I don’t understand how a scene that just says that Loki will return for season 2 would be perceived negatively. If you want a second season, then it should have been a nice surprise, and if you don’t care for a second season, then it should have been a nothingburger.

Finally saw it. The guy playing Kang was awful. So forced, trying to be the crazy Cuba Gooding Jr character.

See: What If...? (which is the next series)

I liked the Loki series but I think they rushed the story a bit much, I felt the same about Falcon & Winter Soldier. I think going with these mini-seasons is hurting the writing by making them move too fast to explain things for the non-comics reader (like my wife).

I would have at least liked to see a montage of Kangs/Immortuses (Immorti?) at the end of the episode I wouldn't have minded seeing a scene were someone is at a drawing board designing a spaceship only to be dragged away by a blonde gal saying "Hurry up or we're going to miss the movie, Reed" as they shut the door offscreen.

A human big bad is pretty meh honestly. Maybe the bad Kang will be cgi.

I thought he did phenomenal job! That was variant Kang. I’m sure we will see evil version of him in the movie.

I didnt hate the show in general. I really liked it up until the finale. The finale was awful imo, but it didnt make me hate the show, I just dont view it as highly as I did going in.


You are to Loki as SFP is to True Detective.

I always thought Hawkeye was a great character. I'm guessing they'll delve into his past as an orphan, time in the circus, etc. (assuming they adapt that stuff from the comics), as well as his and Natasha's time with Shield


None of that is happening, but you will get some of that sweet Kate Bishop action.

 I personally dont care to have them potentially all mixed together. I dont want X-Men to be fighting alongside the Avengers. Good lord how many characters can you fit into this ? Some of the best movies put out were the X-Men


The X-Men are, by far, my favorite Marvel characters. The Fox movies may have had some redeeming moments(Logan, DP 1&2), but they were mostly hot garbage. Zero continuity, zero plan, and very little respect for the source material. The F4 movies were steaming piles of shite.

Yes, the multiverse occurring in the MCU is a huge deal. There are tons of great characters and stories, and Kang is just one of them. You have 10+ years of investment and attachment to characters in the MCU because they've done a great job developing them on screen and telling their stories. I have 30+ years of investment and attachment to the other characters that haven't been given the same treatment, and I'm excited because I think Marvel Studios will do what other studios haven't.

If you aren't excited about that prospect, well, you aren't supposed to be watching violent movies with sorcerers, witches, or magic anyway. So, just don't watch them.

You can’t expect people to take you seriously with this level of effort.

You had me fooled before this.

I think that was just a little half-hearted trolling from Lucky. It wasn't even really a scene, just a screen or panel announcing the next season.

With Val established as a gray hat, I'd imagine that should potentially position Yelena as the antagonist in Hawkeye, right?

Go watch him do an interview, dude was basically playing an exaggerated version of himself. He was really good.

I’m sure she can/will pop up, but she won’t be the primary villain in the series.

If that means The Mandalorian lapping Loki about seven times, then yes.

Why do you think Mobius doesn’t remember Loki? Was all of the tva’s memory wiped?
Or has all of history been re written kind of like on MIB3 when Boris kills K back in time.

Are Loki and Sylvie the only people that will remember end of time Kang and the time keeper facade version of the tva?

Was the scene showing B15 bringing other tva agents to Ravonas school to see her moot and pointless now?

Either Sylvie or the Kang who replaced the Apple Dumpling Kang rebooted the TVA.

The latter, it's a completely different universe/timeline, one where Mobius never recruited HiddleLoki.

Basically the ending of A Sound of Thunder.
