I really wish Disney/Marvel had the balls to make Sylkius cannon. Then I would be able to use the "If I had a cent for every time Owen Wilson played a character in a polycule, I would have two cents. Which is not much, but it's weird it's happened twice."

It'd be its own thing, not some doormat for other Marvel properties to step on. Don't use it to set up a "Big Bad" that won't be used anymore. A Loki that was sick of dying so violently and their lot in life. Or trying to save Frigga could have been an interesting sympathetic villain. A Loki that repressed every bit of who they were thinking it'd somehow alter their destiny; trying to impose that on other Loki variants. I think it should have been about grief and self-hatred. Wouldn't that be fucking cool?

I personally think the TVA is an interesting concept, but it was used the WRONG way. The TVA would have been a good vehicle to parallel Loki's fight against pre-determinism from the comics very easily. I don't know if it'd have been my first choice. I certainly think it could have worked if handled properly and I do like it better than what I'd have come up with without any outside influence. If I had no knowledge of what the Loki series ended up being, I'd have probably have Loki survive somehow and reunite with his people and brother. Maybe with some Revengers shenanigans and Loki angst? I'd love Loki angst while he's pretending to be Odin, and nearly dying! I would've wanted Loki to have a huge scar on his chest! I don't think it's as refreshing as a Loki variant being apprehended for unfair reasons.

I love the idea of sinister food. So DRUGGED PIE. It'd also make the TVA agents more sympathetic in terms of complicity. And it'd make that sinister pie more marketable lmao.

I personally would have wanted some of the TVA cast to be people Loki killed during his rampage on Earth. The reveal of WHY Mobius is drawn to him would have been so compelling and heart-wrenching!

It should have been more overtly queer. Yes, it made Loki come out as bisexual, but it did nothing for their genderfluidity. Have Loki use different pronouns in different episodes! Even if not shapeshifting bc TVA represses magic! Hell, have a fem!Loki casting too!

I'd have personally killed for some exploration of Loki's villain queer-coding in some meta context. But I know that's never happening.

Better costumes. Alien TVA employees! And PLEASE give MCU!Loki black nails like their comics counterpart!!! They cheaped out on these poor characters! Why the fuck are they all from Earth and the USA especifically?! Why are most of the costumes office garb, a fucking green blanket, and McD's uniforms?

I'd have liked some Loki's gap year with Thanos whump/angst, and hell even Asgard angst (e.g. Loki being insecure about who he is and his interests! That's why people relate to MCU!Loki, FFS!).

I personally think SOME dumb discourse would have been prevented if Sylvie had been the MCU's Enchantress rather than an amalgam of a fem!Loki variant with very tiny hints of Amora/Sylvie Lushton (and TH had wanted for Amora to appear in the MCU since 2013. ). Not saying people wouldn't be awful to her in that case (I'd picture a lot of fans upset that her tits aren't out 24/7 like in the comics and that she isn't as traditionally feminine or played by someone in her 20s). BTW, I absolutely don't give a shit if people are into Sylki, and it's not my Loki OTP. I generally am indifferent towards it, and I've defended it because some people were being awful to the actress. I am a ship and let ship sort of person.

Don't relegate female characters to product placement or forget about them. I wanted to know WTF was up with Ravonna. She was the character I was most interested on after the blorbo I've had for over a decade in S1 (and she was frankly pretty Loki-like). Instead we got horny clock love triangle over a man. It was also insulting that they relegated Sylvie to product placement, and that B-15 still got very little exploration.

Actually flesh out characters and the relationships between them! Not even TVA!Loki is properly fleshed out, imho. Loki just suddenly cares SO MUCH about them despite not even having a conversation with them throughout the series!

If you yourself could’ve directed/wrote the Loki series, what would you have done differently? What would you have wanted to see in a series about Loki? What would you have focused on? Would the series take place somewhere other than the TVA? Which characters would you include? What would be the end goal? What aspects of his character would be explored?

life was simpler when loki just wanted that stupid blue cube

insane how clingy and touchy Loki and Mobius are when they’re together

He really is the new TVA mascot after Miss Minutes left. I like how in the Brad's interrogation/torture he's like "I don't work here." And Brad calls him Mobius's pet. Pet in Spanish is"mascota" and can mean pet or mascot.

I love how they just gave up on Loki being a prisoner they're using. like no he works here now he's on payroll he chips in on group lottery cards I got him for office secret santa. he's so funny when we all stand around the water cooler

Mobius: Talky, talky.

everything’s changed but nothing’s new

What I love in this scene is Loki's reaction.

I thought that Loki would be impressed by Mobius' rage, or that he would be amused. Or that he would immediately start torturing Brad as soon as Mobius got out of the cell.

But no: Loki was stunned by Mobius' reaction.

So, at first, he took steps to stop Mobius before he went too far and escorted him away safely.

Then he followed Mobius to make sure he was okay, asking him over and over without using aggressive tones, despite Mobius trying to downplay it.

Loki saw that Mobius was trying to hide how shaken he was, so he suggested to eat a slice of pie to reassure him down.

Without pressure, he calmed him down until Mobius was ready to open.

And then he reassured him gently.

This shows how much Loki has changed: instead of being overwhelmed by anger and the desire for revenge, he put the well-being of Mobius, a person dear to him, first, without hiding the concern and affection he feels for him. And Mobius, in return, demonstrated that he placed full trust in Loki, expressing his innermost emotions to him.

Yeah uhhh what the fuck was that

[lokiinmediasideblog]

I consider "man of action" a relative description. Thor's the "man of action" in comparison to Loki in a warrior-based society. Loki is obviously trained and skilled in fighting (and sorcery). Compared to Mobius, who has lived an office-based existence and seems to lack the same training and abilities, Loki is the "man of action". Also, let's be real, you need less planning when you have learned millenia's worth of cool and useful magic tricks (and are now allowed to use them because you get to be outside the TVA. YAY!). Through training in sorcery, Loki can afford to plan less than Mobius.

It's like saying "Steve is tall. Loki's taller. Thor's the tallest."

saw the trailer for Loki season 2 and my thoughts can be summed up like so:

Mobius: You’re a man of action, which is fine! I take a more slow, deliberate, cerebral approach.

Loki, who has spent literally a thousand years advising caution, being a buzzkill, spoiling the fun, and generally being the ‘slow, deliberate, cerebral’ one to his infuriatingly reckless ‘man of action’ brother: *Looks directly into the camera like he’s on The Office*

The Loki series fumbled in that it could have been a very meaningful tale about grief.

What if the main TVA cast Loki interacts with are people he killed in 2012? And it would have been so meaningful for his character development!! He learned to care about humans! It would also explain why Mobius is drawn to him.

What if part of the conflict was Loki trying to save Frigga and alter the timeline to keep himself and everyone else safe? And he fails at it all the time. This could be either TVA!Loki or some other antagonist Loki variant. If it is TVA!Loki and HWR was present, it could have tied to the comics lore of Kang keeping an alternate version of his dead lover (Ravonna) around because he couldn't accept her death.

The Loki variants that were pruned or removed from their timelines like Sylvie and those in the Void would be grieving their lost lives.
