Though being a show about alternate selves and time travel with an immortal protagonist inclined to fake his own death, Loki <i>could</i> have gone in that direction, and I guess still could!<br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://alias-sqbr.dreamwidth.org/846932.html#cutid1">Spoilers</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=alias_sqbr&ditemid=846932" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-09-23:447961:846781 2021-06-16T13:24:43Z 2021-06-16T13:24:43Z public 0 I have been watching and enjoying the Marvel show Loki. It's overall quite good, asides from the <i>very unfortunate</i> choice to make the two most significant black female characters humourless killjoys who want to murder the main character, while the white dudes get to be fun. Their characters aren't <i>totally</i> awful individually (like many people, they have reason to want to kill Loki!), but taken together...nng :/<br /><br />But other than that it's a fun, weird little show about Loki getting tangled up with the secret organisation in charge of maintaining the timeline of the universe. As with Wandvision there's twists and turns that make it fun to watch week to week, Cam and I have fun watching together and then discussing it. <br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://alias-sqbr.dreamwidth.org/846781.html#cutid1">No spoilers but more details</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=alias_sqbr&ditemid=846781" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
