Seriously.
Being Influenced is quite different from being straight up mind controlled.

Too lazy to get pics, but when he first appeared from the portal in Avengers he looked like he just got done running a marathon or stayed up for a couple of days.
I mean, I thought it was obvious he was being influenced by something considering his characterization is different compared to his other apperences in Thor 1/2/3 and IW.
Yuck, don't ruin his arc
Darth Vader also was mind controlled by a long lasting Sith Mind Trick - Disney
The official poster for Thor 2 in China was vaguely hinting at that, though.
Loki is complex, dude possessed the body of his brother's girlfriend just to fuck with him. But when asgard and the universe was in danger he is one of the first to step up in his own way

Exactly, people are acting as if this removes agency from Loki or somehow justifies his actions. But that's not the point, the point is he's still him, just a slightly more "the worst" version of him. This is readily apparent if you compare his characterisation in the movies preceding and following The Avengers.Isn't the whole point that the stone when in the scepter, at least, fuels negative emotion? This is why when all the heroes are in the same room as it they begin to fight and seriously escalate - Banner reaching for the Scepter, Fury his gun, Stark and Rogers offering a fist fight to each other?
Like, it says it influenced Loki, not controlled him. We know he has sociopathic, psychotic tendencies. They're his. The stone just exaggerated them.
Yea, and then him basically having a a vision or some kind of trance where he's being talked to by Thanos's little lacky, and then the guy touches his head. Loki looked sickly with veins on his face, wicked past with dark bags.
Does not look like that in thor 2 and Ragnarok.
Arriving at the Sanctuary through a wormhole caused by the Bifrost, Loki met the Other, ruler of the ancient race of extraterrestrials the Chitauri, and Thanos. Offering the God of Mischief dominion over his brother's favorite realm Earth, Thanos requested the Tesseract in return. Gifted with a Scepter that acted as a mind control device, Loki would be able to influence others. Unbeknownst to him, the Scepter was also influencing him, fueling his hatred over his brother Thor and the inhabitants of Earth.
Nah, gotta speed right into that Loki solo movie.Why? It'd be better to just show him struggling with his past. No need to try to wave it away.
1) the corrupting influence has to do with the 'refocusing' that the scepter does. It's why the scepter corrupts everyone in the "You're all so petty...and tiny" scene on the helicarrier, and possibly why Ultron is a corrupted being (because his design came from the scepter's output).1) Why doesn't the Mind Stone negatively influence anyone when Vision is around?
2) Why the fuck did Thanos willingly give Loki an Infinity Stone? I can't remember what was the motivation behind attacking Earth in Avengers 1 tbh.
