Well Ravona is linked to Kang, and we know he's in the next Ant Man, so there has to be some semblance of a link to what comes next. That mid credits scene, I reckon, is like a Soul Stone sort of place that that TVA has.

I think it is another timeline - rather than soul stone type of thing.

I think you are not erased, but moved from the TVA/Sacred TimeLine thing and dumped into *one* other timeline. Basically everyone the TVA has 'pruned' is dumped into one time/location - so we have all the Loki's that have previously been pruned. I would reckon we will also find Mobius. I assume Mobius will be in the same place rather than a Mobius pruned time/location separate to Loki.

Trailers had, what we now should take as a band of Loki's.... with Loki - so they will go from where they are to where the TVA are or where the final battle stuff will be. If it was soul-stone type thing I don't think it makes sense for them to be able to escape it. If it is simply another time/location then they can escape in the same way the TVA travel through time/space.

One other thing.... don't know if it was just I only really noticed yesterday, but the score for Ep 4 was effing fantastic.

I think it's been fantastic throughout. I love the title music as well.

Using that kind of info is kinda spoilery though.

I know people have mentioned Dr. Who vibes from this...but I'm getting Flash Gordon circa 1980 from these last 2 episodes

The absolute joy in Mobious in delivery those lines to Loki "You fell in love with yourself!" was amazing. Owen Wilson was excellent in that episode, all his scenes were so well done, with some brilliant lines and moments - either between him and loki or him and Ranova.

Acosta · 01-07-2021 5:24pm

Much better this week. Gearing up for a strong finish hopefully

twinex · 01-07-2021 8:47pm

Such a better episode from the last one, in almost every way. Less Loki face to face bad banter and more character(s) development, plot progression and Owen Wilson. He really is the soul of the show.

Now for some whinging….
At first, they were running for their lives in episode three and as their time on the doomed plant went on they seemed to be just sauntering around not caring about the pieces of moon hurtling towards them.

The fight scenes are terrible. Dr Who terrible

And lastly, is it just me or could Loki be completely removed and replaced by any other character in the MCU with very little tweaks and a couple of Easter eggs thrown in. What makes this the Loki show?

I didn't mind that. Up until the Ark got destroyed they had a purpose, and were running towards it. No point running if they had no escape plan.

I don’t care who you are, nobody wants a slap on the head from a piece of moon!

The CGI screen was behind them, they were in no fear of the falling planet (they were on the moon apparently) :pac:

Then this raises more questions like surely the planets gravitational force being greater than the moon would result in said moon travelling towards the plant and not vice versa……I’m thinking too much about the science of a made up story…..

Slydice · 01-07-2021 11:42pm

4: Wow! That was mad, I've no idea what's going on!

(bar time stuff/multi-verse stuff)

Brilliant!

Hope that's not the end of Owen Wilson in the series!

Reminder if missed in the thread so far: There's a mid-credit scene.

Mitch Connor · 01-07-2021 11:51pm

So when sylvee dropped the time pad things, creating loads of nexus events..... We were led to believe this was an unimaginable disaster.

Nothing happened and no one seemed to do much about it.

Seems odd. A whole pile of cut story?

The planet was exploding and ejecting material rather than a gravity effect. This was process of planetary ejection called Fizzy Wizzy Physicsie Zizzy... stuff

It’s been an excellent show, every bit as good as I would of hoped. One of my sons is disgusted it might only be a one off, he’s not usually like that so that’s as good an endorsement marvel could ask for.

I orginally thought that some of them will come into play in the future so maybe

I think it was a decoy to get alot of the TVA staff to leave the TVA building so that she could sneak in and get to the Timekeepers more easily.

pixelburp · 03-07-2021 8:55pm

Great episode that, lots of surprising turns and the pacing this time was perfect; I think it's fair to say we all thought there'd be SOMETHING going on at the TVA, given its fairly murderous modus operandi; even so, the showdown with the keepers still managed to engage and excite. And absolutely 100 points to the decision where - of course - Loki would fall in love with "himself".

Only quibble is that having had no mid-credits scene so far, suddenly dropping a fairly important one, given what had just transpired, was a poor decision. Could easily see someone stopping before it played, having presumed the show wasn't to have any at all.

Loving this show so far though and has been precisely what I'd hoped. Bold, colourful, imaginative with a decent story and appropriate cosmic stakes.

Lantus · 03-07-2021 9:49pm

Mid credit scene was a little mischievous alright.

The score for Episodes 1-3 is up on Spotify.

