	Slashtastic. I know that the Norse Gods are big on cycles and breaking them so I feel that the only way to resolve the Thor/Loki conflict is to have a wedding and children between them. Loki can do it. If he can take a magic horse he can take Thor. Let them face down other pantheons side by side for a change. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hm... it could work. Isn't there a girl!Loki in some version of the Marvel universe now, anyways? I think I heard there was, though if she exists I've yet to see her (mainly because MA is my current Marvel canon, and I've yet to see them genderbend anyone). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Loki's currently in the stolen body of Sif (whose soul (s)he's stuck in a cancer patient). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah. Never mind that version, then. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Whether or not there's a Girl!Loki in the Marvel Universe, in the original Norse mythology, Loki actually shapeshifted female and even mothered a child. Now granted, the father was a horse and the child was an eight-legged colt. But still! He and Thor could totally have kids if they wanted!

Does the Marvel version ever actually deal with the... juicier original myths? Stuff like Loki being baby-mama for Odin's horse, Odin and Loki dressing up in drag to get Mjolnir back from the giants? Somehow I have a hard time picturing the Marvel Thor putting on a wedding dress and veil.

Although... holy crap, didn't that tailor in Amazing Spider Man mention that Thor always read bridal magazines in his waiting room? o_0

	I actually posted the Marvel adaptation of the "Thor in a wedding dress" story on scans_daily 2.0, I should probably post it again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But this is scans_daily 2.0, and I can't find that entry anywhere... Why does my Search Fu fail so? :( (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In that case, please post it again :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

There's a Marvel adaption of it? I've never seen it. I assume you meant to type 1.0 not 2.0 because of this, in which case you totally should repost it. Because my girl!Loki comment was meant as 'hey, maybe Marvel can acknowledge the existence of such myths as the previously mentioned ones'.

And I remember reading the comic with the superhero suit tailor from the library. And I do seem to recall Thor being said to read either bridal magazines or home and garden magazines. Does anyone have a copy of this comic, because I don't remember what one it was?

	It was Modern Bride. The tailor told Spidey that he suspected Thor's hammer "leans a little to the left." XD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Irritatingly, the Sleipnir origin was adapted last year or the year before in one of the Thor miniseries, and it had nothing to do with genderbending, or Loki. Guys, these myths are over a millenium old (at least!) - you're not less manly for sticking close to the tried and true versions! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The Ages of Thunder mini isn't really canon for the current Asgardians though. It was was about previous Ragnarok cycles (the 3rd, the 11th and the 22nd) and those featured different gods then the ones in Marvel's main Thor title. There were massive differences in the ones in the Ages of Thunder mini and the main ones like The Enchantress being Idunn and Thor being genocidal.

	I do not want to know what Loki and Thor's children would look like... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ahh, Loki. He is the ulitmate brother villain. (Reply to this)

	seriousfic 2009-06-07 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	I remember an unproduced script I read where Thor asked Loki why they were fighting and Loki only said "Sibling rivalry?" This is so much better, and so complex, and so... much more spoken in just a few words. Really classic villain stuff. (Reply to this)

	I remember the final sequence were Loki realises his error, changes his mind and while explaining this is murdered by a mighteously pissed Thor. (Reply to this)

Ah, brotherly love. I think what makes the Thor/Loki relationship so interesting is that they USED to be very close - they loved each other like brothers, in fact. And really, look at the myths - when they DO get along, they really make a very good team. That's probably why their antagonism towards each other is currently so intense - there are no enemies so bitter towards each other as those that used to be friends.

	they loved each other like brothers, in fact. Are you sure they did? I'm not an expert on Thor, so I can't say for sure. But every single flashback story with Thor and Loki I've read shows that, while Thor did love Loki, Loki hated Thor even as a child. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's truer in the old Lee/Kirby flashbacks, where Loki was constantly being played up as 'the Lord of Lies', and 'the root of all eeeeeeevil'. But there HAVE been a few flashback stories where we see Thor and Loki having a great time together. There was one - I think it was posted on here once, and if it wasn't it should have been - where a teenage T&L ambush a bunch of trolls lurking around the borders of Asgard. They're whooping and hollering and cracking jokes, and generally acting like two reckless teenagers having a good time together. (It's through Thor's perspective, and he actually says something like 'this was one of the best times I can remember.')
Or, if you prefer straight mythology, there are LOTS of stories about Thor/Loki teamups - and not as kids, as adults! They work very well together when Loki isn't being played as the debbil in another form - Thor's the brawn, Loki's the brains. Oh, Loki's still untrustworthy, and he and Thor get into plenty of arguments, some of them very serious - like the time he chopped off Thor's wife's hair; that was an epic one - but by and large, they get along pretty well.
