So I was on /co/ and this thread about some Tumblr girl saying she doesn’t need to read the comics to be a fan of Loki was creating a pretty even response to the issue. I agree that you don’t have to be a fan of the comics to enjoy the movie, but it doesn’t hurt to get some more backstory on a character if you really like them; and also that he probably has a lot of fans because he’s ‘hotttt’, which is what the image is responding to as well.
Case in point after watching Iron Man I really got into the latest issues of his story and I have volumes 1-4 of Invicible Iron Man because I’ve really enjoyed the story that’s being told so far. It also helped spring board me onto other comic series but that’s another issue.
I just wanted to screen cap this comment because a) it’s hilarious and b) it’s for my friend. =3
