Topic	MCU General 3: Loki Loki Panic
RyoCaliente 07/14/21 5:12:07 PM #206:	CoolCly posted... im probably gonna be a big pile of negativity in this topic i've thought this first 5 episode of Loki were a giant pile of mediocrity at best. i'm almost afraid to watch the finale because i dont want to end this series thinking it sucked. I genuinely love Loki as a character and think he's one of the best characters in the MCU, and I love the MCU and everyone in it to begin with, so i dont think i'm biased against it or anything. it's just been a giant mishandling of the character. to think this series is below par hurts. blahhh Nah, I totally agree. Part of it for me is that I am very susceptible to hype, and this was easily the show I was most excited for. At the end of the day, I don't feel like it really did anything though. The first couple of episodes just live off of Mobius and Loki dialogue and the episodes after that just live off of Loki and Sylvie interactions. None of those things really drive the plot or even the world forward; on the contrary, even in seeing his life play it out, it annoys me that Loki is played far more like a post-Ragnarok Loki as opposed to a post-Avengers Loki. The entire point of this series is: Loki's back, there's a female version of him now, and the multiverse is happening. Even the Kang reveal is disappointing, because it makes the Time Keeper scenes even more irrelevant. What's even the point then? Is Revonna still going to be upset even though Kang essentially is THE Time Keeper? In that sense, I far prefer WandaVision and Falcon and WS. WandaVision at least started off interesting, and then kinda petered out at the end, and it gave the spotlight to characters who hadn't seen much of it yet. Falcon and WS wasn't too special, but I wasn't expecting it to be either, and I like the Evil Avengers setup more than this ~~multiverse wack that Loki built up to~~. Like at this point I'm just wondering why they released it now when Doctor Strange will only come out next year, and I doubt Shang-Chi will be affected by it. Maaaaybe Eternals given that one line of ~~"we've watched but now we must act"~~ or something like that, but considering you're making a movie where you essentially have to introduce a trillion characters I can't imagine heavily involving ~~the multiverse~~ on top of that as well. I guess there's Spider-Man but I'm almost expecting that to be more of a red herring like WandaVision Quick-Silver than anything else. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! <cite>RyoCaliente posted [p:956082289] in MCU Genera...
