Talk:Loki

message: Um...   what happened to Loki being Odin's son?  That is true in the movie Son of the Mask, was in this article (from non-movie sources, of course) when I first read it around two years ago (complete rewrite since then), and is known by the majority of people I talk to who have heard of Loki (most of whom have not seen Son of the Mask) as well as in 2 novels I have read (I forget the names because I do not own the books).
This article, although highly encyclopedic in it's form of prose, is a very poor article.  Gods of any tradition (except for modern monotheism) have all kinds of legends, myths, and tales surrounding them.  A 3-or-4-page line-by-line recount of Loki's conversation when he incites riot in just one poem, for example, is not only highly unnecessary but also highly annoying.  A simple paragraph such as, ~"After a whole bunch of events and tales which are mentioned prior to this paragraph], the poem [name of poem] says that Loki came to a dinner [wasn't invited blah blah] and started insulting every god he could think of in order to purposely cause chaos.  As a result of this, according o the poem, he was bound[...].  However, this poem mentions many recounted tales during the argument (such as when Loki says "[caught whoever doing whatever]") where the tale mentioned is not actually recounted by any source we know of."~  It is probably rare to say an encyclopedic entry is too long, but this article is way too long...   or perhaps just that so much of what is written is extremely overly specific and should not be written there.  For example an article about the movie The Matrix would not recount the entire script!
:Well, we're not dealing with films / novels in the article. If you check the kenningar in Skaldskaparmal c.16, you will find a lot of information in the answer to "What is Loki to be called?", including "son of Farbauti and Laufeyja (...) blood-friend and father-brother of the aesir, Odin's fellow in seat and journey" etc. And in Gylfaginning c.33 you'll find the same more or less. I personally can't share your criticism about this article. Trigaranus (talk) 12:31, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

text: Agree, I fully expected the 90s film "The Mask" starring Jim Carrey to be here. More than just a nebulous mention in a song lyric, he's an integral part of the story, this old relic washes ashore and is deemed to be related to old Norse culture, where "Loki" is deemed "the Night God of Mischief" it is after this point Stanley discovers the mask only works at night. Also, in Norse folklore, Loki is often referred to as a,"shape shifter", we see evidence of this in all the crazy cartoon like manifestations of Stanleys suppressed "personalities" and the same is seen in Dorian the villain, and even Milo the dog. Though Loki is only mentioned briefly, he's a huge part of the film plot, and given The Mask was an absolute blockbuster, I'm surprised it is not mentioned in the Modern Culture section and I feel Wiki should revise that.

message: :It's pretty obvious, isn't it? He is called "originator of deceits" and "disgrace of all gods and men". He is also the father of Hel_(being) and therefore Hel_(location), as in: the one who brought death into the world, hell itself. He is also the father of the world serpent Jörmungandr who kills Thor, and the wolf Fenrir who kills Odin.
:In the Lokasenna (in this article) Loki is literally Satan. He is the accuser, the slanderer, the liar, as in: the father of lies (the "originator of deceits").
:Thor refers to him as an "evil creature".
:And then there is his alternative name, Loptr. Since most experts agree that the name stems from Old Norse lopt, meaning air, there is yet another indication that Loki is indeed the devil. In the Bible, the devil is alternatively called "prince of the power of the air". Remember that many stories in the Bible are based on older mythologies (i.e. Sumerian).
:Also, Loki is a shapeshifter. He did appear as a fly. Beelzebub, the "lord of the flies", is another name for the devil. 178.201.17.154 (talk) 01:02, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: First off you are making the point as if Satan is a real thing and Loki is a representation of that, whereas WP does not hold that stance. So in the end you are talking about two completely different mythologies. At best this is WP:SYNTH. If you have sources that make this connection then maybe they could be added. But I would be against it in this article. Perhaps a separate article about all mythologies with these kinds of characters. Again, they would all need sources that make the connections of course. Colincbn (talk) 01:24, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The article does mention that Sophus Bugge theorized (in the 19th century) that Loki is Lucifer. This theory isn't largely accepted by specialists anymore. The only times I've read any mention of this is in Simek's dictionary, and Régis Boyer's French translation of the Poetic Edda, and they both disagree with the comparison. The other specialized books I've read don't even feel the need to mention that old theory.--Munin75 (talk) 05:19, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

text: Loki also specifically accuses and slanders the Aesir. Satan is most often understood to be a slanderer against humanity, but in the Book of Revelation it is made clear that Satan slanders the angels in heaven - see Revelation 12:10. Just as Loki accuses the Aesir, Satan accuses the angels. 178.201.17.154 (talk) 05:20, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There are 3 main enemies of God and humanity mentioned in the Book of Revelation who play a major role during the end time: the Dragon (Satan), the Beast from the Sea and the Beast from the Earth.

