Just watched out. I want to see more of the bad side of Loki and him using his powers. I loved his role in the first Avengers movie. Need to see more of that.
It will be nice if he brought the Chitauri and used them against Dox and the other Time Staff lol who don't listen to him lol. Also maybe to defeat Kang as well.

Finally, all caught up and ready for tonight's Episode 3 LIVE watch party at 9pm EST. My new TV arrived earlier this week and I re-watched and binged all previous LOKI episodes. Plus, I watched ANT-MAN 3 in IMAX Enhanced format. So bring on Kang the Conqueor ASAP!

I was away in Cuba for a couple of weeks, and just caught up.
What are folks thinking?
Definitely doesn't seem as tight as s1.
I find I'm less intrigued, and more annoyed.
Loki himself just seems way too neutered.
It's like he's just kindof around, and more is going on with other characters.
I'm guessing the next episode has potential to offer something fresh, so fingers crossed.
Biggest dissapointment is Sophie.

I watch this series and I am lost. I can't get into it, I can't follow what on earth is going on. I just have no interest. I want to try and like it, but I can't. I guess its just me.

^ I've only been doing the live watch parties at 9pm EST on Thursdays. No repeat viewings for Season 2 with only 2 episodes left. When the season is finished, I will probably binge watch both seasons which is only 12 episodes in total.

Not just you - wifey was somewhat ok to go thru Loki S1 but S2 - no can do.
She falls asleep and very disinterested so we are now watching Midnight Mass!
I'll have to find time to watch this on my own.....

This pretty much nails what the problem many people are having MCU.
It has become too convoluted and confusing.
You have to watch everything (TV and movies) to follow along, and not everyone is into that.
It's way too bloated, and uses a predictable formulaic approach to storytelling.
Imagine what it would be like to watch the new Marvels movie if you never watched Wandavision or Ms. Marvel.
I'd say it is ok to supplement with TV shows, but movie watchers should not be forced to see the shows in order to follow along with the movies.

i didnt even enjoy S1, but was tolerable. This S2 isnt. The excitement of Loki being hunted is gone. Now it's supposed to be excitement of finding out what is happening, except it isnt exciting.

This latest episode was much more enjoyable.
It fleshed out some things we knew were the case, but didn't know much beyond that.
All while offering an interesting problem solving scenario.
Basically - much more interesting than running around the TVA flapping like a fish out of water.

Episode 5 was the first episode of Loki that I actually enjoyed.
Ke Huy Quan is good, but Jonathan Majors is awful in every scene.
Glad that there is only one episode left.

Still can’t get pass episode 1 of S2…. I was never a fan of Johnathan Majors, so I’d welcome a recast.

It's kind of meh. But I also did not love the first season. I love the concepts of multiple realities and time lines, but I dunno something about this show just lacks any spark.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that is not a fan of Major's overacting. Thought I was just being racist :p

Yeah I just gave up altogether. Kind of reminds me of Moon Knight, though I did give it a try to watch the very last episode.

The problem seems to be these shows do little of what we have come to expect from superhero movies and TV shows of the past. They also take a lot of liberties with the source material which irks long time readers like myself. Then, they seem to write too many messages into whatever they are producing rather than concentrate on a coherent story. So, no one calls them out for bad writing...until now apparently with the new Daredevil Born Again series which Kevin Feige was extremely displeased with apparently. We'll have to see what happens at that earnings call on Wednesday about the future of Marvel and Disney. I'd be a bit pissed if I was an investor seeing the stock go from $200USD a share when Endgame was king of the box office to today when it is trading at $83USD a share...

If you're gonna mention source material, what percentage of released comics do you think are above average?
"Bad Writing" is a cliche. I think "bad cohesion" is the bigger problem.
I'm not sure it is as easy peasy as we think it is to determine, in advance, what will suck.
Many ideas seem great whilst imagined - not so much after filming.
I don't think it is possible for superhero movies to continuously outperform.
Also, I think there is way too much BS with regards to what is spent for these movies/series.
Disney needs to accept that there will be projects that will not reach Endgame heights, and budget accordingly.

They really wasted so much of this season with nothing.
From the comics, Kang was never ever a big deal for me.
Knew who he was, but didn't really care.
Never had the gravitas like Thanos, or Doom.
I was intrigued by s1 Kang, felt meh with Ant-man, and really dissapointed with the portrayal of Timely.
Maybe a recast could save the character?
This season really needed much more time travelling arcs/missions.
