 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Lamentis”
This is firmly the worst Marvel Disney plus show through episode 3 at least. Hoping 4-6 can propel it past TFATWS. But it won’t touch WandaVision

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Lamentis”
No way, Falcon and Winter Soldier was legitimately bad at times, first time I’ve ever said that about an MCU property. Loki hasn’t lived up to its potential but its still wildly entertaining and weird.
Wandavision still queen though, no doubts about that.

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Lamentis”
Episode 3 of this was worse than any episode of Falcon for sure. Which parts were so bad? I didn’t like Karli Mirganthau but that was it.

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Lamentis”
I just thought episode 3 and 5 of Falcon were so boring. I didn't like spending time with Carli or Fake Cap at all.
I think both that and this would have been better as two hour movies though. Wandavision is so far the only one to really fit the tv format.

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Lamentis”
Wandavision had vision. Falcon and Winter soldier was missing wings. Loki thus far is mildly mischievous.

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Lamentis”
"Loki" is still better than the colossal misfire that was "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" (and that's saying something for me because I've always hated Loki as a character), but man have these shows been complete belly-flops compared to "WandaVision." That felt like a pop culture phenomenon when it was on air and was also legitimately great. I feel like no one is talking about these Marvel shows in the general public anymore - they also basically feel like high-budget TNT procedural knockoffs.

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Lamentis”
Lamentis brings out Laments. Such a crappy episode with uninteresting character introduction.

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Lamentis”
I mean theyball pale compared to WandaVision. But none of these characters are as interesting as Wanda was.

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Lamentis”
I also think releasing on Wednesday hurts the hype train. I get why they did it considering that Luca and Black Widow will release on Fridays during its run, but even me, one of the biggest MCU fans, forgot that it aired last week until I saw a headline.
But yeah, no one is talking about any potential secrets like Owen being a Loki or the Timekeepers being fake (this one is pretty obvious.) Spending an entire episode getting to know the new Enchantress will probably pay off in the future, but it definitely hurt the momentum of the show happening in the present. Where was the TVA when they decided this???

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “The Nexus Event”
I fully expect next episode to be a downer after the high of this episode in order to setup a big finale. This episode was good but again too many convulted plot points building which even for a series would not be enough to tie together.

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “The Nexus Event”
So is Gugu a Loki too? And this is a basically a Dread Pirate Roberts situation?
If she had actually killed Owen she leaps into top ten marvel villains list. I assume Owen Loki will be back though.

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Journey Into Mystery”
As expected the last episode was just another bait. This episode was heavy on visuals and the main storyline/mystery continues to be great but the joke of multiple Loki's is getting old and the continuous "I will enchant it" doesn't make for an exciting reveal in the end.

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Journey Into Mystery”
At this stage we already had the iconicness that is "Agatha All Along" what has Loki ever given us that comes close to that? Another dissapointing episode. Thank god for ack Widow cuz 2021 marvel is losing me fast af

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Journey Into Mystery”
The scene where all the Lokis were betraying each other was gold. About that.
Another excellent episode. I’ll be sad to see it go next week, but the finale should continue the excellence!

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Journey Into Mystery”
I think Loki is a fun, very fun actually, series. But the first episode showed more promise and it just settled into something you typically expect from tv instead. The cast is good though and still look forward to next episode.

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Journey Into Mystery”
Loki/Sylvie will be such a power couple if they both survive this (I think Hiddleston goes down … but not before telling the main timeline Loki about the Thanos trick.)

 Re: Marvel’s Loki “Journey Into Mystery”
hmm the iconicness of "agatha all along" Lol give me a break. It was fun way to make the most obvious plot twist of all time work, but that's about it. I've been digging this one and Wandavision the most. Both are breaking new ground and leave me wanting more. Less said about Falcon and the Winter soldier being stale and low rent, the better.
