10 Times The MCU Gave Fans EXACTLY What They Wanted (And They Hated It)
4. Loki's Gender & Sexuality
Loki is one of the most popular characters in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, from his wonderfully evil ways in Thor and The Avengers, to his show-stealing performance in The Dark World, and his sacrifice in Infinity War. There’s no wonder why he was given his own Disney+ series.
This has arguably been the strongest series so far, and stood out for many reasons. The God of Mischief had his character explored more than ever before, with different Variants, and fans wondered if his gender and sexuality would be addressed.
Throughout the series, it was confirmed that Loki was a gender-fluid being, and that he was bisexual. Both of these aspects of his character were things that fans had been desperate to see for some time, and though they rejoiced, there were many that still took issue. This was simply because the series didn’t explore these things enough.
A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it field filled in on a TVA form, and a passing remark about a few male romantic interests were all fans got. In an entire series based around the God of Mischief, MCU fans weren’t happy that this was all these huge revelations were relegated to, instead of actually becoming a part of his character.
