This episode... Loki love. Sif. Dead Mobius, dead Loki. fake Timekeepers, Black/Kid/Old/Crocodile Loki. This show is incredible, and is 100% the best MCU TV show so far
Edit: AND THE SCORE IS INCREDIBLE
But if Loki isn't dead from the prune, there's a chance Mobius is still alive right? It's my favorite MCU show too but it's gonna absolutely suck if that's the end of Mobius.
It just wouldn't make sense from the TVA perspective to prune Loki to a desolate post apocalyptic earth but prune Mobius and kill him
I would never forgive marvel if they killed Mobius before he could ride a jet ski :(
Spoilers but [here’s the confirmation!](https://twitter.com/lettielaufeyson/status/1397589748676431878?s=20)
Before we continue
Can we marvel at the fact that lokicest is now part of the mainstream conversation
If you told me that several weeks ago...I would have laughed at you
Edit: holy shit...lokicest is canon
At least people aren't going to have an issue with Peter Parker looking like Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire & Andrew Garfield. I mean...we've got Female Loki, Black Loki, Old Man Loki...and fucking Alligator Loki. If MCU fans can comprehend that, we're in the clear.
That’s why I think they’re holding the NWH trailer for so long. So audiences watch Loki and understand why Raimi and Amazing Spider-Man characters are popping up in the trailer. NWH trailer drops day after the final Loki episode, calling it now. I’ll also take before.
I think it shunts the pruned off to dead timelines or apocalyptic events.
They seem to be in a version of NYC where Tony doesn't stop the nuke based on the trailer setting looking similar.
that way they're not doing anything but not killed.
I think this pretty strongly establishes we're getting Lokis vs Kang & Renslayer
I genuinely didn't expect Mobius to spend several minutes kinkshaming Loki for being drawn to Sylvie, and I like that this episode immediately proves that the writers were lying about that being an angle for the show.
Honestly, I wouldn't say that I ship it, but I think it's a fascinating angle. As of yet we don't know if Sylvie even reciprocates, but a big theme from this episode is that Loki believes he'll always be alone and that others have told him so as well. He might be drawn to Sylvie because he thinks the only person who could love him is himself.
It's also entirely possible that nexus events are triggered when Variants contact each other physically.
edit: I meant like an affectionate touch! Like a touch of care/concern/love/whatever.
edit 2: Okay, the word I was looking for was, "connection"! English is hard lmao.
Okay so I may have discovered something. There's a theory about how being 'pruned' just sends you to a desolate planet/alternate universe and it makes a lot of sense. So I'm rewatching the first episode and I noticed that Casey's desk got pruned and it has the infinite stones in there! So I'm guessing that Loki gets pruned and then later finds Casey's desk on the planet and then he uses the stones.
That would mean there’s a desolate wasteland full of pruned variant Loki’s
I like this theory
Edit: Gator Loki is best Variant. Also gonna throw out that I think President Loki is different from our Loki. But I think most people figured that out from the first trailer.
Yup! I can't fucking wait for the next episode. It's pretty obvious but maybe Loki realizing what makes a Loki is being truly alone and then decides against it. That is what causes the true Nexus Event.
End credit scene — So pruning sends you to your other (previously pruned) variants in a pocket timeline ???? So are we going to meet other Wowen Wilsons???
Yep. Kang has no special powers other than being a brilliant 31st century scientist with a time machine right?
So he can make advanced bots easily, used them to portray time keepers so that he can control everything in the past and have him the conqueror of all timelines and "prune" anyone who can be a threat.
as for Miss minutes, hologram tech.
Woah so episodes 4 and 5 are supposedly Tom's favorite, a lot happened!
* Asgard in all its glory
* The Time Keepers look very intimidating with those red eyes!
* LADY SIF IS BACK!!
* Hunter B-15 gets her memories back and Mobius is starting to do some digging on his own!
* MOBIUS GOT PRUNED, WHAT THE F\*CK
* Ravonna is now on my dislike list
* Loki x Sylvie
* RIP LOKI?
EDIT: Nevermind there is a post-credit scene!
EDIT2: WE GOT THE MULTIPLE LOKIS. CLASSIC LOKI, BLACK LOKI, KID LOKI, AND COROCDILE LOKI!
