True we got this train wreck and we got Freeman’s version
Yeah, I'm getting sick of how they keep nerfing characters with Bucky and Loki being the best examples. Loki sure didn't seem like someone with a thousand years of fighting experience and trained in Asgard the epitome of warriordom, a guy who handed Cap his arse in Avengers taking two punches and a kick with barely a flinch, bulletproof and able to catch an arrow out of mid-air without even looking.
Villains turned protagonists in long running entertainment often become less powerful in the process. I remember it also being the case in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel for example. Spike routinely got his *** kicked once he stopped being a villain.

I wanted girl Loki to die by Loki stabbing her.
But Kangaroo had to be killed I get it.

I wanted Loki to stab her in the back while they kissed.
It's funny that for all her trust issues, she eventually was the Loki that betrayed the other Loki.

Honestly I'm not sure with these 6 to 9 episode Streaming shows (including Mandalorian). Now that I have seen four (3 Marvel and 1 SW) if given the choice of having them or not.......I might choose "Not'!! I'm still down with "The BAD BATCH"
The TVA took your time away and never gave it back.

The finale didn't quite do it for me...
I like the overall show, but the finale was lacking IMHO, especially the villain. He was either miscast of had bad direction... I would have expected either a God-loke figure or someone dangerously deranged, but this didn't have any gravitas nor malevolence or danger, which robbed all the scenes with Loki and Sylvie of any true menace.
However, judging from the cliffhanger, the second season should be pretty interesting.

Wait hold on wasnt Loki always sort of weak? Like compared to thor he was weak and the avengers could only beat him with hulk. But he wasn’t like very powerful imo. But I understand why he got his *** kicked here. They had that thing around his neck
Marvel right now is good at kicking the can down the road. We'll do this and talk about this right now, but the next movie/show/appearance of said character will be awesome!
I think that was supposed to be the point though wasn't it? He was supposed to be the "good one", the one who had good intentions towards the universe. I think the whole focus there were the Lokis and what they would do and the whole cyclical nature of Loki and how they were destined to fail. They failed indeed.
Did anyone else feel... robbed, or something after watching the finale? I felt robbed of a full week of anticipation to a good end for a pretty good show. I know I shouldn't have been but I couldn't help it. But I found this finale to be very, very underwhelming. I felt hollow when it ended. "That's it?" I thought.
Of course there was the S2 announcement, but come on... it wasn't even a good cliffhanger. It just stopped. And I get it's a big set-up for Phase 4 and the new Spider-Man and Doctor Strange movies, but for these characters in this show it just stopped.
I get it, but come on, just one minute of extra time could've set things up so much better. I'm not even too excited for Season 2 right now. Most of all because it'll take a long *** time before we'll get that. Unless they secretly filmed half of it already. I read somewhere that the season might have been cut in two parts instead of one big 12 ep season, due to COVID, but not sure.
Anyway... yeah... Not the ending I hoped for.

Everything felt rushed after Sylvie stabbed Kang. No slight tease of what happened to her. No slight tease of what Renslayer is doing. Just a fraction of time showing that Mobius doesn't recognise Loki and it's probably a different timeline he's transported to...

The 2 Mando seasons > MCU 3 shows
However I wasn’t expecting evil Kang so i’m not upset that he was flacid.

But where this show ultimately fails is the whole concept of the TVA is a useless plot device that makes absolutely no sense it’s not even needed.
BUT unlike the other two it ultimately stuck the landing so I’ll give it that.

As I understood it, the TVA is to keep peace amongst the multiverse/timelines so there isn't another multiverse war. I was assuming he was alluding to his other Kangs in other verses that are ready to disrupt BETWEEN multiverses. Not sure why messing within your verse's timeline messes with another verse. Not sure if the show explained any of that I don't have D+.
