If you notice, they made it very subtle, but watching it multiple times, the real loki walks in without a sound effect, while the 2nd loki in the scene on the gate gets a woosh souind. And then the illusion goes to the middle while real loki walks through the gates after that
Considering how loki loves to be an attention diva as well its a double layered trick, you think is in the center of the fact and bam he double gets you.
Well, actually, that's the best part about illusion magic. He could be doing words and gestures to do the big stuff, but hiding them under a minor illusion that makes it look like he isn't.
pretty sure he is using more magic here bc the old loki he met in the last season showed him where his true strengths lay. he is an illusionist and trickster, and as such he will be more powerful with that (and his other magic) than the blades he was always using previously.
Classic Loki's final stunt also helped in that. When Loki and Sylvie were checking it out, Sylvie wonders how the heck the old man is doing that, and Loki in realization answers "I think we are stronger than we realize". In the immediate time it helps them to use Sylvie's power on Alioth, but on the long run I think it helps Loki to push his own boundries further.
This is how he should have been through the entirety of his time in the MCU! Regardless of who his allies were at the moment, we should have always been guessing and just a little intimidated. Instead of the God of Magic, or the Trickster God, we got a con artist and a turncoat most of the time. Not a bad character, but he could have been SO MUCH MORE.
Well can you blame him? He was literally pulled out of his life by the organization that rules all of time, and then shown everything he was meant to be
Yeah, they entirely forgot the fact that he is an asguardian , god, a frostgiant, and equally stronger and smarter than Thor, they made him a joke in the original timeline
i think they may have been what they were trying to show in the loki tv show how great he could have been if he was not put on the path that he was by the TVA
@@Burning_the_toast and this guy is also a normal human, but without an arc reactor in his chest or armor. In the same movie, Loki also man handled a room full of SHIELD agents whose bullets just bounced off him, was strong enough to fist cuff with Thor and able to actually put a blade into him, physically overpowered captain america who does has super strength, and took a beating form the Hulk and didn't even get a broken bone. Whatever you smoked, stop, it can't be good for you.
He was supposed to have been like this all along. He just stopped using his powers and got turned into comic relief after the NY invasion. Bad writing for almost all of it, and for him in season 1. 😅
@@Sunless1337, you're Right & Wrong. The ONLY way Loki *WOULD'VE* beaten the Avengers is by splitting them up and turn them Against eachother. And loki almost did it but the avengers had something to fight for and they ended up fighting together and they won.💯 And the avengers ended up splitting up because of baron zemo in captain america: civil war
I didn't say anything about him beating the Avengers, but he's not just a God of deception. His magic powers, for combat, are much stronger than in the MCU. They focused on his powers of illusion, but not the rest of his powers. The reduced him to a shell of what he should have been, because it was funny, and essentially removed him from the role of being any serious serious concern after his debut. Season 1 of Loki he ridiculously only used his powers to throw a random appliance/store product at a Loki-controlled normal human (who somehow was overpowering normal Loki physically). @@OTristian

