Loki

Well the choices are either bad writing or "good writing" acting like it is bad writing?

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that it never even occurred to me that he could be faking the damage, although I'm pretty sure he isn't and they turned him into a buffoon on purpose.

Maybe, although acting the part of the fool would be a good ruse. If you lower people’s expectations of you, they are less likely to expect something monumental from you

it all being him fucking around to try and get a read on Sylvie would be good and completely in character. well, at least the Loki we know. who knows with the 2020 and beyond writers.

Loki raising the giant stone pillar when it falls is a big red flag that something is wrong, since he's never really exhibited that kind of power before afaik

its either a (1) time or other infinity stone (2) the whole setup is an illusion inside sylvie (or lokis) mind or (3) the writers suck and don't care about who has what powers. we'll find out next episode!

unfortunately the previous D+ shows have conditioned me to think 3 is most likely

Im in the minority here, but I thought episode 3 was the best one so far. I enjoyed the bantering between the 2 Loki's.

Episode was fller shit only yhing useful in the eppisode was he now knows they are alll variants. Loki is actually strong so people throwing him around in the show is retarded

I enjoyed the last episode. Slightly torn on the borderline Yorkshire accent she had and it does make me wonder when you lot will ever accept Brits don't always have to play your villians.

I mean, it's been 245 years since you showed us the door, let it go already.

A British accent sounds fancy to the American ear. We hear it and automatically think they are high society.

Bullet Tooth Tony: A right fancy motherfucker who also knows french
Michael Peterson (Bronson): Probably the Queen's second cousin thrice removed
Al Swearengen: An obvious man of refined tastes

Swearengen didn't have a British accent. Though he was obviously a man of refined tastes.

Its just the most convenient shortcut. There isnt another accent that makes you want to punch a person in the face so strongly as that smarmy fancy-ass British one.

Ah right, the character was from England, but dropped the accent.

I was having a hard time thinking of a good bad guy, in an American production, with a British accent (since the other 2 were entirely UK productions). My first thought as a third pick, was Richard Roper (The Night Manager), but that character was an actually super rich high society guy, and it was another UK production.

I can think of a few, Andy Serkis, Ian McDiarmid, Mark Strong, Anthony Hopkins, Guy Pearce, Tom Hardy, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

I was going for the iconic characters, not the actors.

Andy Serkis played a villain with a British accent?
I guess McDiamrid playing Papls in the prequels had a accent, but I have a hard time hearing it when he becomes Emp.
Never seen Mark Strong in any iconic villain roll.
Hannibal Lector did come to mind, but he was depicted in the first movie (the only one I saw) as actually being a fancy pants doctor that just happened to like eating people.
Never seen Guy Pearce in any iconic villain roll.
Tom Hardy played Michael Peterson (Bronson), yarp.
The only villain I have seen Chiwetel Ejiofor play was the agent in Serenity, but yea, he was outstanding in that role.
