HOMOEROTIC JESUS posted:I am going to be a little sad if next episode is the last we see of Owen Wilson/Tom Hiddleston buddy cop in the MCU. On that note, is there any indication that Sylvie will be in anything after this show is over? I believe there's nothing. I'm gonna be sad if they kill her off.  She's a cool fun character. they still owe us a jet ski. Come on. Edit: I just noticed something, the Loki in the throne from the trailers is wearing his suit from Thor 1. In Avengers they had changed the design of his fine Asgardian leather. Neat detail. Desperado Bones fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Jul 10, 2021 |

Oh well, w/e, it's a minor thing overall and I still enjoyed it for sure. Yelena and the semi 4th wall shade throwing was pretty funny.

howe_sam posted:I personally didn't see anyone guess ahead of time, which granted doesn't mean much, but within the context of the movie it was obvious enough that I figured it out ahead of time. I really need to stop reading the internet's opinions about shows and movies I enjoy, because I gamed out at least half of the ridiculous arguments people are currently having about this flick while I would've rather been just enjoying a movie. But I do understand the people whose complaint is "why even make it Taskmaster if you're going to change everything" here, because very few in this thread have given me the impression that they're just mad she isn't a dude. Nazis have this whole tactic where they make everything — literally everything they can think of — into an ideological fight so they can recruit new members to their cause, and I'm very tired of all the non-nazis having to play defense against that bullshit when we just want to enjoy a distraction *from* the state of the world. So, big ups to all y'all who stated your criticisms while acknowledging who else is on the side of "new Taskmaster bad" and going into the specifics of why; something you shouldn't have to do, but nonetheless now do. That has to suck. Sentient Data posted:I probably would have been surprised if there weren't an entire page of naked movie spoilers in a thread that's only supposed to be about the tv shows It behaves like a TV show. We watch some episodes in the theater and some at home. I don't think it's unreasonable that it's assumed you're up to date on said show if you're going to discuss it on the internet, particularly when those doing so are using spoiler tags for their explicit purpose.

Per an accidental leak via Marvel Studios Canada, Hunter B-15 is a Loki. Edit: Could’ve also been a mistake, but perhaps not. Gonz fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Jul 11, 2021 |

Gonz posted:Per an accidental leak via Marvel Studios Canada, Hunter B-15 is a Loki. This sounds like bullshit because Loki made a big deal about Sylvie being a lady, and also Sylvie would have probably reacted to that after either of the times she enchanted B-15. I see the tweet that is the leak, I imagine it was an accident. Edit: Even more of a reason to think it was an accident, There's no image of Sylvie, so they probably put an image of B-15 where Sylvie should have been.

Sylvie is a fan favourite I'd be very surprised if she isn't a co-star of the next season. Definitely my favourite thing to come out of Loki, alongside that Luca crossover poster upthread

Here's something I'm not clear on: is the Void being full of just Loki variants and apparently no one else just a budget/convenience thing or is there an actual explanation on why we don't see any other survivors there?

We did sorta, I don't think all the people with President Loki were other Loki's. Like a lot of them were but I think there were some randos who just managed to survive the void and meet up with some Loki's, like if some of the sailors had made it off the ship we saw. The other answer is the Loki's are best at surviving, its what they do, so it would make sense they would be overrepresented.

Lokis also have magic and other super powers to help them although that leads one to wonder why there aren't a bunch of Captains America in various flavors puttering around or whatever.

Yes, I'm kinda considering that either she gets back to her time line or gets lost in the multiverse, and TVA Loki is set on a new quest to find her. I don't think they are gonna give us a happy ending. I also hope they release the multiverse when they smooch, they're gonna save the universe with the power of their messed up love

I suppose it's also possible Lokis are the ones creating branching timelines more often than other people (although that honestly doesn't gel too much with Moebius saying that their main purpose was to eventually just die).

BTW this is the best Taskmaster thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zBtl3wiBCk And yea, i can totally accept that the Void is home to multiple Lokis due to them having a good instinct for survival and they tend to be variants more than anyone else.

I think he also says they've had to deal with more Lokis than any other variant type. So, Lokis are always going to be a majority, plus Lokis have a higher than average survival rate during the first 5 minutes, which is crucial.

Black Widow was the movie equivalent of an Annual issue, right down to the implied "this takes place after the events of Civil War" editorial note. It was an okay film, but congrats to Marvel for making a movie with absolutely no stakes an entertaining experience.

RE Taskmaster and the Black Widow; It would have been better had she said " I still hate you." after being freed from the mind control. That way Taskmaster could return and be more the rear end in a top hat the character is in the book.

taskmasker spoiler/speculation: Rachel Weisz's character may exploit the vacuum left by Winstone's character's departure and build her own red room and use taskmasker in another slightly nicer but equally unethical way, which we may see in a future avengers or black widow movie/series?

Taskmaster had always been an uninteresting character. “I can copy anybody’s physical talents…guess I’ll do crimes and teach c-list henchmen how fight like cooler people”. What a lovely origin and motivation. At least MCU Taskmaster has a hosed up origin with some pathos. She got blown up by a future Avenger and her own father used what was left to make a mind controlled cyborg killing machine because she was too scarred to be a Widow. I bet her and Nebula would have a lot to talk about.
