MaxMovieMan 291 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Episodes 1 and 2 are a bit of a slow start but episode 3 genuinely makes me interested in what the MCU has to offer going forward. Makes the whole Kang thing interesting again. Haven’t felt like this about the MCU since probably Loki season 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNHFan2000 3,393 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I thought episode 1 was incredible. It starts right where season 1 ended, so that's great! It moves really fast and has high stakes. Episode 2 is still really good, but was a bit slow at times and the stakes didn't feel as high. But episode 3 was the best. Everything worked. There was some stuff with Miss Minutes of which I was surprised that Disney let them do that. And indeed it makes Kang/He Who Remains very interesting. I have my theories on the rest of the season but it would mean talking about big spoilers, so I won't do that. It's really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,451 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I'm rather disappointed by that second season Episode 1 was a complete filler. The two only really good thing are the introduction of Ke Huy Quan and Holt's music. The cinematography is pretty ugly, there's a lot of awful shots, a couple of messed up CGI leading in pretty bad directed episode IMO. The plot is very thin, only delaying the beginning of the actual story of one episode. You don't really get Hiddleston and Wilson together which was one of the best thing of the first season Episode 2 was a bit the same (slightly better) with no awful shots this time. The cinematography is still ugly (I know it will stay the same for the rest of the show but I can't stand it). The plot was poorly paced, not really starting at the end of episode 1 with a giant ellipse that should have been covered in an actual first episode. Sylvie becomes quite annoying which is a bit sad IMO. The end of the episode comes a bit out of nowhere with a poorly staged action scene, ruining once more the pace of the episode. Holt's music is still great though and it was nice to have some fun interactions between Mobius and Loki. Episode 3. Another not really interesting episode, even though the main idea was terrific, the writing of the dialogue was quite redundant and poor. Sylvie's becoming even more annoying. Mobius and Loki almost do nothing together again (a shame). Majors performance is okay but the stuttering gets a little irritating when you're viewing the same dialogues second time. On the good side we have still Holt's music, great sets and costumes (but still the awful cinematography ruining them) JNHFan2000, GerateWohl, MaxMovieMan and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNHFan2000 3,393 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 WOOOOOOW! Episode 4 of season 2 was a rollercoaster. After last week with the stuff they did with Miss Minutes I thought they couldn't top that. But this episode went beyond. I am gonna talk about spoilers below, so beware if you haven't seen it yet. The box kill scene was fantastic. The way Miss Minutes looked when it happened was so creepy. And I'm surprised that Disney let this show go that dark. As for Miss Minutes' "death". That was cool. Very spooky. I love how menacing they were able to make a cartoon clock. Then for the final moments with Victor Timely. I was so shocked when he turned to spaghetti. That was incredible and then that cliffhanger ending! Where is this seties going??? This felt truly like a season finale but we have 2 more episodes to go. Will this set up Kang as the villain he should be? Will have anything to do with Deadpool 3 or Secret Wars? Personally, I feel that the timelines have been reset and all the characters are back to where they were taken from. It feels like something very big is coming and I'm here for it. This is the Marvel that I love! After Ant-Man 3 & Secret Invasion were downers, this is truly Marvel at the top of their powers. Now let's hope it continues beyond Loki.

Knight of Ren 926 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Agree! Great episode. I feel Loki is the best Marvel has done in the last 3 or 4 years. It has its flaws, but it also has real emotions, and it feels like something is about to happen, making you more invested in the show and its characters, while in other recent Marvel stuff you never feel like there are any real stakes at all. I hope they can conclude the season on a high note, and finally establish Kang as the ominous and powerful villain he's supposed to be! There haven't been any news on the music yet, so I guess they will do a single album when the season is over. I hope it's a long one!

(See below) Spoiler My theory: This episode's ending I feel is gonna have repurcussions for the whole MCU and I think the final 2 episodes are gonna be big. So I wouldn't be surprised (because no music was released this week) if the first volume of music is from episode 1-4 and and the 2nd for the final 2 episodes. Just a theory.

MaxMovieMan 291 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 What an episode! God this is what I loved about the MCU. At the end of the day it’s a a giant serial series and Loki completely has that feeling. You actually feel the weight of what’s happening. By far the best Disney Plus Marvel show and to me it’s not even close, especially if this sticks the landing. SPOILERS Spoiler This has got to be the most brutal piece of MCU media I’ve seen in a long time. The box scene for one was wild honestly gave me the chills (Massive “Nope” vibes with the UFO above the house) and the spaghettification of Victor Timely also left me stunned. I really liked him as a character and didn’t expect him to be taken out so fast. By the end of this whole Multiverse Saga we’ll look back and say he was probably the closest to a pure-hearted Kang variant. Does this whole ordeal mean that He Who Remains’ plan is thrown out the window now? Or did he know this was gonna happen. I love theorizing this stuff and it’s why I used to be such a big fan of the MCU. Hopefully they can keep up this momentum and Jonathan Majors can return as Kang.

