Last night's finale of Loki season 2 was really good. It was appropriately epic and, while I think it fell short of being truly satisfying, it was certainly better than the first season.

WELL. GOSH. THAT WAS CERTAINLY A FINALE. I still don't know how I feel about it but I had to watch it all over again immediately. That final sequence is maybe one of the most beautiful I've ever seen in the MCU, I was dying to see it on a big screen. But OMG! Was that a smile at the end, or not? Is he happy? What do you all think?

It was certainly amazing!

Once again I'm so sorry this is late! The covid vaccine apparently touched off an inflammatory condition I have, and I was pretty miserable the past two weeks. Then the flu vaccine also kicked my ass. Still better than a trip to the hospital!

( I don't want to be alone. )

In conclusion: pie.

Last night's Loki was the weakest of season two, being essentially filler. It also had one very weak point in the writing but, on the whole, I enjoyed it.

I'm really sorry this is so late, but I've been pretty sick, and it looks like that will continue through this Wednesday too ,ugh. But here is your late and Halloween-skeletal Loki general reaction post! /o\

Last night's Loki was pure Doctor Who, in a very good way. People were already comparing Loki to Doctor Who in season one, but this season the show's gone from being an imitation to something that really shares the spirit. The end of the episode could've had that descending, synthesiser sound Doctor Who episodes have ended with since the '70s.

If Disney weren't always looking to cut corners on writing staff (and everything else involving personnel) maybe they'd have tried to get Steven Moffat to write Loki. Imagine how brilliant that would've been. But I guess this explains why Feige went after Rick and Morty writers, which is essentially a Doctor Who cartoon.

This season of Loki is just plain good. Episode three aired last night and it was as fun as the first two. It has dark moments and real character conflict but mostly it's pure candy. It has no heavy handed political messaging, no awkward, corporate mandated, representation zombies. It's just the thrill of a chase through time.

I am having a pretty strong reaction (geddit?) to the new Moderna SPIKEVAXX, whoo, so unfortunately I don't have any reactions much beyond "Ravonna looks hot in that outfit" and "His butler! //coughlaughing" If you're a Miss Minutes (or Tara Strong!) fan we learn a lot more about her in this episode, too.

As a content warning: ( spoiler )

Finally, there's a nice Easter Egg: the ship in one scene is named The Herron, presumably a tribute to Kate Herron, the director for season one, who's since moved on. I'm sure there are more but I wasn't in great shape to notice them! Did anyone notice any other ones?

Loki season two, episode two: what a pleasant evening of television. Sure, it has its flaws but I was completely absorbed in the story. After a long day's work, I made dinner and sat in front of the computer and was transported to the world of the TVA and Loki and Mobius. There are many ways movies or TV shows can be great, and this is certainly one of them.

Since we're getting NEW LOKI TOMORROW OMG OMG -- ahem. Since Loki S2 is just starting up, and people are probably going to notice callbacks to S1 and similar things, maybe this could be a kind of catchall post for that? Not recaps or even reaction posts so much as, IDK, a JetSki reference count, heh. I'll throw out some ideas in the comments. (And apologies if this doesn't fit the idea of the comm, I just thought it might be fun! Mod please feel free to delete or ask me to if this isn't wanted.)

Hooray, a Disney+ show that doesn't suck. Not so far anyway. The first episode of Loki season 2 is not only better than the recent Marvel and Star Wars content, it's better than Loki season 1.

I'm gonna rec this fic that I beta read for. It's an utterly hilarious and sweet comedy with lots of funny hijinks.

Title: We Are An Unusual Couple
Author: EmptyIceCreamCo
Fandom: MCU – WandaVision & Loki TV
Relationship/Character: Wanda Maximoff/Vision, Loki/Sylvie (Loki TV)
Rating: Teen
Length: 4,158 words, 1/1 chapter
Notes: Spoilers for Loki season 1 finale
Summary: Vision has a lovely anniversary dinner all planned out for Wanda at the fanciest restaurant in town. They deserve it, after all they’ve been through. Unfortunately, Loki and Sylvie have arranged for a date at the same restaurant, and circumstances conspire that both pairs are stuck at the same table. Now, the two most unusual couples in the MCU must attempt to appear normal to each other through one very stressful overpriced dinner.

Loki season one concluded last night with an episode written by showrunner Michael Waldron and Eric Martin. The writing's not perfect but it's a cut well above the four episodes between the first (also written by Waldron) and this. In fact, most of the problems with the finale are attributable to baggage from those middle episodes. But not so much that I couldn't enjoy the terrific looking locations and what turned out to be a pretty good finale villain.

Last night's new Loki wasn't so bad but it left me with the distinct impression that the series never had much of a road map or a strong, guiding creative vision. No episode really feels like it builds on what the previous episode set up. One point of consistency, though, is the preponderance of Rick and Morty writers and last night brought another one, Tom Kauffman. His filmography as a writer at least seems to be a bit bigger than that of the other writers. In addition to Rick and Morty, he's racked up a long list of comedic short films and TV series. I hadn't heard of any of them but I'm amused by the titles of Ikea Heights and Sex Teenagers.

A strangely dull Loki last night considering all that happened in it. Maybe I was too tired from a busy day, I don't know. It came from writer Eric Martin whose previous most prominent credit was writing a Lifetime movie called The Other Mother. Really, Disney? This is the best you can do? Martin also worked as an assistant on Rick and Morty so, along with showrunner Michael Waldron, who wrote an episode of Rick and Morty, it seems someone at Disney, maybe Kevin Feige, felt the MCU needed to move to a tone somewhat akin to that cartoon series. I haven't seen Rick and Morty but I feel like the odd plot problems on Loki do seem like they come from people trying to write a series drama who are too used to working entirely with cartoon logic.

Last night's decent new episode of Loki, "Lamentis", was written by the upcoming Ms. Marvel series headwriter, Bisha K. Ali. Prior to the episode, commentary on Ali has largely focused on her outspoken left-wing political beliefs and the fact that she deleted over five thousand of her tweets when she was hired by Marvel. Whether she intended it to be or not, though, last night's Loki was pretty light on politics.

Last night's new Loki, the second episode, didn't have any big moments as great as the first episode but the writing was more consistent in quality. It comes from first time writer Elissa Karasik whose previous credits include working as an assistant on Bones and Backstrom and appearing as an actress in a short film called First Handjob. I continue to be mystified by Disney's hiring process.
