So no season 3, I'm guessing.
Amazing finale. Upped the stakes on what made Kang Kang, as well. He's not just some guy who beat a couple of dudes off-screen as powerful as him, he has carefully cultivated a world where, functionally immortal, it took a god as powerful as him if not more powerful given the magic, willing to do what he would not, to "beat" him. And even then, he's not really been beaten, simply replaced by someone doing what he could do, but would not for the risk it brought.
It does retoroactively also make Quantumania even weaker though. And I'm saying that as someone who found that movie alright — though certainly not nearly a "great" MCU movie. Technology aside, you're telling me 616 Kang got outsmarted by Ant-Man? Like, Ant-Man is smart, but in the MCU he has certainly not been portrayed as nearly this smart. Or maybe they will pull him out of the probabilistic drive thing to start the Kang Dynasty and this was all planned and just poorly explained.
Jonathan Majors was great here. I really hope things work out with his case and it's proven he is innocent. He's such a good actor and commands the room when he speaks. His presence will be missed if he ends up having to exit the MCU.
I think they'll recast if needs be, cuz while the TVA is monitoring Kangs the TVA also clearly falls by the End of Time.
Oh I'm sure. I just hate to lose a talent like Jonathan Majors. But if it needs to be, so be it.
I haven't seen Ant-Man yet, but was that who Mobius was talking about at the end? The "616 adjacent" variant?
It could just be that those were the 'stupid'-er variants so far, and that there are much better "616 adjacent" ones out there
Most people believe that line was indeed referring to Quantamania. And here’s hoping we see a better version of Kang the Conquerer later. They’ve found ways to write around things before like, The Mandarin.
It seems like "Season 3" is just Avengers: Kang Dynasty. I hope they really give us that payoff.
Also "Centuries later" was great.
Ground hog day Marvel style. Where’s Bill Murray when you need him? Oh wait he’s in the Quantum Realm 🤣
I laughed at that bit
When he thought he won after so many tries, I felt some of that relaxation you get when you FINALLY beat the boss fight after practising over and over and over and over again
And then it’s a new boss that wasn’t part of any lore in the game and is ten times harder.
::Hollow Knight says hi.
Whovian shit right there, unexpected, but welcomed
I'm...
speechless...
Same. The visuals were amazing. Loki ascending to his throne… chefs kiss 🤌
Same. I'm absolutely blown away...except for Agents of Shield, i never much cared for the TV Series. Loki for me personally has just climbed the throne of "Best TV Series ever".
This was tragically uplifting, satisfyingly tragic, and really felt as much like a Benson and Moorhead movie as it did a Marvel series. Loved that little taste of dread that came with the noble sacrifice to an eternity of glorious purpose!
I understand that the TVA is out there hunting Kang variants now to stop them fucking up the multiverse, while Loki stops the branches from dying by keeping other things in check with his magic.
I'm guessing Loki is able to beat the scaling issue of infinite number of universes through infinite magic the multiverse contains. Just a bunch of speculation here.
So we have Loki replacing He Who Remains
I loved how they merged Loki/Yggdrasil and the Merlin mythology all together.
Merlin, the legend goes, is imprisoned in an oak tree, tortured for eternity by thousands of needles piercing his flesh.
So towards the end the time travel aspects of all this made less and less sense, but hey, its a show, I honestly do not mind that. Time travel is always a bit like that. And maybe my brain is a bit slow today since I am home with Covid.
Overall I think really nice season. From what I remember I was more impressed with the first one, but Season 2 was good. I guess no Season 03 then, unless its about how Loki gets out of this again, ever? Hows that working in the comics?
Great, now I want green spaghetti.
You will like pesto!
I do like it :)
It was entertaining and I enjoyed watching the characters. But all time related stuff seemed to not follow any logic and just do whatever was needed. I would have liked if it was more coherent.
The way I look at it, Time works in the TVA the same way as it does in Back to the Future, which Ant-Man was surprised to find out was bull shit in Endgame. It can do this because it exists outside of time.
They say there’s no time in the TVA and people don’t age there, but events still need to have a sequence and there are no alternate TVAs out there.
Now Loki is sitting in the position of He Who Remains and is acting as the temporal loom himself.
This is interesting because if Marvel ends up dropping Jonathan Majors, The Kang Dynasty could become The Loki Dynasty and I don’t think anyone would have a problem with that.
this was just so good, made up for the very weird start imo
