Marvel Cinematic Universe - The Marvels [Spoilers]

Garbon - maybe time to rename the thread?  Cuz it's Loki time!

Done though I'm not down with this mid-week jazz and will be watching it at my regularly scheduled marvel time - saturday morning.

Yeah just when Disney+ had us well trained to watch a show with the kids on Friday night (Mandalorian -> Wandavision -> FalconWintersoldier / Mighty Ducks) suddenly they put it on a Wednesday?

So reading some informed speculation about the identity of the bad guy seen at the end of the episode:

(so spoiler-y if true)

[spoiler]So I've seen the thinking is that the other Loki variant they're going after is Lady Loki (who apparently is a figure from the comics).  The reasoning is based on A: our Loki's TVA ID card which is seen quickly lists "Sex: fluid", but also that an actress Sophia Di Martino has been announced as cast in the series, but with no role announced so far.[/spoiler]

[Syt]

Not watching the show, and likely won't, but [spoiler]Loki being gender fluid is in line with mythology. After all he (as a mare) he was knocked up by Svaðilfari and gave birth to Sleipnir, and of course there's the incident where he had his balls tied to a goat's chin hairs, so he had different naughty bits at different times.[/spoiler]

Syt hardly anything of this version of Loki is inline with the Mythology though

Pff

I too got big vibes that we have seen this retro time travel stuff a lot before.
Though I like how they take it a bit further and it all comes out very fallouty.

I guess as a set up first episode they did a good job in repeating so many moments from the films as I wouldn't remember otherwise.
So far so Meh. Let's see.

Looking better than the first two series.

Watch #1 last night.

I really like it. Unlike others I haven't watch Umbrella Academy, so the TVA is all new tv concept and very interesting.

Second episode was a bit more interesting. Picked up the pace significantly.

Incidentally, I don't get why the TVA don't ditch the riot cop gear while on missions and try to blend in more, given they always seem to draw people's attention everywhere they go. I assume they DGAF since they can just reset that timeline afterwards, but it would probably make their job a little easier

I like that Holding Out For A Hero showed up.

Yeah, the riot gear doesn't seem to protect very well, so not a great tradeoff between protection and allowing the variant to easily identify them.

Its basically wearing a Trek red shirt.

And this is the first with an after credit scene right? The 8 minute long credits of Disney shows anger me.

the one before that had a seen[spoiler]Rambeau discovers Harkness' basement and his suprised by "Pietro"[/spoiler]

[celedhring]

Fun episode, although when you think of it very little happens in it.

I like the actress playing Lady Loki Sylvie, though.

Late to the party, but I really like WandaVision so far.  Only 1 episode left!
