Rather than some crazy Owen Wilson theory I think we'll learn it applied to the Thanos kill and the TVA had no idea since it was an apocalypse.

But Thanos wasnt killed there? Its a good take, but maybe I personally am missing what you're talking about? If it unwraps like that, Ill be pleasantly surprised.

Thanos killing Loki, that's supposed to be the whole critical point of his future story that will make this variant act differently. He was allegedly killed along with all of the other asgardians who survived Surtur as the first apocalypse and then ran into Thanos for a second one. Loki reading the details of Ragnarok was also a Chekov's gun.

Spent a few minutes zapping through a few nerd channels where they spent time watching at like 1/10th speed to see everything.
She is listed on the file they give Loki to study as "Sylvie Laufreysdottir". My guess is she's not a Loki Variant. She's a Variant of Loki's twin sister, squirreled away to Earth, where she remained blissfully unaware of her pedigree until more recently. That explains her disliking to be mixed with her better known brother, and her remark about how "it's not always about you" (since she's definitively not her brother). Her persona is almost certainly based on Sylvie Lushton, but she's definitively of the same pedigree as Loki.

I’m enjoying Tom and Owen together, they have great chemistry but overall not sure about the show as a whole. There’s been too much time spent explaining the TVA, multiverse, time travel and other rules. I understand why it’s needed since it’s mostly new stuff, but hopefully explanations are done and we can actually tell the story now.
I think it will suffer the same fate as the other 2 shows so far…and that’s they are not meant to stand on their own really, their primary purpose is too setup phase 4. That has hurt both previous shows in my opinion, even though I enjoyed them. The real payoff for all 3 shows is really going to be in the movies.

yeah, the MCU makes some changes here and there like hela being thor's sister instead of loki's daughter. i'd guess they'd do something similar with sylvie not being directly created by loki. in mythology all the gods were related and it didn't necessarily mean much as far as power goes, but on the big screen, we just assume that if loki made sylvie he'd be more powerful than her, and they want to have her as an actual threat

It's crazy how decidedly average all of the Marvel related Disney + has been. You have a license to print money and make awesome shit and even this, while better than the two previous shows (at least so far) just isn't great. I'm not even arsed about the next episode really and am just hanging around because there is nothing else to watch.
3rd show, more big meeeeeeeh from me. So disappointing.....

It's also their first foray into TV with the MCU, at least I'm calling it that since I'd assume all three series were filmed around the same time. Favreau struck gold with the original Iron Man but the next few movies, while mediocre at worst and good at best, are all bottom of the MCU tier. The Incredible Hulk (yeah, we can't forget that exists), Iron Man 2, Thor, Cap 1? All bottom of the MCU barrel. Avengers was great, and then the next two were REAL stinkers in IM3 and Thor 2. Winter Soldier is where the MCU REALLY took off (IMO). That being said though they know what fuckin' works and I think they don't want to do anything too huge outside of the movies which is why there's a constant nagging feeling like they're holding back or going soft on the content.

Trying to make a 1.5 hour movie into an 8 hour long movie is just such a bad idea. Theres maybe 2 episodes per season that are good, the rest is all filler bullshit that drags on forever.

You're an idiot. Cap1 is fantastic. Thor 1 is mediocre iron man two is balls and hulk is a c minus.

I can't quite get there with this. I feel like Black Panther is definitely in the lower tier of MCU movies, but it has some moments and I mostly like Bozeman on screen while Larson just sucks and Captain Marvel has basically nothing going for it.

Thor 2 is just filler. It's not bad, I like it well enough but it's just filler with characters I like. They didn't have any clear direction for Thor at that point; it was just a way to get Hemsworth back on screen and get another Infinity stone in the MCU. Cap 1 isn't a great movie by cinematic standards but I will watch it every time its on; its one of my favorite "origin story" super hero movies. It's just so upbeat. I was not a fan of Evans as Cap when he was announced given his history as Human Torch but he made me a believer.

Gotta disagree, it was pretty shit. That's half the reason I assume we all loved Thor 3 so much is it was such a massive turnaround after his 2nd movie was just so blah. The massive jumps from Cap 1 to Cap 2 and Thor 2 to Thor 3 were insane.
