Marvel: Kills Loki horribly, fucks up IW, is generally a hot mess. 

Me, on my way to fanfic land: 

Marvel: Okay, but how about a Loki TV show starring Tom Hiddleston? 

Me: 

Marvel at all of us:

I’m extremely skeptical about the motivations here; it feels very cynical – like the outcry about Loki’s death in IW alerted Marvel to how invested his fanbase was, and they decided they’d capitalize on that to convince people to buy their new streaming service. If they already decided to do this before IW came out and they saw the reaction (which they might have; I don’t know how long it takes to negotiate something like this) I would be somewhat less skeptical.

I’m still not buying anything from Marvel until I find out what they’re doing with Loki in Avengers 4. If I’m not impressed, then I’m pirating the Loki TV series rather than buying Disney’s streaming service.