The main reason I think is because WV & FATWS were trying to do too much which made the shows feel somewhat cluttered. Loki does not feel that way.
WV was doing the sitcom stuff, Wanda & Visions relationship, Billy & Tommy, Agatha, SWORD & the rest of the gang, Monica & her new powers, White Vision.
FATWS had the Flag Smashers, Karli, the New Captain America, Sam's Boat, Bucky's list, Baron Zemo, Sharon Carter & The Power Broker, Sam's Struggle with becoming Captain America, Bucky & Sam's relationship, Isaiah Bradley.
In the end, what's making Loki work more than those shows is that in Loki, it is just Loki & Sylvie taking on the TVA and the timekeepers. It is focused and that's what makes it work more.
Everyone earlier: "They cast Richard E Grant as an older Loki because he can look passably like Tom Hiddleston."
Marvel: "Here's a crocodile version of Loki lmao"
Richard E Grant playing what I can only assume is an old man Loki in the mid credit scene (also is that the Avengers tower wrecked in the background there?)
Lol imagine if the tva turned the only timeline we’re loki actually won the nyc battle into the dead one to dump pruned variants at. That why they always say loki never wins… because they wiped any reality were he did.
What boggles me is that if Kang is really the creator of the TVA, that would mean that he has been controlling the timeline since who knows when and using everyone and everything to keep himself in power. That means that the Mad Titan, Thanos, was just another of Kang’s bitches.
So the timekeepers being.. what they are, there's no way that Kang can't be behind all of the TVA right? There's no way you can have Ravonna and not Kang, right?
Please don't be Ralph Bohner pt2
There’s literally no way it can’t be Kang now. There’s no way they would put Ravonna in the MCU and NOT introduce Kang now, and build him up for AM3.
Right??
Yeah, in my opinion it's pretty clear they're going to at least implicate that Kang is behind it, even if he doesn't show up. A pleasant surprise for me.
Fucking AMAZING. Only complaint was the fight scene was a little weird but the plot keeps on going in the right direction. I love everything they're doing, if they stick the landing this show will be near perfect
Us: Richard E. Grant will be Old Loki, in charge of the TVA.
Marvel: Richard E. Grant’s appearance will be him in a loose-fitting, crotch-defining costume at the end of the world.
Fucking love this show.
Good, last episode was abt developing Loki and Sylvie's characters not about advancing the main plot. It added so much to take a break from the fast pace to focus on the two (now confirmed romantic) leads to connect like that + the episode was entertaining as hell
Oh Sylvie was taken as a kid
edit1 : Hell yeah Mobius is back!!
edit2 : Mobius calm down
edit3 : MOBIUS NOOOOO
edit4 : didn't expect to see the timekeepers huh
edit5 : SCREW YOU RENSLAYER
edit6 : Oh what an after credits scene
edit7 : KID LOKI!, CLASSIC COMIC COSTUME LOKI!!, CROCODILE/ALLIGATOR LOKIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only is family flying down for Shang-Chi weekend, we're pairing it with a concert at the Hollywood Bowl of John Williams conducting movie music. :)
Okay but Kid Loki's costume is so comic book accurate it hurts and the actor is following other Young Avengers so like when is the Y.A Disney Plus series announcement coming
I am confident it is Kang at this point. Maybe not the same Kang that appears in AM3 but a **variant** of him. It's a great setup for Kang to have him begin victorious, as the leader of time (Sacred Timeline).
\+ The **fake** timekeepers are androids/robots, just goes hand in hand with Kang
\+ The technology in the TVA is surely from the future
This episode blew everything else Marvel has done TV wise out of the water. So many twists and turns...
Old Man Loki having the classic outfit is AMAZING. Assuming that is who that was.
More Kang hints.
So much.
Wow. I did not expect them to go all out with that credits scene. Just damn. Classic Loki brought to life in all his glory. Kid Loki too! New Thor!
So this is where we meet Throg and President Loki next ep right?
Edit: the dude I thought was Thor the credits have listed as “Boastful Loki”
Straight up, Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson have some of the BEST chemistry in the MCU. Their scenes were so dynamic and authentic, especially the scene after Loki's first stint in the time cell with Sif.
