Yes Anne, but for WHOM? Loki just lost his audience… which means he doesn’t have to bother putting on a good show for the onlookers.
With no noncombatants present, Anne doesn’t need to worry about collateral damage hurting innocents when the fighting begins. If innocents did get hurt when the fighting starts, then Loki would use it to prove his point, even if he himself was the one who damaged them.
The point is that neither has a reason to play nice. Not just Anne.
Another page I really liked.
Since Loki’s saying nothing that other people in these comments haven’t said, I’ll say that I disagree. First, Anne is responsible for what she does and Xaos is responsible for what he does. Second, for all we know, if she did leave town, Xaos would just keep attacking the people she cares about, not the people closest to her, until she comes back to save them.
Where Loki does have her is that she has abused her powers and left her messes for someone else to clean up, although she’s grown more responsible lately.
… yes, leaving town wouldn’t work, she would need to stop caring about anyone she left there. And some of them would likely die before Xaos would believe she really stopped caring.
It’s not who you are when people are watching … it’s who you are in the dark. … I’ve always suspected Anne is secretly evil
A little disappointing. Loki went for a more generic villain monologue where he blames the hero for the actions of villains. He should have gone after Anne for abusing her power and using it carelessly.
He looks like he’s getting a little too excited about it, too.
Loki should have milked the “Anne has been abusing her powers and there are people permanently worse off as a result” angle.
Why do the fun villains have to go generic?
He might have been going with that one to turn the crowd against her, and now that they’ve cleared out, he might switch to something that undercuts Anne’s self-confidence a little more.
“Well, I’ve got news for you, so-called-master: up until now, I’ve been playing nice!”
“Surprise sweet stuff, so have I!”
I can see Hermes facepalming in the other room…
Anne isn’t the Hulk, and Loki isn’t Tom Hiddleston.
Anne, you’re not the Hulk. And this isn’t Tom Hiddleston.
He may not be that Loki, but he’ll be twice as satisfying to beat down.
The point is that he’s not about to go down with a “Puny god!”
But he will go down. Anne won’t give up with her friends on the line, and it’s not like they can just kill off the title character of this series.
Oh I KNOW the laws of narrative say that Anne has to win and Loki has to lose, I’m just hoping for an alt-verse were Loki wins or the magic Anne unleashes to fix things CREATES an alt-verse where her friends being reincarnations of gods is NATURAL.
I think Robyn and her future husband would both be much happier staying in this alt reality. She can finally use magic and gets to enjoy the other perks of being the Goddess of Love and Beauty. Since we haven’t seen Robyn in 10 months, it’s safe to assume she’s enjoying her new life way too much to get involved in any plot to end it.
Laws of Narrative require that Anne lose this initial encounter before learning how to overcome this obstacle and growing as a person somehow. And, yes, I wouldn’t mind seeing an alternate “bad end” where Hermès and Loki win.
