I couldn't get through the first episode, but I'm not big into those characters to begin with.

Marvel fatigue is LETHAL!!!

I don't get Loki because the way his story ended in Infinity Wars/Endgame would have perfectly led into a Journey Into Mystery TV series (which is a storyline where Loki gets reincarnated as a child and has to grapple with the crimes he's committed as an adult). And then Journey Into Mystery could have turned into Loki: Agent of Asgard. We could have had Leah, Amora, Verity, Asgardian lore, traveling to different realms like Hel and Niffleheim.

Instead, we get this time travel buddy cop show which is so removed from the magic of the Thor/Loki stories in the comics. Like, they could replace Loki with just a regular Joe and do the exact same story.

Anyways, for as much as MCU bros want to deny it it really does feel like the beginning of the end for the Marvel BO domination that leasted a decade and a half. I'm sure certain properties like X-Men and Deadpool will still do well because they have huge established fanbases already.

Right!!! They put Kid Loki as an Easter egg or whatever that was supposed to be in season 1,making it practically impossible for him to be a focus later on. And there's like only 2 eps left in season 2 and they can finally use magic in the tva, what a waste.

yeah, it was such a disappointing concept. there was nothing that made Loki, Loki. anyone could have been the central character.
