True, it took OB nearly twenty years just to build a primitive tempad with twenty first-century tools. I thought it took OB 18 months? For some reason that number stuck in my head. But also I’ll add the Centuries Later but was part of a gag. I wouldn’t look too deeply into it. I stand corrected - it was actually 19 months.

Here’s the thing, Kiddos, why would it take Loki three centuries to learn what took Victory Timely about thirty years and any Marvel kid in high school a week? And Victor only had 19th century materials to work with. It wasn't just what Victor knew, it was what OB knew. OB has been working at the TVA since the beginning of time (as far as it can be measured in the TVA) and learned massive amounts of stuff. That's why evreyone in the TVA had to go to him for answers. But it still wouldn’t take Loki three hundred years to basically repeat what OB said. Why not send OB to MIT, CalTech, Cambridge, and the Max Planck institute for 10 years, while Loki and Sylvie chill on the Hulk’s beach place…they can simply disappear while Bruce and Jennifer are around. Let’s face even St Loki couldn’t last three hundred years of campus life. This is what happened to him at Faber College.

But also I’ll add the Centuries Later but was part of a gag. I wouldn’t look too deeply into it. I take it seriously because the Loki of ancient times would’ve never told that hackneyed old joke. Also, Loki is a god with god brain and controls space and time. The joke would’ve work if OB says “About three centuries. But you are a god.” Inter-title cards: Three seconds later.

Just saying. The ‘centuries later’ gag was there for two reasons… 1. just for a chuckle. Which it got out of me. It’s a standard gag, nothing special. 2. To let us skip ahead from Lokis pov to the time this process finally works, letting us know that he’s been at this for quite some time and thus knows every nook and cranny of what’s about to happen. I don’t think it undermines Lokis intelligence or shorts us out of a scene or two. It worked just fine for me… but to each their own.

I don’t think it undermines Lokis intelligence or shorts us out of a scene or two. It worked just fine for me… but to each their own. And too we forget this is a Loki Variant, not the original who is supposedly dead in outer space somewhere out near Sakaar. I noticed all the timelines in season 2 were noted as “branched timelines.” During those three centuries, did he seek out Loki Prime or even Odin in Asgard and warn him what’s coming? Classic Loki told Loki V how to survive Thanos, we know gods can go dormant in space. If Classic Loki can survive getting his neck broken, so can Loki P. Wouldn’t you like to see Angel Loki and Devil Loki battle it out? I get that some fans are appreciative of Loki, but they want more of their favorite characters who haven’t shown up in the narrative. I hate to think Loki and Thor (with Tom and Chris in the roles) will never see each again. I can’t be hard hearted as LDM. Cowboys should get their sunsets. Never leave a man behind. Etc. As for TH getting done with the MCU? He is a huge comic nerd. It all depends on if Loki is done with him. Meet the original original.

I just spent Wednesday and Thursday night while I was traveling through the ever eventual state of Alabama, binge watching Loki season 2,,,
,,, and this series might be the smartest thing they’ve ever done. It is absolute magic and ends, not just poetically, not just appropriately, but also on one of the sickest comicbook splash panel shots they’ve ever done. Loki is perfection
Where to even begin?
Let’s start at the end. The solution to chaotic time growth was for him to establish order by rooting branching time so that it could grow in an ordered manner. And is doubled in brilliance by utilizing this variant Loki in a permanent way rather than looping him back into the main line once more. This was his purpose. And that image if him claiming his purpose, as the god he is, chefs kiss
And let’s tackle the concept that he at first selfishly wanted this thrown, was humbled not to, and then nobly realized that doing so was a sacrifice, not a reward. It was an honor and one he took for the benefit of all, not as a vanity project. Thats what true leadership is. And he will be there for eternity. I wonder if we’ll ever see him again
Quickly, that is Yggdrasil from an even more macro perspective. Typically we’ve seen it in the physical cosmos, so comprised of the stars, etc. Maximura also point out that this combines Loki with the character of Mirmir if you’d like to look that up. But this was from essentially outside the cosmic web, a concept that only applies in fiction but still. To see him rooted there, powering reality,,,
It made me think of their encounter with old Loki. “I think we’re stronger than we realize” Hiddleston said as the old main projected an image of all of Asgard to distract Alioth.
And how long he spent. “Centuries later” as he desperately figured a solution not just to the time branches, but how not to kill Sylvie. And then the moment when he realized he had grown beyond Kang’s control and could provide freedom instead of authoritarian control. This show makes a statement. It really does
There are all kinds of things to say in praise of the style and wit in getting there, but this show has crushed it. I can’t hype it enough. It may be the best entry to the CBM genre period. Absolute masterclass.

