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”. 😏
Isn’t anything that constitutes decent writing and character development going to be a big middle finger to Ragnarok, though?
Here’s what I imagined happened…
MCU: “Just, you know, do whatever you want…as long as it ends with Thor and Loki on good terms, right before Thanos’ ship shows up.”
TAIKA: “Okay then.” (Makes Ragnarok)
MCU: “Oh wow, yeah…okay. Maybe we should have been more specific.”
I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
