But the subtext, in this case, was also horrific.

It was queer-baiting it was subtext that was never made text, which gives them plausible deniability. Which makes it all the more baffling to me that people see Ragnarok as “positive queer representation” in the MCU. But I also think it was played for laughs, which is inexcusable given the circumstances of the implied relationship. I do think the implication was intentional it wasn’t just the blinking, it was the entire dynamic between them, including that last gif. If you honestly think Loki was happy on Sakaar, please allow me to explain the 1,001 reasons why you’re wrong. But your fetishism of abusive gay relationships is not is such ignorant bullshit and I just don’t understand how it’s so prevalent. Fine for them, go ahead, have fun and roll around in your cesspit. And this has taken this wild ride down toxic avenues that glorify and fetishize abuse from the perspective of the abuser, because some people find that fun. No, rather its a warped fan misinterpretation of the three seconds GM spent looking at a repulsed and uncomfortable Loki, who keeps flinching away from him. However - it is not canon in the script, and is not meant to be a representative gay ship (thankfully, as I would lose my shit if this was Marvels’ idea of representing homosexuality.) It’s not even queerbaiting, although it comes across as such, because its not intentional. This is why people make “fan edits” like this one found on Instagram: For fucks sake. Yay, we have a canon gay ship, where the one guy rapes the other! Whoo hoo, as if male rape isn’t already merely laughed at! As if homosexuality isn’t already painted as gross and weird! As if gay men aren’t already portrayed as sacrificing their dignity by engaging in homosexual relations! And Loki is made a fool for it, while everyone wanks over his victimization, calls him a whore and laughs at him. If this ship is canon, it is slavery and coercion, which is rape. Homosexuality already gets precious little representation, is this the best they can do? The ship itself is originating in dysfunction. Norse mythology is filled with wild shit that is unlikely to ever be included in a Marvel movie. Forgive me if the idea of Loki sucking dick to avoid being melted to death does not appeal to me, especially after all the mistreatment he’s endured.Īnd I’m over the people who think that comparing MCU Loki to Norse mythology Loki is a valid argument for…anything. Any relationship with him would be woefully imbalanced. The Grandmaster, while entertaining, is amoral and cruel. I have an issue with the fetishization of abuse.

The very same people who claim to want accurate representation cling to demeaning stereotypes with disconcerting ferocity. Just a lot of wishful thinking from people who see gay subtext in everything. There is no such reference in the script, and no such intention from either actor. I mean i like the idea of Loki having some fun but yeah no TLDR Ragnarok still sucks and Loki still deserves betterĮven Myth!Loki would give the Grandmaster the SideEye imho I’m honestly still waiting for someone to explain to me how 3 seconds of Jeff Goldblum blinking while Loki looks uncomfortable is definitive proof of a sexual relationship.īut that aside, the power dynamic and Loki’s obvious extreme discomfort any time he’s around the Grandmaster are solid evidence to me that if there was anything sexual between them, it wasn’t (and in fact couldn’t have been) consensual.