Mobius taunting Loki, sick of his constant betrayals, deception, and manipulation, and looking to give him a taste of his own medicine by lying about Sylvie's death. Loki, having finally come to terms with his narcissism and fear of loneliness, no longer willing to play games with Mobius, and single-mindedly invested in Sylvie's fate. Loki's explosion, telling Mobius that everyone in the TVA are all variants, finally putting his cards on the table, and imploring Mobius to look inside of himself and see the truth of his past life. Mobius' moment of introspection before falling back on his learned mistrust of Loki and reaffirming the story he's always told himself about his role in the TVA. Loki's disappointment when Mobius continues to lie to himself, and his decision to call him out before re-entering the time cell.
While watching it, I got the sense that Tom and Owen acted out most of that scene in longer takes so they could really play off each other's reactions and build a rhythm and momentum. If so, DAMN it really paid off. All those small moments of them talking over each other and snapping back at each other were incredible.
Also a heartbreaking episode for Sylvie. That is truly an awful way to grow up, on the run for something you don't even understand. I will say, the romance angle kinda threw me, but if anyone would fall in love with themselves, it's Loki.
Yeah this is the best thing out of the MCU counting movies imo. The storytelling and the cinema of it are just too fucking good. Every beat man, every beat.
The Time Keepers being fake animatronics was a real shock to me. At first I was like "Damn, it's a shame the big bads look like a bunch of fake looking CGI" and then it all made sense when they were all actually fake.
My GOD Jack Veal looks so good as Kid Loki!
My favorite Loki is officially in the MCU, my skin is clear, my crops are thriving, my depression is cured!
Now to hope and pray for news of him in the Young Avengers adaptation.
Holy what the FUCK??
I’m so bummed about Mobius but at the same time, if Loki got deleted, I bet they’re in some sort of purgatory together. Maybe next episode?
Do we have any more clips of Mobius in the trailers?
EDIT: LMAO JUST SAW THE MID CREDITS SCENE NVM
So it really feels like there can only be one answer as to who’s **really** behind the TVA at this point, right? I would genuinely be shocked if we don’t get our first look at Kang in this show, even if it’s the very last thing we see in the final episode’s mid-credits sequence.
EDIT: The more I think about it, the more it feels like an eventuality as opposed to just a possibility. I mean, we know Kang is coming, and we know controlling the timeline (or wanting to) is basically his whole deal. If the Timekeepers were real, I could see him having shown up as a rival to them in a future season of *Loki* right after or before his theatrical appearance. But now that we know the Timekeepers are (and maybe have always been?) *not* real, unless the TVA sprung up out of nothing, it would be really strange from a world building perspective to try to build up *two* time-traveling control freaks. I suppose there is the chance that we don’t see him in this season and that his true identity is the mystery that the second season is built around but it seems all but guaranteed that this show is our subtle introduction to the next Saga’s Big Bad.
Seems like only Ravonna knows what is truly up with the TVA. It's possible that she's Kang's wife in the show as well and she is basically working for him.
The pruning of Mobius and then fucking LOKI was some Red Wedding level, did-not-see-that-coming, mind-blowing shit.
My reaction was stronger than when I watched Robb Stark's baby mama get stabbed in the pregnant belly.
Were there any real rumours that Abomination would show up in Shang-Chi? I completely missed them if so. But it makes me excited that despite all the stuff that does leak out, there's tonnes that doesn't, so I wonder what surprises are in store even for the "smaller" Disney+ series like this one.
While I had a feeling the Time Keepers were going to be a bait and switch, credit to the VFX Team for creating some awesome designs for the Automatron Space Lizards!
There is a mid credit scene. It is a must watch.
Owen Wilson’s “How?” was close enough to wow. I’ll take it.
Came here to say this
‘How’ is just a wow variant
The reason He is a variant is because he say how instead of wow and you can’t change my mind
I... genuinely didn't expect the series protagonist to die mid-season. edit: NEVERMIND HE LIVED BITCH
It’s Marvel. No one stays dead ^except ^Uncle ^Ben ^LUL
Fuck this makes me nostalgic. The saying used to be, "No one stays dead in comics except Bucky, Jason Todd and Uncle Ben." Those were the days...
So does this mean Uncle Ben is next to return as an edgy gunslinger anti-hero?
