw Sylvie. She doesn't deserve Loki. She's no better than the rest who hurt him.
You can tell from the start she was using him.
I do agree with everything else though :)

I love how the Loki series shows a really empathic side of him. We truly see the "Human" In him and he is portrayed as someone just looking for acceptance and redemption.
It’s actually boring all movies do it, the show wasn’t that good at all lore wise and plot wise
The fact that the footage from Loki's life only ended when Thor hugged him is so heartwarming
Just imagine the scene he’ll have with his brother and everyone.
He’ll come back when the multiverse is on fire! They’ll lock him up, believing him to have a hand in all the chaos.
He’ll tell the truth!
They will deny him.
He’ll show them.
They’ll not believe him.
They’ll lose.
He’ll wait! And they will come to him.
They will ask “ why should we believe the god of mischief”
And he will say.
“ I was never the god of mischief. I was always the one who heralded the coming storm! I always meet them first. I always challenged them, before anyone else!
I’m not the god of mischief. I’m the god who challenges authorities, the god of for warring’s”
*I AM LOKI*
*AND I AM HERE!*
Damn, not gonna lie. I could see this happen in some form! Great job on the expression here, Thanks for sharing!
Damn that's a nice monologue there
"I am here with A GLORIOUS PURPOSE"
Which movie is this?have not seen this
Felt that !
who knew, we'd be watching loki become the God of Stories.. truly an epic journey.
Loki Laufeyson, we will see him again in Season 2.
Can't wait to see how they will manage all that, with the movies on the side now that the Multiverse has opened up.
When s2 of loki is coming?????!!
We admire joker, but we love loki.
Because Tom made him loveable.
Not true I love them both.
Watching anything with loki after the finale hits different
Loki and Sylvie make for such a layered dynamic. I am excited to see how it's explored in s2 with both their complex personalities, newfound purpose and the multiverse of madness in view. S2 can't come sooner!
Season 2 is going to be quite the ride!
Cool movie and storytelling that you carry, I enjoyed watching!😉
Thank you very much :)
The god of the multiverse now babyyy
THE GOD OF STORIES
Watching this after the Loki finale is amazing
HE WAS BURDENED WITH GLORIOUS PURPOSE
That line “Lokis’ are always destined to lose” hits real deep I’m not going to lie, it was said at the perfect moment, but whatever held them back, they kept going, it’s some real motivation right there, even though he’s considered a villain and should not be looked up to, I’m pretty sure there isn’t a time where Loki was evil anymore, because this loki is the one who was attacking New York, before that, I don’t think Loki was as bad as this one whom also turned good
Some will say he is an anti-villain and some will say he is an anti-hero... I'll say he's my favorit Superhero 😌❤️
Loki is the best character in the MCU he's the one who started the multiverse stuff
Coming back to this after the season 2 finale makes you rethink everything youve ever experienced. truly brilliant show.
Watching this right after the s2 finale "A footnote to my ascent" well not just a footnote... but the other half is right
Loki is one of my favorite Marvel characters. He's not truly evil. A great antagonist and definitely interesting.
Watching in 2023 after the finale of Loki season 2 god do I love his character development
As Loki would say Glorious
I'm very happy with that statement! :)
People here after season 2 finale?? It was so bittersweet.
👇
I’ve watched this edit quite a few times now, but watching it after the season 2 finale of Loki hits different
title:the god who rewrote his story
Now, God who succeeded
Now he is the God Of The Multiverse
I love Loki's story, in the end he shows that imperfection is perfection. You know, minus the murder XD
He always tried, and he will never stop trying. The God of Mischief will rise again with Sylvie in Season 2.
You are so right about that!
Loki won’t rise if Sylvie is present, in the series he was only there as a plot device to enhance Sylvie’s character
@@lobstershark5059 idk what's up with loki stans constantly reducing Loki's impact on the show, as if he didn't have a shitload of character development, way more than he had in 10 long years. He enhanced his magic, fell in love, made friends and is out there being the only one who didn't mess up the multiverse rn. So like, duh
"Do you think what maked a Loki a Loki is that we're destined to lose?" "No. We may lose... sometimes painfully. But we don't die. We survive".
WoW. This video is AMAZING!!!!!!
I think it sums his story perfectly. He tried.
He is not a heartless god who just wanted to rule the world. He did all of this because he wanted to prove he was worthy. Because all of his life he was in the shadows. For once, he wanted to be the one with power.
But when he was given the chance to do better- he really tried.
Thank you for this cinematic masterpiece I almost cried 💚🖤💚
He really did try! Loki is a character I can't wait to see where his further development goes! I have much respect for his character! The feeling of being ignored by everyone you love is a very relatable feeling around the world, and I think Loki really captures that essence and shows it in his character. But he keeps on trying and trying. "We may fail... but we survive".
Thank you so much for watching, It means a lot to me! 💚🖤💚
There are two ways to go about to prove yourself "worthy" but he chose subjugation by force, harmed, traumatized and killed without any remorse. " I don't enjoy killing..." is not the same as "I regretted doing what I've done"
@@lylelaney8270 I belive that he has accepted what he has done. He doesn't need to say that he regrets it, it think that's quite clearly told throughout the series. Show, don't tell.
