Just asking after an update on part 3? :)

It has been worked on, but currently, I think everyone involved is experiencing executive dysfunction, and/or writer's block, and/or is busy with different things in their lives that take up their time and energy. I do hope we'll get back to it eventually, I have been very excited about where it's going, but I am personally not one of the writers and therefore can only do so much. The continued interest is appreciated

[thesuperiorlokiseries]

Hello again

After all this time, I finished this god damned piece for @thesuperiorlokiseries . It is done, it is finished, and god did it take me a while (no not bcs I procrastinated the hell out of it-)

I really wanted to colour this sketch because I felt that the raw thing didn't really do the character justice? I mean there is my rendition of the younger Loki from the rewrite (go check it out it's so infinitely better than the source material lmao).

Nothing much was changed from the original sketch except a slight sleeve redesign, but otherwise I'm very happy with how they turned out!

not to be a nag but 🥺 is there any news on when you all plan to release more?

Hey, we just posted an announcement yesterday which should answer your question!

#basically: #we're working on it! it's just going to take longer than anticipated #irl things makes people busy #loki series rewire project #the superior loki asks

Announcement

We apologise for the long wait time on episode 3, but recently most of us have been bogged down with other commitments in our lives. Rest assured, we are still working on the rewrite! However, it may take just a little longer than anticipated to write and release all episodes.

Again, we thank you for your support!

Granted, I have no idea what an Alfr dragon looks like but I wanted to draw Loki-dragon for this fanfiction so. This.

The one on the right is Loki, the one on the left slightly younger Loki.

A colored version may or may not happen in the future.

Regarding Episode Three

For those waiting: episode three of the rewrite will, unfortunately, be a bit delayed in its release. Though we've all tried our best, March has been absolute hell for several of us, and we've not exactly been able to find enough time for writing and editing. We will (hopefully) be able to begin posting in the first week of April.

Extremely sorry for the delay, and thank you so much for the incredible support!!

there's a specific profile of mediocre writer who thinks clever writing is measured in how many ham-fisted references and un-earned, out of place, metajokes you can shoehorn into the dialogue and it has fucking ruined pop culture

When you're angry at the characters, the story is well-written. When you're angry at the writers, it is not.

Do you guys have a Reddit or Discord?

We don't have a subreddit, and while we do have a Discord server, it's pretty much exclusive to the people working on the project (we can't all communicate on the astral plane, after all). If you're asking if there is a discord server for the rewrite's readers, there isn't one yet, but we can definitely make one if people are interested! :D

Super messy SPOILER fanart for “Loki: The Rewrite”  @thesuperiorlokiseries I don’t really know what anything looks like but this is vaguely what I pictured from the descriptions. Devastating and devastatingly good writing so far, my poor heart can’t take it.

If you want to “shock your audience” maybe you should just try writing a good story.

Episode Two Update:

Reflection: Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five | Part Six | Part Seven | Part Eight | Part Nine

Disappointed by the shitty four-hour long setup for Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness and Ant Man: Quantumania otherwise marketed as the Loki Series? 

Disgusted by how Marvel and Disney would much rather make a self-cest relationship canon before a homosexual one? 

Otherwise salty about how immensely the writers butchered and retconned Loki's previous characterization?

Dreading the very idea of Season 2?

Desperately looking for fanfiction to soothe the wounds canon has left on your soul?

We've got good news for you! 

Announcing the Loki Series Rewrite Project, where we reject MCU canon and substitute our own, vastly better fanwrite, which features such great hits as:

A main character that is not depowered, humiliated, sidelined for a poorly-written Girlboss™ or otherwise clowned upon for cheap jokes at every turn!

Generally coherent worldbuilding!

Actual queer and neurodivergent rep written by actual queer and neurodivergent people!

Zero unnecessary romantic arcs, self-cest or otherwise!

Zero blatant racism, queerphobia or sexism hidden under the guise of performative progressiveness!

Heavy topics such as abuse, trauma, internalized-racism and authoritarianism treated with the care and respect they deserve!

Brought to you by: fans who care deeply about the character and generally possess some modicum of competence in writing!

