Loki! (spoiler thread)

[MarkB]

I did appreciate that this episode was not earth centric considering the scope they are going for.

Also it was interesting to see slyvies surprise that her magic didn’t work in the TVA…showcasing for all her scheming see still knows very little about what she is really dealing with

Oh, that's a good point - so my earlier speculation about her having put the mental whammy on Loki during their encounter there was wrong, at least timing wise.

A 2077 disaster? This a dig at Cyberpunk?

I kept waiting for Loki to say "when I say run, run!"

2077 is the years the bomb went of in fallout maybe it is just a bad year?

I wonder what if they reveal Loki and Sylvie are actually twins separated at birth?
No that would be an interesting reveal.
Curious to see where they go with this, hope its good.

Not the greatest of episodes-lots of walking and the green screen felt dated especially during the run/walk scenes.

Yeah, the exploding planet at the end was just ... bad. And for an apocalypse involving a planet crashing into a moon, it was very tame. Sylvie mentioned gravity quakes, but it didn't seem like there were any. Just all those purple meteors.

I heard a theory that this could possible be in the quantum realm (where ant man went). After this episode is that squashed?

I think it's still entirely possible the TVA is based in the quantum realm. The time doors could grow/shrink people without their knowing.

At times it felt like the loki/enchantress knew his mother and they keep going back to his mother especially her death. Any chance that this being is his mother?

I don't think so. If she was a variant Frigga, I don't think she'd get so upset about being called Loki. Maybe she was just curious to know about this Loki's mother because she never really got to know hers.

The whole thing just hanging casually overhead at the end got really ridiculous. I'm not usually too fussy about physics in a setting like this, but a colliding planet shouldn't feel so... leisurely.

Eh, this was all filmed during all the covid stuff, so I am giving them a pass on the weak planetary apocalypse, mainly because the characters, and their interactions, are all very good. Every Marvel show so far has had great casting and interactions between characters.

Exactly!

Yes, the character interactions were fantastic. The setting not so much. I hope they can get back to the TVA quickly next episode.

Is Loki ever going to seem smart? That's good whole spiel..... Anyway, I liked that episode for the most part.

Nice episode of Doctor Who this week! Er, wait, was that Loki?
