#why it's going down the toilet

The major reason we didn't get this with any of the current lineup is, and quite frankly: the behind the scenes crews in charge of portraying that and his character didn't care enough to even try to know about hardly any of it: and that's been a running theme for the MCU since Gagnarok taht, the main writer Waldron (who unsurprisingly was also in charge of writing for the 'Loki' series, too) has proven repeatedly that just like Waititi, he had no interest in for the MCU under it's 15 year standing premise, or retaining the integrity of the characters he was entrusted with writing for, from the start.

Raimi, sadly, kept on this same laughable and unprofessional trend: of all the background there for even the main character whose name was in the title (Doctor Strange) he was making a sequel to? Not only for the three films (or four if you count Gagnarok at all, which I don't given Waititi's repeatedly stated and well documented promises to wreck every character in that film; which he not only pulled off, but was patted on the back for to continue in that flavor as promised all the way through to Love & Thunder) but was completely unfamiliar with Wanda's background story and character to manage her portrayal either: having admitted to not having brushed up on any of that, or watched any film past watching part of DS1 years ago when it first had released in theaters.

And yes you read that right: he did not watch or familiarize himself with the entirety of the first film he was making a sequel to, or any of the rest involving the rest of the main cast to know what story belonged to the characters in it, he was haphazardly trying to tell to begin with. (No Ultron, no CACW, no Infinity War, no Endgame, no WandaVision, none of it; according to his own official statements when asked about how prepared he was for the job.)

You said one out of 14 million, we win, yeah? Tell me this is it. If I tell you what happens, it won’t happen.

I know that Clover's gender is up to interpretation (the devs DID say so themselves) but I still feel weird when people make them exclusively male or female LOL Like it's TECHNICALLY fine??? but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

more in tags as usual because I am a yapper. i am so sorry for having strong opinions about gender and representation. i am usually more fun than this 🥲🥲🥲🥲

All this, yes. But don't forget one of the main plot points of Thor 2011, and Loki's story is the fact he isn't the same species as Thor in the MCU. He's a magically whitewashed Jotnar (Frost Giant). Not the other way around. That is, what kicks off his story in particular heading into Avengers 2012, and was on blatant display in Thor with that and an actual story in mind.

That said.. here's some more visuals as to how OOC the entire series yes, absolutely is; given the title alone (and not touching yet how it was advertised to the audience both at Conventions and in it's actual advertising and premise lines leading up to airing.)

Ultimately, it comes down to bad writing by an individual who didn't bother to know even the species of the title character his script was supposed to feature, bad directing that didn't call for immediate rewrites with the intent to favor the buddy hire Di Martino is rather than follow through with the title and franchise premise (not to mention advertising plugging it) to help that along, and both the studio's mismanagement in hiring and keeping on that BTS crew regardless.

The "Loki series" is not what it's title says, or what was advertised to rake in the money and numbers it's first two episodes (if even that many episodes, according even to their own statistics) managed to rake in because of that bait and switch advertisement campaign.

All in all and to be blunt, it's a dumpster fire in digital that shouldn't have made it to any platform in the franchise, without the consideration and or fear they might get a class action law suit filed by those D+ subscribers who paid specifically to watch it, under false advertisement alone.

I personally? Definitely wouldn't have even bothered watching the first episode if I had known, and their advertising had been remotely honest to tell me as much. Never mind paying to watch six of that dumpster fire.

Just sayin'.

rewatching the Loki series, and the more I watch, the more I realize that Loki was not as OOC as most people say he is. Yeah, there are a lot of "he would not freaking say that" moments, but there are fewer than I remember. (Sylvie is also less annoying, but I'm only on episode 4, so that may change.)

What I am watching is Mobius systematically breaking down Loki psychologically and Loki desperately trying not to die or get beaten up the entire time. Loki would do anything to keep Mobius happy and Mobius knows that and exploits it. He manipulates Loki and never apologizes for any of it. Mobius is horrible.

The plot is still an absolute disaster though.

bitches will come to definite and so incredibly biased judgements of the five sinners when we have zero sizable (or even completely reliable) context of khaneri’ah culture, government, and their personal lives (along with the typical morals & ethics to go along with it.) All while also trusting what dainsleif says

This. Framing and context matter: and are basic things the behind the scenes teams from writer to cinematography to director do know at that level and should be aware of before they even start building sets TO frame it.

We're talking, first classes in middle and high school (ages 13-18) kind of knowledge, on top of that.

Not college/uni 'higher' learning; where they double down on that in your first classes prior to getting their very first jobs in the field.

The fact that they framed yet another on screen set of mass murderers with a greater kill count than any Thanos in existence (yes including Syvlie with how they did it; every time charge in Roxxmart went to a different universe remember) as okay, and therapy, and not applying even a pinch of consequence or appropriate framing in the process of that dumpster fire, while doing all of that makes it even worse.

There are so many just plain stupid problems with that 'show' that it's hard to believe anyone involved in production past set crafts passed middle school; just saying.

