Really enjoyed episode 1. I liked the whole bit with Loki in the past telling them what they needed so it existed in the future. Had some good laughs and some wild visuals. I also liked that it seems self aware of all the babble jargon, with characters just kind of resigning themselves to whatever is happening or said.

Episode 2 had some great moments. Loki showing a bit of his power finally, and Zainiac was a very unexpected easter egg.

Episode two was good, but did I miss something? I kind of seemed like there was supposed to be an episode that led into this.

It definitely felt like there was something cut out. They covered it up by having Owen Wilson voice over why they were there when he and Loki went into the crowd.

Glad I wasn't the only one. Between them suddenly being in 1977 and the rogue group blowing up time lines it felt very rushed.

It's all getting a little convoluted, but I'm hanging in there.

If Loki is set up a bit like a Marvel multiverse crime series, sounds cool! Just tell good stories.

Strange episode 2. So they have to find Sylvie for reasons but when they do the plot pivots to the branches being destroyed.

Is every MCU show just going to be a 4 hour movie broken up? Feels like Loki would work better being more episodic with a weekly mystery as part of a bigger narrative.

I'm half-way through and beginning to agree with you.

Episode 3 had Loki as a side character on his own show. It was all Jonathan Majors going full ham, that strange love triangle, and Sylvie’s moral dilemma (I did enjoy this).

Lots of set up that hopefully pays off in episode 4.

Surprised no feedback on episode 5. I thought it was good. I have just loved Ke Huy Quan all season and thought his non TVA version. Thought the same of Owen Wilson. He kind of got to play into his wheelhouse of out of his depths just along for the ride goofy self.

I'm not good at picking apart plot inconsistencies like a lot of you, so I have enjoyed the ride overall.

Agreed. I loved the way this ended. Having Loki end up
Spoiler!
was absolutely spot on.

Very cool Enjoyed this whole series. I kinda hope there isn't anymore and they leave it at 2 seasons. Seems like they might have tried a little set up spark but don't see how it can go from here without ruining the end. I'd rather see him left for the Avengers again somehow.