And Fenrir (literally a Beast from the Earth) comes free and kills Odin.178.201.17.154 (talk) 05:41, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Any percieved similarities you see between the Norse myths and the Bible is irrelevant in connection with Wikipedia, as such a method would be original research. Per policy you will need to present reliable secondary sources that presents this theory of yours. As Munin75 mentions above, the only noteworthy example of this is the 19th century theory which has long since been abandonded by scholars, and is already covered in the article. --Saddhiyama (talk) 10:42, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Loki is the devil and Satan 

message: I'm struggling to find sources discussing the other possible theory of Loki's origin, that he developed out of the figure now known as Útgarða-Loki.  It neatly explains why there is a vagueness as to whether Loki is a god or a giant/jotunn, and why there is no evidence he was actually worshipped.  Both are trickster figures, too.  According to the page on Útgarða-Loki, in Gesta Danorum, a figure called "Utgarthilocus"  lies chained and tortured in a cave like Loki, another odd link between the two figures.Kaid100 (talk) 02:52, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Loki and Útgarða-Loki

message: This article seems to cover everything there is to know about Loki, but one thing. Where did Loki's power originate? He seems to be by far the most powerful of the Jotuns. Not only that, his power and influence is on par with Odin's, the leader of the Aesir. In fact, Loki is able to change the course of destiny. He fathers Fenrir, and all what the Aesir can do about it, is to bind the wolf. But they can't change the fact that Fenrir WILL kill Odin on Ragnarok. Odin, the most powerful of the Aesir, cannot prevent his own death by Loki (as the father of Fenrir). The same goes for Jormungandr. The Aesir cannot prevent Thor's death. They cannot bring back Baldur from Hel. They can't prevent or revert these things. Why not just kill the children of Loki and prevent all that from happening? Again, it seems that Loki is so powerful that he can change the course of destiny. He fathered Fenrir and from that moment on it was clear, and nothing could alter it, that Fenrir WILL kill Odin. It is destined that Odin will be killed. 88.153.214.148 (talk) 02:39, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing explanation 

message: I have removed a large assortment of miscellaneous use of the name Loki in popular culture which appeared without any references. This section had multiple problems, a lack of external sources and a very shallow and unencyclopedic structure. It is important when dealing with the uses of historical and literary figures to explain, using third party, independent sources, why such borrowings are important. It doesn't realy matter that a character loosely based on Loki appeared in this or that comic book, and puts undue emphasis on pop-culture which in relation to the wider subject is only a minor concern. If serious academic study or critisim of the literature (read: comics and film) sheds some light on how Loki is used by these authors, then we can cite that, or if the authors in question have gone on record talking about their influences and specifically mention  the mythological Loki, then we can cite that. I do specifically recall reading Neil Gaiman discussing his version of the character Thor, so he may well have mentioned Loki. It's worth doing the research to find these kind of sources, as it will improve the article. Otherwise there is no real reason to keep unsourced, largely trivial information.

message: I believe the section heading "Attestations" is misused. In fact, the word is in direct contradiction to the subject matter.
From Merriam Webster:

b : an official verification of something as true or authentic
2 : the proof or evidence by which something (such as the usage of a word) is attested
We are not pretending Loki is anything more than a mythical, supernatural being, are we? The word "attestation" is being applied to the literature recounting this being, but could also be misconstrued as proving the existence of the article's eponymous construct.

message: I fully expected the 90s film "The Mask" starring Jim Carrey to be here. Loki is an integral part of the story, the old wooden/metal "mask" relic washes ashore, and after a bout of chaos, this mask is later deemed to be related to old Norse culture, representing "Loki", where upon he is described as "the Night God of Mischief". It is after this point Stanley (Carrey) discovers the mask only works at night. Also, in Norse folklore, Loki is often referred to as a "shape shifter", we see evidence of this in all the crazy cartoon like manifestations of Stanleys suppressed "personalities", the same is seen in Dorian the villain, and even Milo the dog. Though Loki is only mentioned briefly, he's a huge part of the film plot, and given The Mask was an absolute blockbuster, I'm surprised it is not mentioned in the Modern Culture section and I feel the Wiki geeks should consider revising that. Thanks for reading :) Chaz x 2A02:C7C:D84B:5900:6EF6:325D:B079:7B9E (talk) 05:18, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Not done: This is the article about the Norse god. There is already a mention of the Marvel character in the "Modern popular culture" section; adding more would be off topic. Liu1126 (talk) 16:10, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
