‘Loki’: Why are fans offended by this Marvel TV show now?
Loki released its fourth episode “Nexus Event” yesterday. With it, there were some revelations, some deaths(?), and more twists & turns from a show that really wants you to think how clever it is. The Marvel TV series, however, threw in some vibes that had fans side-eyeing hard. It’s not a full-blown controversy, but, well, it definitely takes the concept of self-love to another level.
Minor spoiler warning, but there were some heavily romantic vibes between Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and his female counterpart Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino). It certainly looked like they were feeling some feelings for each other, which was, well, a vibe. While we could just write it off, many fans of the Marvel TV show were feeling a bit offended by the vibes.
Let’s take a look to see how fans are feeling about this on Twitter.

No this makes sense
Bless him, but this is pretty in character for Loki, especially 2012 Loki.

To all the people who are "disgusted" after what happened in episode four, here are Tom's words about the relationship of #loki and #sylvie pic.twitter.com/gaw0NcKiuD— 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒂 🖤 (@agentmaximoff13) June 30, 2021
Hmmm . . .
Okay, well, maybe Tom Hiddleston has cleared things up.
I totally agree that it is very weird of the show to hint #Sylvie and #Loki together as a romantic couple but you have to admit that Loki having a crush on Loki is peak Loki moment and you can’t even argue with that. pic.twitter.com/da8q0mLkbu

It really is in his character
Seriously, though, this is honestly pretty funny.

Plot twist!
Maybe that TVA agent was actually the Loki fandom.
When Loki said love is an imaginary dagger, and it disappears when you reach for it, this is what he meant #loki #Sylvie #Mobius pic.twitter.com/stdMwcAkEo

The metaphor did come into play
Behold, the real imaginary dagger.
