One more problem with Ragnarok

If they wanted to tell a story about how Odin abused one of his children for imperialist purposes, why didn’t they just use the character who fit that description who already existed instead of inventing a new one out of whole cloth?

Because it would have taken the spotlight of their precious Saakar and their toilet humor. If Loki would have being the antagonist, the movie would have being driven to Tom no matter what, becasue he is… A better actor than Chris. Period. Just like RDJ is better actor than Evans and CW was more driven by his performance. He couldn’t have Loki taking the spotlight and actually delivering something close to deep, even as an antagonist.

Instead of that TW brought one of the best actress of her generation, made hype around her because she was strange to Marvel and would create more fans… And put her in a role so empty that it makes me angry in her behalf as an actress myself.

Ragnarok could of been so much better but they got writers and a director who wanted to push Loki/Tom aside. One thing that still has me upset are some of the pictures of the cast. It’s all of them except Tom. Makes me wonder if he really was happy with that movie. Since TDW when they brought Loki back from the dead, Marvel has been wanting him out. It’s evident with IW. Taika Waititi has such a love for Chris, that it I could see that Loki’s sl was never going to play out like it should of. Its bad when Marvel won’t get directors and writers that actually do care for a character and just favor some characters over others. No way are they ever going to bring Loki to the front of the main characters. Even if he is loved more and has more fans. 

^This! I noticed, too, that Tom is noticeably absent from a lot of Ragnarok bts media. But they sure paraded him around exhaustively during IW press(not that I’ll complain about the opportunity to see him as often as possible). Almost like they knew if we knew ahead of time that his role was only a few minutes long, we wouldn’t care about IW as much. This is just MY opinion, of course.