This appeared in my recommended after season 2
This video hits hard now
This is so sad, Loki has the saddest story. He was always looked at from a low perspective.. he was never as “good as Thor” he was the one who had his mom killed yet in the end he still ended up sacrificing himself for his brother.. he may have not been considered “good” but to me he always was. Sure he had his bad moments but didn’t everyone? In the end he lost everything, his mom, his dad, his brother, his home, mobius, and Sylvie 😭😭😭 why couldn’t they give him-a break!!! They could’ve gave sylvie and Loki a happily ever after he needs at least one
his story is about work, he needs to work hard to rule, to keep his family, to keep his friends. so if anything is anything, his story will end with him finally getting his moment of happiness, after a whole life of work.
Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn't mean they're lost forever. -Professor X
Ha ba!!!! How did Loki lose his Morbius? 🤣
Loki is like real life. What is hard, miserable and leaves you hanging at the end? Life.....
I honestly didn’t think his story could get any sadder until the season 2 finale
What makes a Loki is a Loki, is a low-key.
Dude, the fact that Loki is destined to fail or is not strong/impactful enough just shines through in this edit. Like he gets owned in NOT only battles or wars but he also gets overpowered in verbal arguments or commands and that is just shown here throughout. For example: the interrogation with Mobius / and that old guy when loki told everyone to kneel. He will always ALWAYS face opposition that he can't ever put down.
Symbolism.
That's a good analysis! I'm glad you liked it. Thank you!
@@EscathonEdits Yesssss. All this has me hyped for that one battle in which Loki will win! Although that would cause an IRREVERSIBLE nexus event lmfao.
this aged well
I didn't watch too much of movies, but somehow found myself fond of the avengers movies/series. first time that I saw him as loki, I had fallen in love. I think he misunderstood and was misunderstood. Besides the love I have for him, it always makes me so so sad whenever I see him. It feels like he's trying to prove himself yet no one turns to tell him he's doing a good job, it feels so sad to see him try and yet fail. I am not good at analyzing personalities especially of movie characters but he's always so interesting.
This is a great analysis of his character, really on point! Loki is a phenomenal character in many ways, and looking forward to see if he eventually finds peace! Thank you for your comment! :)
Finally someone giving love to Loki. Just because it was part of phase 4 and was a tv show doesn’t mean it was terrible
God of multiverse 💚
Loki was at a stage where he doesn't have anyone who cares about him.
He did try man, he tried every trick his mum taught him, he tried every trick he learned from himself, he tried every ally that he could find, all to die in the end... they brought him back, but he is in a TV series, the mainstream is probably going to keep going without him now... all that effort, all that pain... just for me to suffer, watching the two stories that are never destined to intertwine ever again....
"You Either Die A Villain, Or See Yourself Turn Into A Hero
ONLY When THERE Is Nobody To Save"
0:26 Always gives me chills. An old man with no powers, no way to protect himself, stands up to a god. Not to protect someone, not to save the world, but simply because he doesn't want to bow. Not again.
A very powerful statement honestly.
You either die a villlian or live long enough to see yourself become the hero.
Loki has by far one of the best redemption archs ever written.
The hero with most depth in the marvel universe. My hero!
Always gets me when Loki stands up to Thanos and finally says "I, Loki, Prince of Asgard" after saying "Of Jotunheim" for so long - he'd finally accepted his place next to Thor. Really hope when we get Loki S2 that the variant Loki teams up with Thor again.
they did loki so dirty, he could have been such a good character
It is quite sad how he never succeeded but in the end he was succesfull to give his life for others.
Loki is my favorite. His changes are human.
after season 2 this hits diff
A year later Loki is propbably the most powerul god in the MCU.
Loki and Severus are probably one of my MOST favorite villain.... if WE consider them a villain, we all hate them at the start but ended up loving them most at the end
Aim for the moon, even if you missed you stay among the star.
Such a great character and glad that the actor has remained with it
Agreeeed!
I must freaking watch this show
Beautiful done! Cinematic masterpiece! Perfectly captures how Loki really is: not a villain but a misunderstood hero, and when he tries to do the right thing he always gets punished for it. Truly sad but, definitely well defined. I will always love Loki as a character and the way Tom portrays him, is amazingly well done. Tom is Loki and Loki is Tom, no one can change my mind he is made for this role.
Thank you so much, wow. Yeah, Tom is Loki, and no other actor should ever try to replace him as long as he is willing to be Loki. (With the exception of multiverse needing different Loki's of course hah) But, I agree fully!
@@EscathonEdits I agree with you as well keep up the fantastic work 😊👍
@@DarkestMischief490 Much obliged!
The thing about tricksters, you don’t become one by choice. You’re made into one emotionally/mentally.
I'm suprised this came out before Thor: Love and Thunder, because it shows was one of the few gods that tried, all other gods don't care, but Loki tried.
