Ya, that takes a chuck out of Infinity War, you mean they have Vision laying on a table, when he could have just filleted Thanos in half and ended the fight at a glance.
Charitably it's because Corvus speared him and he was malfunctioning, obviously Ultron wasn't f'ing around with Wanda and getting stabbed in the back when the Black Order arrived.

The darker episodes were more enjoyable than the fluffy ones for me. I think that's why I missed ultron at the end of ep7: I was pretty zoned out by the emd of it
Loved seeing Galactus. That moment felt more childhood-Marvel than present-Marvel, if that makes any sense

Did not care for this episode, they just threw the rules out, I like that the infinity stones don't work outside their native universe, and the reason sucked it was simply because Ultron.

I’d have to rewatch Loki but was the problem Loki couldn’t use them because they weren’t his stones or was it because the stones were outside the universe.
The super Sayan watcher was stupid though.

Something notable about the stones is that they were only used purely for power beams, and not to actually do what they do. But that could just be because action and reasons and DBZ (I love DBZ so I didn't mind the ?maybe? homage).
For some reason I've re-watched this one a few times. I really enjoy it. Wish Age of Ultron could have been something similar (not as crazy obviously, but more of him winning).

Damn why didn't I see the ending with Killmonger and Zola Ultron battling for the infinity stones in a pocket universe coming?
I'll admit I scanned the episodes after looking for Stark and Gamora. Was a bit awkward missing this episode in S1 but I guess it works as a set up for S2.
Took me a minute to figure out Black Widow was sent back to the universe where the Avengers were killed. Cool call back. Not sure the after credits scene added much though.

I thought it was a meh episode. They pulled things together a little too quickly and easily, look at the way the OG Guardians and the Avengers fought each other before coming together, then needed Coulson or Groot to die in order to bond as a family that would fight so well together.
The8 ending told us this all went the way the watcher wanted, but is so.
Why did he wait for it to get to this point, it just didn't tie together that neatly?
Why did he break his oath to send Nat somewhere else?
The overt sexual tension works a lot better between Nat and Steve, than Peggy and Steve for some reason (although the later works OK in my imagination).
Certainly the weakest finale of the Marvel+ offerings to date.

Just watched it. These were very special infinity stones, I don't like how they changed them.
There where some nivpce parts like the battles, and that very cool Ironman armor from Gamora's universe. I enjoyed the Civil War Caprain Carter uniform,.

Nivpce post, you might be a touch drunk there Caprain. FYI, I think people who correct my spelling/grammar here are losers, so please please call me a loser.
Captain Carters character was set during the events of Winter Soldier in this one, and I'm guessing her episode for season 2 will be surrounding the fact that Steve/Hydrastomper has been an elite brainwashed assassin for the past 80 years, cryogenically frozen while we wasn't carrying out Hydras missions, hell he might have even gotten a does of super soldier serum, giving him a more recognizable Steve Rogers look.

This seems unnecessary.

I wasnt a big fan of the series. I enjoyed the Thor episode as it was fun.
What are peoples thoughts on how this will relate to the movies? What will crossover?

For those (like myself) who feel parts were rushed or felt misplaced, apparently the episodes were originally supposed to be in the 40-50 min range and there was an extra one featuring Gamora and Stark (as seen in finale), but all was cut down due to Covid.
I found this interesting as you'd think an animated show would be one of the easier things to complete when dealing with lockdowns.
It's too bad because, while I did enjoy most of it, the parts I didn't enjoy were because it felt short-changed in areas, so having it expanded would have been good IMO.

The last two episodes, while cool, I just couldn't get past the plothole with the Infinity Stones. I know the writer explained it, but it just felt like a lazy attempt to explain it away.

What were the exact rules established in Loki? I interpreted it the same as you: Infinity Stones only hold power according to their respective Universe. Could it be that they were, instead, rendered neutral within the realm of the TVA?
If it is truly the former, I'm a little miffed that they played fast and loose with the Stones. I'll get over it because I love the MCU, but it bugs me.

I had interpreted that the stones didn't work in the TVA realm because they were outside of regular spacetime, but then you'd think that would apply to the Watcher's living room as well.
regarding TLT, the MCU has a long long way to go before they could introduce that guy in a sensible manner. they've only barely hinted at the celestials, and it's a long way up the cosmic ladder (Galactus/Order/Chaos/Stranger/In-Betweener/Death/Infinity/Eternity) that I'm not sure the casual audience would be that receptive to.
besides, even TLT has been turned into a Worf-like punching bag in the past few years of comics. off the top of my head I can think of at least 3 instances of him getting dummied just to show how badass the series villain is, and it would suck to have him show up in MCU only to start doing that same thing later on.
