Loki! (spoiler thread)

Loki's still coming across as a bit dumb and incompetent to me. This guy is no god of mischief.
I believe it is because the other person is a more experienced version of himself thus he is working with less data, add in his need to leave the TVA and him being a bit self-sabotaging he would be weaker at this moment but this is all set up.

No, just generally. Whoever he talks to.

Yeah, And a lot weaker physically too - I assume the bearded guy Loki had a scuffle with was human, yet he throws Loki down? His schemes dont seem very clever either, that might be bad writing— or is it deliberate misdirect?

So, Timeline Variance is a Thing, it has an energy signature and can be traced. And we've seen what the temporal reset charges do - they nuke the entire area, but selectively. One would presume that they do so by only targeting people and objects which have a variance signature.

In which case, why does The Variant dropping them off in loads of different times and places cause divergent timelines? If a charge goes off where there's nothing variant to be erased, wouldn't it be just a momentary harmless light show? Maybe The Variant changed their targeting parameters.
I think the implication is that the charges blitz everything in a small area, so if a person is in the area when the charge drops their entire timeline gets erased thus causing the anomalies

I think loki is trying to a lay of things and take over the tva but he is a bit lacking in data.

I agree that the fight scene in the store was very weak. Compared to what we saw in Wandvision and F/WS, it was plain anemic.

Now I could believe that the human was "enhanced" by whatever juice flowed into him....but I should be seeing Captain America level moves to even threaten Loki if that's the case, not just weakly tossing him into some cardboard boxes.

Considering that Loki hasn't even tried to use his magic for any defense or offense at this point....my thought (read: hope) is that Loki is playing possum, showcasing how "weak" he is to the other one so they will underestimate him and reveal more than they intend. Because otherwise....this isn't a fraction of the Loki we have seen in other outings.
 

A major spoiler, courtesy of the show's credits in non-US markets:

English credits list the "Lady Loki" character only as The Variant. French credits list that character as Sylvie, probably Sylvie Lushton AKA The Enchantress. So not Lady Loki, unless the MCU is going to combine the two together into one character.
