#i'm in a fair amount of pain so i'm being bitchy but honestly

[lovecolibri]

Oh I am *cackling* at the producers trying to claim the show was driven by Loki and Sylvie's relationship when she refused to lift a finger to help multiple times (while platonic bestie Mobius was living out romcom moments by the dozen with Loki), and honestly they could have not had her in the season at all and barely anything would change. Like, I don't like that ship but it's still SO deeply disrespectful to give them NOTHING on screen all season while giving all the cute classically shippy moments to Lokius, and then come out after and claim it was some grand, sweeping romance and also there was nothing intentional about giving all the shippy stuff to Lokius. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Also, as I said in some tags, the "we can't get into Loki's head" like is just....peek absurdity. My brother in Christ, YOU'RE the writers! This character has been in the MCU for like, 14 years, played by Hiddleston who is *obsessed* with Loki. Getting into Loki's head should have been a cake walk! And even if it wasn't, IT'S LITERALLY YOUR JOB TO GET IN THE CHARACTER'S HEAD. Maybe this is why shows are so shitty? Instead of letting the characters drive the plot by getting into their heads and making choices from that perspective, showrunners instead twist the characters into a storyline.

ANYWAY.

#loki #anti sylki #anti sylvie #to be safe #i honestly don't care enough about her to be anti and i think her character (and loki's) got shafted by shitty writing #but i don't need rabid fans in my inbox #i'm in a fair amount of pain so i'm being bitchy but honestly #what a clusterfuck #and after OFMD and GO this year pulled out amazing seasons you gotta turn around and pull this shit? #i am a person who LOVES love stories #i want to see the sweeping romance! i love cheesy christmas romcoms! #and i can tell you right now as a lover of romantic tropes the relationship you're claiming was romantic had ZILCH this season #while your 'platonic' male besties were hitting multiple romantic tropes and moments every. single. episode. #there WAS a sweeping romance being told (just ask your composer) #and if you couldn't see it or you think not showing it in the other pair and claiming it was there in an article after the fact #instead of PUTTING IT ON SCREEN which is your literal job to convey the story in a visual way to the audience #then maybe you shouldn't be the one in charge #if you have to tell people after the show is over that something was actually a romance and something else actually WASN'T a romance #then you did not effectively use your time in the show to tell the story you were trying to tell