Coming soon to Archive of Our Own!

#the superior loki series

[thesuperiorlokiseries]

(1/2) You guys have renewed some of the hope I had lost in storytelling and people taking stories and characters like this seriously (thanks Marvel, Disney). The more time that passes and the more I hear people praising the Show in one breath and either ignoring or dismissing or sneering at Loki's characterization in Thor 1/Avengers/Thor 2 in the next breath, I can't help but feel that the Loki we got in those three films was a happy accident almost. Because it's obvious that outside of our

(2/3) outside of our (apparently) small corner of the fandom nobody actually cares about him or what he went through or that characterization, and it's disheartening. It just feels, every time I am reminded of the absolute retcon Loki's character went through and people just going along with it and the assholes who have shown just blatant disrespect and maliciousness towards him and his fandom get rewarded, (3/3) it feels like the universe is saying, "This thing that you have become so deeply emotionally invested in, and that you love, and you connect with on a fundamental level, this thing that has given you comfort and has been a source of strength and identity for years, yeah this thing is actually garbage and if you like it then you're wrong." It's just super hard so the fact that you're doing this project is amazing and... thank you. (okay im done)

Thank you so much for the support, sorry that it took us this long to answer, and by the gods do we all feel you. All I can really say, though is this: welcome to the hellscape that is late-stage capitalism.

There are a thousand tumblr posts that talk about this in detail and in multiple different contexts, but it probably cannot be illustrated any more poignantly than with the Loki Series: what we're getting in the name of movies/shows aren't stories, but content, and shitty content at that. Disney and the MCU simply do not care about character arcs or narratives - the sole motive that keeps them churning out project after soulless project is how much money they can squeeze out of each. And since it's the MCU - the most popular film franchise out there, and owned by Disney on top - they can and do pay critics to praise their trash relentlessly, and even if they didn't, there's always going to be far too many people blindly willing to eat up whatever garbage they produce.

They knew how massive and dedicated Loki's fanbase is, they knew exactly how willing far too many fans were to accept even the barest scraps of Loki content, and they knew exactly what to do to keep us willing to watch it - the sheer amount of manipulation that occurred in the trailers and the interviews is frankly insane, and most certainly very, very deliberate. Moreover, Loki is a queer, heavily-other coded, abused character whose most dedicated fanbase consists of women, queer people, neurodivergent people, and other minority groups - it is not a new phenomenon that showrunners actively go out of their way to sabotage characters whose fanbases don't consist primarily of NT cishet men, and are we really surprised the megacorporation still funding Florida's Don't Say Gay bill might torture, dehumanize, and humiliate a queer character on his own show?

In retrospect, it's ridiculous that so many of us - me included, I will admit - actually hoped that the MCU of all possible franchises might give us a decent show about a queer, traumatized, othered victim of abuse who's always represented deviance and rebellion against the status quo. Nobody could have expected the Larry Show to be this nightmarish, but a decent Loki Series... realistically wasn't going to happen in the hellscape that was the year of our lord 2021, not one made by Disney.

Of course, this isn't nearly limited to Disney - Amazon's recent Rings of Power series immediately comes to mind. The Peter Jackson movies had their flaws, but the LOTR fandom almost unanimously loves them because it's evident how much care was poured into the project. The Amazon series, though? HAH.

So while the universe isn't telling us anything, Disney - and Amazon and Netflix and every other corporation you can think of, really - and their bootlickers most certainly are. "Oh, so you want characters and narratives that represent and resonate with you? You want arcs that are satisfying and meaningful? You're dissatisfied with consuming and paying for our garbage content and actually want something that's fulfilling and impactful and made out of any motive beyond relentless profit? Hah, lol no."

Does that mean that they're right?

Hell no. What we all desire and deserve are not products but stories - ones where character arcs and themes actually matter, ones with messages and characters that truly resonate with us, ones crafted and told with love - because stories have connected us all since way before the dawn of human civilization, because stories are inherently a part of humanity, and because capitalism has no right to destroy that, especially not the story of the god of them.

This project is, and always will be, a gigantic fuck you to them all.
