I’m happy accepting that Captain America is a super soldier because of an injection, and Ironman uses a high-tech suit, and Gamma rays made the Hulk, but Holy Shit I get lost when everything is based on magic and the mystical powers of gods.
I’m going to give this a try this weekend, though. Need a new series to kill some off-duty time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes, I understood that. But the plot should still make sense... Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: So if you mess up the timeline by being late to work  then the TVA will arrest you, make you stand trial...for being late to work , and then they'll send you back in time and make you not late to work to fix the timeline? If they can time travel, why didn't they just make you not late to work in the first place...And for that random dude they disintegrated with the glow stick, didn't the TVA just mess up the timeline by disintegrating him? He got arrested for messing something up with his timeline, but now that he's disintegrated they can't send him back to correct it  You’re reading far too much into it. He was a plot device to show how powerful and capricious the TVA will be if you don’t play along. I really liked it. Yes, I understood that. But the plot should still make sense... It does make sense. He was a variant. When the TVA went back to where he stepped off his intended path and corrected him, the one who screwed up becomes a duplicate in need of "pruning". |

I'm going to give this a try this weekend, though. Need a new series to kill some off-duty time. We see old Captain America and figure he can beat up ten guys in an elevator, but can't stop a tank. When he picks up Thor's hammer for a second or fights a vastly more powerful Iron Man, who basically is a flying tank, we see a hero showing grit and skill, not just being able to do something because of special powers. I never finished the Dr Strange movie and looking back I wasn't that interested by the witch fights in Wandavision. The characters point at each other like they're having a tough poop and special effects have the bad guy winning until near the end of the show when the good guy wins |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What a well thought out and constructed response. If you think the casting of “powerful black womenz” and the AOC judge were not deliberate, in sending an underlining message, you must have a very hard time navigating life. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Within the first minute we get a powerful black woman who doesn’t put up with a white males bullshit. In this case, a gender fluid white male god. She then proceeds to brutalize him with a baton, in slow motion no less. I guess Loki is only a God when the script calls for it. Not long after, we get a strong Latina women who looks eerily similar to AOC as a judge. Guuuurl power! Luckily a CIS white male (Owen Wilson) is able to mansplain to her why they need Loki, much to the powerful black womenz char-grin. Actually the stong black woman adds the comedy. It didn't seem forced. I liked all the characters they were unique and fresh. Yes I hate the woke world and don't agree with it. But this show so far isn't woke. I hope you guys like your weekly dose of subtle SJWism. I personally watch now to see how subtle or not subtle it’s getting. So far, I’d give Loki a B+ for keeping white male hate relatively low key where people with sub 100 IQs are not seeing past the BS. Life must be very hard for you to navigate. What a well thought out and constructed response. If you think the casting of “powerful black womenz” and the AOC judge were not deliberate, in sending an underlining message, you must have a very hard time navigating life. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't think there's much internal consistency to Marvel magical characters. They can do, or are unable to do, whatever is called for by the plot. I think you have a point that with the point and blast magic that there's no real expectation as to what a character can do. We see old Captain America and figure he can beat up ten guys in an elevator, but can't stop a tank.

Those hover-in-midair-and-shoot-lightning bolts-at-each-other fights in Wanda were so boring. Is that what other guys like? |

If you think the casting of “powerful black womenz” and the AOC judge were not deliberate, in sending an underlining message, you must have a very hard time navigating life. How about when Wilson's character is standing before the AOC judge and says, "It seems I'm always looking up at you, which is a good thing." That was good for a face palm. So far it seems like Loki has been reduced to playing the befuddled office drone in 'Brazil.' |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I wonder what pruning a timeline does to the innocent Mongolian sandpeople? I was thinking about this while watching the show… those “bombs” (for lack of a better) term that the Minutemen drop before leaving might literally end that branch of the timeline… If so the TVA is more powerful than anything we’ve seen with the possible exception of the Eternals. |

I am really impressed so far. Really good stuff.
Paperweights, lol I love the music. The sudden self-awareness that he only exists to make the Avengers, the people he hates, even better...that was good. Really knocked him down a peg, I think. "Is this the greatest power in the universe? The tears and emotion at the end were good. Seeing yourself get strangled to death has to really make you question things. oN mY wAy dOwN tO cOoRdInAtE sEaRcH aNd rEsCuE Holy shit I just realized they pruned that guy's cart, which was just full of Infinity Stones. BBBZZZZTTT out of existence. This place must really be the greatest power in the universe.

