Variety: ‘Loki’ Marks Biggest Marvel Series Premiere on Disney+

While I don't agree with this, I do wish they had taken the Sitcom concept farther before shattering the glass.
I'm pretty sure I "got" it. It's not Finnegan's Wake like. Just wasn't a big fan. Not here to yuck the yum of anyone who liked it.
Very strongly agree. Which is funny since Falcon & WS was my most anticipated when these shows got announced.
Loki is superior to both WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Solider (assuming it sticks the landing with this last episode).
I really had zero desire to rewatch a single minute of WandaVision or Falcon, but I've watched each Loki episode twice, and have watched certain sequences multiple times. It just feels more "Marvel-ly" than the other two shows, with better stakes, greater mystery, and better writing.
Sylvie is also amazing and I want to see her become a regular in the MCU.

The first Marvel comic I ever bought with my own money was a Sleepwalker comic. I'd be down.
COVID really fucked over FATWS (and WandaVision too, to a lesser extent).
Loki
Falcon
Wanda
I feel like when people praise WandaVision they have selective amnesia and completely forget all the inert Sword stuff. Falcon had a villain problem due to Covid but at least it was mostly consistent scene to scene.

No amnesia necessary, the time in the Hex was more than good enough to overlook it, shit was batshit in the best way (until Loki came along)
It's fantastic. Marvel's best series and a promising look after the growing pains of WV and FATWS
Ted Lasso is a WB production, based on a character from ads on NBC (Comcast), and released by Apple. Two streaming services got screwed out of that one, lol.

It's a close 2 and 3 for me. All the Westview stuff is awesome it's just all the Hayward SWORD camp stuff drags the show down.
All I know is that when a new Cap film is announced I'll probably rewatch FaTWS warts and all vs Wanda where I'll just watch the highlights.
Although I've liked all three of the MCU shows so far and am excited about the future of the new(ish) characters they've introduced in each show(Agatha and Scarlet Witch from WV, and Falcon Cap and The Agent from FATWS), Loki is by far the best show of the three.
Wandavision was great for most of it, but really flopped at the end. Hopefully Loki can stick the landing.

That's wild. And I actually think Hawkeye could be even bigger. An OG Avenger plus the addition of Hailee Steinfeld could end up being a big draw, and if the series carries the tone of Fraction's run; look out. I'm hoping all these lead into big time numbers for Ms. Marvel since she'll be the first one to not really have movie history to build off of unless Carol shows up in an early episode.
This is the first D+ show that I'm actually watching all the episodes the day they release instead of letting 2-3 build up because I'm so invested in it. It's been one of my favorite things to watch in a while.
MCU Loki is a far, far more popular character than MCU Hawkeye, original Avenger or not. I don't think anything announced will touch these numbers, but I wouldn't count out the possibility of Ms. Marvel surprising and exploding.
Yea I am sort of with you so far. I fell off after ep 2 and need to go back, but of the shows I'm kind of surprised how little I am engaged with it so far.
Correct Ranking.
Covid really screwed over FatWS. It's too bad we never got to see its true potential.
But ALL of these shows could have used 1-2 more eps. Hopefully Marvel listens to feedback and lets these series breath a bit more.
I agree with both the ranking and the need for a couple more episodes. I think Marvel may be intending to avoid episodes dragging on too long like some of the Marvel Netflix shows but I think they overcorrected. In my opinion, eight Loki-sized episodes would be a great middle ground.
Couldn't finish TFATWS and thought it was cringy and awfully written. But Loki? Wonderful from the first episode to the last, and can't wait for the finale.
WandaVision was alright, thought it dragged the story on for a little too long and really didn't go anywhere in the grand scheme of things, but it had some fun getting there with an interesting premise. Haven't watched FATWS since it looked pretty unappealing.
Loki is however fantastic, I cannot stress how surprised I have been with the quality of the writing and overall production values, it feels true to the character and it has a lot of fun telling it's convoluted parallel dimension story, it's really unlike the vast majority of TV shows out there.

There were rumours about her getting her own show so I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up happening.
They'll still cancel it because it doesn't have enough reach in a random country you never heard of.