I have seen in countless times, but still every time feels like a completely new experience. Amazing work
Loki is such a good fucking show. Actually the best thing they’ve put out.
The word "Villain" always meant "Someone who sees the world a different way, or from a different angle" doesn't necessarily they are a bad person... I dunno when or who tried to change that meaning but it's true, and the best proof of that is that we agree with a lot of these 'villains'...
Being Loki is like lying to yourself. Lying that you're ok.
"When you have to say you're fine, but you're not really fine" [insert sad music]
@@EscathonEdits sadj
Make a new one with s2
Loki has one of the best written character arcs. ^^
Agreed!
now that s2 ended with PERFECT ending, edit again with s2 cuz he really is God who Tried fr mate
I just want to hug Loki. ... I really do.
He has lost so much, and carries on again and again.
I cant wait for season 2 to come out. Loki is one of my favorite marvel avengers, I think it's perfect how he falls in love with silvi because he's falling in love with himself. With out about Loki is a hero not a villain, he followed all his fathers rules and wasn't good enough but when he broke them he still wane good enough. He was never a villain, he was just broken.
Inspires me when I am down, he plays a god, but he is so relatable...he makes me shed a tear
"The God who tried"
and now finally succeeded.
He found his glorious purpose. He is a God. The God of stories.
Back then we didn't know it would be one of the best MCU projects of all time.
Loki was never a villain he was just someone who wanted to be noticed so he changed, he made himself evil but in the end loki was never and will never be a villain
Can’t wait for season 2 man i ngl wanna see our Thor meet this Loki and have Loki tell Thor everything that has happened
Would love to see Thor interact with this Loki. That would be quite so interesting and moving.
@@EscathonEdits yess agreed
You either die a villain, or live long enough to see yourself becoming a hero ....
Now that's a spin on it.
After Season 2, he found his glorious purpose.
He looks so BADASS in 1:34 especially with the background music!
I haven't even saw the show yet, and I'm watching this instead of the show.
Would still recommend watching the series, It's great! Thank you regardless!
I feel like "There are always men like you." doesn't always get the credit it deserves. Obviously, it was put in there to be this great line showing how people will always stand against people who wish to force others to submit (like tyrants such as Hitler). But in this context, it feels like it's also a reflection of how there are always people like Loki who feel like they have been put down their entire life, made to feel like they deserve to be alone, so they compensate for this lack of love and attention by getting attention by purposefully acting in a way that will make others fear them. Because at least then it's their choice instead of others hating/disliking them for simply being themselves.
There are always men like him. And they aren't inherently evil, they've just been made to feel like they aren't worthy of love. It doesn't excuse their actions, Loki did a lot of horrible things before the series starts. But we get to see him grow once he meets Mobius who understands him. Mobius doesn't tell Loki that he's horrible, he shows him that he sees him and accepts him for who he is. We see a similar growth when Thor accepts him, though it's definitely not the same. Loki (like many others) don't change their horrible ways until they go through something traumatic (mother/father dying) and/or are accepted for who they are yet still encouraged not to be cruel.
Loki is the God of Survivors. Of the rejected and outcasts. And they will always exist in life. Hardship is needed for people to grow and survivors don't exist unless there is hardship. I'd dare say most people on this planet have experienced hardship. So of course people love Loki. We see ourselves in him. How we can be cruel when pushed too far, how we wish to be good, how hard it is to be good when life drags you through the dirt, how acceptance can feel like a breath of fresh air we are afraid is filled with poison. How we just want friends to love and be loved back and family that accepts us for who we are. It's not easy. No matter what path you take, it's going to be hard. But the path of the villain leaves us sick and hateful and constantly unhappy. At least the path of the hero will leave you tied to responsibilities, never to see your friends again, though they will be safe because you made it so. But the path of normal everyday people? At least you get to keep on living, with friends and family and the possibility of losing them or making more/new ones. There will always be another survivor that relates to you. They're out there somewhere, you just have to find them.
There are no words to express how I feel after finding this.
I hope those words which cannot be found are good!
@@EscathonEdits oh but in regards to the video 5***** I'm an old CZcams user since well it's creation. Small sigh see sir I'm crippled with insanity I know too much. Too self aware. Sounds hard to believe but I'm a reality bender.
Just by existing I warp Reality. I just don't know what to do, what values to hold, what ideals to embody.
And now I have literally no one in my life. No friends, no family, nothing.
Sighs thank you for your time sir.
Good day
the show loki pretty much convinced me marvel should do a villian league on the main screen. in the absence of heros villians thrived. used the snap as a great start and beginning for some of them. this loki became great because they took him out of the puppet role that was placed on him by the marvel universe. can you imagine the villians they could recreate that were low performers before but better now? they can even use the accords that turn good man into bad guys and anyone with powers into a villian.
Loki is always on my favorite MCU characters list
And the one who succeeded in the end.
Wow that was a great well put together video mate, very moving and clips were perfect with the music a great advert for the character!!
Must of taken ages, loved it mate 🔥🔥👍🏻
Thank you for checking it out! I appreciate it man. It was a lot of fun putting this one together! Glad you enjoyed it! ^^
