A couple of thoughts I had after I listened to this interview by Russos:
– If you’re killing off a character, and audience doesn’t believe it, you’re doing something wrong.
– If you’re killing off a character, and have to break the 4th wall by using another character as your voice to tell the audience this is true, you’re doing something wrong.
– If you have to do the previous twice, you’re doing something wrong.
– If you have to kill of 7/8 of a race to make your character more interesting and human, you’re doing something wrong.
– If you think you have to kill the character to complete their arc, you’re wrong.
All of this infuriates me. You can’t just ignore the fact that Loki has a huge fanbase just because you don’t want them to exist, especially when they are partially responsible for the success of the franchise.
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.
