Look, I personally lose nothing if Lokius doesn’t become explicit canon. And if that were to become the case, I’d also have no regrets for saying for years that that would happen in the show by the end ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve said it before, but by now it would be Disney/Marvel’s loss, NOT mine. Whoever wasted or limited the potential would be the idiot, not me.

I’m simply never gonna feel crazy for noticing what’s happening in a story or silly for daring to hope it’ll be brought to fully satisfying narrative completion. That's just a me thing. Maybe this is because at heart I’m stubborn! But I’d like to think I’m not unreasonable. I can’t control whether writing stays consistent or censorship is overcome... But I just do my best to construct solid arguments, and as long as those arguments remain solid, I stand by them :)

I know not everyone would say the same, or they consider this to be "hope" or "optimism," but I see it as logic based in noticing what the text of a show/story is doing. And personally I also consider blatantly evident subtext to be "canon enough," so if we get my personal minimum, my happiness may still outweigh any potential disappointment for me.

However. Here's what I've come here to say today, in reaction to things I've seen floating around in the fandom:

While I do understand on some level why people worry that Lokius won’t be more explicitly canonically romantic because it could be censored by Disney.... At this point, I don’t understand how people can think Loki/Sylvie will still happen.

As of right now, there’s no way to argue for that in my opinion. (I'd like to see someone try.)

The show has set up a fun but very simple situation from basically the start:

They made romantic love a point of relevance in the show’s story. More specifically, they pointed out Loki's desire for a "real" romantic love, and had him learn the lesson that he doesn't deserve to be alone. They didn't HAVE to do all of those things and tie them together. They CHOSE to make romantic love relevant – and they have actively continued to choose to do that, to the point of including a mirrored dark love triangle in s2 ep3. That narrative thread simply has to be fulfilled.

So if they deliberately established that Loki wants and needs a “real” love, and his relationship with Sylvie was referred to as "fiction" so she cannot be a real love for him.... Who does it have to be?

Obviously it has to be Mobius. And of course, the whole show points to Lokius also, for countless more reasons than just this simple breakdown. But pointing this element out is the simplest argument one can make.

So either...

1. They take Lokius to full narrative completion with explicit canon, as they should and as I expect them to,

or

2. Loki's desire for a real love is left unfulfilled, open-ended, and/or made clear through subtext that it's Mobius.

Those are the options, if you ask me!

This is aside from how Lokius’ love story is now even at the core of the show’s themes and plot, which is an insanely strong vote in favor for their future canonicity.

But for the purposes of this post, I’m talking about whether we'll get explicit romance specifically, like a love confession or a kiss – and I do actually genuinely think we'll get both of those things. I'm not trying to force you to agree with me, but just to be clear, that's where I'm at with it and have been since 2021 lol.

So in regards to worrying about Loki/Sylvie...

They were never really a romance (yes, even in season 1) and they sure as hell aren't now. I can’t imagine they'll become one even IF Lokius is left subtextual.

So what actually remains to be seen is if the writers got to go all the way with Lokius, or if that central queer love story was censored on some level in the end.

My hot take is no one should be ~worrying~ about Sylki at this stage of the game. Free yourselves, people.

If the story starts abruptly going in a Sylki direction, even with only 3 episodes left, I will certainly be the first to say so lol. But I simply sincerely, truly doubt that'll happen.

(Hot take in the footer: this is not the post to get into this at length, but in case this comes up… In this house we do not use the word "queerbaiting." It is a useless, nearly-meaningless, insufferable term that devalues the legitimacy of subtext and queercoding more often than not; it's rooted in the idea that media must hit arbitrary and inconsistent checklists often set with cishet approval in mind; and it perpetuates a focus on the false and harmful myth that many creators are "cowards" instead of leaving room for nuance and the fact that industry censorship still exists.)

It looks like Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon REMIX is getting another comic, at least in France. It's listed as Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix: Mega City Blues by Grelin and Faouz.b. Here's the summary:

"Elena "Mute" Hicks is a private investigator with no pending cases. A few years ago, she operated in the army of Eden where she was the partner of a certain Dolph Laserhawk. It was also at this time that she met her girlfriend, Linda. A beautiful story... But since their breakup, Elena has been drowning in the excesses of the nights of Mega City 4. And when she learns of Linda's death, which occurred in strange circumstances, Mute sinks a little deeper into her own abyss . The unexpected arrival of her former brother in arms, Dolph, since considered public enemy number 3, will push Elena to return to service. Together, they dive into the heart of an investigation across the four corners of the city... Discover the first comic book adaptation of Captain Laserhawk, Netflix's next animated event series! Produced by Ubisoft, written by Adi Shankar (Castlevania) and directed by Bobbypills (Les Kassos, Vermin, Crisis Jung), this dystopia with synthwave and retro gaming influences forms an explosive cocktail between anticipation story, action comedy and meta references to pop culture. Taking place a few months before the events narrated in the animated series, this comic book one-shot introduces new characters and is part of the DNA of the universe by multiplying references and mixing genres."

Art preview from Grelin's instagram. And another.

On iOS it's listed as releasing (digitally, in French) on 8 November 2023 and 13 December 2023. Amazon lists the Kindle release (in French) as 8 November 2023. A lot of French release sites are showing it'll release in November. I'm not seeing this being offered in another language, or physical (though Amazon lists it as being 88 pages, hardcover, with other book dimensions), and this wasn't showing up in searches before. Sounds neat (mostly I like that Dolph canonically has a friend), and hope we get it translated.

(As a reminder, the art book for the show is out, and the boy's love comic for Dolph and Alex comes out digitally on 14 November 2023, and physically 12 December 2023. Also Netflix is still selling Bullfrog plushies).
