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.

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.

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.

Clearly rampant speculation because it's only one episode, but SPOILER: show |
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.

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 |

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

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.

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
SPOILER: show |
I think Tom Guycott definitely onto something with his theory....
|
Also, terrible audio on the time keeper's voices... couldn't understand a damn thing they said. I'd get words here and there, but forget about coherent full sentences/phrases.
|
same @ time keeper's voices

This would be fantastic. I thought they established that he is for sure dying to Thanos. I'm thinking they might introduce Fantastic 4 in some fashion towards the last 2 episodes. And it would make sense if they're going by Mobius from the comics. |
I feel like Kang is for sure happening and there will be strong reference to Fantastic 4 if not an actual appearance from Reed Richards maybe ( John Krasinski maybe? ). Kang is casted and coming and it would make a ton of sense to wrap Kang, Mobius and FF4 at the end of this series.
I wish this series was 8 episodes instead of 6. |
Quote:
I was pissed off about that. They spend all of this money making it look fantastic and then fuck the audio up for absolutely no reason at all. Nolan Lizards |
I have to say that episode 4 was “Tits”.
This is a great show. |
I am so peeved for what they did to my boy :(
|
Quote:
|
I did :o
I need visual confirmation for the other guy, maaaan. |
Think that "his boy" is Mobius....
|
Quote:
|
What was the after credits scene you bastards, the site I use chopped it off
|
Was it Mobius on a jet ski?

Ugh, they just HAD to squeeze in the "Thor as a frog" thing somehow, didn't they?
|
Fifth ep was 'just ok' for me, not bad or anything just not spectacular.
I'm curious to see how they wrap everything up in the finale. |
i respectfully disagree, i thought it was tremendous
the thanos copter was a particularly nice touch |
Just watched it... was a damn hot episode.... can't wait for the finale

That actually makes Gator Loki make more sense, and most of the variants might agree with me if he weren't buried out of view. Quote:
I like "our" Loki's reaction to the perpetual betrayals in like two minutes. He's completely done with what is obviously his own bullshit. I wonder how many years of practice it took "Lonely" Loki to learn to build cities like that? And finally, for some reason, I kept picturing classic RPGs in my head, but every party member that comes and goes is named Loki except Sylvie (and I still suspect Mobius who has been in the TVA so long, he doesn't even remember he's one). Loki left the party. Loki and Loki have joined the party! Loki is poisoned. Loki used HEAL ALL on Loki! Loki has ganed 29HP! Loki has gained 35HP! It did not work on Loki! Loki has gained 27HP! |

I didn't hate it. It was more of a 'laughing while rolling my eyes' moment.

Also, the reveal itself gave *just* enough away if you are familiar, but if you're not, it's still a mystery of exactly who the fuck this is (until nerds who can't wait push up their glasses and belch out the name in the next few days because they can't help themselves on social media). Especially the detailed animated armatures during storytime. I really like the line: "... and, for a while, there was peace. Narciscistic, self-congratulatory peace." That whole speech gave serious Ozymandias vibes; basically more Watchmen than Watchmen, because the stakes are far larger. |
|
So, wait, is that really how it ends?
Also, a huge gag to that moment that's going to fuel the masturbation sessions of all the Rule 34 weirdo fanboys. :roll: |

Honestly TVA Loki is on a more rapid course to becoming a better person then main timeline Loki did. Basically he didn't need 2 more movies to become a person Thor could openly admire is what I'm saying. Just needed 5 episodes of a really good tv show.
SPOILER: show |
Please change the title of the thread to Disney+ Series and not Disney + Series. Thank you.

You should change your name to Loki Jaw
|
You should change your name to Busty St. Claire

I liked Loki a lot as a show. Looking forward to season 2!
The way the actor who played He Who Remains performed the character was strange and unnerving, it felt a bit Shakespearean and theatrical in an extremely old school way. I liked it, I hope there’s a lot more from him. If he is the new main baddie he’s already leagues ahead of Thanos in terms of performance. It would be nice to have a more thoughtfully portrayed villain. |
Would be "Cool" to see him "regularly appear" in movies/shows.... like the opposite of Thanos where he appeared like a handful of times post-credits doing 1 thing.

Did Roman Reigns make his entrance again?

This show felt really anti-climatic for someone who has no clue what is going on. Loved everything until the end.

I watched the series over the past 24 hours, and I enjoyed it a lot. There was some serious Stanley Kubrick vibes in the early episodes; presumably as a result of the music. I liked the production design as a whole.
I think out of all three of the Marvel series, this one is my favourite, and I look forward to season 2. |

Sylvie is the new Peter Quill...still hot, tho

But he did kinda have that Kenneth Branaugh style Shakespeare play movie quality to him. If he redid Othello today, pretty sure this guy'd get the role. |
Another thing to add to the fan wishlist outside of getting Damage Control (which I did!) and Alpha Flight: Lokigator reemerges in a new Howard the Duck film!
And I also want the April Fool's Day joke about "Disheveled Man" in the new Dr. Strange movie to actually be real. |
Actor reminded me of Benny from OG Total Recall
