Is there an official thread to this? I searched and this was the only one to come up. Anyway... saw the first episode. It's off to a very strong start!

Off to a great start indeed!

I cant even be bothered watching this. Really just not feeling the MCU anymore.

 

[a-dev]

Gotta watch Loki. Though I saw on twitter that it's already done something that'll piss us off....apparently.

And what’s that?

No spoilers please.

 

[e30ernest]

Do spoiler tags work here?

Spoiler:

Edit: It does!

I'd like to know what rumor would piss people off a-dev. I watched it and didn't catch it.

 

[Asta]

It started off all right, like a cheesy Kafkaesque bureaucratic comedy.

Well I don't know if this is what was being referred to as the thing that will piss people off but it could be

Spoiler:

Apparently there's a scene that trivializes and makes fun of the Infinity Stones - the major macguffin of the MCU up to this point - as ''paper weights''

I have no idea of the context or who's saying what and why so I'm reserving judgment

Spoiler:

If it's the bit about them having no power in the Time Variance Authority, then it doesn't seem like anything has any power there as it only obeys its own laws.

Ah I know what that is. Yes wait until you watch.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Thanks for the tags all.

 

[Asta]

The context is:

Spoiler:

One of the petty TVA bureaucrats has a drawer full of Infinity Stones, and he tells Loki they've "got a lot of those, some of the guys use them as paper weights."

It's really just part of the Kafaesque absurdity of the place.

 

[Neal136]

Yeah ... if that pisses people off, then they're either not paying attention or just looking for **** to complain about.
So, yup. I'm sure that's exactly what it will do.
This episode was definitely exposition-heavy (which I expected going in), but I could watch Hiddleston and Wilson together all day.

 

[chrisstbh]

Well its either gotta be that or the whole Loki being sex/gender fluid, which shouldn’t be an issue for anyone that knows about Norse Mythology and the character of Loki.

I'm sure people will find ways to get offended out of anything.

 

[Khev]

As far as I'm concerned Marvel is 0 for 2 with their streaming shows so if this one is already getting a slow start yeah I think I'll pass and *maybe* binge the whole thing if people here say that it's great *and* actually sticks the landing. Otherwise I'm fine just ignoring all the new Marvel stuff.

 

[e30ernest]

For me it's 1 -1. I liked WV and did not like TFAWS. Of the shows though, it's this, WV and What If I were looking forward to the most, so I'd rather watch it and form my own opinions than wait.

 

[jye4ever]

Absolutely freaking spectacular blows away the other two shows.

The 2 of them were mesmerizing to watch freaking spectacular acting supported by spectacular writing!

Amazing start.
