11 | !!Tropes appearing in this short |
12 | |
13 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Among Loki's crimes are tampering with the sacred timeline, philosophically opposing predeterminism, crossing over into forbidden areas of Disney+, taking up two spots in the WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks parking lot]], being more popular than all the heroes, having a British accent when he's supposed to be from Norway, promising to be good then breaking his promise countless times, and [[AllThereInTheStinger making them sit through numerous mid-credit scenes hoping they'll advance the story]]. |
14 | * BigNo: Loki does this after hearing that he'll be banished to Springfield. |
15 | * BirdsOfAFeather: Other than both being mischievous, Loki and Bart start to bond when they realize that they both have abusive fathers and blonde siblings who are perfect. |
16 | * ContinuityCameo: |
17 | ** Heimdall, Sif, Fandral, and Thor appear alongside Odin in Asgard. |
18 | ** In Springfield, Marge appears in the episode but doesn’t say anything or add to the plot in any way, and numerous Springfielders cameo in the “Springfield Avengers” scene and/or the final scene at Moe’s. |
19 | * {{Crossover}}: Between ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, but primarily ''Series/{{Loki|2021}}''. |
20 | * CreativeClosingCredits: The credits features images of Simpsons characters as Marvel characters. |
21 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: Loki is finally happy to be part of a family. |
22 | * GreenAesop: Loki impersonates Moe to give everyone free beer, then berates them for the ecological damage they're causing. Barney simply replies "Still worth it." |
23 | * MisplacedAccent: One of the TVA's charges against Loki is [[TheQueensLatin "having a British accent when [Loki's] actually supposed to be from Norway".]] |
24 | * MythologyGag: Hans Moleman is the only character to represent a Marvel character who actually hasn't been adapted into the Cinematic Universe at the time: specifically, the Mole Man from the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' comics (an MCU adaptation of the Fantastic Four has been confirmed to be coming, however). Rainer Wolfcastle also wears the classic comic book version of Hank Pym's Giant-Man costume rather than something MCU-inspired. |

31 | * SelfDeprecation: Among the Springfield Avengers is Rainier Wolfcastle as Giant-Man holding up a sign saying "This is what happens when Disney buys Marvel and Fox". |
32 | * TheStinger: In a nod to the MCU, the short features three mid-credit and post-credit scenes. |
33 | ** Loki gives out free beers to everyone at Moe's. |
34 | ** Ralph reenacts the famous "Hulk Smash" of Loki from ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''. |
