The only way I've been able to make sense of this show's fight scenes are that they've dialed Loki's physical fighting skills to a 1 then dialed up his magic skills to an 8... though his magic is limited to only using it in random occurences outside of combat. Everytime he's in combat he'll resort to h2h fighting which he'll normally lose or struggle with. It's hard to imagine that this used to be the guy who could go toe to toe with Thor. I think this is to show that without his magic and guile, Loki is not as strong as the average Asgardian, but then he isn’t an Asgardian. What’s only been touched upon in the narrative is how Lokis are agents of chaos that prevent the universes from smoothing out into totally predictable, unchanging order. Out of chaos comes new creation. Loki is a destroyer and a creator. Loki was strong enough to manhandle Thor to a degree. Was easily overpowering Captain America in a purely physical fight. Had reflexes fast enough to catch an arrow without looking. Is outright bullet proof. Even without his magic and guile, Loki is an absolute beast of a fighter. Or at least he was. This series has completely removed that aspect of his movie version. |
