Cheese_Crackers 06/14/21 2:20:35 AM #208:	I feel like we're going in circles here. I understand that the Marvel comic lore has certain aspects that have been mainstays for some time, including time travel and the multiverse. But that says absolutely nothing about the implementation of it in other media. I'm arguing about the quality of the writing in Loki as an MCU property. "It happened in the comics" is not a defense of the writing, just like changing the lore from the comics to the MCU is not a criticism of the writing. How many tweaks to the lore have been made in adapting the comics to the MCU? Infinity War is clearly an adaptation of the Infinity Gauntlet storyline, but the movie is extremely different. Thanos's core motivation was changed, and I'd argue all day that it fits the MCU better. I don't care if they leave time travel or the multiverse out of the MCU. Whatever they do, just make it good. Hell, most of the good MCU movies make no reference to it (Civil War, GotG, IW). For the record, I have read some standalone comics like IG and Civil War, but no, I wouldn't consider myself a comics fan. --- Though the fear of death is a common one, the fear of life is a more rational one. <cite>Cheese_Crackers posted [p:954982415] in Loki singl...
