Blogpost #3 Why Loki is more popular than thor?

                      I have watched the movie Thor the Dark World and in the movie Loki was more recognized rather than Thor. A bad guy over powering the superhero in terms of fans. Is it because for once in the movie Loki became a good guy but in the end he still tricked his brother? Today I will research why most viewers prefer to idolize Loki rather the main star of the movie Thor.

Why fans love Loki more than Thor
I have read an article "‘Thor: The Dark World’: Why fans love Loki more than Thor" by Sophia Jacobbs

I Learned that since the start of The Avengers movie and the preview Thor the dark world, Loki was already drawing attention from the viewers. Fans love Loki because you see both parts of Loki. The vulnerability and the violence sometimes shows in the same scene.

Unlike Thor, who is a very strong warrior, Loki not only executes evil agendas. He believes he is the one at odds with the world. We relate with Loki on what he feels and just like him, We could relate on what he is experiencing

According to Jacobbs "In five minutes, Loki can make you feel sympathy mixed with dread. Hiddleston is able to balance both extremes to create a pitiable and weak god that we can all, in some small way, feel for."

I certainly agree on what she said because Loki could make us feel what he wants us to know because of his
similarities just like us.


Loki More Popular?

In my opinion, Loki is more popular than Thor because of his role in the movie that all could relate, But I still read an article by Brigid Brown entitled "Is Loki More Popular than Thor?"

Even the actor of Loki was surprise of the fast arising popularity of his character. The fans didn't idolize the actor, but they idolize the character and its attitude. Loki's mischievous was a big factor on his popularity to.

Brigid Brown said "We suspect his popularity is a result of a combination of Hiddleston’s charm, mixed with Loki’s mischievous ways. Oh, and well, the impersonations of course."

That is also one reason why Loki is popular. The connection of the actor and the character. They both match the personalities and made a perfect match

Loki is a successful Villain for me because it caught the attention of the audiences and he made a big impact by dethroning Thor by most popular in the movie.
