#hopefully im wrong tho and based on audience feedback they will tweak the characterization and what scenes they use in the final cut

I liked WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier but I’m really nervous for Loki. I’m honestly worried that they’ll mess up his character.

I haven’t actually watched WandaVision or The Falcon & The Winter Soldier but yeah same re Loki. I certainly hope the show does him justice but it’s not a great sign that so far most of the scenes in the trailers feel wildly out of character and tonally inappropriate. I’m also concerned because despite the fact that the show isn’t even out yet, I’ve already noticed a ton of seeming plot holes just based on the trailers (I say “seeming” because it is technically possible the show might explain some of them and I want to be fair). 

This has never happened to me before. Even when a movie has a lot of plot issues, you usually can’t tell just based on the trailer. I’ve never watched a trailer and been like “plot hole!” and yet that’s been happening constantly with this, which makes me feel that the writers didn’t really research the character or the world that carefully. Every clip just leaves me scratching my head over questions like:

Why is Loki's hair a different length when he is captured and brought in if this is picking up immediately after Avengers? Why is the stack of papers of everything Loki has ever said so small if he's 1500+ years old? How does Mobius know everything about him if the papers only have Loki's side of the conversation? If Mobius also watched footage of Loki's life, how did he have time to watch it all if Loki is over a thousand years old? Why is Loki being blamed for breaking the timeline but not the Avengers? If he knows everything about him why doesn't Mobius acknowledge the fact that Loki was tortured and mind controlled by Thanos? Why are Loki's speech patterns, body language, demeanor, and apparent mental state so different from how he was in Avengers and TDW even though this show takes place in the same time period? Why does Mobius say Loki has destroyed worlds when that hasn't happened? Why didn’t the TVA arrest any of the Avengers? If the TVA is a serious organization and views Loki as a threat why is Mobius’s humor in the “talky-talky” scene so childish and reminiscent of a bad comedy for middle schoolers? If he's read everything Loki ever said, why does Mobius say Loki likes to lie when the whole reason Thor trusted him in Thor 2011 was because for most of Loki’s 1000+ years of life he wasn’t habitually dishonest? And again how can Loki be accused of affecting time when he stole the space stone (not the time stone!) due to the actions of the Avengers (who DID use the time stone)!? 

And why are there so many apparent inconsistencies and issues just based on the trailer?! l

#even by MCU standards that's a lot of plot holes. the head writer hasn't written for the mcu before and it feels like he didn't really #care about learning about it and just came up with a plot idea and then plugged loki into an existing character slot #without considering any of the context of the larger world or that specific character #the hair thing concerns me the most in some ways because that was something so easy to get right and yet it feels like they just forgot #say what you will about endgame but they at least made loki in the flashback scene look and feel exactly like Avengers!Loki #tv!loki feels like a totally different character #hopefully im wrong tho and based on audience feedback they will tweak the characterization and what scenes they use in the final cut #this show has so much potential and I really want it to be good #Also I don't want to hear any 'wait until it's out yet before you dare to have an opinion!' condescending remarks. nobody is saying that to #people who are excited. can u imagine being all 'why are you so excited. it's just a trailer. u don't know what the show is like. stop being #hyped!' no of course not. because that would be weird. similarly it is ok for people to feel negative emotion based on the trailer #disagreeing with me is totally fine. but sending me harassing notes in my inbox is not(already had to block some people) #everyone is welcome to their opinion as long as they can be respectful about it #and nobody will be more delighted than I if my concerns all turn out to be unfounded #asks #loki tv series #Marvel #MCU #Loki #loki tv series negativity
