It's the most popular MCU show on Disney+ confirmed by the big man himself. It's just some people are really vocal about hating on it, some for really dumb reasons like how they teased loki being bisexual but he wants to bang a female in the show.
I enjoyed it, but looking back I would actually say one of the bigger nitpicks was Loki's extremely inconsistent power level. One minute (Avengers 2012, he's toe-to-toe with Captain America) next he's getting beat down by a random trucker in a super market. One minute he's a bumbling buffoon on a train, then the very next scene he's literally lifting a building with magic he's never been shown to use before. A lot of people speculated he pocketed an infinity stone or two at the TVA for that scene and would use it to somehow escape that apocalypse, which leads to the next two major gripes most fans had:
The writing got a little wonky from time to time, the most relevant example is the establishment that literally NOTHING divurges from a dooms day, since it's all going to be destroyed, and yet the show made 0 effort to explain how loki self-cesting with Sylvie caused a bunch of branches that notified the tva of their existence thus rescuing them. The other major issue was Sylvie herself, once she was introduced she took over the show. Loki became a supporting character to her story rather than his own. Loki literally had nothing to do after figuring out who his murderous variant was, then said variant established the plot line for the rest of the series and helmed it while Loki just tagged along.
>and yet the show made 0 effort to explain how loki self-cesting with Sylvie caused a bunch of branches that notified the tva of their existence thus rescuing them
I think it's because 99% of the time, Lokis generally only love themselves so when Loki hooked up with Sylvie, it was such a rare occurence that it counted as a powerful nexus event.
>it counted as a powerful nexus event.
yeah, but how? What was them, at most fricking then and there, going to do to the timeline? It doesn't make sense that such an event could hypothetically cause a timeline divergence when they're going to be ashes in a matter of seconds. Loki running around Pompei and warning people of the volcano would have had more impact than that, because that would have caused some people to die in different spots, altering the times when their corpses are discovered years later which could have radically different effects on the days of the people who find them. But two lokis kissing in a microwave set on high somehow prompts the tva to pull them out? WHY?

I can offer two possible explanations anon.
1) the two putting aside selfish reasons caused a potentiality event that they WOULDN'T be destroyed, because they'd have figured something out if they hadn't gotten found.
2) Because Loki realized the nexus event was going to happen and told the tva, they were paying extra-close attention to apocalypses to find them anyway.

The actual explanation is kang wanted them to be found since he planned everything up to him getting stabbed. Everything in Loki (and the MCU) up to the last episode was because kang wanted it that way
Except 100% of the time when people complain about it they invariably talk about Kang. Criticism of his alleged bisexuality has always been using it as just another example of Disney's painfully obvious marketing of lip service.
I don't know much about him but how is his comic book version compared to the Thanos comic version?
I feel he could be a threat if he planned ahead for most of what the Avengers could throw at him but then have some I guess some type mcguffin that stops him or outsmarts him to the point he just gives up ont he randomness of the character.
Like would this actually happen with Antman? Will he be beaten by Antmans quick logic or sillyness?
Or god forbid, his crew? Mainly the spanish guy??
Black or white, he's still just a smart guy with tech. His threat level is always defined by how much the writer wants his opponents to forget how to beat him.

He's a red herring. He's just the new Loki, the guy who's a pawn of the next big boss. Which is probably gonna be Doctor Doom if they're smart enough to realize that's the best decision.
God no. One very small good thing about Trump not being president anymore is that they don't have to do stupid Trump digs since they finally "defeated" him. Doom gets to be Doom, not some Euro Trump in a fricking metal suit.
I could be wrong though. I STILL see some of these frickers talk about Trump. It's funny how I don't even like him myself, but these rabid anti-trumpers seem to have the guy rent free in his head even though he has not been president in over a year now.
In all honesty though I don't have faith in them delivering on Doom, but they somehow managed to deliver with Thanos so perhaps they can be successful with him anyway. Doom is not a hard character to write, just make him a cool dictator, make him nuanced and show that he's not mindlessly brutal, he's just highly efficient with his brutality and wants what's best for Latveria and himself.

