They're just very different things. Some people might like the down to earth espionage stuff while others prefer the cosmic stuff. Loki changes the whole direction of the MCU.

While he does want to get to the Time Keepers, I didn't get the impression he was acting weak. Especially when he's captured. It's laughable that just hours before, he caught Hawkeye's arrow, and then someone just clubs him in the face.

Was he Hulk-battered when he caught Hawkeye's arrow?

You're proving my point. He survives a thrashing from Hulk, injured but intact, so a regular person clubbing him should have absolutely no effect. Thanks!

Couldn't fall asleep last night so I put on the final episode of Loki and fast fwd to Kang's 30 minute speech. Drifted off 2 minutes into his rant and slept like a baby the whole night. Woke up this morning feeling great and threw away an entire bottle of melatonin I no longer need.

Oh. I didn't realize when someone's been beaten to within an inch of their life they're still at full strength. After all, accident victims never suffer the effects of concussions later or die from internal bleeding...

Your welcome for not thinking it over very much?

Also, the TVA also had a powers ‘dampeners’ that prevented Loki from using his powers. So, that could also play into him being weaker. Plus, they use infinity stones like paper weights.

He wasn't beaten within an inch of his life. He was fully conscious, and up and walking, soon afterward. A regular human hitting him would be a mosquito bite compared to Hulk smashing him into the concrete. If one could even land a hit, considering the Hawkeye thing I already stated. So thanks again, keep 'em coming!

Well he wasn't hit by a regular human with a regular weapon now was he?

Keep what coming? Your excuses?

Ive seen all of Wandavision and Loki and am willing to shell out cash for bootlegs. falcon and Winter Soldier wasn't my cup of tea...they can keep that.

The TVA agents are never shown to be enhanced. They are regular humans. So, not like getting hit by Cap (who Loki bested one-on-one), more like Black Widow.

Yes, the club slowed down time, or whatever. But it should have been Loki no-selling in slow motion, not going down like a jobber. *If* he even decided to take the hit, because he could have easily dodged.

Next!

I don't remember him outright saying they wouldn't, just that The Mandalorian didn't have one so that would probably be the pattern or something.

I want them but I'm not at all surprised. Disney doesn't release their shows even when they aren't made and streamed exclusively on their service.

The interview that I saw didn't mention Mandalorian, he was asked again later in a different video about the Marvel shows and he said they wouldn't. I'm not saying it's impossible.

Sorry, you lost. Own up to it and stop needlessly complaining like a chump.

You really aren’t familiar with the character are you?

I lost like Biden lost. So, not at all. Time to face reality.

You like the show, fine. That's subjective. But they pretty clearly nerfed an established character to fit the narrative. And that's just lazy.

I guess this is your Afghanistan.

And the bureau had captured numerous Lokis over the years. As pointed out they used Inifinity Stones as paperweights. So catching NYC 2012 Loki was cake.

Loki thought he was facing some chumps with sticks and, being Loki, he thought "let the ant hit me, I'll squish it afterwards".

In reality:
[Show spoiler]he was facing a force that had handled plenty of Loki variants who were armed with tech supplied by freakin' Kang the Conqueror. The stick not only slowed down time on the target but probably also applied extra force to the target (hence the "wavy face"). Kang is from the distant future and supplied tech to match. If Hawkeye's arrow could stun Loki, Kang tech could probably kill him if they intended to.
