Current Events > Loki Season 2 Episode 3 Topic *SPOILERS*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Comes out at 9 PM EST.

So far, so good.

I am -really- trying to see things from Sylvie's perspective but I just don't get it. She's bumming me out with her antagonistic viewpoint

I'm trying to figure out what bugged me about this episode.

I think it's the fact that Loki and Mobius really seemed kinda... ancillary? To the plot of the episode?

The plot is about Timely and Renslayer, with Miss Minutes as the weird wild card, and boy was that a weird cul-de-sac.

And like twice or maybe three times Loki and Mobius just show up where the plot is because that's when the script says they show up.

It's weird.

I'm loving this so far

Me during the Miss Minutes and Victor Timely scene near the end

best episode of the season so far.

Stark made some screwed up choices with his AIs, but he had the foresight to make sure they didn't fall in love with him.

Ok really enjoyed that. I knewHWR would have a backup plan but have no idea how this even works.

I cant imagine Kang actually comes from 1893

I think you can maybe tie it into her being a Loki. Even the Hiddleston Loki makes the claim at the end of season 1 that Sylvie cant trust, its what leads to their conflict because Loki cant be trusted (his own words).

It does seem like she is always a plot device and she cant be more than that.

I also dont get how she cant logic that if the timelines collapse thats bad for everything everywhere.

Oh sure!

I'm just saying I kinda laughed at every scene (I believe there were two), where the scene was "done", meaning that Loki and Mobius could now walk up or walk in and start moving the action elsewhere.

I liked this episode a lot. A nice little story with Mobius and Loki running around like idiots.

This was mostly an episode for Renslayer, Kang and Miss Minutes.

Also I'm not sure why there was a variant of Kang in 1868. I thought he's from the 30th century or some shit.

This felt more like HWR attempting a backup with himself, but the backup didn't really track.

No Way Home already showed that a variant of a person can be born before or after them. still, 19th century to 30th century is a pretty long gap. must be some shit exclusive to Kang.

Kang has a variant born in ancient Egypt named Rama Tut lol existing along the entire timeline (present, past and future) is his entire thing.

I was under the impression that he just goes back to those times to manipulate things. Like his whole thing is manipulating the timelines.

I wasn't aware he's just born randomly in different eras of different timelines. That doesn't even track because advanced future tech is his advantage. I thought Rama-Tut is just a Kang chilling in the past.

thanks to time shenanigans, kang could have taken young versions of himself and placed them around the sacred timeline, with contingency plans to push them towards being kang variants to put "himself" back into power. if they're put into relatively low tech times their genius would be hampered. timely was saying that his inventions would work if the tech of his time was better.

That's the impression I got.

I have to say, even though the projects that he appears in arent my favorite (loki s1, ant man quantumania....loki s2 i cant rate yet), johnathan majors is always the stand out. I have no idea if he will stick around due to off screen stuff but he did portray kang in fun ways even if the writing let him down in ant man

That was my main thought after the episode -- "Man, Majors is gonna make it hard to take him off"

For sure. Playing so many different versions of the same character and making them interesting in unique ways is not something just any actor could do.
