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.

    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.
    • Hello mysterious lamborghiniv10, I was in Australia and... now I'm in the Netherlands. 
    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”