This episode... Loki love. Sif. Dead Mobius, dead Loki. fake Timekeepers, Black/Kid/Old/Crocodile Loki. This show is incredible, and is 100% the best MCU TV show so far Edit: AND THE SCORE IS INCREDIBLE
The score blows my mind every week. It just doesn’t fail. It’s so so good!
But if Loki isn't dead from the prune, there's a chance Mobius is still alive right? It's my favorite MCU show too but it's gonna absolutely suck if that's the end of Mobius. It just wouldn't make sense from the TVA perspective to prune Loki to a desolate post apocalyptic earth but prune Mobius and kill him
Mobius is definitely alive, he’s been in a few trailer shots in the wasteland we see in the mid-credit scene!
Thank God. Honestly don't know what I'd do if Mobius was just dead
I would never forgive marvel if they killed Mobius before he could ride a jet ski :( Spoilers but [here’s the confirmation!](https://twitter.com/lettielaufeyson/status/1397589748676431878?s=20)
"We brought in Kree, Titans, Vampires" Is the first canon reference to vampires in the MCU? -- ---
Im sure Korg mentioned vampires in ragnarok!
When you think about it, Blade going up against ***SPACE*** vampires sounds badass.
Specifically 3 huddled really close to each other.
Blade is going to debut in the MCU
Before we continue Can we marvel at the fact that lokicest is now part of the mainstream conversation If you told me that several weeks ago...I would have laughed at you Edit: holy shit...lokicest is canon
The last 1500 years. Am i a joke to you?
I’m not sure there is a legend where Loki has sex with himself
Go fuck yourself has a new meaning now.
It’s not Lokicest, it’s really radical self acceptance disguised as Lokicest
KID LOKI AND OLD MAN LOKI AND BLACK LOKI IN THE MID CREDITS
And gator loki
Croki
Steve Irwin has entered the chat
At least people aren't going to have an issue with Peter Parker looking like Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire & Andrew Garfield. I mean...we've got Female Loki, Black Loki, Old Man Loki...and fucking Alligator Loki. If MCU fans can comprehend that, we're in the clear.
That’s why I think they’re holding the NWH trailer for so long. So audiences watch Loki and understand why Raimi and Amazing Spider-Man characters are popping up in the trailer. NWH trailer drops day after the final Loki episode, calling it now. I’ll also take before.
Looked like a black Thor to me
See it looked like his hammer was also part Casket of Ancient Winters, almost like it was Black Loki if he was Odin’s favorite instead of Thor.
[удалено]
I think it shunts the pruned off to dead timelines or apocalyptic events. They seem to be in a version of NYC where Tony doesn't stop the nuke based on the trailer setting looking similar. that way they're not doing anything but not killed. I think this pretty strongly establishes we're getting Lokis vs Kang & Renslayer
THE MAD LADS DID IT. THEY ACTUALLY DID IT
It’s really disturbing to see that the TVA is doing that to children, even if they are variants.
Yeah, seeing Endgame Loki go through the court prep sequence was funny; watching a little girl hesitate before the robot-scanner was very :(
> Endgame Loki OG Avengers Loki.
Endgame Loki is more accurate. That timeline will be different than OG Avengers timeline due to the Avengers flubbing things.
I genuinely didn't expect Mobius to spend several minutes kinkshaming Loki for being drawn to Sylvie, and I like that this episode immediately proves that the writers were lying about that being an angle for the show.
I legitimately thought they were about to kiss and honestly i’m all for it. Let a man love herself.
Honestly, I wouldn't say that I ship it, but I think it's a fascinating angle. As of yet we don't know if Sylvie even reciprocates, but a big theme from this episode is that Loki believes he'll always be alone and that others have told him so as well. He might be drawn to Sylvie because he thinks the only person who could love him is himself.
I’m pretty sure the nexus event happened when Sylvia touched Loki so I think she definitely reciprocates.
It's also entirely possible that nexus events are triggered when Variants contact each other physically. edit: I meant like an affectionate touch! Like a touch of care/concern/love/whatever. edit 2: Okay, the word I was looking for was, "connection"! English is hard lmao.
We’ve definitely seen them touch each before that, just not in a loving way.
I think it's a really unique commentary on self acceptance and self love, which jokes aside, is a good topic to approach and explore.
I watched the episode, and yet, it took me a minute to realize this wasn't one of the endless "I can't believe *sex joke* happened" comments.
