Marvel Studios' Loki |OT| See You Soon (All of Season 1 is on Disney+)
- Thread starter Neoxon
- Start date
- Entertainment Comics OT
Someone could make something with "Bi-Frost Giant" work but I ain't that clever
This is Loki we're talking about. Would bet good money that the broken device was a illusion, and he has the real one on his person this whole time
So it was pointed out on Reddit that the lighting in this scene echoes the colors of the bisexual flag:
Oh wow, this is actually a really nice touch. Happy they did that
Which makes all of this even more insane to me. Homophobic cishet men are something else.
Looked like it from how that whole action sequence worked. Whenever they would pause and then pan the camera in a new direction, I imagined they were wheeling the practical set pieces away and pushing in new ones.
To people like that, the comics don't matter. Of course when the movies change the comics for inclusion and representation, suddenly the comics are iron-clad
Best episode yet. This might end up being my favorite of the MCU shows so far.
The long cut at the end was awesome. Definitely wasn't expecting that.
It's looking more and more like Sylvie is Enchantress unless that's a big red herring.

Can this post get threadmarked? Cuz it's right on the money.
Was curious enough to go check that scene again and to me it definitely looks like he rewound the building back to exactly its previous state, if you look at the bottom base part then all the pieces go back exactly as they were before it started to collapse.
There's a green flash when he uses his telekinetic abilties on the train in the previous fight scene, unrelated to the previous text but pointing out how inconsistent the effects are...on purpose or not.
He has never displayed that kind of telekinetic powers throughout all the movies and personally don't think it'd really suit him as a character to have such powerhouse telekinetic powers. Green glyphs and stuff and hand movements would be just something how Dr. Strange learned to use the stone's abilities, doesn't mean that's the only way to use the stone.
Definitely now think he has the time stone.
"Funny" how there are people on Twitter angry that they don't see the point of him being bi if it's not going to affect the plot. It's like... whoosh.
The inconsistent use of power threw me off. Like the last scene they could clearly clear a path to the shuttle, but instead their action was to serve the "one" take scene (in a small set stage). Run back to the starting point of the scene, because there's literally nothing beyond the set stage but CG ship.
Something with Bifrost written as Bi-Frost. Someone more eloquent than me could probably make up something snappy.
Alternatively, something with Rainbow Bridge.

I actually like this. Maybe
Marvel Studios' Loki |OT| Stay Bi-Frosty Wednesdays on Disney+
"Starring the OG rainbow Bi-Frost Giant"
Tried to pun on the Bifrost itself actually being rainbow and pride having the rainbow symbols, but it's a little clunky with the multiple puns in there for both the bridge and Loki being a Frost Giant. Maybe someone can refine it.
I figured Loki was a little competent from all of what we've seen from him in the MCU, but damn, he does nothing but fuck up basic stuff in this episode. How hard was it to not get drunk on a mission?
Also Loki's now the first confirmed bi MCU character. Cool.

Loki is like over a thousand years old right? I feel like he gets stumped too easily. He's a trickster! Glad they are showing his powers more though, but watching him do like martial battle on the train sucked. He's a god for crying out loud, just smoke these puny mortals.
Lots of people ship him with Darcy… despite him never sharing an interaction with her.
Has it ever been clear if Loki has super strength though? His strength seems to mostly be in the arcane arts.
I remember Cap standing his ground against him pretty well in the first Avengers movie.
You got it kind of wrong here.
Loki turned into a lady horse and banged a horse and gave birth to Slepnir, Odin's favorite horse with 8 legs he rides into battle.
The other 3 kids he was the father to, the mother was Angrboda, the mother of monsters.
I thought it was the worst episode of all the Marvel shows so far, and I really liked Wanda Vision. The visuals looked super cheap and fake, and most of the dialogue between Loki and Sylvia didn't ring right. The last 15 minutes was just awful, it looked like they were stuck in a laser tag escape room bouncing from wall to wall. A planet crashing into another planet would be full on fire in the skies hellscape and the air would be on fire and the winds would be tornado strengths and you wouldn't be able to walk or talk, it just makes no sense unless its all supposed to be a mind enchantment of Loki. I could also see Loki learning the lesson of enchantment and the entire episode is in Sylvie's head, and that was her planet or something.
For a show thats only 6 episodes, it was definitely odd to have such long scenes of them just staring at nothing. I don't mind taking a slow pause and letting characterization build, but I don't really feel any of the dialogue or scenes justified a slow pace this episode. Still look forward to the final 3 episodes though. I suspect episode 3 will be an episode that needs episode 4 to make sense of it and appreciate it.

It's kind of funny how Loki is effectively the first important LGBT+ character in the Disney canon and it was dropped in the middle of the episode with no fucking marketing thinkpieces designed to hype it up.
It's just part of the character. It's great.
This is what I want for LGBT+ characters. For their identity to exist but not be their entire character or designed for a company to go "oh hey look at us oh hey oh hey we did a thing"
The odds that that wasn't part of his overall plan on getting out of this situation are real low.

Yeah, WandaVision was notorious for this. Falcon less so, but this one definitely felt like a WandaVision episode in that it ended and I was like "WAIT NOT YET"

I actually fully expect this to be the case, the way Loki kept asking Sylvie certain questions reminded me of the way Sylvie herself got information out of the TVA agent, it would explain his ability to "rewind" the falling tower as well if he is in control of the created world in the same way Sylvie was and it would solidify that Loki is always a few steps ahead.
He seems to have a way higher grasp of magic than she does due to having more training so it would make sense he would pick up on her ability to enchant very quickly.
I couldn't shake the feeling that most of the episode was an enchantment. I'm trying to work out who did it. Obviously Loki wants to know how to do it, but I suspect this is his enchantment, and he's kind of picking it up as he goes. The goal of course, to learn about Sylvie's mission and the Timekeepers.
I think the tower falling at the end is the biggest hint that something is off. That, and the strange sequence on the train when she woke up.

That is a neat touch.
Besides being informational though, this episode felt kinda like filler.
