Loki - Disney+ (***Spoilers***)

The best of the D+ shows, with Hawkeye as a close second.

What were the opinions though?

Disney+ doesn’t have a rating system and I’d be very interested in knowing the reaction because as I understood part of the Hiddleston thirst is that Loki is a bad guy (or at at least not a good guy).

Here he is entirely a hero regardless of his claims to the contrary.

for myself I prefer him a bad guy/up to mischief. And I couldn’t get into the show because of that. Really hoping Loki returns to the movies by the end of Love and Thunder.

As I am here, the timelines that the TVA are erasing are all belonging to Earth 616, am I correct? I assumed at the time that they were erasing other Earths in the Multiverse but that would be incursions and someone like Clea would have come mot deal with it before now.

Funnily enough, Harley Quinn isn't really a comic book character. She was created especially for The Animated Series

 Loki Season 2 will premiere Friday, Oct, 6th

Ke Huy Quan is definitely a man making the most of his return to acting.

looks promising. Hopefully can maintain the standard of the first season. It’s a shame about JM. Hopefully him staring doesn’t turn people off.

At this stage you have to just call a spade a spade, no matter the outcome of the current allegations, the work was done well before his behaviour was exposed, just release the thing as was intended. It wouldn’t be fair to everyone involved if you chopped up the story now due of his shocking behaviour.

I'm excited he is in, great addition

I want all episodes together

Loki is class. I’m loving the way they’ve just ran with the concept of last season. Loki as a character in the MCU is dead, this isn’t bogged down by the MCU, and it’s all the better for it. It’s not the same character, and it’s fully embraced the world they created in the first season. Definitely it’s own thing now.

I think this may annoy some fans, but for me it feels liberated and fresh.

The god of mischief is dead. Long live Loki.

Mid credit stinger.

Can't say I'm lovin it. 😎

what happened at the end? i thought loki was looking for a timestick to purge himself, couldn't find one, followed the ringing found, sheila appeared and suddenly he was purging

That kinda bull is why Marvel is starting to tail off. I dont think its the cliche "superhero fatigue" but rather Marvel started taking huge liberties and lies causing people to check out.

Episode 2 was a struggle.

No end credit scenes

The trouble is we're being told that this is all of great urgency, and that the destruction of all these branched timelines means monumental amounts of death, but none of that is coming across in the show.

The directing was just awful throughout. It's really not selling the action, emotion or urgency.

And I have no idea why they acted like those key lime pies were so amazing and delicious when all Tom Hiddleston did was occasionally lick the smallest bit of cream possible off his spoon. I know actors don't actually eat the food or that much of it, but the way it was filmed was just so awkward and weird.

This season hasn't found its feet yet. I'm just not connecting with the peril of the situation. Like Penn said, the whole purging of the branches felt a bit meh. They were literally doing this routinely 2 days ago. Just because they now know they are variants, those branched lives suddenly matter. And why didn't the branches just start reforming immediately? TBH, the whole relationship between Kang and the TVA is a bit vague. Was Kang keeping the branches in check or the TVA, or a combination of both. What exactly is the Loom doing if the whole purpose of the TVA was to ensure there are no branches. Another thing I don't get is why Kang isn't already here since time... past, present, future is happening all at once as far as the branches and TVA are concerned. Hopefully it'll be explained.

Was there some background to X-5 that we were supposed to know about? He seemed like a non-character thrust into the spotlight who had some sort of history with Loki and Mobius. The interrogation scenes were pretty poor. That was supposed to be Loki's mischievous best... it was good cop, bad cop.

OB is probably the only fun aspect so far this season, and the action with the Loom is a tangible ticking time bomb.