And yes, that absolutely starts with whatever moron approved Waldron and especially his adapted, previously rejected script on the fly; and whatever other idiots gave the thumbs up both during and after production and filming was done.

That said, I repeat out of tags: Waldron is an idiot, Herron is just as bad letting any of that fly without MASSIVE rewrites, and Martin is proving to be a Waldron clone to make sure the next season is starting out just as unbelievably horrid.

Something I find so disturbing and have been struggling with about the Loki show, is how horrible the show treats him and how accepting the Loki "fandom" is of it. Like, the show creators seem to know that they can treat Loki any way they want and get away with it. And they did, and they're going to do it again.

The thing is, they know they can do anything to him now. Subject him to anything they want, play out a whole Loki torture fantasy if they want to, and nobody is going to tell them no. Hell, they already did.

Is it because it's Loki and he deserves it? Is it because he's Loki, therefore he'll never NOT deserve it? If not, then where is the stopping point? When is enough enough? How much pain and torture and mocking and humiliating and emasculating does it take, exactly??

Why are people in the Loki fandom acting like this is okay? Why are some enjoying this and saying how wonderful it is that Loki is finally getting therapy and has a friend. THERAPY?!? A FRIEND??? This is so wrong it's become hard to live with for me. It's so disturbing. I feel like this will always live in my mind and haunt me.

My focus is more on criticizing Disney for the offensive messaging. I'm not opposed to bad things happening to characters in stories. What bothers me about the show is the framing. Bucky is tortured in CATWS. Very brutally. Right on screen. But at no point is the audience encouraged to revel is his degradation or to laugh at him or to think Pierce is giving Bucky "therapy" or helping him or anything of the sort. So yes something bad happens on screen but the messaging is fine. (the writing does get very victim blamey with Bucky later installments but I'll save that for another post).

Mobius's treatment of Larry (as I call the show character bc he has nothing in common with Loki) is the same but the framing is very different. He holds Larry against his will, forces him to serve a fascistic, genocidal organization, threatens him, degrades and dehumanizes him, and tortures him when he doesn't behave as Mobius wants.

BUT the audience is very forcefully encouraged by the framing and messaging to think this is ok. We're supposed to enjoy seeing Larry being hurt and called names. We're supposed to laugh and think he deserves it and think that Mobius is a great guy even though he's a torturer and murder who at no point shows any remorse for his actions.

And that's not ok.

This show isn't woke. It's sick.

still having a lot of fun tho! sometime i should get around to making a type a muse but most people i meet are type a so i never run out of people to dress either way LOL

like most people i have things i hope they add in the future (like i said before, the lack of zoom is DIRE) and right now some of the currencies and levelling systems feel a little unbalanced (i have so many of the star things and bingo things and a decent amount of gacha things but the photo prop coins are my most coveted thing rn i have like 1 single one JKDLSJFDS) but im enjoying myself a lot like i knew i would

was trying to take a pic of this other player's muse that had this really neat witch situation but i accidentally made dave dab and got really scared <3

in the end we must all go to the photo egg. in the end we all go into the photo egg. the universality of the photo egg.

kinda wacky from daylight savings time changes i always get wacky i dont know what year or time it is. i spent twenty minutes scouring the ACT cocoon for the showroom stream 'cause i couldnt find it until i accidentally went into this like. basement alley. its in the basement alley <3 <3 <3

i guess we dont just go into the egg. we also. go into the. cocoons. the cocoons. in eve? cocoons in eve have. eggs in them

going back to the photo props my favourites so far are the flowers theyre so cute

i dont do the vertical photos that often because theyre kinda hard to do (u have to like. turn ur head or the switch to the side..... im nearly exclusively a tabletop switch player so i cant imagine what its like for docked player LOL) but this ones cute!

but yeah very fun and extremely addicting i need to go to bed. i need to go to bed. i have assignments and i need to go to bed. but i want. to make outfits..........i must.....make outfits......graaaaahhh........GRAAAAAHHHHHH (turns into a zombie before your eyes)

one thing about jyn is that she will never wear a dress (or a skirt). if she's forced to attend a black tie event, she'll be wearing a clean!! shirt and pants, and might even polish her boots if you're lucky.

if she's forced to wear a dress for an assignment, she will only do so with these concessions:

it has to be flowy enough and/or have slits in the skirt to allow for a full range of movement if she needs to run/fight

it has to be relatively full coverage (especially on intelligence missions, since she's so covered in scars that it would make her easily identifiable)

she will be choosing her shoes. this is non-negotiable. she can't walk well in hells and they're impractical. best hope the dress is long enough to cover her combat boots

I'm fatigued, my back hurts, I accidentally spent like 3 hours sat downstairs in a chair that made our back feel worse because our executive dysfunction prevented me getting up and going back upstairs even though I only went down there to get one thing, and now I really need to lay down but if I accidentally fall asleep again I feel like I'll wake up, realise I fell asleep and also that I feel like I wasted a big chunk of the day, and I'll end up feeling even worse again
