also loki/sylvie ONLY works as a m/f pairing. marvel would NEVER had gone there if sylvie identified as a male loki. and if they had gone there, we’d see countless articles about how disturbing and disgusting it was, instead of all these “ooooh marvel is SoOoOo crazy, self-cest is sOoOo funny, it’s about self love get it huehue?” articles. because m/f relationships are allowed to be weird and twisted and lowkey disgusting and still be allowed to exist and be portrayed on screen, but same-sex relationships can barely hold hands without people threatening to boycott the show.
no, loki/sylvie is not a heterosexual relationship because neither of the characters are heterosexual. i understand that. but it’s a relationship that is allowed to exist solely because one character has presented solely as male, and the other solely as female. them slapping “fluid” to loki’s medical chart and then doing absolutely nothing to show that they’re actually fluid does not count as good rep.
People in MCU movies got to keep saying shit like “well THAT just happened” cuz the actors don’t have any context for their scenes
Thor: *points at green wall*
“You take the little guy, I’ll take the big guy”
*both guys in question are 5 months away from completion in the studio*
fucking this tho
Elizabeth Olsen: “This time, they actually decided not to give us scripts. They gave me my pages, then they explained other things that are happening.” When she actually sees the completed film, Olsen admitted, “I’ll be so shocked and surprised.” “I’ll be like, ‘Oh, I see!. That’s what was happening to the world at that time.” (x)
Sebastian Stan didn’t even know that Bucky Barnes was one of the characters who was snapped away. He was just told to “fall,” and he had to ask both of the Russo brothers before either of them gave him an answer.
Brie Larson: “I had no idea what I was shooting, what the movie was. I didn’t know if anybody else was in a scene with me. I didn’t know anything. And it’s not until you show up that you get your pages for the day. But you only get your part. So it was like a scene that was completely black redacted, and then just my one line.” (x)
“RDJ was probably the only one to actually read the entire script,” Joe Russo told Rotten Tomatoes, adding: “I think Benedict [Cumberbatch] got the script that included his scenes only. Maybe [Chris] Evans might have read the script.”
“Tom Holland gets his lines and that’s it,“ Joe Russo revealed at an Endgame event. "He doesn’t even know who he’s acting opposite of. We’ll just, we use like very vague terms to describe to him what is happening in the scene, because he has a very difficult time keeping his mouth shut.” (x)

This isn’t right, it isn’t quirky, and it’s not something any journalist should be praising (if you read the articles I linked they seem to be happy with this behaviour? WTF). It’s unacceptable.
this is just bad filmmaking
Sebastian Stan didn’t even know about Steve’s ending until about 45 minutes before they were supposed to shoot the scene. When he asked "wouldn’t they have a conversation about this?” he was told it happened off screen.
Here is a more recent quote where he talks about no one knowing wtf was going on
