The thing is, I think Loki's intelligence, cunning and well, immorality would actually make him a pretty good politician and allow for some interesting political speed chess with Asgard's neighbours and some complex character interaction. I'd be interested in the movie that lets that play out. If they make it so he…

Where's that from? It looks like somebody riffing off of that awesome movie, Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth. The one where the fountain doesn't just de-age Indy, but actually sends him back to World War II. There's that awesome shot where Harrison Ford raises the cup with the youth potion in it...and Karl…
