This doesn’t look good….. at all. I’m going to be crying as soon as this movie starts.

This is what I expected after seeing the trailer. And remember that most people on the refugee ship are civilians. Asgard’s soldiers were killed off by Hela. Even with Thor’s and Loki’s “teams” they will be outgunned.

Yeah….

So there was no point in saving everyone in Ragnarok.

This is the opposite of what we want, Marvel. Srsly…

Fucking called it. Of course they were going to sacrifice the Asgardians to show us Thanos is the real deal.

This isn’t really news, is it? There was that clip from the trailer with one of Thanos’s generals stepping over the bodies of Asgardians. Of course, “horrific slaughter” does not yet tell us whether Thanos will kill everyone except Thor (and possibly Loki).

If they kill Valkyrie, I’m going to be so pissed. How dare they introduce a complex, powerful WOC character (and displace two smart, strong-willed women to do it) for one movie and then kill her off at the beginning of the next. I also won’t be thrilled if they kill Heimdall, but I know Idris Elba was chafing at the occasionally undignified physical demands of the role; and I’ve also heard speculation that he has the Soul Stone (which is how he can see what everyone is doing), which would give Thanos an actual plot-driven reason to kill him (like Vision *sniff* and possibly Loki).

Gotta say, though, I won’t be at all sad if Korg and Miek die.

You seem so sure in your tags that Loki will die in IW? Can I ask why?

raven-brings-light:

Oh lots and lots of reasons. 

Narratively it makes sense from the footage we’ve seen so far. Thanos’s ship shows up at the Ark at the end of Ragnarok, then from IW footage we see a bunch of dead Asgardians, we see Thor about to get crushed by Thanos, we see Loki offering up the Tesseract…then Thor gets picked up by the GOTG floating through space and looking all burnt and stuff. Plus from The Avengers we know that Thanos is probably pretty pretty pretty pissed at him.

Combined with the rumor that someone dies in the first five minutes, it’s not hard to guess who that might be. 

From a utilitarian standpoint it makes sense too. There are SO MANY characters in IW, and there is no way they’re going to want to focus screen time on a secondary/tertiary character who’s not even a hero. It makes more sense to get him out of the way as soon as possible. Even more so when you consider that Loki is such a wild card…just his PRESENCE in Thor’s vision in Ultron was enough to confuse people and make them think he was behind everything and they had to get rid of it…best to just fridge him in IW.

From a “Hollywood” villain redemption standpoint it also makes sense. Hollywood doesn’t know how to redeem bad guys without killing them. They’ve been trying to make Loki more of a good guy, and what better way to complete that journey than to have him killed by Thanos while trying to save Thor’s life.

Also Loki is in practically none of the promo stuff, just the one shot of him with the Tesseract, and the only other bit we’ve seen of him was from filming a bit for Avengers 4 that was clearly a flashback or some kind of time travel to the past, which makes me suspect it’s because he’s just not in most of it.

Anyway, I WILL BE ABSOLUTELY ECSTATIC IF I’M WRONG.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ugh, I hate that your reasoning is so convincing. I haven’t heard the rumor that someone dies in the first 5 minutes, though. Where did that come from? And what about the thing Feige said about Loki being allied with Thanos in Infinity War? That would be a really misleading way of characterizing “he hands over the Tesseract and gets killed immediately afterward.” (It would still be misleading, but somewhat more conventionally so, if the situation is what I hope it is: Loki pretends to be helping Thanos, but is planning to betray him.)

I’m somewhat inclined to think that they’d only be doing the flashback in Avengers 4 to Loki’s arrest at the end of The Avengers if Loki was still around and they were trying to clarify something about his motivations or his relationship with the Avengers. I could be wrong, but otherwise I’m not sure what the significance of the flashback would be.

If they are planning to kill him by having him sacrifice himself to save Thor and/or stop Thanos, I wonder if they have plans to bring in a Kid Loki. @sexualthorientation‘s recent posts have been making me want to see Timothée Chalamet as an adolescent Loki, Agent of Asgard…

infinity war seems a lot more unnecessary when you remember that the mcu canonically has two (2) elders of the universe who could literally wipe the floor with thanos. like huge battle, Everything is bad, suddenly the grandmaster and the collector roll up in their party bus techno music blaring and thanos is melted into a puddle instantly

“Fuckin sweet” the collector says as he picks up the infinity gauntlet with his bare fucking hands “this is gonna look great above my big screen tv”

“who gives, uh, a shit about some shiny rocks? my trophy twink is here” calls out the grandmaster. he whisks loki away and they disappear in a puff of golden glitter to go play games across the stars

I mean. Fuck. This isn’t wrong

wait the Grandmaster is powerful? its a Deity? I thought he;s just an alien?

he’s, uh, kinda powerful yeah

Hes not nearly strong enough to beat thanos. That list basically just says hes stronger than a human and immortal

“h,hey you big purple dipshit”

says the grandmaster upon 1) rearranging thanos’s matter into vapor and then 2) subjecting each particle to a blinding blast of kinetic energy and then 3) teleporting each god damn remaining particle to a different corner of the universe,

“i know you liked having a, a body, and all, but uhhhhh this is what you get if you mess with my, my beautiful boyfriend here,” he waves over the battlefield and in loki’s general direction, “and the, the rest of the planet too. there’s skee ball here. skee ball, skee ball is great. so wh-whatever”

the collector is still fawning over the pretty rocks stuck in the infinity gauntlet (which he is still holding with his bare fucking hands) but he does get back into the party bus with it, which stan lee is driving

“bye, losers,” loki says before disappearing into the ether with his sugar daddy in a puff of golden glitter. the day is saved. peter parker goes back to school. bucky gets a goddamn nap under an actual blanket. steve and tony have an adult conversation for once. the rest of the movie is character development and constructive relationship building

the mid credits scene is the collector watching sex and the city on his big screen tv with the infinity gauntlet mounted above it in a lovely shadowbox frame

the end credits scene shows the grandmaster and loki in bed cuddling. loki is fast asleep. the grandmaster’s blue makeup is smudged all over loki’s face and neck and the part of his chest that’s visible. just off screen you can hear taika waititi yelling in triumph. jeff goldblum looks directly at the camera and winks. cut to black

yessssssssssssssss
