Ok, in that case I'll spoil away (but maybe don't publish this if you have followers who don't want spoilers?): Basically, the way Thor is portrayed in Endgame is extremely messed up and disrespectful to his character. He kills Thanos in the beginning, but then 5 years later he's an alcoholic idiot with a potbelly and he stays that comic relief "drunk idiot" character until the end and it's all played for laughs. His character isn't taken seriously at any point and he never even mentions Loki.

//I think I will publish this one to warn people. I heard about this part and it really troubles me.  It’s incredibly ableist and fatphobic for one. Beyond that, it’s incredibly disrespectful to a character with tremendous potential.  

As annoyed as I am at Chris Hemsworth for other reasons, I can certainly see how this would deeply upset him.

I saw the anon telling you watch the movie and at the end of the day it's up to you, but I saw it and absolutely hated it, and not just for Loki-related reasons (idk if you're ok with spoilers so I won't be more specific than that).

//I already know that I find it objectively terrible, and deeply disrespectful to all the previous writers, directors, and actors, like a big scorched-earth retcon. Even if scenes are well acted, I know I will still despise the writing.  While I also respect the anon’s feelings on the matter, you can feel free to spoil anything.

  I am glad  that a version of Loki is still alive, and I’ll be exploring it as one of my verses on this blog, but it could have been handled far, far better. It could not be more abundantly obvious that this long clunky final installment of the MCU was a ploy to create spinoff shows dealing with the new sort of “AU canon” aftermath. Marvel is amazingly corrupt and greedy and they crammed their content into the mold of “keep chucking out low-quality crap that’ll create continual revenue.”

I agree with the rest of your commentary, though, and I'm also VERY proud of Loki. Also, oh my god, Odin's death scene. From "I love you, my sons" to "Frigga would have been proud" (which he says specifically to Loki), that scene made me so emotional! I'm glad Odin finally said those things to Loki, even if it really was too little, too late.

//I was so pleasantly surprised by that scene, yes!!!

I don't think Loki's evil again (that would just be bad writing after Ragnarok), but I'm really worried he might die. We don't see him in the rest of the trailer, so I'm worried Thanos is just going to take the tesseract in that scene and then kill Loki. And I'm worried it's going to completely be played for shock value (like a shocking movie opener to show Thanos means business). Loki deserves so much better than that...

//I would like to think that the Russo Brothers are more observant about the tenor of the fandom than that. Even though Waititi’s writing of Thor and Loki’s relationship had its flaws, he clearly saw that their sibling dynamic is at the heart of Thor’s branch of the MCU franchise, and made their reconciliation so central that I think no one would be stupid enough to follow that up by killing Loki off in the first scene of the movie. Moreover it’d be so out of character of him to not have a back up plan for self preservation and escape.  

I can’t promise you that Loki won’t die in Infinity War, or that he’ll have more than a couple of short scenes, but I doubt his death will be that early or meaningless.  <3

Aww, I'm a bit sad you didn't like the part with the play. I agree that it was played for laughs and that Loki including his Jotun heritage in it was kind of ooc, but I also saw it as a way of Loki finally being able to tell his own story and come to terms with his heritage? And I kept thinking how healing it must have been for Loki to see the Asgardians' positive reactions, how moved they were, how they didn't think of him as a monster, etc. so yeah, idk, I really liked that scene

//Oh I loved the rest of it, for sure! I loved the fact that a woman grabbed onto Thor and started sobbing about it, lol, I loved that Loki was permitted a chance to see the narrative about him changing in Asgard.

At the same time it was difficult to see thatA) he had to construct that new narrative himself, and no one else was there to advocate the change,andB) the audience is meant to see the scene as melodramatic, ridiculous and self-absorbed, instead of a much-needed respite from being hated and mistrusted by his own people. andC) the “little blue baby” part in particular was kinda a tasteless joke when the whole Jotun heritage thing is an actual metaphor for being a minority/person of color from a culture that’s Othered.  I just felt like Waititi was trying too hard to make what was like, Shakespearean and weighty before into something silly and funny and it was a jarring shift toward the content. It just dampered it for me, but I’m still glad for Lokes for sure!
