The Russos on “Happy, Sad, Confused”

First of all, here’s the link so that you can listen for yourself if you want. And to avoid confusion about what the hell everyone is talking about.

This confirms what I’ve thought since I first saw Infinity War: that the “No resurrections this time” line was coming directly from the creators rather than just from Thanos; that the filmmakers are tired of Loki, don’t understand why fans (especially fans who aren’t members of their straight cis male target audience) find him so interesting, and are perfectly happy to disregard character in order to use him as a plot device. And they really do sound smug about it; it’s like they’re glad to be rid of this unexpected favorite of the silly fangirls whose money they’ll happily take but whose affection they don’t really want (God forbid these movies should be mistaken for chick flicks!).

Loki’s death was in no way intended to serve his character arc, regardless of what people say about how it shows that he’s redeemed himself (gotta have that good old redemption through death) and is now willing to die for Thor (which he already showed he was in TDW, ignoring Ragnarok’s retcon that he deliberately faked it). His death was made as quick and violent as possible to build up Thanos as a villain – which, btw, doesn’t even work if “the reigning villain of the Marvel Universe” has to be acting uncharacteristically stupid for Thanos to be able to kill him – and to get Thor to a place where he’s lost everything. Again. Because that totally hasn’t been done before in the first Thor movie and again in Thor: Ragnarok. In short, Loki was fridged, and not even in a plausible or helpful way.

I guess I must have been giving some credence to the theories of why Loki is still alive or will come back, because this confirmation makes me feel sick. I don’t know if I’m going to boycott the MCU entirely… but I’m definitely going to make an effort to watch the things I want to watch without paying. And I’m definitely not going to see Avengers 4 until I know what they end up doing with Loki, why there’s that flashback, etc.

So apparently the Russo Brothers are actually a huge pile of SHIT

fangirlingsince1901:

Seems like the shitty brothers confirmed that they killed off Loki (and Heimdall) permanently to give Thor some motivation. I mean, REALLY????

This is exactly the fandom’s worst nightmare. A very bad OOC death scene which turned Loki into a cosmic JOKE.

 And I told myself hundreds of time that it’d end just like this. So many clever ideas all around, about how and why Loki did what he did; they all made a whole lot of sense but that scene was just a case of very bad writing. Not the first, not the last. 

Also, so many gorgeous ficwriters doing justice to such an amazing character, young people, unexperienced people with so many good ideas, but NO. Those ridiculsly overpaid jerks had to take one of the most complex character and one of the most gorgeous actors ever and turn it all into a pile of shit just like they are. 

I’m so fucking mad. I hope everything is a big misunderstanding, but my hopes are very very very little 😦

I’ll probably edit this stupid rant later, now excuse me while i go punching someone.

Ok, edit to add:

THIS is the podcast that ruined everything marvel for me

HERE is a petiton to bring back Loki I came across a few days ago. I thought it was fun, now it could be useful to tell the Russo to go fuck themselves. Also, it already has almost 15000 signatures. Wow!

OK, I think this might answer my last question.
