‘Why are they in the hotel from The Shining, tho?’: Thoughts on Episode 1 of Loki
Disney+’s Loki, episode 1, was cool -
(don’t worry this is a SPOILER-free zone)
— like the first episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS,) it showed a lot of promise.
Fingers crossed, it delivers!
(Yes, I am an episode behind, so no SPOILERS please.)
And Loki was confirmed as Gender-Fluid!
(No, that’s not a SPOILER, because Queer identities are not SPOILERS, and Loki has been all kinds of Queer in the comics for a long time — this is the correction of some b*llsh** Cis/Straight-washing. #NowYaKnow)
Well, kinda confirmed as Gender-Fluid. It was an easter egg. In Loki’s file at the Time Variants Authority (TVA) if you look really close, it says ‘Sex — Fluid’.
Hopefully we’ll get more explicit acknowledgement of this — because Tom Hiddleston seems like he’d be on board, from interviews he’s done, and because I am f**king watching you, Marvel, after the sh** you pulled with TFATWS 😒
