- Be civil. Disagreements happen. Don't attack others. Take a moment and reconsider before you post an inflammatory comment in all caps.
- No spam. Please don't post spam, trolling or other low effort content. If you're a human and you saw something interesting or had an interesting thought, you're probably fine.

- If you're making a post put "(Spoilers)" at the start of your post.
- If your post is an image mark it as NSFW.
- If you're making a comment use the Lemmy spoilers markdown.
When should something no longer be considered a spoiler? In general use your best judgement. If want something more specific,
- For films, wait until it's been released to streaming for at least a few weeks.
- For TV shows, consider the whole season as a spoiler until the last episode of the season has aired, then wait a few weeks.

Th...that would have been amazing. And it would have totally worked. I have been robbed ๐ญ
Sylvie is more in control than he is, but that really isn't amounting to all that much. You could say Loki's intervention has thrown a wrench in every plan, but uncertainty is still her entire sphere. The one good thing to come out of it was watching them try and fail to trick each other. This was one of the things I most enjoyed and it really didn't go on as much or as long as it should have because the writers needed to ship them in a manner that didn't have to be as obvious as they wanted it.
Two Lokis feels like a definite case for a slow burn. Nothing so attractive as a whole season spent unable to outwit or outperform yourself, which would build more of a semi-respectful rivalry of the two, but they made it obvious 2-3 episodes in. It's not awful, but it's heavyhanded.
To be honest I still find their whole romantic situation a bit weird. Not just that they're variants of each other and so are probably genetically related, but also that I didn't think Loki really needed to get into a relationship in the first place.
It's almost hard to remember why I actually liked the show at this point. I do think Tom Hiddleston is a good actor who does a good job putting himself into the role, which is one of the most important things about a show for me; some of these shows you can tell the actors are phoning it in and it kills the vibe. But the more I think about the writing choices the more I find them... questionable.
I'm hoping that they'll learn from the reactions to the more recent shows and movies, and put less effort into setting up a Kang war or whatever and just have Loki do more Loki stuff.
