Tom Hiddleston aka Loki is my role model

By Shreya Wason

Thomas William Hiddleston (born 9 February 1981) is an English actor. He gained international fame portraying Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) starting with THOR 2011 and most recently headlining the Disney+ series LOKI since 2021.

Loki Laufeyson is also known by adaptation as Loki Odinson and by his title as the God of Mischief. As in the comics, Loki is the adopted brother and nemesis a master of Asgardian magic and sorcery and a supervillain who regularly returns from apparent death. Loki’s jealousy of Thor for being the crown prince of Asgard brings them into conflict and follows a failed plot to take the Asgardian throne for himself.

Loki attempts to conquer Earth by subjugating humanity inadvertently resulting in the formation of Avengers. Though he is defeated and imprisoned, Loki manages to replace his adoptive father Odin as the ruler of Asgard.

He becomes an anti-hero when he aids Thor in saving Asgard from Hela (Goddess of Death) but is killed by Thanos (An alien) soon after. A variant from 2012 is later recruited by the Time Variance Authority (TVA) which claims to govern the order of time.

Later Loki encounters a female variant and ultimately sacrifices himself to save the multiversal dissolution.

You may all be wondering why she chose him. Why is she a fan of a fictional or cartoon character? The answer to these questions is only us.

What I mean to say is that there’s always a good and a bad side, not everyone good is ever truly good and not everyone bad is ever truly bad. I mean we sometimes feel that “Oh I want that I am going to get that no matter what ” or feel jealous like “Why this guy is getting appreciated than me I have also done so much”.

And even sometimes our family can make us feel that we are not good enough or we have no purpose in life or why were we even born, but sometimes we have to believe in ourselves that “I will prove that I can be successful” because they only want us to be happy and grow in our life.

Also sometimes when we are successful in our life we think now no one can be my equal I am the one who has been through so much now all are beneath me that narcissistic feeling also comes which almost destroys us and brings every sin in ourselves like anger, jealousy, pain, greed, etc.

Watching Loki has taught me there’s no single moment when you can’t change yourself and change others around you the only power greater in the universe is love and sacrifice without these powers you will be able to grow and change.

So, in conclusion, I would like to say that Loki played by Tom Hiddleston has made me realise that “ Life is what gives you meaning”. If we’re born in this world then we have a meaning we just have to find out and work hard on it. Also we can change ourselves if we’re determined to do that and we shouldn’t forget that to give love to everyone around you!