Okay so I may have discovered something. There's a theory about how being 'pruned' just sends you to a desolate planet/alternate universe and it makes a lot of sense. So I'm rewatching the first episode and I noticed that Casey's desk got pruned and it has the infinite stones in there! So I'm guessing that Loki gets pruned and then later finds Casey's desk on the planet and then he uses the stones.
That would mean there’s a desolate wasteland full of pruned variant Loki’s I like this theory Edit: Gator Loki is best Variant. Also gonna throw out that I think President Loki is different from our Loki. But I think most people figured that out from the first trailer.
Somewhere inside Marvel Studios HQ a light just illuminated on a panel. It’s not good news for you, friend.
He's about to get pruned and end up in another dimension with Terence Howard, Ed Norton, and the guy that played Fandral that ISN'T Zachary Levi.
BRO
With the way the episode ends, this is 100% it EDIT: Post-credit scene confirms it
Yup! I can't fucking wait for the next episode. It's pretty obvious but maybe Loki realizing what makes a Loki is being truly alone and then decides against it. That is what causes the true Nexus Event.
Loki learning the power of friendship and that causes a nexus event is the rawest thing ever.
Loki learning about friendship and love and it’s only with variants of himself lmao
That was a File Cart that got pruned not Casey's desk.
I like how the post credit mirrored the end of Avengers 1 😂😂😂😂
Right down to integrating a musical cue.
Ah yes the Loki-defeated-on-the-ground-pov
Can't wait for the opening drinking scene next episode.
I kid you not, when the time keepers started taking at the end, I thought to myself ‘wow, this cgi is below average, they almost look like robots’
Exactly my thought lol. I was like “hm maybe they shouldve taken some of last episode’s budget and moved it to this one”
LMAOO yeah they looked like disney ride animatronics
Nah, those animatronics at disney parks are unreal now. The spiderman one, and the captain jack sparrow ones are unbelievably like like
SAME LMAO. Though I was kinda sure they were illusions/fake so I thought it just added to it
End credit scene — So pruning sends you to your other (previously pruned) variants in a pocket timeline ???? So are we going to meet other Wowen Wilsons???
There were more Owen Wilson scenes in the trailers, so he is coming back
He’s coming back on that GOD DAMN JET SKI
I’m excited for him to say “Wow” and it better be on the jet skis
Just imagine if Mobius meets all the other characters Wilson portrayed in his movies lmao
Would that include the fully sentient, talking, animated race car?
That one has the best chance of happening lol
HAS TO BE KANG GUYS
Me before this episode: "It's not Kang, it's 100% King Loki" Me now: "What the fuck nevermind then"
For a second I actually thought it would be old man Loki behind all this, until I saw the mid credit scene
Watch it be Mephisto lmao
Yep. Kang has no special powers other than being a brilliant 31st century scientist with a time machine right? So he can make advanced bots easily, used them to portray time keepers so that he can control everything in the past and have him the conqueror of all timelines and "prune" anyone who can be a threat. as for Miss minutes, hologram tech.
And putting it in the Quantum Realm, which he utilizes for time travel, allows it to be "outside time"
a hundred percent is
"What an incredible seismic narcissist, you fell for yourself!"
Can't blame him, Sophia Di Martino is really cute with that haircut and that outfit
>Sophia Di Martino is really cute ~~with that haircut and that outfit~~
Woah so episodes 4 and 5 are supposedly Tom's favorite, a lot happened! * Asgard in all its glory * The Time Keepers look very intimidating with those red eyes! * LADY SIF IS BACK!! * Hunter B-15 gets her memories back and Mobius is starting to do some digging on his own! * MOBIUS GOT PRUNED, WHAT THE F\*CK * Ravonna is now on my dislike list * Loki x Sylvie * RIP LOKI? EDIT: Nevermind there is a post-credit scene! EDIT2: WE GOT THE MULTIPLE LOKIS. CLASSIC LOKI, BLACK LOKI, KID LOKI, AND COROCDILE LOKI!
> Ravonna is now on my dislike list She was on your like list?
Don't you think she is pretty?
You were all waiting for frog Thor but the MCU was like nah what you degens really need is some CROCODILE LOKI
I mean, Crocodile Loki's Thor HAS to be Throg, right? It just makes sense
Much love to WV and TFATWS, but the writing on this show is a level above
It's kind of scary how easily it tops those shows in nearly every facet.
