This episode’s host, Ryan Thomas Lynch, chats with Sergio Ruiz, his good friend and fraternity brother who is a huge Marvel fan, about how the hit Disney+ show Loki is able to put its characters in very relatable situations despite narrative of the show being about the literal “God of Mischief” who gets arrested by an omnipotent time traveling bureaucracy (oops, spoiler warning). We talk about what we think the show did right, what it didn’t have to do, and what it did wrong in using fantasy elements to create the lifelike scenarios for its characters. Then they try to extrapolate that idea further into how fantasy should be used by others to make their stories more enjoyable and more relatable – without being too confusing or rules heavy ‐ handed allegories.
