They better get to like him, since he's one of the main baddies in the next phase.

I think the problem is that he was introduced in the last episode, and a lot of people don't like when you have this big buildup, and  then the main bad guy only shows up in the last episode.

ehhhhhhhhhhh, maybe not now, eh?

Like I said in the MCU thread last month, Michael B. Jordan.  Bring in an alternate universe Killmonger, make him the main baddie, problem solved.

Game of Thrones was usually about that long. That's the typical turnaround for anything that's not a sitcom. 

I mean, it wasn't always.  Previously even 1-hour shows would deliver 24-30 episodes between September and May, and then turn around and do it again the next September.  This was true even for heavy SFX shows like Star Trek TNG and others.

I guess it's okay with some people, but I've definitely lost interest in various series that deliver only 10 episodes and then take a 2-year break.  I get to the "why bother" stage more quickly with each passing year.

I’m assuming they see the success of doing Ahsoka in prime time the night before as a blueprint for the big shows 

I assumed it had something to do with "Taylorxicsm" in that the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie release forced Exorcism to change their date to the 6th which maybe trickles to Loki moving a day. Even the Attention Economy has (intangible) supply chain issues, I guess.

Your attempt to be some pop culture ChatGPT is getting so old. 

We need to send an EMP to his house so he'll stop worrying so much about the culture. 

I'm assuming it's because Ahsoka showed they could build buzz and have a figure to show advertisers similar to a live show over traditional means of delivery. Plus, it's dumb to drop shows at midnight to early AM. Some asshole is going to spoil it on Twitter. Now it can be a more communal event.

Bringing back what is basically prime time via streaming. A smart idea. Apple drops their shows the night before as well. Just makes sense to build buzz

Enjoyed episode one, but it’s getting hard for me to follow all this multi-timeline stuff.

Same. Hurts my brain

Yep, solid, OB was a good addition to the crew. 

Stick around for the scene in the credits.

Yeah thought it was great. The side eye from B15 when X5 and Lysa Arryn were doing that weird embrace was my reaction exactly

Finally saw the new episode and it made me think of a question I’m sure a nerd has an answer for.

If the new timelines branch off after He Who Remains was killed by Sylvie, why would there be Kangs in those branches? If it doesn’t matter, isn’t an equal or worse threat that there are now an infinite number of Thanos variants?

Unless his defeat is…inevitable

Me about five minutes into episode 2: "Did I miss an episode? Or a season?". 

Yeah, same here.

We're supposed to understand that Lysa Arryn sent that dude on a mission to find Sylvie (shown last episode), but instead of retrieving her he became a movie star. But absolutely no clues from the show. How about a scene setting all that up? 

And why is Sylvie all of a sudden mad at Loki? They left each other on good terms. Is it because he's working with the TVA? You know other shows would have a 3 second scene of her finding out somehow and then frowning or showing displeasure. Again, no set up.

And they're doing fuck all about making us care about any of this.

That was a fun one.  Mrs minutes as crazy love struck stalker is simultaneously amusing and creepy. I liked the spin on the standard Loki / Kang / Asgardian music with the 1800s style.

??  She kicked him through a time door so she could kill the The One Who Remains.

Here's the scene. I'm not seeing anything that Loki does that merits her being so incredibly angry with him. They had a disagreement, she got her way. If anything, he should be mad at her.

He tried to stop her from killing the person that destroyed her life and was (in her eyes…and reality) enslaving all of the beings in the universe and destroying their free will.

At the “end of time”, He Who Remains sees all possible outcomes and tells the TVA which alternate universe branches to “prune” before they can become a threat to his preferred timeline. When Sylvia kills him, nobody is pruning those branches in the past any more, and hundreds, thousands, or infinite branches with alternate Kangs will initiate. 
 

Every reality has a version of Thanos. Any version of him that wins was likely pruned previously, or maybe he always loses.

So basically Loki is a husband.

Miss Minutes is so creepy. Creepy AI.

Was watching with my kids when she got kind horny with Kang last week. One goes “He’s about to be seduced by a clock!” I said “nah, he won’t like her. She’s all hands”. They looked at me like I had 2 heads. Heh.

I'm really enjoying this season. It's enough of a multiverse deal to be good but not over the top on it. I'm getting a little tired already of the multiverse. Anyone notice Timely got spaghettied like Reed Richards did in Dr. Strange 2?

Yeah I'm not sure if that was intentional, but I'm sure it was intentionality like how some of the antmen got spaghetti-fied in quantumania
