Loki (Disney+ Series) ***NOW DEALING WITH SEASON 2!***
 

I didn't see a thread so screw it. This was probably the one production I was least interested in but what else are we going to do under the circumstances? It's got an odd vibe to it and I'm not really a fan of 'alternate timeline' stories but Tom Hiddleston really just owns this. He can probably do this role in his sleep at this point. The animation with 'Miss Minutes' that explains the situation is probably the greatest thing. There's enough to keep me watching so let's see how this goes, huh?

Nice production design but seeming the most "unnecessary" show so far. Of course it's only been one episode.

Also, mighty convenient that a Gamora who comes from the past isn't a time variant, but a Loki that comes from the past is.

Maybe that's where she vanished off to at the end of Endgame.

I think it is confirmed she is in Guardians 3 isn't it?

"That was supposed to happen" - catch all to excuse any sort of time travel shenanigans when they want to

Yeah, it's the ol' Doctor Who "fixed point in time" bit.

The multiverse is going to play a large part in future events and this show is a major introduction to it, so I wouldn't call it unnecessary.

Well it's not Gamora's show, so there's no real reason to mention her in it. If Guardians 3 doesn't address it, then yeah it will be a plot hole.

I can buy the "it was supposed to happen" excuse for the avengers, since their actions have such an impact on the entire universe, but it will be disappointing if they use the same excuse for Gamora.

Oh boy. I can already see where they want to go with this show and it's gonna be great.

I'm only using tags out of courtesy, because it isn't really:

Clearly rampant speculation because it's only one episode, but

LOL, I just noticed in the room where Loki takes a ticket, there's a poster on the wall that says "BEHAVE...or get your clock cleaned!" :lol: I want one.

I thought it was fantastic, probably the best first episode of all three shows.

Everyone likes Tom Hiddleston, and the general consensus is that he’s a good actor. So why doesn’t he do anything else?

What am I missing?

He's probably just picky about his roles. He certainly can afford to be.

Maybe he just has too much fun with this role?

i get what you're saying but hiddleston has played loki 8 times (including this series and the upcoming what if...?) since 2011

in the same period he has starred in 3 short films, 13 feature films (plus one cameo), 2 documentaries, 2 tv movies, 12 episodes of a tv documentary, a handful of random tv appearances between 1-6 episodes, an upcoming tv series, four theatre productions and two radio shows

so what i think you mean is he doesn't do anything else that you've engaged with

Well he wasn't Loki in those other things so why would I

no for sure, i would've seen like maybe two of the other things in that body of work

i'm just saying it's not really fair to be like "why doesn't he do anything else" when he does heaps

I get that same vibe from people who ask about a certain band or artist that has 'disappeared' but it's like, no, they still do stuff; they're just not pushed as hard as whatever the new hotness is that the record companies want you to swallow.

Randy: the sales clerk we need, but not the one we deserve.

Really hoping this doesn't delve into the arena that I think they're going. I do feel that Miss Minutes should be in every episode, though. Speaking of which, anyone know how many episodes this puppy is supposed to have?

I believe 6

I really liked Episode 2

I do feel like something iffy is up with those mysterious, ominous Time Lord lizards tho...

Sooooo this is Enchantress. Either that or they've merged the Enchantress and lady loki characters.

If it's not her, I'm going to feel quite cheated over not getting an MCU version of that character.

OK, so evidently IMDB made a whoopsie because

Just watched episode 2... still fairly ambivalent to the existence of this show, even though I am liking it...

Think they are def "not what they seem".... and the "sacred timeline" is gonna turn out to just be nonsense....

They’re doing a Wizard Of Oz set up.
I hope the lizards turn out to be real.
That’s a swerve.

Episode 3 was shorter than the first two eps but still really good.

Good to see that even Loki gets a version of a hallway fight scene.

Just remembered this came out yesterday.... maybe not used to Wednesday release, or also maybe just not feeling a sense of urgency to watch it... gonna watch now...

Was ok... was thinking that it would be revealed at the end that Loki was manipulating the whole thing and the timepad was good and he was just trying to find out more about Sylvie and get info..... might still turn out that way I guess...

There were a couple of moments that make me think Loki is setting her up to think he’s useless.

I kinda thought that, too. Also, in the grand scheme of things, I think Mobius AND his boss might also be Lokis (she always seemed to be short about the time lizards being "busy" in a way that was very Wizard of Oz-ish) who have been doing this for so long they may or may not even *remember* they're Loki.

Explanation: this timeline is a big long con and completely INFESTED with various versions of Loki, but since every Loki thinks they're more clever than every other, each one has a similarly impactful idea of the TVA; be it rule over it or destroy it or whatever. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing is kinda like The Citadel of Ricks and was started by Loki as a means of fulfiling his dream of ruling.

Or, you know, I can be completely off the mark and just need to watch the gorram show to completion.

The latter will probably be for the best.

Tom Guycott you had better not have figured the ending out you flash bastard.

A lot of crazy shit happened in episode 4

Best cliffhanger yet in this series

Hated the post credits bit because it's more 'alternate reality' crap that I don't care for but it did win me over with
