[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8298741, member: 20564"] Quite enjoying it so far. Had high expectations with Hiddleson, good so far with a few minor misses. I think I'm glad they did WandaVision (nonstandard) then a palette cleaner of Falcon and the Winter Soldier which was more classic MCU, and now back to soemthing that feels like they really need the length and processing-time of a show to get across. I've enjoyed both the previous, though in different ways. I am pretty much their target audience though. The minor gaffes I mentioned before - the opening intro music didn't grab me. I'm hoping that's intentional and it will vary during the run. But I was looking for more Jon Williams recognizing a god, and it was almost trite instead. (On the other hand, the ending music, with the discordant twang instead of closure, I did think did a good job.) The other is that I get that time-travel needs to gut-reaction show the viewer that they are out-of-their-time which means either forward or backwards, but I feel like Umbrella Academy recently did the old-timey 1950s feel for their time traveler bureau. Interesting dichotomy between Mobius, not wearing the uniform and acting clearly subservient to the judge, and willing to go "off script". While not everyone wore uniforms (like the processing people), their actions were very uniform to the TSA mentality. And since "purge first" seems to be an operating rule, including for not having a ticket, that suggests a lot about the directives that formed that. On the other hand, I would not be surprised if the whole thing wasn't a set up, exactly as Loki predicted. Or that Mobius is other than he seems. Or, well, I'm expecting twists and hope they include ones I don't see coming. [/QUOTE]
