Loki Theme V2 | EPIC GLORIOUS VERSION (Episode 2 End Credits) [feat. Daredevil Theme] - YouTube

The OST is out on Spotify and it's damn good. Natalie Holt did an amazing job!

I'm not sure what's going on with me....I usually just adore all the Marvel stuff (or at least the vast majority). But I'm just barely slogging through Loki. And I have zero interest in rewatching the other Marvel/Disney+ shows. Once was more than enough.

I hate to think that the 20+ film Endgame arc is going to be the only stuff I'll still be interested in. And, folks, I've read/collected/sold Marvel Comics for over FIFTY YEARS, so my lack of interest in the new stuff is quite surprising to me.

I'm an old school comics guy, from when artists drew on paper and writers used a typewriter.

It's very telling about myself when I say that I support almost zero new titles. One or two new books per month, at best. If it was the 1960's, 70's or 80's, I'd buy every Marvel book published each month.

I know what you mean, sort of. I find myself enjoying the series a lot, even more than some of the movies, but I'm just not too excited about Shang-Chi or The Eternals. I'm ready for Black Widow, but the anticipation has declined somewhat. Maybe because Endgame had such a finality to it? Not sure. I'm still going to give those movies a chance, but the expectations are low. Maybe that's a good thing.

Give it some time and come back to the series later on. Perhaps they'll seem different when you revisit them. They're definitely not like the movies, but I like the variety.

I'm in the same boat......collected Marvel in the 60's (when no one else did) Was thrilled to death when all my beloved characters were brought to life in the Marvel movies so well......and then, this.

Sorry, the Loki series is what Frank Zappa would call a "Cocaine Decision"

Critics and audiences seem to like it, but I suppose your mileage may vary of course.

[Joeker]

I’m excited to see the Kid. Cant wait for the next episode. For me this has been the best Marvel Studios TV show so far.

[BluBonnet]

Watching this show fills me with a sense of glorious purpose

I'm really starting to love

[Show spoiler]Alligator Loki. I hope this wasn't the last show featuring it.

[JohnAV]

This was like stepping out of what you thought might happen to something different. I wonder how this will end?

[Deathbymonkeys]

Alligator Loki is my favorite mcu character.

[Star Lord]

Another bonkers episode! I'd watch a spin-off series of each one of em lol.

[captaincarl]

I enjoyed learning the backstories of each!

[Show spoiler]The shock and awe of Kid Loki killing Thor, the Thog cameo hehe and the potential of Loki realized in Classic Loki. His back story is what all Loki fans wanted to see happen in the Thanos encounter of Infinity War. When he found his Glorious Purpose and created Asgard...the sheer might and spectacle!

I wonder if we are going to see a different version of Kang as the big bad...like there are different versions of Loki. Perhaps we will get a glance of Immortus played by a different actor then Majors?

Talking about a series that subverts expectations...Ep4 and Ep5 have gone completly different than what I expected and I am sure the Finale will do the same.

Common Loki, stick your landing!! If any MCU show can do it, it shall be Loki.

Cheers,

Yeah, if the finale sticks the landing, this will comfortably be the best of the D+ shows so far.

I think it benefits tremendously from being the only one thus far that doesn't feel on some level like it's table-setting for other things. Obviously it is; they're prepping us for multiverse shenanigans and all that, but compared to FaTWS, which was basically 3% story and 97% 'get these characters into the right costumes for the next movie,' and WV, which started strong but petered out right at the end in order to get everybody where they needed to be for Multiverse of Madness, Loki feels like a story told for its own sake, rather than so he can be at a certain point for...uh...whenever he next shows up.

[Rodney-2187]

solarrdadd has so many new cosplay options!

[Foggy]

I’m at a point now where I’ve written off the series as a disappointment. That’s not to say I haven’t enjoyed it, the newest episode is fun, but the whole show has felt like constant busy work for other stuff. It’s a shame they’ve taken the most interesting character in the franchise and get him trapped between tedious plot mechanics and repetitive character drama. All three of the Marvel shows have suffered from the same issue of the storytelling getting baggier and clunkier with the extended runtimes. The thing I really like about the film are how they’re able to malleable balance big plot ideas with illustrious character moments that feel effortless, but with longer runs the shows feel like reiterating information and breaking apart motivation with action for padding.

It’s a shame since I really want to like all of them, and this one in particular, but they’ve all felt rather disposable in terms of getting A. Character to B. Movie or Concept A ready for Movie B.

[CyberpunkCentral]

LMFAO @ the

[Show spoiler]Loki Gator xD

It's so random.

[CyberpunkCentral]

Not being a massive comic reader I'v little idea were Eternals is going but honestly yes I do tend to agree a bit in that most of the MCU films post End Game are feeling a little generic, it seems like Multiverse of Madness is going to be the first one that really feels like its pushing the story on much.

Thus far with the D+ series I do agree there held back a bit by having to move pieces around, at least the first two anyway. Still though I felt within that they were fairly original with some good drama to them, definitely a step up from generic origin stories.

Loki has definitely benefited from less of that and honestly just having a bit more variety and originality to it. The previous two I felt conked out a bit after they'd played out their original plot setup depending mostly on drama/performance after that were as Loki only stuck with that setup for a couple of episodes and has come up with a lot of other interesting stuff since.

It is pretty obviously "MCU does Dr Who" but honestly I think its more original/fun than any of the rebooted Who to me which to me has always been lacking in real imagination.
