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.”

twh-news:

Tom Hiddleston, Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo, Russo Brothers backstage of Infinity War press conference. From RDJ’s Facebook live.

  • Anthony Russo: “I saw Tom in the hotel gym this morning, working out. You can see the marvelous effects of it here.” I.e., his ass, apparently.
  • I love how Hiddleston is dressed to the nines in a well-pressed suit with a tie and sharp dress shoes while everyone else looks like they just rolled in off the street. Anthony Russo and RDJ are wearing track jackets, Mark Ruffalo says his dresser forgot to set aside an outfit, Tom Holland admits he’s wearing his only clean clothes…
  • I’m amused that RDJ commented on how high the chairs are for all those short people, except Hiddleston. TH1 is the only one whose feet touch the ground, and he looks weirdly cramped when he puts his feet on the bar across the chair legs.
  • Not exactly video-related, but: the fact that Hiddleston is doing all this press for Infinity War strongly suggests that Loki will not die in the first 5 minutes. I find this immensely comforting.
