Marvel Studios' Loki |OT| See You Soon (All of Season 1 is on Disney+)
- Thread starter Neoxon
- Start date
- Entertainment Comics OT
Again a very enjoyable episode. Probably the best yet. It sits far above the other Marvel shows for me right now. I loved the Sylvie/Loki dynamics to the extent I didn't even miss Owen Wilson.
Please keep this up Marvel, been a while since you've been this good.

So it was pointed out on Reddit that the lighting in this scene echoes the colors of the bisexual flag:
That or they really pulled that reversing a collapsing building out of his ass.
Love Sylvie and Lokis dynamic. Another great character the TV MCU introduced that is stanworthy.
Also people calling this episode pointless and filler is really one of the dumbest takes.

Yeah for sure
Ridiculous! This episode was incredible and had a huge reveal in it
I wasnt a big fan of this episode, I think its because Im not really feeling the Sylvie character yet. Or maybe its because the dynamic between Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston was so great that an episode without it wouldnt be as good.
And the scenes where they were out in the "desert" looked so bad.

What the hell, that's really cool actually
Yeah, I was surprised by some of the takes in this thread after watching the episode. Sure people can dislike whatever, but filler...
Yea if we just had to take her word on it, then it'd be easy to remain unconvinced given her characterization
And yea I took lean towards everything being real, but we'll see.
I mean, she is telling the truth though, at least about the TVA, we saw it with our own eyes
Grr...

a beautiful moment
and maybe it's me but I absolutely loved that it was brought up nonchalantly in casual conversation
it actually took me a little bit for it to fully hit what had happened and I got lowkey (loki ayyy) emotional
lovely
Some people just don't want or can't see character progression I guess.
Both pacing and character development has been so tight I really don't know what some of those people expect.
Honestly, with how vague they are with Sylvie's backstory... I wouldn't be surprised if she's actually the Enchantress and the actual big bad is the real other alternate version of Loki.
loki and sylvie talking has been my favorite part of this series so far, not sure what everyone's mad about
My favorite part of shows are the connections and development of characters most often happening during conversations which is why Loki is my favorite MCU show (Wandavision good too, TFAWS bad). This episode continues that trend with Loki and Sylvie, I enjoy action but the dynamics between characters is why I love stories.
We could see Loki's hands, so it wasn't a Time Gem. He did that himself. We've seen Loki use telekinesis in the past, both in Thor 2 and Thor 3, so it's really not that surprising he'd be able to lift a collapsing building.
If he was just lifting it sure, but he like... rewound it. All the little fragments of rock put themselves back together. (I think???)
No, he just lifted the main part. It only looks like it's being "rewound" because he put it back from where it fell. You can very clearly see Loki's arms and hands and there are no green glyphs nor does he twist his arm the way you have to, as if turning a clock backwards. Loki crosses his arms to stop the building falling on him and Sylvie, then throws his arms down to push the building back.
There are no Infinity Gem shenanigans. Loki has moved past that sort of thing.
Been loving the show but overall wasn't a big fan of this ep unfortunately. Someone else called it bland and I agree. I don't mind slow character development episodes but this one just wasn't doing much for me. I didn't find myself very engaged or interested. Like TP-Dk mentioned, I think in general the dynamic between Loki and Sylvie isn't hitting for me (yet).
Anyways very interested to see what happens next ep.

WELL! Okay then. Still kinda felt like an atypical representation of his powers.
So it was pointed out on Reddit that the lighting in this scene echoes the colors of the bisexual flag:
Oh god I made the mistake of looking at the responses in the QTs. Do hetero men not know that Loki is bi in the comics or do they just feel the need to put down women and LGBTQ+ people always?
That's a good thing.
The MCU has never really properly explored Loki's magic, even as other magic users like Doctor Strange and the recently-crowned Scarlet Witch have grown exponentially more powerful.
Loki should be one of the most powerful wielders of magic in the universe because he is an Asgardian god taught by Frigga herself. It looks like this show might finally explore that. If Sylvie can enchant people so they do whatever she wants, then obviously Loki can do it too, and there is likely a massive depth to their magic that we haven't seen yet.
Rather than pass off whatever Loki does as an Infinity Gem stashed in his pocket, I want to see more of what a god can do with magic compared to mortals like Stephen Strange and Wanda Maximoff.
They probably missed the part where Loki shapeshifted into a mare and had sex with an eight legged horse to distract it from its job helping a giant build the wall around Asgard and ended up giving birth to three children. One was a snake so long it circled the world, the other was a wolf so strong that it kills Odin and the third was a girl so weird that Odin locked her away in the underworld and made her queen of it.
Loki has never been straight.

Marvel Studio's Loki |OT| Bi, weekly on Disney+
or something like it?
Others might come up with better stuff, but:
Marvel Studios' Loki |OT| Burdened with Glorious Pride (Wednesdays on Disney+)
Agree that it was the weakest episode so far and it ended on a very annoying cliffhanger. Wasn't a fan of Sophia Di Martino's acting either, thought she was way over acting, and it was sticking out like a sore thumb next to Tom Hiddleston's excellent acting.
I enjoyed the differences in Loki's and Sylvie's reactions at the very end of the episode. Sylvie's 180° "fuck this, I'm out" turn and walk away while Loki is just there with a "what now?" linger is a fun way to end the episode.
What could the Minutemen do if Loki had taken all the stones from that drawer and escaped where the stones would be active again? They can barely deal with Sylvie as it is. I guess something like that would force the Time Keepers to intervene themselves?
Lol two seconds into the crowd shouting "Let Us In" and realizing it had been a while since the last cut I realized they were foolishly attempting to do a Children of Men one-take. I mean there were one or two cool moments, but otherwise it fell flat despite me loving one-shots especially with one so clearly inspired by my favorite one.
Really meh episode. Mobius and Loki's interactions were sorely missed.

If they have that many infinity stones it means that they've caught people with infinity stones several times. Maybe there's a special team for those cases.
Loved the episode. Really glad they decided to focus on characters and conversation here.
Loki being bi is 10/10 stuff.

It's the most appropriate ship for Loki to be honest.

Oooooo, I like this one. Any other suggestions or should we go with this?
Yeah I enjoyed the irony of him seemingly taking an interest in himself XD
