Well, obviously right back to where he was pulled out of the timeline but you know what I mean.
Based on the kid I was assuming it was Mephisto until the end, which would tie all the "hints" from WV together. While I like the idea of Loki v Loki, I was hoping we'd get a new baddie. [Reply]
Hence the flaws with time travel logic is that if they're having this variant of Loki, the one that escaped with the tessaract in Endgame, help them reset the timeline to it's natural place, then by that logic, he would need to be reset as well, thus sending him on the path of being killed by Thanos. Will be interesting to see if they try to work around this, if Owen Wilson's character has a hidden agenda and if Loki tries to avoid this fate while helping them achieve their goal. I'll keep watching, definitely a better premise than the other Marvel shows up until this point. [Reply]

Loki vs Loki could nuanced, to another immortal shapeshifter who has time traveling abilities like En Sabah Nur.
He has connections to the Celestials & Eternals [Reply]
Could make sense - Cap goes back to replace the stones and Mjolnir, finds Peggy, explains everything to her, TVA shows up because he wasn't supposed to go back and marry her, they join up instead of being disintegrated.
IMHO it started out like another Disney dud. It wouldn't be hard for me to drop D+ like a rock. My son likes it so Ill soldier on. He has his own tv so if this picks up I will catch up. I am on to Bosch which I have never seen should keep me busy a while. [Reply]
I think this will be the best of the 3 MCU shows for sure. So much potential and Loki is just a better character than Wanda, Vision, Bucky, and Sam. [Reply]

Of course it did, in terms of popularity alone, Loki is one of the most popular characters in the Marvel universe, WandaVision started off slow as hell, too enamored with it's own homage to classic TV and cryptic hints to actually tell a cohesive or interesting story, and let's face it, Falcon and the Winter Soldier are the ugly girls that you try to go through to get to the hot one. One is damaged on the inside and the other is just not interesting enough to warrant your attention. [Reply]

I just could not disagree more with your take on WandaVision.
The attention to detail was absolutely amazing, as was the writing, score, casting and overall story arc, which takes on a different feel when watching the entire season for the second time.
You guys never cease to amaze me: People bitch and bitch and bitch that "Hollywood has run out of ideas!!!!", yet when something "original" is aired, it's not good enough.
There's just no way to please everyone but I think it's safe to say that WandaVision was a rousing success that beat all expectations in terms of streaming numbers and internet buzz. [Reply]

I wonder if part of that is due to releasing on a weekday where a lot of people don't have plans and have to work the next day vs Friday which is when people tend to go out and do stuff. [Reply]