Varik · 03-07-2021 10:40pm

Would assume they show the mid credit again at the start of the next episode in either case.

CastorTroy · 03-07-2021 11:33pm

They don't usually show the mid credits scenes again, if I remember correctly. Next time will likely just see him talking to them or walking with them

kerplun k · 15-07-2021 7:37am

So they went there in a Disney+ show. Wow

kerplun k · 15-07-2021 7:39am

who would have thought an exposition heavy, bottle episode, which also happens to be the final could be that good,

They changed the MCU in a TV show. 🤯

twinex · 15-07-2021 8:04am

After completing the season, I still maintain that Loki could easily be taken out and replaced with any number of marvel characters be them hero’s or villains and the story (timeline even!) would have continued along its predestined path.

Brock Turnpike · 15-07-2021 8:05am

Enjoyed that finale. He Who Remains was played brilliantly by Jonathan Majors.

Was not expecting a second season. A pleasant surprise.

15-07-2021 8:42am

Weakest of the TV adaptions by a long shot for me.

Parallels had been drawn with Doctor Who before....a whiff of Willy Wonka off the last episode for me....just left me completely underwhelmed I'm afraid

Agent Coulson · 15-07-2021 8:50am

The bastard forgotten child AOS was still better than the three of these new MCU series.

Busi_Girl08 · 15-07-2021 8:50am

Really enjoyed the last two episodes. The ending of this one was an interesting one for me, the abrupt ending for a few seconds leftme a bit underwhelmed, until it hit me the ramifications it will have on the MCU from now on.

We have our multiverse!!!! 😁

Midnight_EG · 15-07-2021 9:52am

Been waiting all week to put this up

connemara man · 15-07-2021 10:18am

One of life's big questions was answered

If you met yourself of the opposite gender would you get off with them

Loki says yes

Yeah I know. I was being a big vague. But they could have gone about it in so many different ways, pun intended. I don’t mean to be overly pessimistic because I do love the premise, the production and the actors but the execution left me unsatisfied. Maybe in another timeline this show fulfilled its potential.

They have utterly depowered Loki, a fantastic antagonist to whomever he faced. Ever since his popularity began to increase the MCU seem to be compelled to set him on a redemption path and take away his more sinister/bad characteristics. Now he’s just an unsure, anxious analyst.

Drumpot · 15-07-2021 12:06pm

Thought it was a great show . Kids loved it and cheered when they saw there will be a second season . .

expectationlost · 15-07-2021 12:25pm

another pandemic constrained show

disappointing ending

MisterAnarchy · 15-07-2021 1:31pm

The fifth episode was overly sentimental, and full of plot holes.

Di Martinos acting is not the best, but Hiddleston, Wilson and Grant did a good job.

The finale was enjoyable, if a bit simplistic.

Even leaving the time aspect out of it there are too many plot holes and coincidences.

The music was very good, and I like the direction the show took, I wish it would have been a bit darker but thats not going to happen with Marvel.

Very enjoyable series overall and looking forward to season 2.

Bacchus · 15-07-2021 2:08pm

Not sure how I feel about the series as a whole... First 2 episodes were great. It felt very fresh, the music, the characters, the setting all just popped. I think episodes 3-4 sagged a bit. Episode 5 offered something new and the multiple Loki's was fun. The finale then was a solid, if not very exciting end to the season. Kang was great, what a fantastic backstory and set up for the rest of the MCU. We've seen the good of Kang, I assume next we'll see the bad. The guy who plays Kang ate up every scene, looking forward to more of him. If nothing else, Loki has firmly set the stage for phase 4 (and probably beyond) so applause all round for that. I'm glad it's getting a second season because while it still feels like it was a show that was all "setup" and little payoff. I'm looking forward to seeing how Loki Season 2 and Kang tie in chronologically with the rest of the MCU.

My biggest disappointment in this is that Loki himself felt too much like a passenger (literally going by what Kang explained) and never in control. It does make sense though, given the context, existing in a dimension where the Infinity Stones have no power. Hopefully, next season, with the knowledge he now has, he'll have the upper hand and engage in some scheming of his own.

pixelburp · 15-07-2021 5:26pm

Loki was a flop? According to who? Flops don't tend to get second seasons lol 🤣

15-07-2021 5:34pm

Too much talk, they literally had the characters sitting in chairs Zzzzzzzzzzz

And did Loki do anything Lokiish the entire six episodes? Any tricks, or devilment? Seems like the writers couldn't be bothered. But, we have a caring Loki now - he'll be joining the Avengers next.
