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.”
