> this person made fan art of the character Loki from the Marvel films
Where are you getting that from? The only artwork I see linked in the takedown request on Twitter is the words "Low Key" in a generic-looking font.
Is there a fan art of the Marvel character someplace that I'm not seeing?
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Where are you getting that from? The creator specifically says it waa a comic reference, so technically (1) the word “movie” is incorrect and it should be “comic”, but (2) the larger point is correct: it was fan art of the Marvel (Disney subsidiary) property explicitly trading on the name of the character which is a trademark (the name of the work is “Low Key Loki”). This isn't a use outside of the trademarked context, or to refer to the preexisting mythological character, or a phrase which is simply similar coincidentally.
- agency 5y agoIf you can't tell it was a comic reference without the creator specifically saying so, is it really "trading on the name of the character"?
- Retric 5y agoPresumably the wrong comic: “calling himself Low Key Lyesmith” as a reference to Loki. https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Loki_(American_Gods) https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Loki_(American_Gods) That’s in American Gods published by Dark Horse comics not Marvel/Disney.
- bena 5y agoIt's not exactly a huge revelation to realize that "low key" and "Loki" are homophones. It's also quite possible that he made the shirt to reference Marvel Loki without ever having read the American Gods comic.
- danShumway 5y agoKind of a bold claim to say that a comic book reference is the same thing as fan art of a character.
