I've heard people suggest that she was trying to emulate the styles of the people around her, but obviously didn't grasp the nuances of fashion. She didn't become a prostitute until NYX, which while published before this, took place after it, chronologically. Ah, that's right. I had it wrong, sorry. And good thing Kyle and Yost ignored all of it too.

Random Stranger posted:If the incursion ends with the population of Stilt-Earth all standing together in the incursion, and then extending their legs to push Marvel earth away it will be totally worth it. "It was a Stilt-Man world. It was the first of many." Anyway, content. Original Sin: Thor & Loki #4 is all about Thor and Loki invading the heretofore forgotten Tenth Realm of Yggdrasil, Heven, in order to find Thor's recently found-out-about sister. Thor gets captured, then Loki defects because of course he does, and helps the angels of Heven with their plan to invade Asgard (because they have a score to settle with Odin for cutting them off from the other realms in the first place). Now I considered putting this in the badass thread for the last part, but the "Baby murder WILL happen!" line was too much.

Is Loki a woman at the moment for disguise purposes, or because Loki purposes?

The angels know he's a dude, he just changed his appearance just to blend in better after his "backstab" of Thor. Maybe also subtlety increase their trust of him.

Loki's got a thing going right now where he can't really shape shift but can only change into versions of himself, like Lady Loki.

Well, he does take it to extremes. He had to steal a giant's workhorse so he dressed as a female horse to lure it away. He came back pregnant.

From what I gathered, Odin would go around looking like a woman, but he was all man underneath. Loki would actually become a woman, including getting pregnant, and thus was effeminate and looked down upon. Ancient mythology is misogynistic.

A few years ago I was at the Getty with my mother and she had to ask, "What's that woman doing with that swan?" when we passed this statue ( for artistic bestiality). And just to make it worse, they had it opposite of Rembrandt's The Abduction of Europa but at least I didn't have to explain why she was riding a cow. Anyway, have some Herbie because this thread needs more Herbie:

achillesforever6 posted:That or maybe because all the weird stuff was memorable that it was remembered and preserved and all the stories about the gods being reasonable sane benevolent beings got lost to the ether. Pretty much. Even at the time, people complained that all the nutty stories were inappropriate for making fun of the gods who provided mankind with warmth\food\etc. I mean, take Ares. He was the God of Law Enforcement in the religion (a role that shows up just once in the common myths, when he arrives to arrest Sisyphus for kidnapping Death) and the source of Masculinity\Courage\Willpower\etc, but since he was the patron of Sparta and almost all our myths come from Athens, in the stories he's a violent bumbling loser who constantly gets his poo poo wrecked by the Awesome and Wise and Super-Cool and Daddy's Favorite Athena.

That or maybe because all the weird stuff was memorable that it was remembered and preserved and all the stories about the gods being reasonable sane benevolent beings got lost to the ether. I could swear I read somewhere that part of the point of Greek mythology was that the gods were as bad as (or worse than) humans. I'm sure there's a link between the way they behave in the Iliad (which was a story that would be told for entertainment) and the way people behave on reality TV.
