Loki: A Tragic Shakespearean Villain
In this chapter, the speakers discuss the importance of Loki in the early days of Marvel and how he was the reason for the Avengers assembling. They talk about how Loki is an interesting and important character because he is a villain with an emotional point, particularly in the movie Thor. They mention how Loki's trickster sensibilities spiral out of control due to emotional trauma and how he is written as a tragic Shakespearean archetype.
