Wraith of J.O.I. posted:idk man this IP fever has got to break sometime soon (i keep telling myself, hoping it does but not sure if it will) Nostalgia has a weird loving grip on people and we're going through the 90s again. And even if something sucks, they will just push out another new one. It's kind of the paradox. If it's a hit, that's another sequel. If it's poo poo, well they aren't going to go for something original next time.

HootTheOwl posted:That's not his character arc and he's portrayed as right at the end of the series? there is, unfortunately, no fundamental change in the universe before or after Kang’s death. it isn’t much worse. timelines were pruned, timelines are pruned; variants were purged, variants are purged; bad things did happen, bad things are happening. but while that was just one (and probably the most likely) potential outcome, we know that Loki assuming control of the sacred timeline would have been no different: timelines would have been pruned, variants would have been purged, bad things would have happened. by killing Kang, Sylvie gave the universe a chance to exercise free will and potentially find a new path - that another tyrant showed up is incidental to her decision to remove him from power. she made the morally correct choice. it’s like how the French were right to end the ancien regime and Napoleon ascending to the throne to rampage across Europe doesn’t change that fact. if all he wanted was for Sylvie to be safe and to be with her, they could have survived quite peacefully at that castle beyond time whether they ruled the timeline or not. they’d have control of Alioth. any variant Kang who made it that far wouldn’t have the tools or skills to defeat them. Loki just wanted to be the one to decide which path they’d take, and every previous episode underlines this as a fundamental aspect of his character. but all of this aside, to me it’s very simple in the end: if Loki assumed Kang’s position he’d be forcing Mobius, Loki’s only friend in the universe, to become a slave, massacring his variant brothers and sisters for eternity. if you think that portrayal makes him “right” I don’t know what to tell you

Ultimately I think the message of Loki wasn't that change was bad (the TVA was presented throughout the series as incredibly misguided dupes at best, and willingly monstrous at worst, so I don't think the status quo was tenable), but that if you want to change things you need to do more than just destroy what is, you need to be ready to accept responsibility for building something that comes after. In the end, for all his power lust, Loki found the responsibility intimidating and decided to focus instead on more personal stakes; Sylvie's primary interest, meanwhile, was just revenge with little interest in the consequences. Loki was the liberal, Sylvie the (television) anarchist, and both were wrong in different ways.

It's not incedental it's exactly what the villain said would happen. I don't know how to have a bigger sign that a protagonist is wrong than by having the villain monlogue for twenty minutes about the consequences of a character's actions and then be 100% right when the protagonist does the one the villain didn't want. How do you know that isn't what they were going to do? The only evidence that he wasn't going to this was Sylvie declaring he wasn't going to do it. You're making assumptions about the actions of the characters which require you to ignore what's depicted on the screen.

Falstaff posted:if you want to change things you need to do more than just destroy what is, you need to be ready to accept responsibility for building something that comes after. like removed from the context of the show I fully agree with this point, but as far as the MCU goes there is no planning for infinite contingencies, which is a necessary consequence of allowing free will in a multiversal cosmos with easy travel between timelines. that’s why Kang’s solution was to remove free will and only keep one timeline. he could have kept two timelines maybe, a dev and a prod timeline, will but he didn’t I don’t think Sylvie was abrogating responsibility for her decision, she even seems to grudgingly agree that Kang could be right by the end of their fight

She doesn't care what comes after, even in the face of multiversal armageddon, she just wants the man who hurt her (and countless others) to die.

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:idk man this IP fever has got to break sometime soon (i keep telling myself, hoping it does but not sure if it will) It will never break. So long there are fans of a thing that will pay enough to get what they want, and people willing to make it, -it will continue. The majority of human life has been a constant "IP fever." Think of the cristian religion as popular culture. -The Jesus fan base. King Author, Sherlock Holmes, Don Quixote all these things have never stopped. Just like how Pokemon, Ninja turtles, and Scooby Doo have never stopped. You are a weird person. It's not your fault. You were raised in a world where there is just a constant churn of "new IPs" or just "New Release." (Fatal Attraction became Swimfan ) Nobody called Muppet Babies a reboot. Movie watchers had to invent a concept to make themselves feel comfortable And what comforts movie watchers more than anything else is the breaking up of history. Movie watchers don't want to have to remember anything. For a brief moment gaming took on the term "moment to moment experience." as a way to replace talking about mechanics. And people went back to mechanics because it was lame. Final Fantasy 7 Remake mazzi Chart Czar has issued a correction as of 22:03 on Jul 16, 2021 |

If any problem it's the wider media that subtracts there being Marxists that want to do the rebuilding so it always ends up being despotic reactionaries that get to rebuild.

Knight posted:When I was reading descriptions of these I thought it was weird to complain about Looney Tunes making pop culture references when it was common to base an episode around Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall showing up to a restaurant (1947), or Wile E Coyote puts on a Batman costume to try to catch the Roadrunner (1956), but that's pretty jarring. If you saw someone photoshop the Roadrunner into a shot from Fury Road and shared it on Twitter you'd probably get a lot of chuckles, but it's not really a gag worth filling out minutes of a feature film. Instead it comes across like more of a threat that they own all these properties and now they can make them kith. So many clips of this movie feel way better to just make as an advertisement for HBO Max. It's what I hate of this thing. It's a 2 hour commercial.
