Loki: the Disney+ TV series
 

Allegedly... Tom Hiddleston will only be the narrator, and it will feature a young Loki?

Note that nothing is really substantiated about the rumor.

Yeah, seems pretty up in the air. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. Just keep Loki dead.

I'm all for it, bring on more Loki, I'd love me some Agent of Asgard adaptation n live-action

So it could potentially be like a Young Indiana Jones-type thing. Could be cool. They definitely need to #keepLokidead in the main MCU timeline tho

It might be interesting to see Sif fleshed out more. But that's probably wishful thinking on my part.

Oh god yeah. They built her up so much, even appeared in AoS... and then they just completely discarded her in favor of what's her name from Ragnarok. All the interviews around Thor 2 talked about a love triangle (like from the comics) and all that... and nothing.

Sad!

Personally not interested in a prequel/flashback type series.

Yeah. Jaime Alexander had a ton of potential to be a Wasp-type equal badass character, but instead, she got to mope around because Thor had the hots for Padme and I think she killed a couple of guys in some generic battle sequences.

Ugh.

Can't say I don't feel the same in general. I've no interest in this series whether or not Loki is currently alive, but I do have strong feelings regarding... <wait for it>...

First look. It appears to be set in the 70s

I heard it’s going to be anthology based, so a different time period per episode. 70s is so boring though. Why not start with colonial times or like ancient Rome? Missed potential.

It is definitely not that. Here is the trailer:



Though it is a bit unfortunate... basically, the post-Avengers 1 Loki really is dead? That bit of character development, gone? Everything from Thor 2 to Infinity War?

Nothing could interest me less than more Loki.

Lot of new shows listed on here at the mo. I Had a feeling that escape scene would come back up, but yeah agreed Andrew it means the slate is wiped for the later version of him.

I still don't have Disney Plus actually, likely will when there is something I want to see enough. I get mostly what I want from what the services I have.

A new trailer has dropped

Huh. So it's less, Loki going on a romp through time and more... Loki being forced to go through and fix time? With the obvious expectation at some point he'll break free of his "employers" and just go on his own?

Loki premieres Wednesdays starting June 9th

Episode One

Opener was real damn good. Best Marvel since Wandavision, and I'm wondering if it will top it by the end.

How many more instances of "Or had to get melted" can you think of?

Biggest opening for Disney+:

A bit 'talky talky' again this week, but was book-ended by decent action and things moving along.

Yeah... a lot of standing around talking and stuff being explained to Loki/the audience. Still, I'm enjoying it.

I see they got Sasha Lane from American Honey as the kidnapping victim in this episode. No way they don't have big plans for her to come.

I find it really amusing that the song Holding Out For A Hero was used in Loki Episode 2, MOTU:Revelation trailer 1, and the GotG video game trailer... all within the span of about 7 days.

I haven't watched those last two videos, but this fan edit from the last episode of the Mandalorian was all I could think about:

Episode 3 sucked

Loki is Bisexual

I'm sorry but does this Kate person have no life? What kind of reaction is that? Is this another one of those 'I can't relate to the character unless they're (blank) like me' scenario?

Loki's always been bi but this lady's reaction just gets to me. What a maroon.

But yeah. A lot of standing/sitting around and talking again until the end.

Bit better than last week

Got to admit... wow. This was a fantastic episode. Really delivered on what I was expecting going into this. This was some Neverending Story sh**.

Though I have to ask about the elephant in the room, because it doesn't seem super clear. The female Loki Variant. This IS a Loki male from another timeline decided to be female via shape-shifting at some point, yes? Because they showed the flashback of the capture as a child... but it was all sort of ambiguous. I mean, it's OK if it is -- of course Loki could only be in love with essentially himself -- but it's being played so gray I'm not sure.

Like, is this truly a variant female Loki? Or a dude Loki who decided to not only stop being a frost giant male but also a humanoid male via magic? They seem to sort of dance around it without really saying. This latest episode muddies the waters so much about what a variant Loki is that now I have no idea.

Eh, you know how it is, the future is female. I doubt they'd do it because woman love their Tom Hiddleston, but if they wanted, they opened the door for getting rid of male Loki and keeping female Loki as their main Loki going forward.

Richard E Grant certainly wasn't wasted, and he had a boss moment at the end.

Aside from that though, nothing was really learned further about the TVA.

All of these shows are basically a waste of time and filler. I feel the movies, like the Dr Strange one that will have Wanda in it, and then any other movie down the line that brings in Loki or Falcon Cap or whatever will carry on as if those shows didn't happen. As in, the audience won't be lost if they haven't seen their stupid little shows.

Kinda like AoS, it helps to understand them if you seen the movies, but you don't need to see AoS to understand the movies.

I like the series so far. Sucks it's going to be short, but it's also good that they're not dragging stuff out. I really like the characterizations of Loki and Sylvie. In all honesty, any time Loki's character acts human, I like it. It's like in Thor 2 how he was very upset over the death of his mother, even though she was adopted. I view Loki as an anti-hero type anyway, so seeing him take to Sylvie and reacted to her welfare was nice, despite his acting like he didn't care. His eyes gave it away. Same with Mobius' character and his fate. You could tell that it bothered Loki and that's something I just love about the character. Just imagine if they were basing this off of the real Norse legends surrounding Loki. Not likable at all. lol Well, we did learn that there's more to them than what it seems. Theory...

The Cameo of was pretty cool

I dunna...now the was were it's at.

I don't really think that's what's going on. Though you can bet if they do their "all female Avengers" movie they were threatening to around Endgame, she might make the roster.

Seriously, you have to laugh at all the nonsense. The character I relate to the most is Raphael, and it has nothing to do with species, gender, sexual orientation, blah, blah, blah.:lol: These people are becoming the very thing they claim to be against.

Just saw the finale. Weak. A letdown. And there clearly will be a season 2.
