When the "real" timekeeper asked, "I hope I'm not a disappointment," I was like... "Uh, yeah. Kind of."

I guess this whole show mostly exists to just explain the upcoming "What If?" show into things. Nothing exciting happens.

Spoiler:

Really? I thought it was a pretty big development especially compared to the other D+ shows. I was expecting it to simply be another Loki variant not Immortus/Kang and certainly didn’t think the show would be the real lead-in to the Multiverse of Madness instead of WandaVision. Don’t think it has anything to do with What If?

Much better finale than the Falcon & WS nonsense finale.

Also, I'm still a bit fuzzy... even if this show creates a big multiverse (even though I thought there already was one? wasn't Skarsgaard's character illustrating the multiverse on the chalkboard in Thor 2?), for the "main" timeline don't they still need to wipe Loki's mind and return him to the end of Avengers 1? Or else the rest of the timeline falls into shambles, if Loki and the Tesseract were suddenly not present for everything from Thor 2 through Infinity War? How does this work?

I haven't sat through an episode of this show yet.....

So in the end, was it woke crap? Female Loki?

It IS a little interesting that Loki mostly served to be shoved around, belittled, and often upstaged by the female Loki. But beyond the "Loki is bi" moment that was so important to that director lady, it seemed as free of that stuff as Wandavision.

I'd probably rate the shows overall Loki, Wandavision, and then FATWS way last. They could have done more in Loki's end but it still had one. Wandavision's and FATWS's endings were both hamstringed by COVID, in two completely different ways (Wandavision because of incomplete scenes and lost characters, FATWS because TPTB took a year off and came back and rewrote the remaining material with a BLM kick).

Marvel didn't lock down the executive producer for an additional season and she's now left

Clearly they are interested in doing something in Loki's end.
It's woke $#!(. Don't care where it's at on the spectrum of woke $#!(. Not givin' it a dollar when there's an agenda. Given lots of dollars through life to diverse material. Not given a dollar in the current zeitgeist or to agendas.

Kang the Conqueror, and now there's an infinite number of him unleashed on our reality and everywhere else. One variant takes over the TVA at the end, with everyone, Mobius included, forgetting they ever worked with Loki.

All the men got their asses kicked in this finale btw. Loki was outfought, outsmarted, and really was a total victim caught up in events and not driving them. If this were made ten years ago, he'd have been the one to kill Kang and set the multiverse in motion, but no, instead it's Sylvie, who nobody gives a f*ck about

Had a feeling it was this character after a while when learning of him. It had been speculated on for a while now, seemingly. I was waiting for him to give a name, but when he said the junk about more versions of himself (or variants) I figured that was the direction it was going in.

Didn't notice the "woke" stuff if there was any. If it was, it was very subtle. Yes, there is Sylvie who is a female Loki variant, but she has her flaws. Most of her flaws were formed because of the junk that happened to her early on as a kid. She can't trust anyone and she does act irrationally and can be impulsive. Compare her to the Loki already established who can't be trusted, but he can actually trust others on some level. He's also a bit more levelheaded.

IMO, I feel it just feels that she was upstaging him. Their goals were way different. The Loki we know, for the most part, grew up loved by his adoptive family. He was mischievous, but he still felt more like he wanted recognition, like a sibling with mid-kid syndrome. He seemed to want attention and even he admitted that he doesn't particularly enjoy hurting and harming people. It's mostly an act with him that he only cares about himself. Thor 2 showed that. Given his role, he strikes me as kind of an anti-hero. Like Mortal Kombat Scorpion. He's not really good, but he's not particularly a bad guy either going by the early games. Just depended on the situation.

Sylvie is hellbent on taking down the TVA because of how they affected her and stripped away her childhood for seemingly, no reason (in her view). She wasn't allowed to grow up with a loving family. Her motivations are stronger, so that may explain why it seemed that she upstaged Loki.

It's funny... if you watch the Loki BTS stuff in "Assembled," this Kate Herron looks exactly liked I pictured in my mind, sight unseen.

[CyberCubed]

The sci-fi aspects of this show were very interesting, including the retro 60's style computers/knobs the TVA had.

As for "female" Loki, well there's millions of him. A black one, a bald one, a kid one, an alligator one, so I don't think it matters. Definitely not anything here they were pushing like some people tried to say. The black villain in the finale was pretty boring to me especially the way he spoke, but it's clearly leading into something good and Kang should be interesting going forward.

Also the backgrounds/CG was really good I thought, it was very pretty and would look great in HD 4K.

Indeed, the others were kinda mid to terrible

Loki- Asgardian god of mischief and centuries of stories. Running around in a business suit.

What, do you want him running around in his OG outfit?

Spoiler:

I'm sorry but almost all classic comic book character costumes are objectively terrible

That is your typical go-to for this kind of response. It's complete bull$#!(. It's the same thing as people saying to Indiana Jones collectors "what you want a bunch of toys of guys wearing suits!?" and then looking around the room as if what they said was "clever".

It's not clever. It's cliche and it's just something to say.

Yes, we want Loki running around wearing "Loki things", instead of the clothing of a modern call center professional much the exact same way we don't want the X-Men running around wearing black leather.

Which Loki varrient was it who wore that classic outfit?

If you guys haven't seen Bruce Willis' Hudson Hawk, you should. It was a flop, but it's a weird guilty pleasure. That Loki actor plays an absolute raving lunatic in that movie - it's hysterical.
