Honestly, all I’m waiting for are the fanfics where Jane and Darcy are in Ragnarok. Where Jane and Thor did NOT break up, and where Loki and Darcy get together! Come on people, I’m counting on you! Pleeeaaasssseee tag me in any and all fics!
This was really important and Thor blew it off which totally floored me. The only excuse I can think of is that because Sakaar is temporally weird, Loki’s been there and able to mourn Odin for two weeks, while Thor literally watched Odin die moments ago.
But even with that being the case? It still flabbergasts me that Thor can be so strangely uncritical of and emotionally enmeshed with Odin, after Odin’s behavior in TDW.
To me that shows that Odin not only emotionally neglected Loki, he also groomed and conditioned Thor to be a mere extension of himself with no autonomous thought, until Thor was simultaneously so privileged and so dependent/reactive that he had to be exiled to straighten himself up.
And he DID straighten himself up with Jane, so I’m kind of like. Why. Is Thor such an asshole in Ragnarok again? Why the character regression???? Is this just his way of coping with constant loss, to get all arrogant and macho and Gaston-like?
This is a genuine question I’m asking Thor muns here. Do you think Thor’s weird combination of petulance, pride and sanctimony are the result of grief? Or just bad writing?
Hello, yes, please watch and support Marvel’s Runaways when it premiers. With the recent white washing of most of the New Mutants cast, take a minute to consider Runaways the answer to the same cried for diversity we’ve been begging from Marvel.
It’s about a kick-ass group of teen superheroes that decide to runaway and rebel against their evil super villain parents, and includes incredibly diverse characters such as:
Alex Wilder, leader and founder of the runaways, the black, genius son of mafia bosses
Nico Minoru, the goth, Japanese co-leader of the group that is the magical wiccan daughter of some dark wizards
Karolina Dean, a solar powered alien lesbian that literally turns into a fucking rainbow
Chase Stein, the son of an abusive mad scientist, has some gauntlets that manipulate fire, he’s the lone white guy
Gertrude Yorkes, the daughter of time traveling criminals with a telepathic link TO A DINOSAUR, in the comics she’s a wonderful chubby girl, in the show she’s portrayed by a non white actress (but I can’t find the specifics to let me know if you do) and she’s a hella feminist.
Molly Hayes/Hernandez, the 14 year old daughter of mutants with super strength and lots of funny hats, in the show her last name is Hernandez and she’s portrayed by a latina actress
Now if the show succeeds and get’s a second season, there’s the possibility of including other important characters like:
Xavin, the shapeshifting child of Skrull warlords, who is gender fluid and switches between their male and female forms and is Karolina’s love interest, and, although alien technically, their ‘human’ forms are not white
Klara Prast, a Swiss immigrant that was previously the child bride of an abusive older man, and she can control fucking plants
Victor Mancha, the cyborg son of FUCKING ULTRON, while he’s a cyborg he’s covered in human tissue and flesh and in Latino
Besides all the amazingly important and wonderful representation it includes, the story is also so intense and full fleshed out and deals with finding your place and the fear of turning into your parents and how to be your own person. And it touches on identity and dealing with loss and it’s really just so good.
We’ve been complaining about and demanding better than Marvel’s white washed male dominated line ups for years and this is the show to counteract all that and PROVIDE THAT DIVERSITY AND PROVE IT’S A SELLING POINT FOR AUDIENCES.
WATCH THE TRAILER HERE AND SUPPORT RUNAWAYS WHEN IT AIRS ON HULU PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
I really loved Thor Ragnarok and I’m not tired of drawing fan stuff yet so I chose Loki for today’s animation practice. I actually wanted to animate Thor doing something stupid as a counterpart but ran out of time; maybe later 😀
“Tom Hiddleston obviously adores playing the character and his performance is more than enough to carry a feature film, so why not give Loki a heroic moment in Avengers: Infinity War and spin him off into his own franchise come Phase 4?”
