Keyword: COMPLEXITY

@lokiloveforever @kaori04 @lucianalight @whitedaydream @latent-thoughts @mastreworld @shine-of-asgard @lasimo74allmyworld and everyone who hates the oversimplification of Loki’s character in Gagnarok.

This sounds positive, maybe, I hope? I don’t think they’re going to achieve the same level of depth and complexity with Thanos that Loki has reached, but maybe this is a good sign they’ll let Loki’s true colors fly?

This is good, right? Or promising, at least.

“What appeals to my brother and me about movies in general, characters in general, is the complexity that you can find within them. People aren’t simply this or simply that. Loki is a great example — somebody who is torn in two directions.”

It’s a big middle finger to Waititi’s “Loki is just a rich kid from outer space and we shouldn’t give a shit about his own problems”. 😏

Thank you @yume-no-fantasy for tagging me.

Yep! TW must take notes.

Personally I’m not worried that much about Loki’s characterization. From what I saw in Winter Soldier and Civil War, Russo borthers are good at understanding the characters. Especially I like their portrayal of Natasha more than her portayal in Avengers1,2. My worries are Thor and Loki relationship and Loki’s fate. I hope they either show that their dynamic is not right, or give them a proper reconciliation, but I don’t think they have time for that in the movie with all these characters. And for the love of everything good in the world: Please Don’t Kill Loki!

I like that they’re taking this seriously, but I sort of don’t like how their mind went to Thanos (their own complex villain) when asked about Loki (a character they’ve never written for before).

Agree with @shine-of-asgard about Thanos. Their attempts to draw our attention to him is kinda getting annoying… BUT also intrigues me? May be we are going to walk out of cinema sympathising with Thanos?? That would be a plot twist no one was prepared for.

But to be honest it more looks like Marvel is taking their new direction “making more interesting villains” too seriously and pushing and forcing it to the point when their  “sympathic villain” is going to annoy and frustrate more than just a regular marvel villain.

My hope is that in order to show Thanos’ intelligence, he must have an intelligent conversation… With somebody… And it doesn’t seem likely that he’ll do that with any Avengers or any Black Order members… See what I’m getting at?

[SPOILER ALERT]

@shine-of-asgard

In one of his interviews in China Tom actually said that there will be a “very interesting conversation” between Loki and Thanos.

Don’t do this to me. A storyline for Loki where he gets to play a reluctant double agent who’s maybe seeing the logic on both sides of the argument while fearing for his life and also that of his brother on the other side of war, and also while dealing with the idea that his brother has denounced him as a traitor for good this time is too precious to put into words. Bye.

If, like Tom says in one of his interviews, Marvel takes Thor and Loki to be closer than ever at the start of IW, how about instead of misunderstanding and doubting Loki again, this time we have Thor trust and believe in Loki unconditionally even if he doesn’t know what Loki’s reasons are for his apparent betrayal? He worries about Loki’s safety, and at the end of the day when they reunite, the both of them very much alive, he hugs and tells his brother, “You’re here and that’s all that matters.”
