Trolololol

My titles are obviously very well thought out.

I was wondering if anyone's seen the fun little internet joke Thor and Loki put out in Journey Into Mystery #622. From the CBR Preview.






I haven't been following but I gather Loki died and came back a kid (which is really actually nice since Thor treats him affectionately, head pats and all) but is there anything I need to know? Like, where/why they found him de-aged, and does he remember everything or only certain things?

Hold on, you've got a world where mutants and aliens and robots and who knows what else are all over the news every damn day, almost every city has at least one extra-normal person who lives there, where it's gotta have been all over the news that a city full of Gods is living on Earth. So why would anyone blink an eye that this chap on Facebook claims to be a God? Nine times out of ten, they probably are!

More evidence that civilians in Marvel are total bucketheads.

Yeah pretty much.

Well, even if something doesn't defy physical impossibility, it could still be bullshit. For instance, if I came on and claimed to be the president of Algeria, showing a poor grasp of the internet and little-to-no social graces, I would be accused of trolling. It's possible Loki found some message board about Asgard, the situation possibly being quite heated due to recent events, and being just plain abrasive to anyone. Folks could certainly see that as trolling.

Well, if there's maybe a million super-beings on the planet, being generous, out of 6 billion people, the majority aren't gods, and most of the super-beings are engaged in constant turf wars and/or protecting their identities, I think playing the odds and assuming this guy Loki is a troll is reasonable. Also, many of the people I've run into online or offline who include "Loki" in their name have named themselves after Loki *because* they're trolls of the highest order and proud of it.

We are, after all, dealing with a planet where being a girl on the (wrong parts of the) internet sometimes gets that sort of reaction...

So, bucketheads, yeah.