Tom Hiddleston really is a fantastic actor.
Interesting note: I saw an interview with him and a few other MCU actors a few years back where the interviewers were testing the actors' Marvel knowledge. Tom was the only one who could easily rattle off all 6 Infinity Stones when asked. Kinda feels like he really puts the research into it. |

I don't know if it's so much Hiddleston "really putting research into it" as much as it is him possessing above average (or better) intelligence and giving a shit while most of the other cast seem like morons and/or don't care. Especially Evans and Hemsworth. |

I wondered when they showed Coulson's death. Maybe in the new timeline it's permanent? It never was canon. It's always been the disowned red headed bastard stepchild I never watched that show, but I do recall at least one of it's actors having some kind of Twitter meltdown regarding the MCU films treating the show like it doesn't exist. I'm not sure what he/she was expecting. The MCU films have dominated the movie scene for over a decade. Their little show, despite the massive success of the films, wasn't even one of the top 100 most watched shows on TV for the majority of it's run even though it was on ABC. By the end they weren't even pulling 2M viewers an episode. |

(Side note- how could it not be canon if they referred to and worked around things from actual canon?) Not initially. Coulson was brought back to life with the Guest House drug, derived from the blood of a Kree. There's a scene in the first season where he's in the backseat of a car interrogating the doctor, who tells him he'd been dead for 3 days before being brought back. …still open ended… that was more Christ allegory than anything. They may have only resurrected his body with the drug long enough to transfer his memories. No, in fact Coulson had been in charge of that facility before the events of "Avengers" and having the Kree blood in his system is what enabled them to find the Kree temple. They were experimenting with the drug there and the reason for the memory modification was that all of the patients who didn't receive it eventually went stark raving mad, all of them drawing the map to the temple in some manner. Coulson's was an impulse to carve it into the walls even with the memory modifications. Some drew it on the walls, and one even murdered people and carved it into their bodies. These were not LMDs. ‘Aight. You’ve obviously kept closer track of the series than I did, and I watched it ‘til the Kree/future storyline (I watched through it but ugh, it got terrible when they incorporated the Inhumans… which shouldn’t have sucked but it did.) I deleted the whole final season off the DVR without watching it. What was the half season of Coulson being an LMD all about though? There were a few times he was an LMD and it was past when the season fully went off the rails. A sentient android named Aida copied his consciousness into one and implanted him in the group to kidnap the others. This was during the Framework (basically the Matrix) part of the series. Later Jemma built him as one after his death, right before they started time traveling. The series wasn't terrible, but it went way off the rails quite a bit. Once they stopped trying to tie in with the events of the movies, it got really crazy. I stopped watching right about when Skye turned evil/rogue/whatever. Sounds like I didn’t miss much. The viewership numbers are pretty telling. The series finale didn't even pull 1.5M viewers. Keep in mind this is a primetime show on ABC. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Read something that said Loki was going to be gender fluid. If so I’ll not be watching The Netflix series ragnarok has a gender fluid Loki. This show has nothing to do with the MCU. |

I saw a few people complaining that the premiere episode "ruined" the MCU.
Endgame was the satisfying ending to a decade long saga I was hoping for (unlike a certain fantasy TV show ) and that story is over. So, even IF Loki ruined the MCU, I don't think there's much to ruin going forward. There's a grand total of 20 MCU titles on the books after Loki and I have at least some interest in two of them. MAYBE three. Though my interest level is such that if any or all of them were canceled it wouldn't exactly ruin my day.At this point all I care about is whether an MCU product entertains me. The first episode of Loki did that. |

Is this a nod to Stan Lee at about 15 minutes in or is that supposed to be the comic book Agent Mobius?