Not even Disney would be stupid enough to make their big bad a dated analogue for a real life person
If they’re really going for Secret Wars, Doom is the next Thanos. Secret Wars is his story (both of them). >but muh Beyonder(s)
Doom’s power source b***h(es)
I honestly thought he was pretty good. He was jovial and light but when he cranked up the malice he was actually fairly spooky. Give him a blue face and the classic armor, and make him overtly evil, and I can buy him as Kang.
He obviously wasn't intended to be scary, so I don't know why you'd bring that up at all. He's very explicitly not a threat to them in the episode. That was the point. The danger isn't coming from him.
>He obviously wasn't intended to be scary, so I don't know why you'd bring that up at all
Because the guy I'm replying to said he found him scary. >He's very explicitly not a threat to them in the episode. That was the point. The danger isn't coming from him.
And my point is it doesn't matter what they do with the character now, he'll always just be gay guy in my mind. They could have him blow up the Earth and all I'd see is him dancing around like he's about to start singing Elton John.
Sorry, I didn't realize you expected your idiotic bigotry to be the "serious" criticism. Who gives a shit what a dumbfrick like you thinks about anything?
I'd imagine Kang will be depicted differently from Thanos, who was more of a ultimate hidden villain who barely appeared until the last two Avengers films while I think Kang will be a more present and progressive threat throughout the new saga, starting off in Quantamania and Loki season two then variants like Rama-Tut and Iron Lad could pop up in other movies/shows, culminating in them teaming up to form the Council of Kangs as the main antagonists for Secret Wars.
>Is this really supposed to be the next Thanos?
Kang is just a villain associated with splinter timelines, he might get resolved by Ant-Man and crew. The next Big Bad will be Multiversal, an entirely different thing altogether.
Kang is a pawn like everyone else.
no are you blind that's a Black
Doubtful since nobody likes the Loki series
I just marathoned it yesterday. Really enjoyed it. Do people really not like it?

So another Stark.
I personally wish we could have avoided a romance all together, I wanted more shenanigans not a mommy issues romantic interest
>Do people really not like it?
Please ignore shitposters.
It's well liked. Cinemaphile anons are just doomer homosexuals
WE
ARE THE CRYSTAL GEMS!
WUZ

They'll beat some variants first and then the super duper ultra powerful genius "real" kang will show up.
Hmm, perhaps.
what a grotesque person
Hopefully they give him blue skin and maybe cgi his face a bit
>blue skin
anon...
>I created a BATTLE SUIT consisting of a green poet shirt, matching pants stuffed into dominatrix boots, gauntlets and this helmet.
Why though?
It was the style of the time
Which time?
He'd tried just about every other look through time and space.
it's just a helmet though
He's a red herring. He's just the new Loki, the guy who's a pawn of the next big boss. Which is probably gonna be Doctor Doom if they're smart enough to realize that's the best decision.
Place your bets on how they’d ruin Doom. I’m thinking Make Sokovia Great Again
God no. One very small good thing about Trump not being president anymore is that they don't have to do stupid Trump digs since they finally "defeated" him. Doom gets to be Doom, not some Euro Trump in a fricking metal suit.

lol yea sure

He was too campy to be scary. I'll never be able to see him as anything but gay black man.
He obviously wasn't intended to be scary, so I don't know why you'd bring that up at all. He's very explicitly not a threat to them in the episode. That was the point. The danger isn't coming from him.

That's a variant of Kang though. We'll see Kang in the new Ant-Msn movie
Feige said they are revealing the next Saga in the coming months
No. He's a second-rate C-list villain played by some literally who nobody Black person actor. At best he'll be some mid-lvl threat like Ultron.
No. Just a variant. Did they not explain things slowly enough for you?
does anyone give a shit?
I'd imagine Kang will be depicted differently from Thanos, who was more of a ultimate hidden villain who barely appeared until the last two Avengers films while I think Kang will be a more present and progressive threat throughout the new saga, starting off in Quantamania and Loki season two then variants like Rama-Tut and Iron Lad could pop up in other movies/shows, culminating in them teaming up to form the Council of Kangs as the main antagonists for Secret Wars.
