I think I’m most excited (or perhaps intrigued is a better word) to see what they do with Taskmaster. I’ve always liked him, but honestly his ceiling is probably as another MCU Batroc level recurring bad guy or member of a team on a Disney+ show.
-
AxB’s post caused me to completely blank out for like ten minutes on the name Kang.
-
Dammit, I mean yes, kinda sorta when he was unmasked?
-
Ok, that middle one does resemble Kane’s head more than I first thought. I’ll still be surprised if that’s who it turns out to be.
-
I think I agree about them needing to pay it off, or at least hint at it more, in this episode, but then again the other likely option is the TVA showing up and apprehending them in the nick of time. That also seems less than satisfying, as it would be easier to let them just perish in the apocalypse on Lamentis-1, unless they need proof they’re dead.
-
That toy doesn’t even have underpants, so clearly it isn’t FFF.
-
I was responding to it not being a bottle episode due to the budget/effects, but this an absolutely fair point (although they’re on a moon, not a planet). That said, given the show’s possible setting during all known time throughout the entire universe, them being trapped on one moon for a brief period of time, serving mainly as character development, if it’s not a bottle episode, it’s relatively the same thing serving the same plot purpose.

Omega’s going to show up in the Book of Fett now isn’t she?
-
He was also in one of the X-Men fighting games, wasn’t he?
-
It works, she’s a refugee/escaped variant from a divergent timeline pruned by the TVA. That’s true whether she is a Loki or not. If she is a Loki, being/presenting female is presumably what caused her timeline to be divergent, just like the Loki they showed who stayed Frost Giant blue.
-
I originally spoilered it because I hadn’t seen confirmation that’s who it was yet, and since it isn’t obvious from the trailer, I thought some people might want to avoid it. That said, I saw some speculation that it looked like Wong fighting him, but some people also thought one of the Eternals was also wrong so, :shrugs:.
-
Spoiler is in regards to a scene from the trailer.
-
I thought this week’s Legends was great, but yeah, I think Behrad is easily the worst character. I’m finally catching up on Superman and Lois (I think I have this week’s and next week’s to go), and it feels like it is hitting its stride. My only quibble is that the evil Kryptonian Invasion angle seems played out.
-
I understand it’s origins as a cost-cutting move, but I don’t tend to think of that as the defining feature of a bottle episode as much as an episode featuring character development while characters are stuck in one location for the episode.
-
That’s one reason I love the show, with the two Lokis you know they’re trying to one up each other to come out on top, so figuring out who is playing the longest game is fun. The TVA definitely seems like it isn’t what it seems, but I’m not sure exactly in which way. At this point, I half expect Miss Minutes to somehow be behind things. It really doesn’t feel like we’re already halfway through the show. I can see things wrapping up relatively quickly, so between that and it obviously leading into future MCU stuff in someway, I can already see people being disappointed.
-
I’m also torn between thinking that the destroyed TemPad was just an illusion and that most of the episode was happening in Loki’s mind after Sylvie enchanted him.
-
I can’t remember if someone here mentioned it or not, but I think I may subscribe to Renslayer’s “other agent” being another Mobius/variant.
-
Anyone else feel like the last two episodes have gotten a lot better? I was surprised how invested I felt in this week’s ending.
-
And I’m surprised they didn’t want to spin the character off into her own show.
-
It’s Sony, so they only have so many options. That said, I’m surprised they didn’t go with Spider-Gwen/Ghost-Spider.
-
It’s kind of cool that What If? directly follows this show. Loki obviously ties into Multiverse of Madness, but it would be neat if the worlds visited in What If? are the ones just created by Lady Loki’s reset bombs.
-
One of the international credits identifies the character as “Sylvie.”
-
Aw fuck. That’s what I get for watching while tired.
-
Wilson and Hiddleston have amazing chemistry together. I’ve been a big fan of Owen Wilson ever since seeing him in Bottle Rocket almost 25 years ago, but between doing some dumb movies and not doing a lot recently, I’ve kind of forgotten how much I like him. It’s feeling to me like the Timekeepers are unreliable narrators at best, and will likely be revealed as “villains” by the end.

I was just excited for the Krakatoa reference.
