Wait, are there even going to be more Thor movies? I thought a trilogy was all each of the major heroes get, and then they’ll be replaced by a new roster. (I kind of hope for more cameos in other heroes’ films, especially from RDJ, but I know it’s open season in Infinity War…)

Loki’s character was not completely massacred in Ragnarok (though it often seemed like TW was trying his damnedest), and it’s possible that TW could be convinced that it’s a good idea not to alienate Loki’s fans…? I don’t know, maybe if he directed another movie it wouldn’t be the worst thing for Loki. Thor’s character suffered more lasting damage, I think, and I blame CH equally. As a general point, though, I’d rather have a character I love die an emotionally satisfying death than suffer slow character assassination by indifferent or hostile writers, directors, etc. I just don’t really trust Markus & McFeely (the IW screenwriters) or the Russo brothers, either. I’d rather have Joss Whedon still writing (yeah, yeah, give it a rest, Tumblr) – though after how he killed Wash in Serenity, maybe not…
