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.
