It'll hopefully be less boring than Falcon and Winter Soldier.

Tom Hiddleston is my wife's "hall pass" (or whatever that term is) so I'm sure we'll be watching this, lol.
Loki is def one of my favorite MCU / MC characters so I'd be in regardless. If it's half as good as Wandavision I'm sure it will be a hit.

I find it unlucky that a show about Loki will be as “boring” as F&WS simply because it involves magic so there are more possibilities/less limitations for where it can go. They aren’t going to do a near street level show about Loki. Plus, he’s one of the funnier/better characters in the MCU. This is a sure fire hit.
I fully expect to be quoted by people who hate it

I wonder if he'll reckon with the death of his main timeline counterpart

Good to see this one is getting a longer runtime.

It’s worth finishing but I doubt you’ll see any of its impacts in Loki.

So far I really like it. Seems they have a good plan for his character post end game.

The ending makes Falcon worth watching. I am sure there will be at least a few references to it in Loki.

I was up late last night and caught the first episode. I really liked it. To put it into perspective, I was bored by Falcon and Winter Soldier, despite liking the latter character in the movies, and didn’t like Wandavision save for the neighbor.

I was watching one of those "anti-woke" youtubers bashing this episode. I like the guy, but he was trying so hard to be outraged I just couldn't stand it.
was it nerd rotic or the quartering dudes lol

Maybe check these guys out who go through a lot of problems Endgame created for the MCU.
Also brings up questions of free will now with everything that happened in the MCU movies when micro choices in your life could lead you to be melted away because the TVA have predetermined everything.

I don't think those people ever saw Rick and Morty. The melting thing fits with the humor from that show (the creator/head writer of this is from Rick and Morty).

Could very well be the case since so far since I haven't heard them mention Rick and Morty but I don't see how it addresses their criticisms of the TVA(authoritians, letting the snap and unsnap happen(same thing with the Eternals)).

I got more of a Dark City vibe from the TVA building, faux 60's shell masking high-tech futuristic technology.
Loved how they reset the power-levels of the MCU without giving a fuck, in the first episode! zero pussying about this being the start of the next phase.

Jesus, I have this issue somewhere. No wonder the TVA thing kept bugging me - It was in the very first FF comic book I ever bought!

Yea they're very very very closely connected to Kang the Conquerer.
Who has already been cast and will be in Ant-Man and The Wasp in Quantumania.

I'm curious to see what Gary (nerdrotic) has to say.

Yeah, the snap created a lot of problems for the MCU. But honestly, I'm not worried about things making sense. I just want to be entertained.

I feel like I an torturing myself when I watch Nerdrotic. Guess he has his audience he has to entertain though.
And I can't understand why the snap has caused problems.

Coz the MCU glosses over the choas an event like the snap would create over 5 years and the choas when it's undone. And that's ignoring the implications of being able to time travel now and how that messes with any major stakes that might pop up in the future.
They should've stuck to the comics where the snap was for a very brief period.
And Loki adds that it all was according to a TVA script.

Time travel in the MCU is not a get out of jail free card. Time traveling is going to another reality in the MCU, if someone dies you can't bring them back to life with time travel, they are dead forever. Unless they use the time stone, that's the only real way to bring someone back and no one cared when that was introduced in Doctor Strange. As for glossing over the chaos of the snap, the movie is already 3 hours long, there is no need to stuff the film with unneeded exposition. The story is about reversing the snap, the story is not about the chaos of the snap.
As for the TVA confirming that everyone's time line already being decided, it doesn't change for the audience, we don't know what the outcome is going to be for any specific event. We don't know what heroes will live or die.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if during this series they show a way in which people can break out of their TVA shackles and create their own future. The way Mobius talks to Loki suggests this with how he keeps questioning him about what he gets out of what he is doing, like he is trying to change Loki's thought process.

It's almost as if they left that five year period to be explored in the future in other ways...

Yea didn't like it.
Kinda takes the piss out of those avenger movies with the stones.
The whole time keepers, that are these overpowered beings far superior yet they wouldn't interfear with thanos lol.
Super far reached. Everything just feels like tacket on and tacky while at it.
Just felt like loki is pulling a dbz here on the story lines.
The only half decent actor in the first episode was owens, everything else was straight trash.
Won't be watching it further.

Doesn't really matter when there's infinite alternate universes, there's bound to be a character the same enough to replace the one that died like they did with Gamora.
I read a rumor about Black Widow having an after credit scene with a backshot of someone in the end game time suit.
So there should've been a movie/serie that took place during the 5 years of the snap showing how the world was trying to recover. I'm sure there could be interesting stories about that time period.
Doesn't really matter how this series concludes unless it all turns out to be some illusion by someone, the TVA are established to have have a hand in the flow of time up to now so that taints any MCU show up to this point.
It does solve all contrivences though.

Is that speculation of yours or have they announced a show that will revisit that time period? I would be pleasantly surprised if they did.

Don't know if it means anything or not, but signs in the background during the filming of Shang-Chi had the year 2020 on them. Could be old signs, or the movie could be set during the blip.
