Glad to see that The Direct continues to mixup the meaning of sex and gender. Oh the Twitter memories..

I remain convinced that Sylvie is not a Loki variant. She repeatedly rejects every attempt to call her “Loki.”

My opinion, for what it’s worth is that she is a Loki (Asgard, adopted, princess, Jotun, etc) but she hasn’t learn yet how to shape shift. Just as Loki didn’t master enchantment yet.

She’s not Jotun according to some leaked picture. But it lists her as female, and still calls her “laufeyson” at the same time, so perhaps it’s flawed info.

The showrunners don't know how Norse names (or genders) work. Plus, no one in that show is a Loki. 😂

The writers are... How do I say this nicely?

"You" being the Loki (with no actual Lokis) show writers... and the poor fools taking part of this brutal murder of the glorious character of a norse god.

no but they literally don’t even know that Loki is a name. They talk about being “a Loki” like it’s a job title bc they think it’s a role. That’s why they didn’t realize Loki/Sylvie would be read by many people as incest. Bc they thought o fit like Gwen/Miles in Spiderverse even tho Gwen and Miles are totally different ppl who happen to occupy the same superhero role in their respective universes. “Loki” though is the name of a specific person. But the writers didn’t even get that.

Okay, but can we talk about how desperate the direct.com is to try to give Loki2021 credit it clearly does not deserve.

Oh, Loki could be genderfluid or maybe there’s variant that’s agender or something. I mean the director basically gave a complete non answer, but there could potentially be representation and isn’t that basically the same as actually having it? 

Yeah, they clearly want to be Spiderverse, but the succusses of Spiderverse not just the film but all the different comic and cartoon versions is love for Spider-Man and all the different iterations. The core of a good crossover is seeing all your favorites interact with each other. But Loki2021 doesn’t care about Loki. It just wants to promote it new OC. I’d say Sylvie is the Silk but even Cindy dosen’t deserve such an insult.

Every single time they open their mouths to try to clarify the Sylvie-is-Loki-but-no-she’s-not-stop-saying-she-is conundrum, I just facepalm even harder, cause like………… why didn’t they just make her a different person.

Like they don’t seem to understand that the reason Miles/Gwen isn’t disgusting is because they fill the same role but they’re not the same person. The reason Thor/Jane as The Might Thor isn’t disgusting is because they fill the same role but they’re not the same person. If they had paired Tom!Peter with Toby!Peter or Andrew!Peter, it would be disgusting because they are the same person. They’re all Spider-Man’s but they’re also all Peter Parker’s. They have roughly the same backstories. They all had an Aunt May and an Uncle Ben and some variation of Mary Jane.

The same goes for the s*lki bullshit. If they had just made her Sylvie Lushton- a sorceress from earth (sort of)- who fills the role of the Goddess of Mischief in her timeline… problem solved! She’d still have the horns and the magic and the green and black, but no selfcest! Cause she’d fill the same role as Loki but would be a different person.

But no, they literally made her Loki. They’re the same person. Her birth name was Loki, her biological father is Laufey, she was raised in Asgard, she was a princess of the realm…. they’re the same damn person. All because the writers wanted her to have all his lore with none of the thematic work. And they were willing to make it incest-adjacent to do that.
