April 5, 20214 yr Looks better than Falcon and Winter Soldier, but then again, anything would probably be better.
April 5, 20214 yr Looks fun, but gotta say the sound of the dot matrix printer and tearing of the tractor feed paper was my favorite part.

So WandaVision kicked off Phase 4 of the MCU on TV, while the upcoming Black Widow movie kicks off Phase 4 in the movies. F/WS is filling in backstory and/or setting up F/WS for future Avenger stuff. Everything is messed up though, because Black Widow was supposed to come out last year. Then again, some of the MCU TV shows were supposed to as well. Loki is odd to me though. It looks like Black Widow is in it at one point, which is possible since this is jumping around in Marvel timelines. Feels like it could setup the Secret Wars Loki feels like it's going to be fun as hell to watch, and it also feels like a great vehicle to retcon and/or fix a whole shitload of MCU plot points. At one point in that trailer, they show a diagram MCU timelines. Still want to know why Black Widow, which is set after Civil War, is what is kicking off Phase 4 in the movies. Feels like Loki could tie in somehow.

June 1, 20214 yr I’m ready for next Wodan’s day. don’t know if this is spoilery or not Spoiler Also not sure if it is accurate, but google listed Hemsworth, RDJ, Elba and Evans as cast members. I mean, considering the time this is jumping around in, it would be hard to not have some shots of their characters (old footage), if not full on cameos. We see Loki call for Thor right as he seems to get grabbed by the bifrost. Seems reasonable
June 9, 20214 yr Author Today's the day. Not sure if we'll watch tonight or save it for Friday like the other Disney+ shows.
June 9, 20214 yr Daughter and I enjoyed it. Will probably have to watch it again to follow the time travel stuff.
June 9, 20214 yr Highly entertained. Didn’t expect that there was only one timeline/universe. Also the during the pre-trial explaining: A nexus event (Wanda) if left unchecked can lead to madness in the multiverse Edited June 9, 20214 yr by UT_OB1
June 10, 20214 yr So... the 3 gods/creators of the TVA are the real bad guys, right? Or do I just enjoy my (false?) perception of free will and am biased to hate them?
June 10, 20214 yr Question: for those who've already watched Ep 1: Spoiler One thing I don't understand is how Loki didn't have his powers in the TVA bureaucratic labyrinthine waiting line but then suddenly gained them back to jump all over the place when Owen wasn't in the room. I mean, they made a show of him "on the stand" not being able to do anything but embarrass himself. How did he get them back again? He still had his collar on when they came back in. What am I missing? That question aside, the first episode was a lot of fun.

He had the control for it that he pick pocketed.

I'm going to have to watch it again to see how/when he got that remote, because I totally missed it. My recollection is that he didn't get it until after he did the disappear/reappear thing when Owen Wilson came back into the room. Prior to that, he couldn't do shit (I think).
June 10, 20214 yr Really great start. And holy shit the editing is great - did not realize over 40 minutes had passed by so quickly.

Owen offered him a hand up off the ground. You see them sort of brush up edit - I wonder if he’s going to stop being Owen at any point during the show. I thought he did a good job not being Owen. I might actually call him Mobius at some point this season. Edited June 10, 20214 yr by UT_OB1
June 10, 20214 yr I really dug the retro late 60s/70s vibe of the TVA. Very cool and very well done. 9 hours ago, atomheartbevo said: Really great start.

Is it Wednesday yet? Very strong episode.
June 10, 20214 yr Son and I really enjoyed it. Have some questions, but may need to watch again to clear them up. But overall highly recommend.
June 10, 20214 yr edit - I wonder if he’s going to stop being Owen at any point during the show. I thought he did a good job not being Owen. I might actually call him Mobius at some point this season. I thought he was perfect. Can’t imagine anyone else in the role now, even after only one episode.

June 10, 20214 yr Spoiler We know that an upcoming movie is called Dr. Strange and the Multiverse Madness. As described in Ep1, the whole point of the TVA is to keep things on a single timeline. The MCU always has unexpected twists and turns, but it seems like they are setting up for Loki to upend that Status Quo and let the multi-verses run free. Good start to the show.
June 10, 20214 yr So Wanda in Wandavision cried. Bucky in Falcon/Winter Soldier cried. Loki cried. Really going all in on the pain stuff. And this was amusing

June 10, 20214 yr Outstanding first ep. My thoughts. This show is going to get pretty deep. Spoiler 1. Freedom of choice. Old Loki at Germany and the beginning of the show wanted to be a God who limited freedom of choices. Choice leads to bad things. He wanted to subvert his minions to give them no choices. Going through the timeline, he realizes that his life is pre-ordained. This timeline/universe is already set. He is going to kill his mom, become good and die at the hands of Thanos. He now realizes that he has no choice. He is a subject of what he wanted to do everyone in Midgard in Germany. That's a cruel irony to find out. 2. Loki is the devil Variant. His goal is to rule Midgard. Then Mobius says why not rule space. I think that's what Variant Loki wants to do. Rule space which is time. Also in doing so, he's fighting for people to have freedom of choice, the exact opposite of what he tried to do in Germany. This sets up this next MCU phase to be pretty damn deep. Is Loki a villain or a savior? Both. He wants to be the villain ruler saving everyone the freedom of choice.
