With nothing getting resolved? This some BS, who knows when season 2 will come out.

It was well produced and well acted, with probably the most intensive special effects from the tv shows so far, but still this some BS teasing and not resolving season 1.

The entire season was basically an end credit scene for future movies.

Yeah, I dont get the hype. But I cant deny the production value is fantastic and it probably has the best music in the MCU.

It struck me as a show that deserves to be standalone and not feel so rushed into setting up later movies.

I'm not, the last time something was set up, over a course of like 6 years no less, it ended up being horribly disappointing. My expectations are extremely measured. Haven't even caught up on any MCU movies because of it, but I just had to watch Loki because it's Loki.

Everyones perfectly fine with the romance yet its genetically disgusting. I think your actual sister might be less incestuous than that.

Hawkeye was the only of the Disney+ Marvel shows that was worth watching and it wasn't fantastic.

Definitely. Never has Owen Wilson + Loki worked like a dream. Makes me want even more people in the MCU as good as Mobius

I honestly don't think the show creators realized how much people actually would like Loki and Mobius, and the slow burn of his weird job at the tva. It just worked. So when the ending came around, it seemed like they expected us to get excited about the grander picture, but the truth is most fans of Loki were more interested in that show itself than they were in the grander implications it had on the marvel universe. So to me, the ending was a complete misfire.

Who is fine with it. Everyone I know thought it was disturbing but it was definitely in character for him. He's so narcissistic that of course he would want to fuck himself

Yeah, bud, that's kind of how non-miniseries television works.

The Lokis fight was gosh darned hilarious. Loki shaking his head and facepalming is my total mood

It was good, almost good enough to make me forget that this Loki just had a ton of development in the span of a couple of days, and is not the Loki we love that had the development of best movie Thor Ragnarok who should not have been killed in garbage movie Thanos 1/Avengers 3

This, and I'm not sure why people went into them expecting anything different. Granted, this doesn't put them beyond criticism - Wandavision, F&WS, and Loki all tripped at the finish line to varying degrees, among other things. But at their core, these shows are meant to be appetizers between feature films, while also helping boost D+ subscriptions.

Mobius reprimanding Loki for being so vain he "fell in love with himself" was funny, but then they doubled down on it in a grosser way and had them kiss and I was like "ew ew no" the entire time, have no idea why they insist on making it sexual when the characters and actors don't have that kind of chemistry. I did not get a romantic vibe at all, don't know why they pushed it

It just felt bizarrely unnecessary

It's a fresher take on the detective partners/ buddy cop formula, buddy time cop.

What is the deal with theme being this good. I just heard it in another video and got immediately hyped. It's the best soundtrack of the MCU for spookiness

Personally, I felt the season was a very solid chapter 1 of a story. The only thing that bums me out is that it will probably reach its finale in an Avengers movie, rather than the show itself.

As a general rule, I greatly prefer shows to movies for storytelling.

That ending definitely left a sour taste in my mouth as well. I also mistakenly went into it thinking it was a one-off mini-series, and that there were actual stakes but nah, not really. When Mobius was pruned I was legitimately shocked and sad thinking the show was wrapping up, one of the only times the MCU did that to me, but it turns it wasnt actually a big deal and he comes back the next episode. Everything just feels cheap when there arent any real stakes.

The He Who Remains scene was originally supposed to be the post credit scene, IIRC.