MaxMovieMan 291 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 So far the music this season hasn’t impressed me as much as season 1’s did but maybe that’s just me. I think it might be the lack of my favorite theme (Sylvie’s theme) from almost the entire season or maybe it’s because it seems like they’re reusing a lot of tracks from the first season. Episode 4 had probably the best music so far in the season for me so that gives me hope that Holt is gonna put her all into these last 2 episodes. This first album is a tough listen on the last third. Not a fan at all of that old-timey piano music even if it fits the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxMovieMan 291 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Another great episode with great music as well. SPOILERS Spoiler Seeing what the main characters’ lives were like on the timelines was very cool. Always wanted to see Mobius on a jet ski. My only problem with the whole branched timelines was the fact that Loki didn’t make it imperative that they were dying to Sylvie and therefore she didn’t go with him causing everyone to die. If he had just laid out the problem then they could’ve done it in time maybe. However this problem might be removed because of the twist. It’s not science it’s fiction and Loki can’t solve the problem by bringing all the variants together (Which kind of makes the bulk of the episode pointless but anyways) so he instead solves it by realizing he’s the main character basically? Is Loki the god of the MCU or something? He says that it’s not what, when, or why but who. For some reason Loki can control time. Then that final shot with Loki time-slipping back to right before Timely died. Such a great way to end the episode. I thought the thing was gonna end with another downer cliffhanger but no it makes you even more hyped. Overall this episode brought lots of stakes (The Loki series overall seems like the most important thing in Phases 4 and 5) and makes me very excited for the finale. This is great television.

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,451 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I found the main idea of today's episode really good. It was great to finally really see Loki for an entire episode. I really wish this episode would have been use as the first of season 2 (with some obvious rewriting) instead of this late arrival. Anyway, like for the previous episodes I really miss Kate Herron and Arkapaw who had far more interesting images. Holt's music is still very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDementous 1,177 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 That was nonsense. This show can't establish and stick to rules to save its life and takes the horribly dull approach of just making things happen Loki reasonably assumes all the universes are ending, yet apparently that was him coping with not wanting to admit he wants to force these people into the TVA so he has friends? The fuck? And then Sylvie doesn't think that all the universes are ending until she sees things literally unravel in front of her. No one assumes the obvious so we can have some trite character conflict that is undone immediately when Sylvie comes up and says 'actually everything is ending' which yeah, no shit what did you think time ending was going to do.

JNHFan2000 3,393 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I thought this was fantastic!!!!! The way they played around with different moments from both S2 & S1 was really well done. Especially when Loki got a bit upset, Hiddlestone played that very well. Then going back to He Who Remains and later Mobius was really cool. The scene with Mobius was very well done and had a great emotional hook. Then for Loki to become the person at the end of time (costume change and all included) was brilliant. The visuals are some of the most inventive I've seen in a long time. The VFX team really brought their A-game! Holt's music was fantastic, especially for Loki's big moment and the end credits. I really hope the 2nd volume is a big one! MaxMovieMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxMovieMan 291 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Solid fan of the series too overall. Finale was a lot of fun and tbh… Spoiler leaves Loki in a Bran Stark-like state as he is now stuck in a tree full of knowledge. The brass in that final track was incredible.

Knight of Ren 926 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Yeah, great finale! Fitting and a great ending to both seasons, and I thought it had some pretty epic moments, especially during the final moments of the episode. Spoiler That image of Loki holding the branches together, and then the reveal that it's shaping into a huge tree feels like a direct reference to an element in Norse mythology, the Yggdrasil, the tree of knowledge, associated with both life and death, which makes sense, since now Loki is the now in control of the lives of all people in the different timelines Pretty solid show, and one of my favorite things Marvel has done in the last few years. Holt's music was pretty great too, and especially the last couple of tracks showcased what a great composer she can be! JNHFan2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giftheck 995 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 It was the best thing to come out of the MCU by a country mile for years. And the last ten minutes actually reminded me of an exchange of dialogue back in The Avengers Spoiler where Tony told Loki that there was basically no version of that where he came out with a throne, or coming out on top. While obviously not the intent at the time, the finale recontextualises that, and when you think a little bit more about it, you realise that Loki being where he is right now actually all comes down to actions that Tony himself took part in to begin with.

MaxMovieMan 291 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Hulk blasting that door open might be the single most significant event in the MCU now. Literally reshaped all reality. Spoiler Now that Loki is in charge and the TVA is destroying HWR variants I wonder if this might make it easier for them to shift away from the whole Kang thing if Jonathan Majors is guilty. It’s also a great set-up for Deadpool 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNHFan2000 3,393 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Just a small note on the music That end credits music was sooo good in the way that it mixed Loki's Green Theme & the TVA/He Who Remains theme.

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,451 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Finally a good episode for that second season (too bad it was only the last one). The plot was very interresting, acting is really good, Holt's score is great (although it has been the all time), VFX were okay (a couple of bad green screen but I guess that's what we're stick with now). The only weak parts are still the directing and cinematography but I wasn't expecting them to change that just for the finale. Overall the series was really disapointing IMO, with a story dragging around to get to ultimatly this clever finale. In the end I think that a Loki movie would have been far superior, taking away the filler parts to get one strong movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