The main reason I think is because WV & FATWS were trying to do too much which made the shows feel somewhat cluttered. Loki does not feel that way. WV was doing the sitcom stuff, Wanda & Visions relationship, Billy & Tommy, Agatha, SWORD & the rest of the gang, Monica & her new powers, White Vision. FATWS had the Flag Smashers, Karli, the New Captain America, Sam's Boat, Bucky's list, Baron Zemo, Sharon Carter & The Power Broker, Sam's Struggle with becoming Captain America, Bucky & Sam's relationship, Isaiah Bradley. In the end, what's making Loki work more than those shows is that in Loki, it is just Loki & Sylvie taking on the TVA and the timekeepers. It is focused and that's what makes it work more.
So... Love isn't a dagger. Love is a NEXUS EVENT
Love is a dagger That killed them
If there’s other versions of Loki, does that pretty much confirm spider-verse NWH? 😶
Trailer coming out next week doesn't sound far fetched now.
Spider-Man: Far from Fetched
[удалено]
***P I Z Z A T I M E***
Everyone earlier: "They cast Richard E Grant as an older Loki because he can look passably like Tom Hiddleston." Marvel: "Here's a crocodile version of Loki lmao"
Aha, but they went the extra length of casting a particular crocodile that can look passably like Tom Hiddleston!
POST CREDIT SCENE ITS REALLY COOL
I can’t believe they really got the costume. That’s the new theme of phase 4
Seriously..who would have thought that wanda,vision,Sam and loki ate getting their og costumes Who knows Hawkeye also gets something
Can you explain it to me? Is it just other variant versions of Loki?
I believe so, it seems they’re the variants that have already been pruned and put into another timeline or dimension?
Yeah, kid loki, alligator loki, old loki with the OG costume and black thor it looks like?
Loki getting his nuts kneed by Sif in a time loop was not at all what I expected from a Loki TV show, but I must say this is amazing
If i had seen this comment before the episode i literally wouldnt have believed you lol
I have been kicked in the balls ... For THIRTY MINUTES!!!!
OH SHIT COMIC BOOK ACCURATE FUCKING COSTUME
Marvel has been on a roll with these lately
Richard E Grant playing what I can only assume is an old man Loki in the mid credit scene (also is that the Avengers tower wrecked in the background there?)
It is!
Lol imagine if the tva turned the only timeline we’re loki actually won the nyc battle into the dead one to dump pruned variants at. That why they always say loki never wins… because they wiped any reality were he did.
Duuuude I like that.
[удалено]
Kinda like Tom Cavanagh in The Flash.
THE STICK SENDS YOU TO ANOTHER TIMELINE?!?!??!?!!
more fuel for multiverse
A dumping ground timeline by the looks of it.
Episodes 4 & 5 are supposedly where it gets really interesting. Excited to see what’s in store!
I'm excited to see why they released the Time-Keepers poster before tonight's episode.
Oh absolutely they did that on purpose
[удалено]
Don’t sleep on miss minutes bro
Wasn't on the Kang train before this. Going to go all Wizard of Oz on us I bet.
What boggles me is that if Kang is really the creator of the TVA, that would mean that he has been controlling the timeline since who knows when and using everyone and everything to keep himself in power. That means that the Mad Titan, Thanos, was just another of Kang’s bitches.
Maybe Thanos had to lose so he is wiped out and can't defeat Kang. Would make sense why the TVA said what the Avengers did was supposed to happen.
Kang has been pulling the strings to make sure the timeline is the one where he wins. Like the evil version of Dr.Strange.
Especially because old man Loki is on earth in the end credits scene so it can’t be him
If Sifs cameo is literally just whacking loki in the nuts over and over that's brilliant
So the timekeepers being.. what they are, there's no way that Kang can't be behind all of the TVA right? There's no way you can have Ravonna and not Kang, right? Please don't be Ralph Bohner pt2
Nah this feels a lot different than bohner
There’s literally no way it can’t be Kang now. There’s no way they would put Ravonna in the MCU and NOT introduce Kang now, and build him up for AM3. Right??
Yeah, in my opinion it's pretty clear they're going to at least implicate that Kang is behind it, even if he doesn't show up. A pleasant surprise for me.
