Loopias

Loopias is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the 2018 animated film *Loopers*, directed by Guillaume Brac. The film is a French-Canadian production that blends elements of science fiction, comedy, and adventure. Loopias is a young inventor and hacker who lives in a futuristic city plagued by environmental collapse and societal chaos. His name is a playful portmanteau of "loop" and "alias," reflecting his role as a trickster and problem-solver.

The character is portrayed as resourceful, witty, and deeply concerned with the well-being of his community. Loopias operates within a dystopian world where technology has both advanced and deteriorated, creating a society that relies on scavenged and jury-rigged machinery. His intelligence and ingenuity allow him to navigate this harsh environment, often outsmarting more powerful antagonists. The film emphasizes themes of environmentalism, innovation, and the importance of community, as Loopias works alongside a diverse group of allies to restore order and sustainability.

Loopias’s design is distinct, featuring a hooded, layered outfit that conceals his identity while allowing him to move freely through the city’s ruins. His character is voiced by French actor Benjamin Jungers, who brings a youthful yet determined energy to the role. The film’s animation style is a mix of 3D and 2D techniques, giving it a unique, gritty aesthetic that complements its dystopian setting.

While *Loopers* is not widely known outside of niche animation circles, Loopias remains a memorable figure for fans of unconventional storytelling and visually striking animated films. The character’s journey highlights the power of creativity and resilience in the face of adversity, making him a compelling symbol of hope in a broken world.
