With series 2 of Loki starting streaming (eep!), I thought I’d discuss something about series 1 that tends to get missed in the online talky-talks (aka ‘The Discourse™.’)

Before we go any further though — this post is gonna have SPOILERS for series 1 of Loki.

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERRRRSSS!!!!!

OK, you can’t say I didn’t warn you, let’s talk Loki -

In the series, Loki falls in love with Sylvie — a female alternate version of himself from a different timeline.

And honestly — who can blame him? She’s… *fans self*

Anyway, a lot of people were… irrationally angry about this.

For a variety of reasons — some valid, some not-so-valid.
