I NEED EVERYONE TO LISTEN. THIS. RIGHT. NOW. IS A PEAK ERA TO BE A MARVEL FAN.

THE DOOMSDAY TEASER IS DROPPING IN THEATERS. IN CINEMAS. ON A GIANT SCREEN. LIKE A SACRED TEXT PASSED DOWN TO THE FAITHFUL.

THE SMBND MOVIE IS COMING. WONDER MAN IS COMING. THE UNIVERSE IS EXPANDING AGAIN LIKE IT JUST REMEMBERED WHO IT IS.

AND ME? I AM STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS LIKE: YEAH. YEAH I STAYED. YEAH I BELIEVED. YEAH I DEFENDED THIS FRANCHISE IN GROUP CHATS LIKE IT WAS MY FULL-TIME JOB.

I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH THIS UNIVERSE FOR YEARS. THROUGH THE DISCOURSE. THROUGH THE “IT’S OVER” THINKPIECES. THROUGH THE TRUST-THE-PROCESS ERA. THROUGH PEOPLE ACTING LIKE CARING DEEPLY WAS EMBARRASSING.

AND NOW LOOK AT US.

ANNOUNCEMENTS. HYPE. JOY. FANDOM BUZZING LIKE A LIVE WIRE.

THIS IS NOT JUST CONTENT. THIS IS VALIDATION.

THIS IS MARVEL TURNING AROUND, POINTING DIRECTLY AT THE LONG-TIME FANS, AND SAYING: “HEY. THANK YOU FOR LOVING US LOUDLY.”

I FEEL PRIDE. I FEEL JOY. I FEEL LIKE A DERANGED LITTLE CREATURE RUBBING ITS HANDS TOGETHER IN A THEATER SEAT WAITING FOR THE LOGO TO HIT THE SCREEN.

CINEMA IS FUN. FANDOM IS ALIVE. AND I AM ABSOLUTELY THRIVING IN MY OBSESSION.

I DID NOT STAY FOR NOTHING. THIS ERA IS FOR US.

AND IF YOU SEE ME EMOTIONALLY LEVITATING WHEN THE TEASER PLAYS? TRUST ME WHEN I DAY

Part 2 of my Wizard Maze comic based on @wizardsisananimal’s amazing quiz that you can play here.

Read part 1 here

I don’t understand. I just don’t understand. Do they hate him or something? Did they decide he was too boring? Too domineering? The ideas from the art book are so good - they’re what I’d make an au out of. They’re like fanart I’ve seen for YEARS - a DECADE ago people were making Victorian or Cowboy or Steampunk or Fantasy Loki fanart and I was in absolute awe of it. People still make it and I’m STILL in awe

They have cowboy loki in the comics! It’s just as canon as the president Loki they maimed for comedy!

Do they hate him?? Is he not enough for them??

Do they not understand how much we love him???