Motherfucker realises his magical potential (albeit with some help) and can literally make time his bitch, as well as remake the fucking multiverse. How does the show not display his competency in magic?!? It starts with him mainly fighting with weapons, with some magic, then he gradually learns to use his magic more, until the aforementioned end level of his abilities.
He's not supposed to go overboard with It otherwise he creates branches. But he does use lots of different magic in the show, not just illusions. Heck, at the end of the show he does something that is far beyond anything else we've seen in the MCU.
@@ThePipojp Are we watching the same show because literally 99% of all the magic Real Loki has done has been illusions, then near the end there was the spacial/time manipulation but really that was like the last episode and only 2 or so scenes. But what I really mean by being competent with magic is that for one Loki is a few hundred years old even before the show, and he is a sorcerer not a warrior so you would think that Loki would be capable of more then just illusions after all that time - I'm not asking for Doctor Strange vs Thanos levels just more diversity. Some Ideas of the stuff he could/should be able to do. - Telekinesis - Mind Reading (proper) - Astral Projection - Hard light Illusions - Mind control (basic levels 1 person or so, not enchantress fem-Loki levels) - Some form of energy projection spells like the lasso, bolts etc - Transmogrification abilitys turning into animals etc
@@LineOfThy Thats the problem he is over 500 years old and is meant to be a god of magic and trickery but he can literally only do one or two minor things. It just doesn't make sense and when you also consider the Odins wife was Loki's teacher in magic and she was meant to be and Incredibly powerful sorceress an almost equivalent to the Ancient One in some respects. Its just dumb that he can't do anything else, it doesn't even need to be powerful but just being able to do multiple things like create fire, manipulate earth, Telekinesis etc. A more jack of all master of none type deal compared to Thor who is a Master of Lightning, and with Loki being able to do stuff like that it could really play into his god of trickery as he does 'tricks'
If you HAVE the advantage and CAN fight unfair... Hell, the only thing stopping you there would be how noble you are... Fair to say, Loki might be working in the best interest for the many here... But he still operate like a villain. And Villains never fight fair. XD
also: fighting fair is how you lose. if you want to be noble just dont break their bones or kill them when you trap em and beat em up. giving your opponent an advantadge is just dumb
People forget, after Hulk and half of the other Avengers kicked Loki around: He's really, really powerful. He's the God of Mischief and Chaos. He was trained in illusions and charms by FRIGGA.
You know after all that time in the TVA, Loki being able to use his powers unrestrained on some asshole who can't stop him must have been Sooooooo cathartic.
the fair fight line always makes me chuckle, only times a fight must be fair is on sports, when people are fighting outside a ring, then everything goes, id rather fuck up someone who is trying to harm me than be injured myself
It's also a line always spoken by someone who wanted to win by not fighting fairly, then realised they'd been outplayed. He was initially trying to beat an unarmed guy to death with a pipe, but bitched it was unfair when Loki used magic to make his illusions.
i don't know why this scene i enjoyed so much of seeing Tom the actor, was like acting way, a very typical for British spy movie moment (like James Bond). is hard for my brain to think this is actually just Loki series... Spoken in British English, gentleman wearing a Tuxedo and steady moved with swift. Oohhh, my brain switched in a moment. Excellent. While for Owen Wilson also the same, my brain suddenly hinted back his very typical Texas American slang like of a cowboy... Now i felt more like a Cowboy and a British Spy is on a team up mission to reset timeline here. what is my brain thinking after all.
He’s using the only superpower that no other power can possibly match. The truly vast landscape of the power of stupid. It’s infinite - but not terribly useful.
Damn! Where was this Loki during fights with Avengers? I mean Thor would try to talk him out but others would definitely go for the kill instead of arrest.
whats so funny about the duplicate illusions here is where they first show up. if you follow which of the three lokis are real, hes literally just leaving duplicates in escape routes
Loki has a lot more potential, and I think they really downplayed his true power. They should have showcased him using his powers like this a lot more.
Did you not see series one? A loki variant did. Possibly more than one. The one we know about, he got sad and lonely living alone and went to find Thor, so got pruned.
Imagine if an illusion of him is holding the timeline together, or he's every variant, everywhere, all at once. He doesn't have to 100% consciously holding those threads. There's enough of his consciousness to explore.
i like how not all the illusions have shadows, so you THINK it has to be one with a shadow, but then the one in the middle doesn't have a shadow so maybe he's just hiding it? but no, layers man
Okay I need to say this there no such thing as a fair fight there's just you and them either you win and live or loose and die fair has nothing to do with it
Why didn’t he use that with cap I think the writers don’t really know what abilities he has or even care about it they just give him random abilities at random times sometimes he can only fight with knives sometimes he uses illusions
@@aaronwan479after his encounter with classic Loki and the other loki’s he probably realised how powerful a Loki truly can become and started diving deeper into the true potential of his magic and abilities

Gotta appreciate the subtle trickery of letting the illusion take center stage, as potential bait.
If you notice, they made it very subtle, but watching it multiple times, the real loki walks in without a sound effect, while the 2nd loki in the scene on the gate gets a woosh souind. And then the illusion goes to the middle while real loki walks through the gates after that
Ikr I love that one.
he also gave the side lokis shadows that weren't accurate while centre loki's was, he had to remove his shadow to do that
It also really shows how Loki has grown. He would've never let an illusion take centre stage before
Considering how loki loves to be an attention diva as well its a double layered trick, you think is in the center of the fact and bam he double gets you.
I love this scene. When Loki is seriously tracking you, you have nowhere to go.
Yep, it can get pretty scary. He can be pretty intimidating for a powerful god.
"Fight fair!"
"But I'm trying *not* to rip you in half, and that's a lot harder without magic."
The best part of Loki's magic has always been the zero need to put an effort to use it. It's never with a motion or a word it just happens.
its not like its cartoon, for kids, like anime lol
@@aya-.-1351 or almost every thing involving magic that's ever been made

Loki should use his magic more often, not just illusions
It's important to remind the writers that the character they write have abilities.
@@bestliutrIt really raises the question how he could loose THAT easily to Thanos with the abilities he showed in this series.
@@tome7998 he's got stronger with his magic throughout the series, the Loki that lost to Thanos didn't.
Remember that Disney owns the MCU. Thanos had the same plot armor that makes lightsabers that can easily remove limbs merely cause flesh wounds.
@@tome7998because the writers needed him to lose?
pretty sure he is using more magic here bc the old loki he met in the last season showed him where his true strengths lay. he is an illusionist and trickster, and as such he will be more powerful with that (and his other magic) than the blades he was always using previously.
They really gave Loki a badass power boost here, and I loved it. He never really displayed it again.
I think due to old loki's advise our loki has become more experimental with his magic and illusions

You’re maybe right👍
Classic Loki's final stunt also helped in that. When Loki and Sylvie were checking it out, Sylvie wonders how the heck the old man is doing that, and Loki in realization answers "I think we are stronger than we realize".

ok

Even if he fought fair I don’t think he could handle a asgardian
