THE ROMANCE IS CANON, BUT AT WHAT COST? (but it's canon?? but what at what cost? IT'S CANON!)

... Because for as much time as they spent apart in Season 2, in the eyes of the creative team, it was Loki and Sylvie's romance that drove the events of Season 2 to their bittersweet conclusion.

In an interview with Collider's Therese Lacson, executive producer Kevin Wright disagreed with the suggestion that their relationship was less important in the second season, saying:

"I would disagree with the assessment that we downplayed the relationship. They may not be stopping to kiss. Everything is driven because of the deep emotions that these two people have for one another. Everything that happens this season, I think, is still a ripple effect from Sylvie feeling deeply wounded and saying like, “why aren't we seeing this the same way?” This person is probably the first person in her life she ever opened up to. And Loki trying to get this person who he's seeing is making the same mistakes that he made in the MCU 10 years ago, going down these blind paths of vengeance and anger and all this, and he's trying to prevent this person from going down that path, because he deeply loves them and cares about them."

For Wright, the life-or-death, timeline-spanning consequences of Season 2 meant there was less time for the cute and cuddly moments, but that doesn't mean their relationship is any less romantic:

"You get that in Season 1 because they get stuck on a train together on Lamentis and you get to have that romantic moment, because two characters who at that moment can't stand each other, then have to spend an afternoon together, and an evening on the train. Or they get stuck in the void together. They just don't have those moments to get on the same page [in Season 2.]"

For as much as Wright sees the plot of Season 2 as stemming directly from how much Loki and Sylvie care about each other, that's cold comfort to fans who were hoping to see the two gods of mischief ride off into the sunset together. For Wright, though, this is what made their romance more realistic, as he told Lacson:

"I think it felt natural, and more realistic, and messy, and I think that was our thing is like real relationships are messy. And we wanted to do that and not force something that felt inauthentic just to like service fan dreams of seeing these two happy together. They both need a lot of personal work to get to a place where they could have a good relationship "

So Wright is basically saying that the romance is still there, but they didn't have a moment like in Lamentis or the void to talk about it. So it would unrealistic to bring it up... which I could totally understand IF the show should last 12 episodes and we would have actual time to drag their relationship and IF we didn't have...

  1. the scene at the bar
  2. the scene at the TVA automat
  3. the scene outside McDonald's (twice)
  4. the scene at the Citadel!
  5. the scene were he stopped the time to talk to her!

so, what are you saying, my man??

Also fan service for making them kiss?? YOU made them kiss in first season, no one ask that! i mean, we wanted maybe, but that was unexpected and now making them kiss is fan survice. let me LOL harder!

And to the last quote says "they need a lot of personal work" to get to a good relationship. Again i would love to see that man, but when tho?? you're saying this like there's another season coming solely focused on their relationship??? because i would be so in! hahaha

(this was long so, thanks for reading!)

Idk its not just shipping goggles that are the problem to me. The end was cool and all but over and over again the show said loki didn't want to/deserve to be alone. So much was set up (including sylvie's backstory, which was never fully explored/explained) just for none of it to get properly developed, and now loki is alone forever :/

  • Sylkis backstory
  • The nexus event thing
  • Pie room (Why everyone ends up in there suddenly)
  • Whatever happened to Renslayer and Brad
  • The rule of two thing set up by HWR in season 1
  • The “Burden are both (loki & sylvie) to bear” adverts
  • Loki not wanting to be alone

All those build up and??? We’re left with all these plotholes and there wont be a season 3. I understand that there will be more after in coming shows or movies but the least you could do is finish up the other characters backstory/growth. Yeah, we’ll get more of them later but putting your main back in purgatory as the end does not. look good. at all. storytelling wise. Felt like ive been tricked to consume media only for it to disappoint me. It’s like an “Ahaha” moment. Very Disney.

05 & 06 felt like a sprint towards the end.

Also it makes me a little nauseous that they played the “grand” loki theme at the end like it’s something to be proud of. The reveal is cool — Really it was so cool! — but i cant help but feeling empty at the end there.

ANOTHER THING: get a woman in the writing room next time
