A few weeks back I realized something. Loki was the best MCU installment since Infinity War. Each week has confirmed that initial gut reaction to this rollercoaster of a magical ride.
Loki has always been one of my favorite Marvel characters but it is, ultimately, this show that has shown this character in such a powerful, profound way that I’m honestly quite moved, excited, and downright overjoyed for the potential of where this story can lead as a whole in this franchise.
Today’s episode was everything I expected from this series’ penultimate episode; it was funny, riveting, a little bit more romantic, and that ending had me staring at the screen with a wide-eyed smile.
I think what I’m most excited about with this show is the idea that maybe, for the first time with these Marvel series, we have a chance for the finale to actually be the best episode.
Loki has set up enough of a storyline where the end looks very grand and I. Am. HERE FOR IT!
Tomorrow, of course, I’ll delve deeper into the episode but for now, time for a rewatch.
I thank you for reading and I hope you have a great day.

Maybe I was too amped up by last week’s episode, but this one was a bit of a come down for me. Oh well. Maybe I’ll like it better when I rewatch it myself.

Last week was intense. But I think the slowdown of this episode will lead into a (hopefully) intense and thrilling finale.

Yeah. We’ll see. I hope they stick the landing.

I rewatched it. I’m still feeling it was a bit of a climb down, although the fatalism of the other Lokis — depressed self-doubt, really — stood out a little more to me this time. Their attitude that all they do is backstab and stand around making plans that ultimately come to nothing stood out a bit more to me this time. It probably doesn’t really account for such a drop off in the overall plot movement, but I suppose in a story about Loki, examining what makes him him by showing us his failed variants is maybe worthwhile. I’ll have to think on that.
