I got the impression there was only one TVA before this episode, but maybe Sylvia offing He Who Remained created multiple TVAs. I hope that's the case because it's bad enough that the only person Loki ever opened his heart to betrayed him, but to lose his BFF too... |

Setting aside the woke stupidity, the acting was really bad and the plot was retarded. The series couldn't suck any harder!

I liked the series and i understand a big bad is coming, but the big bad in the last EP was awful. Disappointed. After Thanos, all big bads will suck.

Underwhelming and disappointing. That was the general consensus of myself, wife and daughter after watching it last night. All these lead up to some big bad guy and we just got a black Tom Hardy, who didn't seem to have the gravitas to pull off all the stuff he said he had done. Then a bunch of things just, happened. We got no further reaction to the TVA agents seeing what'shername as a school teacher, it just was forgotten. I feel like this whole series was a set up for the Multi-verse or whatever next movies are coming out. My kid was upset about Loki and Sylvie's character arcs. He's turned into such a softie he is hardly "Loki" at all anymore, and she was supposed to be coming a better person too, and she just undid it all.

Loki - Slow, Muddled and Badly Written |
|
Really, really enjoyed the series up until the last episode. Especially after Winter Soldier.
Last episode jumped the shark. I totally see what they were going for, but it felt too forced too fast. How do you have the benefit of 6 hours to explore ideas, but still force primary exposition into a few minutes? Wasn't a fan of "He who remains" performance. Seem to keep slipping out of accent, then other parts of his performance felt like Chiwetel Ejiofor in Doctor Strange. Just seemed incredibly forced. I realize it's going to be difficult for them to setup all this crap with new big bad, particularly with Multiverse, but they could have done a better job. Although, I'm of the camp they are stupid to even try after Endgame. No matter what they do, it will likely fall apart. |

View Quote "The hallmark of shitty writers is their inability to elevate their own mediocre work, either through lack of talent, intelligence, or creativity, so instead they resort to tearing down everyone else to make themselves look better." "Constantly belittling and mocking the work of previous writers doesn't just bring down their accomplishments, it diminishes your own, such as they are. It implies that you don't have enough confidence in your own work to put it on an equal playing field and the only way to win is to retroactively handicap the other players." I think he might have recycled those lines from his Star Wars videos. |

Quoted: That's a bit nit picky. The whole point of the scene is to show you that the Infinity Stones pale in comparison to the current power that is being established.

The source of great power was shown to no longer be a source of great power, therefore literally no better than a paperweight. Here's the deal. Headcanon isn't real. Loki's actions are whatever the writers wanted it to be, because the Mouse owns Loki, and the legions of committees that I'm sure actually put these things together decide who Loki is. The criticisms of the show should be based on the show itself, judged as a self contained unit, not how it interlinks into all past media. The suspension of disbelief is absolutely necessary when working in long running things like this and is incredibly apparent when looking at comic books as a whole. There will be "character inconsistencies" to some degree when you're dealing with 6+ different writers across 6+ movies/shows. Going on the "making sense" crusade is how you wind up with 6 hour autistic ranting from Mauler just picking apart things for the sake of hating it. You can acknowledge something as bad without being like "Nuh uh, that's not how the character would have acted!". As much as I love RLM, I'm pretty sure them/Plinkett ruined movies forever. |

The Infinity Stones were not a great source of power IN THE TVA. However, outside of the TVA they still were. Speaking of that though: how did the TVA/He Who Remains cancel them out along with all magic within the TVA? Maybe that'll be addressed in S2, but I'm not holding my breath. Quoted: Loki's actions are whatever the writers wanted it to be, because the Mouse owns Loki, and the legions of committees that I'm sure actually put these things together decide who Loki is. Fictional characters do what their writers have them do? The hell you say! Quoted: The criticisms of the show should be based on the show itself, judged as a self contained unit, not how it interlinks into all past media. I disagree. You can't have a show where it's titular character has appeared as a major character in multiple films, in your first episode alone make reference and/or show close to a dozen scenes from previous MCU events, and then plead with your audience to judge the show as a self contained unit with a complete disregard to what came before. Quoted: The suspension of disbelief is absolutely necessary when working in long running things like this and is incredibly apparent when looking at comic books as a whole. Suspension of disbelief is defined as "the intentional avoidance of critical thinking or logic in examining something unreal or impossible in reality." It is not a licence for writers to write whatever the fuck they want and have it make sense. Quoted: There will be "character inconsistencies" to some degree when you're dealing with 6+ different writers across 6+ movies/shows. Similar to what I said about suspension of disbelief, being accepting of some character inconsistencies does not give writers free rein to have the characters do whatever they want them to do with a complete disregard to what they did before. |

View Quote I don't really agree with what seems to be his main point about Loki being uncharacteristic. In the movies you're used to seeing Loki as an Antagonist, but in this show Loki is the anti-hero and things are shown through his point of view. He is out of his element and isn't always in control of his surroundings. He fails at doing tricks and deceptions. They in no way shy away from how bad of a person Loki is, with how much murder and chaos he has caused. When you see things from the Badguy's perspective, he's not going to seem like a bad guy. |
|
All in all, I did not mind this view into Loki. Him being narcissistic enough to fall in love with himself was pretty funny. I think he simply realized that being the one who remained was not the Godhood he wanted, but a trap. Perhaps it was the possession of ultimate power - but what good is power if you can not enjoy it. It was not the possition of being worshiped he wanted, only one of near eternal responsibility. Loki was never one to want responsibility. They did fracture the multi-verse - which ultimately was a necessity for the Dr Strange story line. IIRC the Dr Strange story line did not really happen till after the battle of New York. Plus, the Hulk smash ending of NY might have given him a bit of a different perspective of power... Puny God.

Plus, the Hulk smash ending of NY might have given him a bit of a different perspective of power... Puny God. While it's easy to dismiss this loss as having changed him, he had several massive setbacks and got his ego curb stomped repeatedly. The Battle of NY was a humiliation. A world he thought beneath him utterly destroyed his ambition and left him a prisoner. If not for the Avenger's meddling with time, that variant would be on Asgard in a cell. Now, he escapes, and is immediately apprehended by the TVA and realizes how truly powerless he is compared to them. Infinity stones? Worthless trinkets to them. His magic? Gone. Getting slammed by Hulk was a trifle compared to the humiliation he endured there. To further add insult to injury, he learns he will be responsible for his mother's death and will continue to fail over and over until Thanos kills him. It's easy to understand why he wants to take a different path in light of all of that. Quoted: Didn't he take the Tesseract? He did. And quickly realized it was useless. |

What would have been the point of him taking one of the infinity stones?
Using one of them outside the TVA, or the time keeper’s decided upon timeline, is totally futile and would’ve just served to have that timeline pruned, just like the first time he used one (tesseract that landed him in the desert when TVA goons showed up and gooned him) Aside from the fact this is a 6 episode season and they pushed in the direction they wanted to go |

I honestly don't know how they could have done that last episode better.
I feared they might shy away from the deeper implications of free will and omniscience, but they did not. Loki had a redemption arc, but still ultimately betrayed "himself." |
