That was a weird group.

I especially liked Hank and the inclusion of Hope. It really helped pull everyone together.

The Bucky introduction was great, I thought we were getting the Red Guardian but Winter Soldier was a great choice. I now have to wonder if they ever work together.

I'm not sure where this season is going in terms of overarching story, but I hope we see this group again.

Wasn't sure what to expect when I saw it was 1988. I turned to my wife and was like "OK, wait, so who's around in '88? Thor and..." And Thor wasn't even the first to show up!

[–] MimicJar 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thor must be difficult to write for since he has to remain generally immature over such a long period of time. In Loki season 1 we got to see some of his Earth antics, hopefully we see more Thor (and Loki) just being "kids" on Earth. Sorta like what we saw in season 1 of what if, but more subtle.

This 1988 Thor is a little different since, (spoiler) he only shows up on Earth after the other 8 realms are already destroyed.

[–] MimicJar 2 points 1 year ago

True, but we don't really see that in this episode.

Also if all other 8 realms are destroyed... What about Odin? Shouldn't Thor behave a little differently? He had a Thor 1 vibe here. Also did Peter destroy 8 realms, at least some of those vs and defeating Thor?
