    The duality of the MCU.

    Loki showing us something on par with the better days of Marvel offerings.

    While The Marvels seem to put on display everything wrong with current Marvel.

     

    I would argue that of all has Marvel done, Loki is perhaps the only story that has been worth telling so far.

    I almost think that Marvel would be on a better place, if after endgame, the only thing we should have was Loki S1 and 2, and after its end, they could have tried to go with a multiverse saga.

    Since we would actually have a better way to start it, and Kang would already have context of who he is.

    Loki should have been the first thing out of the gate. 

     

    So far, the only things that made sense to tell as a story are Loki, Wanda-Vision, and The Falcon and Winter Soldier.  Everything else (as far as series go) has felt like filler, especially after watching Loki's finale.

    I assume.

    I think he said this was a perfect closure for his character.

    And TBH, is a great finale.

    It damn well better be. For this franchise (hell TV in general) it's hard to come up with an ending to a great character that feels on-brand. Hiddleston's emotions in the final scenes (especially the last shot) was visual storytelling at its finest. He seriously earned the right to be talked about for an Emmy. 

     

    Loki is probably the greatest character in the entirety of the MCU.

    Or how Wanda's powers manipulate reality, and the reality stone is red iirc. 👀

    Didn't even think about it till you said it. 

     

     

  3. I'm happy to report that Loki sticks the landing. 

     

    A fitting end to it all. His whole mantra is a thing.

     

    Also, they better keep Majors around. 

     

    EDIT - 

     

    Peep the title for the first and last episode and think about a few characters in the show's name . . . 

    Spoiler


    S1E1  (Opener) - Glorious Purpose

    S2E6  (Finale) - Glorious Purpose

     

    Ouroboros - Serpent eating its own tale. 
    Mobius M. Mobius - Play on the mobius strip (infinite loop)

    I know we talked about this before, but this is insane.

     

    The titular character was the fourth lead? What were they cooking in there? Not to mention this would be a complete waste of Ali.

    Not saying that it wouldn't have been a bad idea, but this is like judging a movie based on terrible concept art. . . and yes a complete waste of Ali if this came to pass. 

     

    Finished this week's ep of Loki . . . . I swear this show better stick the damn landing. 

     

    EDIT- I also think this is the first time they used his leitmotif at the end credits. 

     

  5. Not too long before I return back to work (I've been off since August 10 due to paternity leave) I finished Spider-Man 2. 

     

    I thought it was "good" but certainly wasn't a surprise that the first game was. While the story was solid, my main issues were with the mechanics. I got bored with the combat pretty quickly Peter and Miles pretty much played the same. I also had several crashes and glitches in my playthrough. 

     

    The one story element that I wished happened was :

     

    Spoiler

    Kraven should have been Venom.
