Have really enjoyed the Loki series. Yes, it is less action-oriented than FAWS but the story is much better. And episode 4 was great, IMO.
did anyone else get Last Jedi vibes from the team up battle at the end? Loki and Sylvie start fighting together, mysterious big baddie gets unceremoniously killed off and they discover that it’s actually all a ruse for something more sinister…
Maybe I’m looking too much into it.
I can see the parallel, but unlike Last Jedi, Loki has been hinting that the TVA is not above board the entire series.
Episode 4 was a great return to form from the lackluster ep 3. Episode 3 felt like a glorified Dr Who episode, and not one of the good ones. No furthering the plot, no character development. Neither Sylvie or Loki felt mischievous. The latest episode checks all those boxes and what a tease at the mid credits!
I do wonder what the mid-credit scene means for Mobius.
I think you're looking into it way too much. We didn't know the end of TLJ was a ruse until the next one came out, and it probably wasn't Rian's thought that it was a ruse. This one told us right away.
It's no secret I've been pretty down on here about the Loki series, ESPECIALLY after episode 3. I thought that episode was terrible, boring and pointless. With that said, I'll admit episode 4 finally took a step back in the right direction for me. So, am I sold on this series now? No. However, at least it's got me back into being intrigued to see what is next. There is still only two episodes left and seemingly still a lot of story to finish out in a satisfactory manner, so we'll see I guess. I'm still skeptical but I try not to fully judge something until the end.
They'll probably leave us on the hook and impatiently waiting for season 2, so I'm not expecting too much to get wrapped up.
I was hoping for a big reveal this week based on a theory I've seen quite a few places
The theory was that Kang the Conqueror was one of the Timekeepers. And I thought it had merit because one of them looked just like him. With the reveal this week it's less likely, but he could be the one pulling the strings still. He's a time/dimension traveler so this is right up his alley.
Yes, plot wise it’s not identical but watch this scene and tell me you didn’t just watch this same sequence in the most recent episode:
I mean kind of. It's not like it's the first scene where two people team up to whip some faceless minions. Also Sylvie and Loki were aligned before that whereas Rey and Kylo weren't. I guess it literally didn't cross my mind and honestly I don't think it's thematically similar.
To your spoiler - We gotta stop doing this to ourselves. At first it was Mephisto or the Mutants in WandaVision. Then it was the Mutants in Falcon. Now we're doing this Kang stuff. These Marvel shows are like limited series comic events. You don't unleash your big bads in those limited series'. If there was a Human Torch TV show they aren't going to introduce Galactus in it. He'll be in the Fantastic 4 movie.
That said, I agree there are a lot more easter eggs right now for him than what was in the other shows and they've already cast the actor who will play him but I've got to see it before I believe it at this point.

The verrrrrrrrry most I see for such a thing would be someone reporting to him in an end-credit scene similar to the Thanos one after the first Avengers film.
I just looked up this Mephisto character, and for **** sake. That son of a ***** is the reason villains exist in the first place, isn’t he (it??)? Seems to have an influence on every major Marvel villain.

Officially a Disney Princess
Right. But wtf? How does this tie into in to the spiderverse? There’s a lot of parallels there with those other Spider-Man and those Loki’s like the lizard Loki and the Pig Spider-Man
