Well, that happened. WOW!

 

[Super Cake]

Interesting episode

So it looks like the pruned don't die but are teleported somewhere.

Leagues better than WandaVision, such is the power of being upfront with your conflict and plot ASAP. If you remove the 3rd episode this is basically just a movie padded into a television show. Two notes:

Spoiler

Not a fan of how quickly the Lokis concluded the animatronic fakeout meant the whole concept of the Timekeepers was BS as opposed to this being a decoy/fake out. Not that I mind the Timekeepers being BS (tbh it was kind of obvious, though I was erring toward them being dead), I don't like how immediately the Lokis jumped to that conclusion.

Also not a fan of the Tom Hiddleston death fakeout. I guess I'm tired of Marvel promising consequential things and then failing to deliver. The most impact Civil War had on the MCU narrative wise was Tony Stark's reluctance to phone Cap, so he had Banner do it. At least we didn't have to wait around to see if Tom Hiddleston had actually been killed off or not

Also the soundtrack is amazing, the tense and emotional stings are stuck in my head.

Regarding your spoiler, at this point you kind of have to expect that with Marvel unfortunately. And that probably won't change moving forward.

Loki cutting Sif’s hair and getting his ass kicked as a consequence actually happened in the Norse mythology

It's the same with DC. Superman's death, anyone?

I'm still hoping to get a flashback of Loki becoming a mare and...

Two wrongs don't make a right, lol. The guy I quoted referenced Marvel, so I responded to that.

 

[Power Man]

Also Richard E Grant in the classic Loki costume lol

And that young Loki kid is part of the Young Avengers in the comics, I wonder if Disney has plans for him

Very nice

So the villain at this point has to be Kang but there is something problematic about having 4 episodes in the show with 2 left with no mention of the villain. We did not see this in the previous two shows so that leads me back to this theory that a future Loki is the one behind it all which then makes even less sense. Surely the show can't be Loki vs Loki with a redemption ark but then another Loki?

I dunno I've loved it all so far but I think they're trying to fit a very ambitious storyline in here and doing it within 6 episodes will lead to a lot of clumsiness, some of which we already saw imo starting with this past episode.

Forgot Disney has the rights to Kang and Kodos now. Good thinking.

The groundwork for a Young Avengers series and/or movie does seem to be falling into place. The Enchantress (Sylvie) has dealings with them. We have a Hawkeye show coming up, and the Kate Bishop Hawkeye has been promised. And the Young Avengers comic nemesis? Kang the Conqueror.

Ravonna is the villain of the show. Kang may be introduced, but it’ll just be setting him up for future MCU action.

Kid Loki!

I'm surprised they still haven't announced plans for the Young Avengers after introducing so many already. Kid Loki, Stature, Wiccan, Speed and Patriot we've seen. Kate Bishop is coming in Hawkeye, America Chavez is coming in Dr. Strange and Kang leads to Iron Lad. Not to mention they could also include Ms. Marvel and Ironheart. Or even the new Vision. Who's left? Just Hulkling? Maybe he shows up in Secret Invasion or The Marvels.

Ya not sure which of the Loki's I liked more, Kid Loki or classic Loki or reptile Loki lol

Yep I think exactly this.


Ravonna will be the villain of the series and we'll get like a post credits scene after the series teasing Kang similar to how they teased Thanos after The Avengers.

Pretty much this. My guess is that the events of Loki will be the setup/motive for Kang stepping into he forefront where he'll be teased in the final episodes. While the MCU's shows are not key components of their storyline in comparison to the movie (allegedly), they provide some important character developments and will help explain some actions/motives in the movies.

My guess:

Spoiler

Ravonna is killed by the Loki's and as the TVA crumbles, this sets up Kang's motive to engage a war. Losing his love and control over the timeline sends Kang on a vengeful rampage to regain control on the multi-verse.
