scans_dailyEverybody has probably already seen that Loki will be pansexual and genderfluid in Marvel's new anti-hero novel series, but nobody's actually made a post on it.
The author of Marvel’s new three-book historical fiction series has revealed she is planning to write the character Loki as queer.
Author Mackenzi Lee announced the news on Twitter over the weekend, prompting a flood of support from readers excited to see an LGBT+ character portrayed in a mainstream superhero narrative.
...
When asked whether Loki would be represented as queer in the new novel, YA author Lee replied by saying: “Loki is a canonically pansexual and gender-fluid character. So.”
There has been a bit of whinging from the comic book shithead community, to which author Mackenzi Lee responded
First, it's about time the LGBT+ community was represented in superhero narratives.
Second, in the comics, Loki is reborn as a woman & uses female pronouns & often takes on female forms like the Scarlet Witch and Lady Sif. Odin calls him "my child who is both."
(This is Odin being an uncharacteistically non-shit parent. That's the most controversial part of the whole thing.)
Loki and Thor first meet in The Mighty Thor #3,
where Loki insists he just wants to talk, but Thor knows him better than that! Will this conversation end in peace, or thunder?
Thor is confronted by a lot of Lokis. There's Cat Loki from Unstoppable Squirrel Girl, original flavour loki, Loki from Thors, Loki Agent of Asgard, current Loki, Kid Loki, Kid Loki but a frost giant, Hulk Loki, Loki from about 800AD. they do a bit of fighting, and the Lokis complain that it's all very familiar. Until...
You're right. No need to keep fighting the same battle over and over. But you are forgetting...There is one version of Thor vs. Loki we've never seen before.
Yes, it's JMS's Loki.
At this point, readers knew who Thor was, but the characters didn't
and Lady Loki gets well splatted with Mjolnir.
Loki's comic book adventures continue in the Mighty Thor, where he is part of Malekith the Fucking Prick's War of Realms, and Doctor Strange, where he is the Sorcerer Supreme, or something. I'm not reading it.
By the way, how sexual was Loki in the early days of Journey into Mystery?
