The next… chapter? Did Tom just secretly confirm that Loki isn’t dead after all?!
I’m still skeptical. It could be a very short “chapter,” and the sense in which it “honors what has come before” might just be that Loki is a boring “good guy” now and recognizes that his only purpose in life is to sacrifice himself for Thor (again). And he does say “it will be surprising for the audience in terms of what they expect next” – which could be code for, “Surprise! He dies in the first 5 minutes, way more stupidly than you ever would have expected him to, and that’s it for your favorite character.”
Yeah I am extremely skeptical that this “you’ll be surprised” nonsense is anything but a red herring. I’m still not 100% certain we’ll even see Loki in A4; has anyone seen any other set pictures besides the one? Remember he was supposed to have a cameo in AoU and that ended up getting cut. I’m maintaining a zero faith policy tbh, all this theorizing is frankly giving Marvel too much credit. Maybe the new fan campaign to bring Loki back will work, maybe it won’t, but odds are even if it does they’ll just let writers/directors who don’t like him or understand him continue to butcher his character.
Oh yeah, fair point about the AoU scene. And I completely agree about the zero faith policy. Except for “Spider-Man” and “Black Panther,” all the MCU movies that have come out since 2016 have been huge disappointments. And I absolutely do not trust anyone there with Loki’s character.
