Marvel Studios

That's the greenest key lime pie I've ever seen.

Also, "Everyone's gonna die! Oh hi, nice to meet you. Everyone's gonna die". OB continues to be gold in this show.

Hm, I think the second episode was a bit weaker than the first.

One thing I don't get, they pruned those extra branches. But aren't they just going to regrow again in time? I mean thats what happened when they killed He Who Remains, or not? He controlled the timeline by pruning, then he got killed, no pruning done, Multiverse comes back. What is different now?

I liked parts of this, but not the episode as a whole, I think.

The execution of how they jumped in mid-scene at the start didn't work for me. Like, I know what they were doing...but it didn't land when I was watching. It felt like a genuinely skipped scene, like they were airing episodes out of order. I feel that was a directing problem, as the individual acting from everyone was great, and I especially liked Loki being reminded he's a villain and mischief-maker. Hiddleston is wonderful as Loki.

However, I didn't feel the emotion I should have later on in the episode when the branches were being pruned. But that might have been a "me" thing, as I've noticed I don't get as much enjoyment from things as I used to. So I will defer to others here, and whether it "hit" for them.

I think over all, I liked a lot of little details, and I liked how it set up various things for later, and I liked the banter between Loki and Mobius, but the episode as a whole didn't gel as a narrative whole. I almost wonder if it was intended to be shown as a two-parter with the first episode.

There was a lot going on in this episode. Big ramifications. I felt they could have slowed down a but, given more details and explore more. Not a lot of setups. Big, quick jump from McD's to a fight to save billions. Look away for 2 seconds and you'd be very confused.

I thought this one was real weak. Really, really infuriating how none of the youtube reviews I've heard so far (that convienently drop minutes after the episode) mention the product placement. McDonalds must have shelled tf out, paid all these people off because it ruined the new season already for me. Far too much of the runtime felt like a ad. Also Loki and Mobius should kiss.

I didn’t fully get the knock knock joke…

I really liked this episode. Did you guys notice how tense some of the scenes in the first half of the episode felt, how long the camera remained on a shot and didnt cut that much? Gave me the vibe of british TV shows.

Seeing Loki doing villainous mischiefery was awesome.

I get why people want to see more of Silvie, but her role at this point of the show clearly needs to be mysterious and not on-board with the rest of the main cast. I didnt get what she was doing there at the end of the episode, was she using magic?

The ending of Ep1 to the start of this definitely feels like they cut a whole episode or at least parts of it. The General's storyline of pruning branches - which was quite obvious from Ep1 that she would do this - already being through that soon surprised me.

"It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me"

So, X-05...from the previous episode, I almost had the feeling that he was born within the TVA, and didn't actually have another life. And that the general woman might be his mother.

Like, if TVA personnel have kids together, might not those kids be outside the timelines? (Although I suppose if someone becomes a variant because they have a kid they "shouldn't" have had, both the mother and kid might have been grabbed by the TVA. And someone who'd GROWN UP as a hunter might end up a good one, as X-05 was said to be.) But I don't know if there's some detail I missed about X-05 where we were told for sure he was actually a pruned variant, so maybe this thought I have where he was born in the TVA has already been proven false.

Speaking of variants--do you think the reason Mobius is in the TVA, and is so familiar with Lokis, and doesn't want to know his other life, is because he had a run-in with Loki that put him in the TVA? I mean, his name is Mobius. It wouldn't be surprising if there's some weird loops going on here with him.

I'm enjoying the show but just like most marvel story lines lately everything is going so quickly. While I dough General Dox plan is over the jump from getting Sylvie to storming General Sox base seemed like whiplash. I would like time to explore some of these situations more.

THE Ws WITH THIS SHOW NEVER END

Definitely not as good as the first episode, maybe a 6/10.

Brad had way too much screentime when it should have been Sylvie. The whole Dr Who time travel thing wasnt really expanded, they just dropped by the 80s for a few mins.

Seems like they were filling time again and so early in the season