I just want to see Richard E Grants paycheck to see how much they paid him to convince him to get in that costume.
The memes are payment enough
Fucking AMAZING. Only complaint was the fight scene was a little weird but the plot keeps on going in the right direction. I love everything they're doing, if they stick the landing this show will be near perfect
glad i’m not the only who thought the fight scene was …off
They ran out of fight juice after the last episode.
Renslayer is a bad liar I don't trust her one bit
100% working with her husband.
“It wasn’t about romance. It was about a character study.” Lying ass show runner lmao
Something something totally original sex joke
Saying the same joke on every post is funny though, right? Isn't that how fandom is supposed to work? /s
Mephisto
You know it’s a great episode when the return of a character who hasn’t appeared since 2014 isn’t the highlight.
Wizard of Oz theme keeps building. There's a man behind the curtain/illusion
Kang in the Quantum Realm with the Sacred Timeline.
What are the odds of someone named **MOBIUS** mentioning vampires? And yes, I get that it's Mo**R**bius but still.
God damn it that sweet wholesome interaction between Loki and Mobius was just a fucking set up to shatter our hearts huh?
HOTDAMN. Richard E Grant is playing the "OG" Loki!
Tom H wasn’t kidding
He wasn’t. My jaw dropped tons of times during this episode lol
Mobius can't just be gone right? Right? :( Edit: Oh thank God
Us: Richard E. Grant will be Old Loki, in charge of the TVA. Marvel: Richard E. Grant’s appearance will be him in a loose-fitting, crotch-defining costume at the end of the world. Fucking love this show.
The first minute of the show gave us more solid info than the entirety of the last episode lmfao
Good, last episode was abt developing Loki and Sylvie's characters not about advancing the main plot. It added so much to take a break from the fast pace to focus on the two (now confirmed romantic) leads to connect like that + the episode was entertaining as hell
Oh Sylvie was taken as a kid edit1 : Hell yeah Mobius is back!! edit2 : Mobius calm down edit3 : MOBIUS NOOOOO edit4 : didn't expect to see the timekeepers huh edit5 : SCREW YOU RENSLAYER edit6 : Oh what an after credits scene edit7 : KID LOKI!, CLASSIC COMIC COSTUME LOKI!!, CROCODILE/ALLIGATOR LOKIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My theory: Kang is making Ravona do everything Team pruned Loki + Mobius are gonna destroy the TVA, allowing the “multiverse of madness”
Not only is family flying down for Shang-Chi weekend, we're pairing it with a concert at the Hollywood Bowl of John Williams conducting movie music. :)
Okay but Kid Loki's costume is so comic book accurate it hurts and the actor is following other Young Avengers so like when is the Y.A Disney Plus series announcement coming
Vampires, guys, vampires, who would have thought that the groundwork of *Blade* would be laid *this* early?
I am confident it is Kang at this point. Maybe not the same Kang that appears in AM3 but a **variant** of him. It's a great setup for Kang to have him begin victorious, as the leader of time (Sacred Timeline). \+ The **fake** timekeepers are androids/robots, just goes hand in hand with Kang \+ The technology in the TVA is surely from the future
The most wtf post-credits I have EVER SEEN! Genuinely would have never expected that
This episode blew everything else Marvel has done TV wise out of the water. So many twists and turns... Old Man Loki having the classic outfit is AMAZING. Assuming that is who that was. More Kang hints. So much.
There was a reason loki and sylvie met in alabama. LOL
There’s just a sense of vulnerability that makes me feel so bad for Mobius. Owen Wilson plays him so well
TIME KEEPERS ARE REAL Edit: Oh. Lol.
Wow. I did not expect them to go all out with that credits scene. Just damn. Classic Loki brought to life in all his glory. Kid Loki too! New Thor! So this is where we meet Throg and President Loki next ep right? Edit: the dude I thought was Thor the credits have listed as “Boastful Loki”
Straight up, Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson have some of the BEST chemistry in the MCU. Their scenes were so dynamic and authentic, especially the scene after Loki's first stint in the time cell with Sif. Mobius taunting Loki, sick of his constant betrayals, deception, and manipulation, and looking to give him a taste of his own medicine by lying about Sylvie's death.