Oh but there is, because of the Ragnarok Prophecy. Odin screws up thing in the Realms…which includes Midgard/Planet Earth…because he tires to stop Ragnarok from happening and that’s already happened on the Sacred Timeline. Baldr is said to return afterwards to rebuild the Realms. They probably won’t keep the TVA narrative going beyond what’s required for future movies, but I want more Owen Wilson. On the Sacred Timeline, no one knows what the much hated Loki is doing to keep them all alive…except maybe Dr Strange. Loki Laufeyson has found his glorious purpose. His story has ended. I agree. This is the best character ending I think I’ve ever seen. And it didn’t require a death

Loki Season 2 is an official win! official official. Seasons 1 & 2 combined, the way they started, the journey it took, the ways it continuously surprised you but gave you everything you wanted in ways you didn’t expect, and absolutely the way it ended. This show made statements and bold character arcs and I’m having trouble not calling it the best thing they’ve ever done. It’s fantastic

It was a gradual process, but the progression was always trending upward; each episode of this season was better than the one that preceded it. Loki season 2 could be a template for advancing the CBM genre beyond simple hero/villain conflicts. In Loki's final arch, the notion of a villain becomes almost incidental to the climax.

The Supreme Intelligence had a lot more gas in the tank as a villain - especially with people recognizing the growing relevance of AI. I understand that the producers wanted to focus the Marvels on the interpersonal dynamics between the women, but the world-building took a huge hit. I don't understand this need to draw a hard line in the sand between story and lore. We need stories and characters, but we also need lore to be treated as more than just an easter egg hunt. There's likely no chance for a third movie based on The Marvels' embarrassing box office, but an attempt at rebuilding it would make sense for a third outing.

Looks like a nice spot, Arch. Can you divulge your location, or near abouts? Im glad it occurred to me to try it out. I wish you had gotten the slightly wider shot and the sunset was nice too. I suppose I’ll just say it’s one of the neighborhood lakes of northern Orlando. There are tons of lakes here, many you’d never even realize existed if you didn’t fly over. It’s quite flat across Florida so the only common real geography are these lakes. Some are private and others have public access parks surrounding them. I didn’t have my mic or lighting set up as this was semi impromptu so I figured I’d give that a shot. I was quite comfy lol. Hope I didn’t shake the camera too much. I can work on that

Hadn’t mentioned this before but the smaller characters are all such a big part of this.
Mobius being so happy to be a not too successful jetski salesman is pretty heartwarming. It’s wholesome as hell.
B whatever her number is being so determined to fight for freedom
KC being one of the Alcatraz escapees is insane.

In the series’ “previous episodes” intro to the last episode, He Who Remains says “It’s reincarnation, baby,” but there is no “reincarnation” per se in this series. I said on the podcast that I think Mobius is Baldar the Brave…and no believes me…because of the acute reference to the Asgardian god not mentioned anywhere in the MCU that I know of. And has a “life” on a variant timeline as a sad, failed jet ski salesman with two boys who are dead ringers for Loki and Thor. What’s up with that? There are a lot of not small but huge loose ends to this narrative. That Sylvie is a useless bitch who doesn’t give a shit about Loki while he still loves her upsets me. She doesn’t understand the sacrifice. She’s a god and she fucked the machine, she should be there helping Loki. A big thumb in the jelly donut is what happened to their relationship. Did the MCU decide to tone it down under pressure from moralists? If this is it to be the last of Mobius and Sylvie, then MCU has broken my heart more than ever.

But I’m completely satisfied with these characters. She was a strong driving influence on where this went. Not where I would have ever guessed they were going with this but I have a large slice of respect for what they did here.

Etc Mobius, Sylvie and OB I felt good about...KC and B-15 I kind of wish we knew more about. I said it on the review of one of the episodes but I kind of wish the whole relationship gave off more of a friendship vibe rather than coworker vibe. Sylvie and Mobius did, but they had been around Loki the most at this point so that makes sense. I did enjoy them as side characters though. The fact that I knew all their names says a lot about it actually because I tend to struggle with names for some reason. Lol

Where did anyone say he was a 'sad and failed jetski salesman"? Sales always have their ups and downs. He had a nice house and 2 great kids. I don't recall any mention of him not being able to make any sales. There were no indication of bill collectors beating down his door. All in all he seemed pretty happy to me and Mobius was quite happy to watch himself live that life.

Edit: that’s sounds snarky, I’m not putting down jet ski salesman or single suburban dads, but his life in the context of the possibly of him being Baldar, or “Don” as a reincarnation of Baldar. And Don is a sad-sack compared to Mobius. If he has to bribe Sean with a snake to keep Kevin from burning the place to ground….
