i was watching this video on why the simpsons is bad these days and somethin was said that really resonated with me and my opinions on the events of infinity war.
The quote was,
“It’s unfair to punish the audience for caring about the characters, and investing in them.”
Which is just an eensy teensy little bit how i felt with how they went about loki in IW
Clearly they think we’re all just airheaded fake geek girls who should take our ridiculous crushes on Tom Hiddleston elsewhere.
“I could eat you right now.”
I won’t add anything else, you decide the hows and whys. And above all, when.
My vote is on the very first scene of Avenger 4, because we deserve it.
Ok, I get it, we’re all very sad in the Thorki fandom, but can we please start churning out fix-its? No more fics about Thor crying over Loki. Please, I beg you! JUST GIVE HIM LOKI BACK OH MY GOD!
I feel I have the right to say this since I wrote a thing where he gets Loki back.
Yeah… I don’t think I can write fix-it fic, at least not yet, because I’m pretty sure it’s not going to turn out any better than we’ve seen. The theories about why Loki is still alive and/or will be back are giving me some very tentative hope, but I’m still betting that Loki won’t be back, except maybe in flashbacks or some kind of B.A.R.F.-facilitated reenactment, because it seems pretty clear to me that Marvel doesn’t care about him or his fans and they’re tired of bringing him back from the dead. I have a hard time disregarding canon; even with Ragnarok, I have to find ways to reinterpret it rather than rewriting it to my satisfaction. I think that indulging in imagined versions of canon where Loki survives or comes back would interfere with my process of confronting the hard facts: that this is really the end that the creative team gave to a character I love, and this is really the low regard in which they hold me and others like me. Maybe it’s just that I’m firmly in the “anger” stage and I don’t want to move either backward into denial or forward into (fictional) bargaining…
I did consider writing a sad “Thor grieving” fic, but I guess I already did that once so I don’t need to do it again. If I get back into writing, anything I write (such as updates to my WIPs…) will be set before Infinity War happened so that I can ignore its events with a good conscience.
this is the only news that matters tbh…..
Torn between being happy Valkyrie survived, and pissed that they’re doing this. Seriously? “I know we didn’t show it to you or mention it whatsoever, but lots of Asgardians survived, including the woc we didn’t bother to put in our movie.” That’s lazy and a cop out.
You know, I kind of figured, since it would be implausible for a ship of that size not to have escape pods – they’re like the lifeboats on the Titanic. But it is annoying that they didn’t even have Thor say “At least the Valkyrie led some of my people to safety” or something like that.
The bad news: this reduces the likelihood that Loki will be brought back in A4. If some of the Asgardians survived – including Brunnhilde, whose presence in future movies has been teased – it becomes less imperative to turn back the clock as far as the attack on the Ark… and makes that “No resurrections this time” line seem more like a declaration from the creators themselves rather than merely from Thanos.
Yes. That’s exactly what it was. A declaration from the creators.
And it felt nasty to me, in a way not dissimilar to Taika Waititi’s curt “No.” to the woman petitioning for a solo Loki movie. It felt like they were saying to Loki’s (mostly female) fans, “You’ve been spoiled in the past, but you can’t keep expecting to see your fave come back every time. He and you have worn out your welcome here; we have other priorities.”
#this is how loki can still win
Considering what was done to his character in Ragnarok, I would not be surprised if Marvel deliberately killed him before the title card and made him look completely weak and incompetent in the process because they’re mad that this morally ambiguous queer-coded nerd gets more female admiration than the standard male power fantasies they’re marketing.
marvel wants to bury its gays but theyve never had more than one so they just keep killing loki and bringing him back
And they can’t kill the Grandmaster because he’s an Eternal… except they seem to have killed the Collector anyway. Unless he just peaced out.
Loki is the Philosopher King