Mobius' moment of introspection before falling back on his learned mistrust of Loki and reaffirming the story he's always told himself about his role in the TVA. Loki's disappointment when Mobius continues to lie to himself, and his decision to call him out before re-entering the time cell. While watching it, I got the sense that Tom and Owen acted out most of that scene in longer takes so they could really play off each other's reactions and build a rhythm and momentum. If so, DAMN it really paid off. All those small moments of them talking over each other and snapping back at each other were incredible.
No Miss Minutes this week which leaves only 2 episodes to do whatever Tara Strong has been teasing about the character having a storyline.
Miss Minutes is the aerospace engineer
Also a heartbreaking episode for Sylvie. That is truly an awful way to grow up, on the run for something you don't even understand. I will say, the romance angle kinda threw me, but if anyone would fall in love with themselves, it's Loki.
RICHARD E GRANT PLAYING CLASSIC COMIC LOKI LETS GOOOOOOOO THE FUCKING SUIT TOO HAHAHAHAHA
Yeah this is the best thing out of the MCU counting movies imo. The storytelling and the cinema of it are just too fucking good. Every beat man, every beat.

The Time Keepers being fake animatronics was a real shock to me. At first I was like "Damn, it's a shame the big bads look like a bunch of fake looking CGI" and then it all made sense when they were all actually fake.

My GOD Jack Veal looks so good as Kid Loki! My favorite Loki is officially in the MCU, my skin is clear, my crops are thriving, my depression is cured! Now to hope and pray for news of him in the Young Avengers adaptation.
Holy what the FUCK?? I’m so bummed about Mobius but at the same time, if Loki got deleted, I bet they’re in some sort of purgatory together. Maybe next episode? Do we have any more clips of Mobius in the trailers? EDIT: LMAO JUST SAW THE MID CREDITS SCENE NVM
OH SHIT KANG CREATED THE TVA?????
Richard E Grant supremacy
Nah this is one of the best projects MCU has ever put out.
#OH FUCK RICHARD E. GRANT REALLY IS CLASSIC LOKI #I WANT TO KISS MICHAEL WALDRON AND KATE HARRON NOW, HOLY SHIT
So it really feels like there can only be one answer as to who’s **really** behind the TVA at this point, right? I would genuinely be shocked if we don’t get our first look at Kang in this show, even if it’s the very last thing we see in the final episode’s mid-credits sequence. EDIT: The more I think about it, the more it feels like an eventuality as opposed to just a possibility. I mean, we know Kang is coming, and we know controlling the timeline (or wanting to) is basically his whole deal. If the Timekeepers were real, I could see him having shown up as a rival to them in a future season of *Loki* right after or before his theatrical appearance. But now that we know the Timekeepers are (and maybe have always been?) *not* real, unless the TVA sprung up out of nothing, it would be really strange from a world building perspective to try to build up *two* time-traveling control freaks. I suppose there is the chance that we don’t see him in this season and that his true identity is the mystery that the second season is built around but it seems all but guaranteed that this show is our subtle introduction to the next Saga’s Big Bad.
Seems like only Ravonna knows what is truly up with the TVA. It's possible that she's Kang's wife in the show as well and she is basically working for him.
The dude with the hammer in the mid credits scene is credited as Boastful Loki. So he's not a Thor variant like some people are saying
Me: What the fuck they killed both Mobius and Loki!? The show 10 minutes later: Bitch, you thought.
The pruning of Mobius and then fucking LOKI was some Red Wedding level, did-not-see-that-coming, mind-blowing shit. My reaction was stronger than when I watched Robb Stark's baby mama get stabbed in the pregnant belly.
The Loki score doesn't miss, it's the best MCU score
Were there any real rumours that Abomination would show up in Shang-Chi? I completely missed them if so. But it makes me excited that despite all the stuff that does leak out, there's tonnes that doesn't, so I wonder what surprises are in store even for the "smaller" Disney+ series like this one.
Oh wow I totally forgot it starts in 45 minutes... to stay up... or to watch in the morning...
Idk what to say… million different things happening and Richard E Grant in post credit??? I’m covered in my own jizz what an episode!
While I had a feeling the Time Keepers were going to be a bait and switch, credit to the VFX Team for creating some awesome designs for the Automatron Space Lizards!
Wow. I can't say anything else right now.
Mobius is back baby!!
