thelokishow the hot new tv: trope...bottom storage. tgp: bottom storage = when your gay-coded villain is defeated but is too charismatic and important to the plot to actually be killed off and is also too interesting to be put in actual prison, but also needs to be accessible for talking to or possibly being a b-character in future movies with a different villain? he gets put, in Bottom Storage. which is a prison with no actual bars on it that instead looks like huge tupperware. and he goes in there. Still of Ian McKellen's Magneto in a glass prison Still of Mads Mikkelsen's Hannibal in a glass prison being visited by his boyfriend Will Graham Still of Loki in a glass prison being visited Still from something I don;t know, but the charismatic-looking gay is in the tupperware.
