well sheeeit I kinda want to watch this now. Looks p fun!

first ep: very meh. Kinda undecided if I'll continue or not. WandaVision's premiere felt a lot more promising than this

not that he was ever a standout to me but Hiddleston's delivery was weirdly stilted. Owen Wilson was the only semi-fun character in the premiere

ok I caught up thru ep 5 and this is actually p solid (even though reading any online discussion gushing over it makes me reflexively hate it). I have a lot of doubts the finale will have a satisfying conclusion but we'll see

also say what you will about Marvel but I like that they

minor spoilers	+
don't feel ashamed to do shit like dress up Richard E. Grant in a chintzy Halloween costume and ask us to actually take him seriously 1x05 + And it...kinda worked! p cool death scene DC would never (...til James Gunn came along)

lol

finale

+

they didn't even try to give any kind of conclusion. Like sure this is apparently gonna be a multi-season show now so they can't resolve EVERYTHING but idk, it just felt so...flat Also the conundrum the Lokis were presented with was kind of fun but did they really need to restate it literally ten times in one scene. What WAS that! Like we fkin get it, they want to kill him but if they do bad things are gonna happen. WE GET IT!

decent ep/show tho, don't regret watching. Jonathan Majors was clearly having a good ol time here, probably the highlight of the series tbh. Definitely made up for how dour/boring they made Loki himself

Spoiler	+
character development is all well and good but having him almost be a straight-up hero off the bat was a bit MUCH. I was kinda expecting/hoping they'd build up to some unexpected double cross (even if it's done for heroic reasons), but...nope!

Spoiler + The big baddie timekeeper guy behind the curtain doesn’t seem like an evil villain to me. I don’t understand. Why is he considered evil? For real tho.

Spoiler	+
that's kinda the point, this was one of the most innocuous Kang variants out there. Now that they killed him they've unleashed the actual evil variants he was keeping at bay

looks p fun again

looks like Majors/Kang is gonna be a big part of this as expected which is kinda awk considering he might be replaced going forward, but he was the highlight of S1 so I'm not complaining
