One thing that did bother me though... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}...is the whole Infinity Stone gag. Infinity Stones missing from their timeline causes a major bad branch of reality. The TVA doesn’t like reality branching...so how are they cool with all of the crappy realities caused by those missing stones? {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}My understanding is that once the variant has been arrested they "reset" the timeline so it goes back to however it was before the variant got the stone. I need to watch it again and time travel/alt reality stuff is always confusing so I may have that wrong but that's how I took it.
I really really loved the first episode. Already more into this than the previous two MCU shows and I LOVED WandaVision. Very excited for how the rest of this plays out. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I told my wife I may have to watch this 1 or 2 more times just to make sure I get it. LOL |

So they recruit his past self to take out his future self? |

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Theory: The Loki our Loki is helping to catch is the future version of our Loki and this whole thing will be a stable time loop. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}This is my theory and that Mobius going against the sacred timeline is trying to break that loop by getting this Loki to not follow that same path. |

{Spoiler}While I'm probably reading too much into it, the fact that the stinger never actually showed "Bad" (I'll call him that for simplicities sake) Loki's face leads me to believe they might be throwing us a curveball on that. Maybe Lady Loki? |

Oh no I've gone crosseyed. |

Grant is playing an aged previously-displaced Loki, who also happens to be one of the founding Timekeepers. |

Off to a good start. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}And something for Agents of SHIELD anoraks, as the subject of Coulson's murder at Loki's hands is brought up and even shown. Not even a passing mention of Coulson surviving, but then, that'd defeat the logic of pointing out that the murder brought the Avengers together and would undermine the conversation Mobius was having with Loki {Spoiler}Of course, it's plausible that the events of AOS never happens in the timeline that TVA Loki hails from, so Owen Wilson is technically right |

Finally got around to see it. {Spoiler}That was dope. I’d heard kind of a mixed reaction. Wasn’t sure what to expect but definitely caught my interest: the direction, aesthetic, tone. Mostly serious and surreal with a bit of subdued humor. Just very..Loki. “What’s a fish?” cracked me up. Incredible chemistry between Hiddleston Owen Wilson too. A much stronger start than either Wandavision or TF&TWS in my book. |

Is this a show that, if you haven’t seen all of Loki’s movie appearances, you can still watch and get any good out of it? Or will you be completely lost?

Yeah, the Marvel Legends episodes have been great as character summaries and a smart way to get new viewers caught up. |

Jesus H. Christ...the amount of movie sites pushing the “Loki confirms Agents of Shield isn’t canon!” on social media today.
Loki killed him in what...the 24 hours before he ended up in the TVA’s grasp? Loki never knew he was saved...only Sif ever found out. There’s zero reason for Mobius to show Loki any of that...it would have defeated the purpose of what he was trying to do. “Hey...that guy you think you killed? He lived and died like 22 more times. Lolz...you suck.”
