So is everyone ignoring the fact one of the Timekeepers is Kang because it's incredibly obvious or am I nuts?

stev posted:I really hope the show doesn't try to sell us on the idea that this Loki achieved all of that development by watching YouTube videos of it. This is still hours after he committed all those atrocities. We're definitely getting a scene where he pulls the ol' double cross on the TVA. I think this story is going be less about Loki becoming a hero and more about the TVA being so bad that they make Loki look good in comparison

Thought this ep was a bit of a dip from the first one (too much clunky exposition) but still good I'm picking up some strong Wizard of Oz vibes from the Timekeepers. I heavily doubt they exist in the same sense and purpose the TVA believes they do

Escobarbarian posted:I mean arguably the first one was even worse at this, no? The exposition in the first ep felt a lot more natural as Loki was being introduced to the world and was heavily grounded by the emotion of him seeing his future and realising his planned fate isn't what he expected. This episode has stuff like explaining the reset bombs and Loki's powers cause they come up at the end of episode even though everyone in the scene already knows about them. At one point Loki even says 'but you all knew that already' which just made it more clunky!

Psychedelicatessen posted:There's some gendery stuff going on too, but I don't know enough about that subject to properly comment on it Speaking as a trans person I really hope Loki/Sylvie's gender expression is something that's acknowledged in the script. At the moment all it really does is serve as shorthand to establish how different Sylvie's variant is to Loki's. It's not genderfluid if Loki and Sylvie's genders are both fixed which is why I hope they dive into it more. If they just leave it like this then all it does as come across as a bunch of cis people trying to do a gender thing to be inclusive and not really getting it.

Mobius should just get brought in the main Earth world when Loki finishes. He can get a desk job with New York Council and every time superheroes get in a fight he shows up to cheerfully tell them their breaking several city ordinances

Not that I'm ragging on more Kathryn Hahn cause obviously I'm not but I have no idea what they could do with an Agatha-led show. She's not exactly known for carrying her own storylines.

Teek posted:I wonder if the watch belongs to Laura. The way she's been a knowledge resource and easily transitioned to Russian, I wonder if the watch was her parting gift when she retired from SHIELD? Maybe when she and Clint got married and started a home life, she gave up the spy life and raised the kids. This would match up to Clint saying it belonged to someone who has been out of the game for awhile. Yeah that's what I thought too and Laura being a former badass makes sense for her understanding of the world Hawkeye lives in and also would be a really cool season finale reveal. Plus Linda Cardellini rules and should get to be awesome

Man, there's no real standout moments that make me go holy poo poo but even so I think this might be my favourite of the Disney+ shows. My love for Kate, Clint and Yelena is so much that I could watch an entire series of them just taking Yelena on a sightseeing tour of NYC

The easiest way of integrating the Netflix shows is to just recast Iron Fist with a dude who doesn't suck. Everyone loves Charlie Cox and Krysten Ritter and Mike Colter and all three can carry their weight in further products so just turf out the one guy who's poo poo and bring in someone else Anyway when does Fiege announce our Kate Bishop/Yelena Romanov buddy cop movie?

I saw the Spider movie. If we ever see Daredevil in the MCU, Feige you son of a bitchlive with fruit posted:I rewatched the episode and it made me wonder if Pugh really brought it in that scene because Marvel has recently been rewarding overachievers, like with Echo and House of Harkness. I doubt Pugh needs to worry about that. You don't cast a huge Hollywood actor to replace one of your top heroes without having intentions to keep them around. We'll be getting an announcement for a Kate/Yelena vehicle soon after the finale

I loved loved loved it. They captured everything I love about Hawkeye as a character and assuming this is Jeremy Renner's last ride the MCU finally did Clint justice and we got our confirmation that Hawkeye did end up with Mockingbird . Hailee Stenfield has been an absolute revelation as Kate and her chemistry with Florence Pugh is off the charts. We have to get a season 2 confirmation or a movie or something announced like yesterday. I need more Kate/Yelena in my life. I also dug Echo and I'm looking forward to her show too which Kingpin will pretty clearly still be alive for. Overall the show had a slow start but they closed out really strong, I still recognise that Wandavision is the best of the MCU shows but this is definitely going down as my favourite.
