Haven't watched loki yet.
But have enjoyed the ragnarok on netflix. Norwegian series. loki is not sure if hes gay or gender fluid (hes a teenager just figuring things out and learning who his real dad is) and his mom is so supportive.

I feel like at least in the beginning of this, it seems to be harder for someone unfamiliar with at least the Thor and Avengers team MCU movies to fully get into it. This one feels a bit more indulgent and catering to the MCU fans moreso than the Wanda and F/TWS were. I am fine with it though. I like Easter eggs and nods to fans.

Fleurkin! Fleurkin! Fleurkin! Fleurkin!
I will watch all the things with Hiddleston. He's so great as Loki and I'm excited to see where it goes with the evil variant.

So weird seeing the stones as paper weights....heartbreaking. Also heartbreaking - Frigga, Odin, Thor. Thanos. Foresight given. The tape running out. Please let that be a flerkin! Time travel always gives me a headache. So, is Steve Rogers also a variant? Or was he always supposed to 'go back into time'? Since the whole time heist was also supposed to happen? Yes, everything links to Endgame for me somehow. Nice explanation of the TVA, though. And Moebius reminding us which Loki this is. Yep, can't wait to see Dr. Strange 2 and how it all links up. And the Eternals. Hiddleston is great. Owen Wilson is a great match. Marvel has the best casting people around IMO. Quite the cliffhanger - the episode went by quickly, even as necessary exposition. I wonder how the story works if someone isn't somewhat familiar with the MCU. I'm somewhat familiar with the MCU (meaning that I have seen all the movies and shows now, but haven't read comics or anything), and I was still pretty confused by the end of this episode, lolol. I think my attention span is also severely lacking right now, but still. I am glad I have you all here to help guide me.

I definitely think I should have rewatched the Thor movies to better understand what was happening. Which is funny because H just did that. He just rewatches all the Marvel movies over and over, so he probably understood better than I did, lol.

And even then I don’t know a lot of what I learn here from others who do the comics. I love the Thor movies though so those are definitely rewatched a lot around here.

The music at the ren fair sounds like it was taken straight out of sims medieval 😂
Ohhh is that tesseract activity with the commander? Does this Loki still have the tesseract?
Oh damn Loki looks good in a suit
The middle time keeper’s beard makes it look like magneto
Aaaahh it’s a lady Loki!! I neeeed to know where all those reset charges went!

Well, these cliffhangers are really doing what they're intended to do. Can't wait til next Wednesday.
I don't know anything about the TVA - but I don't like a lot of their minutemen guys. I suppose me liking them is irrelevant to their purpose. Go, Loki!?! Whatever you, any of you, are up to?

I enjoyed the Pompeii scene. Mobius being all, let's be subtle, and Loki just going for it. I'm all in on Lady Loki. I wonder what her endgame is. I think she was definitely waiting for them to come after her before setting off the chaos. And what Regular Loki's endgame is. He followed her. Is it to stop her or join her? Blargh. Can't wait til next week. And of course there is this. Credit goes to neottia-orchids on tumblr.

Great cliffhanger! Very excited to see what his plan is. And hers, to be fair!
Loki in Pompeii cracked me up. I read today that he studied Classics at Cambridge so apparently Hiddleston actually speaks Latin?

I’m surprised Loki bounced so quickly but am excited to see how it plays out.
It is a Lady Loki right? Mh is still hoping for a twist and that she will be the Enchantress. I don’t comic book so I have no idea what he’s taking about. But the TVA said it’s him and the energy signature matches Loki’s, right?

I love Loki’s Variant jacket but am surprised they didn’t put some kind of tracking/restraint back on him when taking him into the field. Rookie mistake. Although he would have 100% found a way around it.
I also love Professor Loki’s excited rambles about the different illusion techniques and his variant research. Kind of like Counselor Mode Sam. Nice little glimpses into the character.

Lakes, your husband may be on to something. Reports that credits in some countries are not what we might expect: 'Keen-eyed viewers who watched the foreign market credits discovered that Sophia Di Martino, whose role had been undisclosed up until now, is credited as "Sylvie", not "The Variant."' link

A second failed mission means bye bye Variant. But we'll have to see what he does next.

I loved the second episode. The Pompeii part was pure joyful Loki as was when he got his daggers back/taken away again and it made me so happy. I also really enjoyed all the “possessed” people in the store parroting his Loki mannerisms.
So if Natalie Portman was cast for the next movie as a female Thor, is the variant a female Loki then? I don’t know the female Thor comic storyline.

I don’t know the female Thor comic storyline. The female Thor storyline comes from the spell Odin put on the hammer. Whoever holds the hammer, be he worthy, would possess the power of Thor. So she is still Jane. She just has Thor's powers. As for Lady Loki, there's a few lines it could go. Loki is a shapeshifter. He's gender variant (lol to variant here) and sometimes may take up a female appearance. If this Lady Loki is really Sylvie though, she's a mortal that he created with his powers. She is his creation, and therefore a part of his magic. Thus making her signature the same as his, though she is a different person. Usually she takes the name Enchantress, like someone we've previously seen in Agents of SHIELD (though is not related to her at all).

Why do I keep thinking Jane as Thor has a sad storyline? I’ll have to google later. And of course the movies change things around quite a bit.

I really enjoyed this 2nd episode. I like Loki and Mobius's exchanges, they have good chemistry. I wasn't surprised that Loki followed female Loki (or Sylvie or whoever it is). He saw the writing on the wall of where he would end up if he stayed with the TVA, maybe.

Hm. I am not amused by the cliffhanger, marvel. Interesting to learn that TVA agents were not, in fact, created by the timekeepers and are all variants? So at one point Mobius was a variant. Timekeepers are either nefarious or merciful, depending on how this plays out. I just love Tom hiddleston. What a treasure. Somehow he manages to nail the Loki persona every time.

They certainly jammed a lot of information into a short episode. Depending on how much we can trust Sylvie and/or Loki, I guess. I did enjoy seeing Loki regain the daggers.
And, this show really knows how to do cliff hangers.

I liked the reveal that the TVA peeps are all variants. I feel like the jet skis will come back up as part of Mobius’s past.
I’m confused about who/what Loki thinks Sylvie is. But I will happily be confused for a Loki drinking song scene.

Did anyone else catch that Loki came out at bisexual? Pretty sure that's the first confirmed, openly LGBTQ+ member of the MCU to date.
I just love Loki so much, Tom Hiddleston does such a great job with the character.

After ragnarok didn’t Tessa Thompson and one of the producers confirm she was bi and that she would find a queen about the time everyone was joking about Thor Four:More Thor? My memory is, ah, not sharp so I could be misremembering. Edit unless you meant the first to be played out onscreen, in which case please ignore me 😅
