I feel like the worst Loki fan in the world because I'm not excited about this. At all.

I knew it was extremely likely I wouldn't get "Loki has to team up with Thor and the Avengers and awkwardness ensues" in Infinity War but I was still disappointed. This rumoured show feels a bit like they're saying "hey this ought to shut you all up!" when in the main cinematic continuity (the only thing most casual viewers care about) we still got to watch Loki die perhaps one of the most drawn out and graphic deaths in the MCU. Idk. I'm perhaps still a hurting stan but the more I think about how they decided to end his arc, the more it feels excessively cruel.

Also I would very much be here for the popular fandom wish of Loki, Scarlet Witch and Strange somehow teaming up and using their various magical abilities together. These shows wouldn't be that I feel.

I'm also still very upset with what they did with Loki in Infinity War. I agree it was a drawn out and graphic death (also OOC- Loki always has a trick up his sleeve- he's a trickster! He's not going to act so stupid). I feel like the way they ended his arc is a big 'fuck you' to his fans! As a result, I'm not too bothered with the next film. I agree they wasted potential on a very interesting storyline with Loki teaming up with the Avengers (I also have problems with other aspects of IW but won't get into it).
However, I am excited for this tv series. Is it a hint they'll revive Loki in IW 2? Or will it be set in the past?

Also disagree OP. Loki has always been a very popular character in the Marvel Universe. That's precisely why they kept bringing him back again and again.

I am going to be on the more pessemistic side and think this will be a prequel series rather than Loki after being revived from or escaping entirely that awful death.

I have a feeling you and I have had similar conversations before (or I've encountered someone on anon who agrees with us both!) in that I broadly agree with you and have different views on a few minor things. Overall, IW felt like "fuck you for thinking this guy could be important" etc.

I just feel that if they knew Loki is a popular character and has a big fanbase, they dispatched him in a fairly insulting way compared to if it were, for example, Thor or even Iron Man. Being a Loki fan has really opened my eyes to how little mainstream writers know how to deal properly with reformed villains and/or morally ambiguous characters who are perhaps unexpectedly popular. The writers and directors knew he was popular and decided to upset the fans anyway. I can't help feel all the pre-IW talk of "the opening scene will shock you!" was a load of shit because it was obvious Loki was going to bite it. One of the actual non-ambiguous heroes dying properly (not simply reversibly dusted) would've been shocking. Loki dying wasn't seeing as they basically sign posted it in the trailers.

I feel you on this. Loki is at his best when he has people to play off of, and I have no faith that TPTB will surround him with anyone interesting.
