#but also... what the fr*ck is up with the TVA

[someoneinthecrowd0757]

Fr fr putting the (evident) queerbait issue surrounding the handling of the marketing (and more) of the show aside, I think my main gripe with the series would have to be just the amount of wasted potential there.

They confirmed an age ago that Loki was canonically not fully in control during the events of The Avengers. There’s so many questions surrounding that alone, especially with this Loki having been pulled right out of the aftermath of the fight in New York. (They even watch his memories and the progression of events in his life previously, so how the hell how did they not take the opportunity for this this not come up??)

Let alone what they could do for examining the very interesting relationships in his family or, maybe even address anything to do with the frost giants and the very character-shaping, evidently-traumatizing effect they seemed to have on Loki way back when?

The reason WandaVision slapped so hard was partially the super cool concept of going through different reality shows, right, but the real appeal? Fr fr was the beating emotional heart of the family the show centred around. It was everything I’d want from a TV show featuring some of my favorite characters that didn’t get time for their psyche to be delved into in the movies! A look at the trauma, grief and (most importantly) love surrounding Wanda and that was incredible.

So, when I compare that to what’s happened to this equally interesting character (who’s also a magic user, mind you (“what are you Loki god of knives?”)) with so very much potential for a show taking him seriously and examining his internal psyche as well? Well, it’s very hard to get invested in much else (for me, personally).

The TVA is a super interesting concept and I love Lokis dynamics with the also great cast surrounding him. Getting to see Tom Hiddleston as Loki is always a treat, but still? Why is it that this show is all these people with Loki as just,,,one of the many present? (And if I was discussing the queerbait as well here I’d start to go off here about how they treated Sylvie as “the only female Loki” with how baffled all the other Lokis were by this fact when they’re supposed to be GENDERFLUID-But I’m not, so I won’t).

I just wish they’d just said “f*ck it” and given me double the Loki by having him be a part of their TVA show taking place after a Loki show of some kind. There’s no way there wasn’t another way to have things take place in such a way where we’d get all these answers (at long last) regarding Loki’s actions for the prime timeline version as well as do their cool TVA show (and have Loki be a factor in that too if they wanted!)

I’d be much cooler with that if there’d already been a show giving me the fully Loki-centric content, plot and answers that I’ve longed for from the prime timeline one rather than wipe him out entirely for little to no reason (other than shock value and not knowing how to handle his character in the grand scheme of things after a point, quite frankly).
