Finally got caught up.  Episode 5 was the best IMO ... I would spend money to watch an alligator Loki movie or how frog Thor ended up in a glass jar (how did he wield the hammer?)...

 

This has been a fun series....wonder if Sylvie will be in future movies?  Wasn't sure about her until episode 5 but now....

Alligator Loki is hilarious!

I've been pleasantly surprised by Loki, deffo the best of the 3 cinematic universe spinoffs so far. I say this as someone who previously found Loki's character a bit annoying and mainly cringe.

 

- Wandavision was great but then it turned into

Spoiler

Hocus Pocus

towards the end.

 

- Falcon and The Winter Soldier felt too conventional, tried to stay too safe which is fine but a bit boring.

Well episode 4 was a step up imo.  The show works best when it's got the whole mystery plot going and you're wondering what's going on etc.   

If I can get into the plot, this is what makes a show great for me. Even shows where the writers have no idea what they're doing like LOST lol

I agree with everything you said!

Season finale wasn't bad, a ...

 

Spoiler

multiverse-busting finale

 

... didn't think it was great either.  Ended on a cliffhanger ... at least a Season 2 has been confirmed as seen in the end credits...

It seems like the events at the end of this are going to ripple through into the movies and other series.  Isn't the next phase of films going hard into the multiverse idea?

Yep.  The next Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has it right in the title name.  Spider-man: No Way Home supposedly is going to dabble in it as well.  It will be interesting to see how the Eternals plays into this.

 

What's also interesting in the series finale is

Spoiler

Did Loki get erased from the timelines?  Mobius and Hunter B-15 didn't know who he was.  Did Sylvie put Loki in another universes TVA?

Spoiler

From the final shot of the TVA building and the statue of Kang, I'd say he's either in a alternate timeline now or she tossed him into one of the multiverse.   I doubt he's been erased, that version of those two just don't know him yet.

 

The way I see this playing out is that each multiverse timeline has it's own version of the TVA and the "war" is down to who  can erase who's line etc.

Regarding the last few minutes...

 

Spoiler

It does confuse me how he was tossed into a different multiverse...he was sent back prior to Sylvie killing He Who Remains.

 

...of course, multiverses turn my brain into mush anyway.  Maybe he got dropped into alligator Loki's universe?  :)

As @George P said above, a different timeline which was already branching before his death.

I read an article today that said Tom is confirmed for a Loki roll in Multiverse of Madness so sounds promising that he'll return to the MCU big screen to stay (Y)

Jonathan Majors (Kang/He who remains) is also confirmed to be appearing in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania"

 

I liked his performance in the finale, looking forward to more from him.

I wasn't too big of a fan of his performance,  it was kind of annoying to me.  Guess I like it when the big bads are more serious and less, how do I put it, crazy/delusional.

The finale was a tad bit boring, but it did it's job moving everything forward.  I enjoyed it overall.

The only problem is with how long it'll be for season 2.  I don't have hopes for next year, maybe 2023?

since he's supposed to show up in the next Doctor Strange movie I'd guess season 2 will be sometime after that movie comes out and take place after. So I'd say 2023 is very plausible

One of the few shows I'll actually watch.   I didn't see Secret Invasion, or the show before this which I can't even remember.    Disney has really milked marvel and star wars into the ground for me.  It used to be a event when we got a new movie, specially for SW, but now, meh.

Don't bother with Secret Invasion... it's the first marvel project I found to be truly down right bad.  This looks way better though.

It's ok so far... there is just a lot of fluff, unfortunately.  I won't go into specifics at this point since I don't know who has seen what, but I think you'll get what I mean.  If you don't... think kitchen scene from Ep2.

    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
