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.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.

    • When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
