Loki! (spoiler thread)

[Umbran]

This. Just once in this show, have him look clever.

He has been clever once, in realizing how to hide a variant from the TVA - in an apocalypse.

What we see here is a very basic problem of tricksters - a trickster depends on knowing what the blue blazes is going on. Tricks, con games, and the like require understanding of the context, which Loki doesn't have at the start of this. We will see if he has it by the end.

Fair on the first point....but he's the freakin' GOD of this....IMO, this is THE weakness of the show. Loki is just a guy so far.

He terms himself a god. But it isn't like he gains power from worship, or from the platonic ideal of tricks, or something. When he's in the presence of lesser beings, it is as if he were a god. But... he isn't one, really. He's a guy with more power than you or I.

I kept expecting a reveal, like in a heist movie, showing that Loki was on top of things the whole time. Maybe my genre savviness is misaligned.

Look it up. And note the name of the ship which gets destroyed in this episode.

 

[wicked cool]

the Loki for president-Were those other Loki's with him or random survivors

On the ship. -Was there a Loki on that ship as well

Grant Loki was the best Loki so far!

Alligator Loki meets President Loki: "Loki, Loki! No hands!"

Yes? No? Definitely!

 

[Levistus's_Leviathan]

Yes? No? Definitely!

My favorite Loki (besides the two main characters, of course) was Classic Loki. I'm glad that he was able to redeem himself. He is definitely super-powerful, and hopefully our main Loki will be able to do some of the cool stuff he did in the future.

He did have that line in there about the blades the Lokis use holding them back or being a crutch or something, and that was limiting their power and true potential. Classic Loki also had many years on his previous planet to learn and refine and become more powerful.

And just the bit where Sylvie showed protagonist Loki that he was capable of enchantment and more power will make the final episode more interesting.

 

[pukunui]

That was a great episode! Can't wait for the finale next week.

 

[Umbran]

Alligator Loki is the best Loki.

 

[Ovinomancer]

Alligator Loki is the best Loki.

He's interesting, sure, but all he does is bite people. If he used magic AND bit people, then, yes, best Loki.

 

[Janx]

Good times.

My pet theories that are wrong:
Alioth was one of the lizard people and the TVA was how he setup a chow line.

Also, Aligator Loki is one the earliest Loki, before humanity crawled out of the sea.

Mobius still has no jetski. he should have gotten one to pick up Silvie on.
