Loved the first episode. Gilliam is correct, but I also thought of Good Place.

Episode 2 of Loki…. Set designs were fantastic, full on Kubrick on this one, and the end twist sent me straight to Reddit to see what it meant. Tom Hiddleston probably demanded that one scene so he could flash his Eton latin.

I bought two tickets (the other’s for my wife) to see Black Widow IN THE CINEMA. 🥳

Just six episodes of Loki, and they throw this filler at us in the form of the 3rd episode?

I’m yet to watch it….loved episodes 1,2.

Thought ep 3 was a little lacklustre compared to the first 2.

I enjoyed ep 3. Odd episode but I wouldn’t call it filler.

It’s a bit on the nose calling one of the main characters Mobius and having the whole thing look like a Mobius book. I’m sure it’s some sort of homage, but it’s got all the subtlety of a kick in the nuts. I’m sure lots of sci-fi has done the time police thing before too, but it feels like a proper steal from Jasper Fford. Still better than most of the films so far.

I love the look of it, especially their offices. Got a really kitsch 70s style to it

I take it back Ep3 was like something from Dr. Who.

    Amps Exactly what I said to my boy.

    The whole series is like Dr Who.

      Dan First two where okay, looked like it might be off somewhere interesting and then… resort to standard shiz. How the fuck have they not signed up Lynch as a writer / director / creative for one of these yet?

        Amps Lynch wouldn’t touch Disney with a barge pole.

        Hiddleston is also producing it.

        My kids love so it’s worth £6 a month.

        Hiddlestone has said that episodes 4 & 5 are his favorites, so I hope they explain episode 3.

        In every series you look get that naff filler. Same happened on the Mandalorian.

        Amps How the fuck have they not signed up Lynch as a writer / director / creative for one of these yet?

        Because he is probably the only remaining artist with class/self respect?

        Ep4 is very good. Possibly the best yet.

          Yeah, knew it was coming. Did he land on battleworld?

          Dunno, those were all Lokis. I would love Secret Wars at some point, it’s easily my favorite Marvel-book. The first one from the 80s I mean. They can never do that though, even with half the characters.

            Homegrove isn’t Secret Wars going to be Avengers ⅚? That’s what the cosmic and earth based MCU building towards.

              erik maybe the new one? Where Doom is a god. Well he is also in the old one too. 😅

              • erik replied to this.

                Homegrove I expect we’ll see Doom before long. I think Kang will be the lead up to the next big bad.

                Loki Episode 5 was full of easter eggs. Didn’t spot one, but Reddit was very helpful.

                • erik replied to this.

                  Homegrove spotted loads on the first watch. Going in for the 2nd now

                  Going all in this afternoon, booked at the Everyman in kings cross 😎

                  Half expecting Tom Baker to turn up in Loki….it’s gone full Dr Who 🙄

                  Fuck all you people who have done this to movies.

                  Just hit play on Disney + #blackwidow
