So was the “visits the 70s” a big fakeout?

Marvel's 'Loki' Series First Look Takes Tom Hiddleston Back to the 1970s

 

The DB Cooper airplane case was in 1971 so it was just a little easter egg but still there.

 

Well, it clearly wasn't the "Loki time-travelling and altering history" description we had back then.

 

I think Alligator Loki could get his own spin-off series. It could be a bit like Crocodile Dundee with Alligator Loki coming to New York and being a fish out of water. At the end he could walk over people's heads in a subway to declare his love for a woman.

 

This show slaps.

1. Loki
2. WandaVision












3. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

 

I think they may have out-crazied Wandavision somehow. I’m impressed that 2 of the first 3 shows are so unusual and unpredictable.

 

I know some people didn't like the sitcom approach for WandaVision, but you can't say that they played it safe or didn't try something ambitious, because both WandaVision and Loki are definitely unique in that regard.

So far Loki is even more weird and feels even less appealing than that show, but honestly I love it and hope they continue taking more risks with their projects in the future.

 

And the other one had Karli Morgenthau...

 

She was unusually/unpredictably boring.

 

I guess we would expect some level of weird with Loki and the show just dialled that up massively. Wandavision could easily have been played straight so what they chose to do was a massive risk, especially as the first Marvel show. Even more so that they didn’t break the sitcom backdrop for the first few episodes.

 

Wow that last episode. Like I said last week this series is EASILY the best of the 3 IMO. My favorite of them for sure it’s not even close. This just surpasses the other two by so much it’s ridiculous.

 

Actually, that is still the premise of the show. All the variants are Lokis from different time periods, that altered history. Slyvie is trying to alter the "sacred timeline".

 

Mmm yeah, you could say that. But when you have that description against artwork of Loki in the 70's with Jaws playing in the background... it's misleading.

 

I was worried Sylvie would turn into another Karli. So happy to be wrong.

 

Does variant Loki need to return to the Sacred Timeline the moment he left in order for the events of Endgame to happen?

In the original timeline, Loki gets captured, taken prisoner, becomes Odin, which leads to real Odin’s death. He saves the Space Stone in Ragnarok so that Thanos can get it, which leads to Infinity War and Endgame. So if he disappeared and didn’t return, Thanos doesn’t get the Space Stone and no one gets dusted?

Don’t think any premiere will top it for a while. Loki fanbase is huge.

 

Loki Composer Teases Season Finale's Epic Score (Exclusive)

 

I don’t think so because I think when the TVA prunes a branch all aberrations are removed (and sent to the void) so it would’ve ‘reset’ everything back to match up with the ‘sacred timeline’ where loki is taken to Asgard and things play out as they ‘should’


I could be wrong though

 

Once Loki grabbed the Tesseract, the timeline split. One timeline continued as it always had where Loki never grabbed the Tesseract, the other timeline would never have reached Endgame because Loki wasn't around (to help Thor in Ragnarok, etc.). But the change to the second timeline doesn't erase the first timeline (Back to the Future is bullsh*t) and the second timeline doesn't matter anymore because it no longer exists. The TVA destroyed it.

 

Season 2?

 

So, do we have a title for the finale yet?
It's going to be hard to beat a title like Journey Into Mystery
