I still don't understand the Time Heist, especially now in the context of Loki. Why didn't everybody else involved get arrested? Why did they even need to steal all of the stones when the Time Stone, the easiest possible one to obtain, which they could've got simply by going to an alternate Doctor Strange and not The Ancient One, but regardless, could have just been used to reverse the destruction of 616's infinity stones?
I don't get it. Is everybody blind and stupid in the MCU writer's room?
Bigger question is why didn’t they just go back 5 years ago to 2018 and have scott take a TON of pym particles from hank or even Hank himself to make sure they have plenty of chances getting the stones.
LOKI season one says that everything the avengers did including their time travel was supposed to happen to keep OG kangs sacred timeline intact. Time travel isn’t against TVA law. Breaking the rules of the sacred timeline are. So if you decided to stop for a coffee before work that could be a branch and you’d have to die.
An even bigger question is why didn't Doctor Strange just go back in time and tell Thor to aim for the head? Oh, I guess because it was the will of the Kang, who in contrast to his role as a plot device to protect the writers from having to actually write a compelling story with minimal plot holes, doesn't seem to actually give a shit about this purported "sacred" timeline.
I hate the MCU so much it's unreal. What a lazy compilation of nonsense.
Remember in infinity war when doctor strange uses the time stone to look ahead? All 14 million futures. He saw the one and only one where they win. Here’s how that goes
>look ahead into future to determine win. > slow down Thanos on titan knowing you’ll lose. Do this to allow Tony stark to survive to create time travel and allow Scott Langs quantum tunnel project to be uninterrupted until the precise moment. >lose and give Thanos the time Stone ensuring Tonys survival while knowing Thanos will use it to not only recreate the blown up mind Stone but snap half of all life >Thanos snaps >Thanos goes to the garden to retire and destroy stones removing them from play >Thanos is killed by Thor >5 years pass >scott lang is saved from quantum realm And avengers assemble for time heist >avengers use past stones to snap everyone back >fight with past Thanos and army to prevent them from gaining past stones >Tony kills Thanos and himself. >stones are put back in the past to ensure timeline stays intact
>well that’s stupid
Yeah but that’s the answer the writers have. The only way you beat Thanos in infinity war and endgame is the events we saw onscreen. Killing Thanos as a baby or killing him in Wakanda still leads to a loss. Somehow. Thats the only answer.

Why are you assuming he only looked ahead in time? I mean it's quite possible, but seems like just another inconsistency when traveling backwards to affect the timeline seems more efficient.
Also the whole "14,000,605 timelines" doesn't really make sense in its own right, from Doctor Strange's perspective, to the audience's. Like I said, given the power as portrayed by the Time Stone, Strange may as well be adjusting the timeline constantly, similar to how Bran/The Three-Eyed Raven does (unintentionally) in Game of Thrones. Neither character actually does though, because... ?
The reality (no pun intended) is that there are no 14,000,605 futures, there are theoretically infinite, because if something happens it can always be altered or even reverted. So the entire proclamation of having viewed the 14,000,605 makes no sense in its own right. He should've just done what he had the power to do; fix everything according to how he preferred, which I suppose you could argue he did, but how would we know? At this point Strange is equal parts overpowered and ambiguous in nature, making him nothing more than an uninteresting plot device to cover up shitty writing, same as Kang.
Also as a sidenote; there was no reason for the visualization of Strange's "viewing" of the timelines. He quite literally controls time. If he was going forward into time, he'd have to reverse to whatever "present" and that wouldn't actually be visualized to Stark and the audience. You wouldn't see anything. The meditation phaseshifting visual was so fricking stupid and nonsensical I wanted to claw my eyes out.

Killing baby Thanos and killing him in Wakanda would result in a win.
But those were alternate futures 14,000,001 and 14,000,002. Strange didn't look that far ahead.
Real answer is that stories about time travel are banned in China. To avoid cutting off the market, they had to fudge the script. That's why at one point in Endgame, Ant Man looks directly into the camera and says NO THIS IS NOT TIME TRAVEL!
>Loki does all of this shit >Just ends up back in cuffs like in end game again >also dies
probably
unless they make him a timekeeper, the new he who remains or a watcher or soemshit
they're also going to tease deadpool in this, so it'll lead to that
KANGS!
Also the episode was pretty uneventful, Loki was unstuck in time, fricked about a bit and then they did a hecking science on him at the last second and now he's not unstuck in time.
>mouseBlack folk here to shill their newest abortion
Maybe try back on r*ddit, and then stay there
Imagine STILL watching capeslop
Writers be like I deserve 95$ an hour
why would you highlight the fact your British man has hairline?!
>still no subs
Have Cinemaphile failed us?
I want to eat McDonald’s now
Wasn't the buck fired because he beat up some woman?
He broke up a high school girl fight so it's all good man.
this show finished shooting before the scandal so they weren't going to redo it
also marvel hasn't fired him yet, they are waiting to see how the trial goes
None of it made any sense.
Maybe you're just low IQ.
Loki was in the past and future. They did stuff so he could stay in the present.
It was so good anar08
I don't get why this character was ever popular with tumblrites or whoever else.
He’s really good when he isn’t being written by Whedon.
I liked the part where Loki murdered an innocent woman five minutes in to the episode.
she didn't, the van didn't crash to the ground
She’ll be fine.
better than him crying at a clip show of his life to dramatically change his character
>40 min long McDonalds commercial
Shits already off to a terrible start.
marvel is fricking back
yes
isn't this homie dead?
when the Avengers tried to steal the tesseract, they fricked up and boofed the mission and Loki ecscaped with the tesseract

>dead
Almost spilled my soïmilk when this came out. Is Kang going to heckin do something crazy?
That was sick, damn
LOKIBROS WE ARE SO FRICKING BACK
lokibros will never be a thing anon
frick you with all due respect
Also mentions of Kang in this one episode made him feel wayyyyyyy more threatening than the entire Antman movie
Fricking kek
>I can do anything
except walk lol
Dianne Feinstein's final role
gay gay shit I'll never watch, OP
OB cute. A CUTE!
>4 hours old
>only 38 replies
Marvel is dead
>so dead not even trolls are bothering
literally shaking rn
i feel like this is just going to be mostly fixing loki's time predicament and almost no further story development (nothing happens season)
>Loki does all of this shit
>Just ends up back in cuffs like in end game again
>also dies

It’s hard to care about a multiverse story anymore. I loved Loki season 1 but since then all capes hit has done it to death.
The Asian character sucked complete ass and took me out of the show. I heard he won an Oscar which is shocking.
Why does Tom Hideouston have such a punchable face?
Taylor, that's enough, you abused the guy enough already
I no longer know if a thread is serious or some Dall-E shit now.
Guys can you not spoil it for me that would be really wholesome thanks
KANGS!
Also the episode was pretty uneventful, Loki was unstuck in time, fricked about a bit and then they did a hecking science on him at the last second and now he's not unstuck in time.
whyd they even bother putting a "will he live or die one chance" in episode 1, what a waste of time
>KANGS!
Some gay Blacks that was beat by Ant-Man's brat doesn't make for a good villain.
Is Sylvie cute?
did she get walled
About a decade ago
Who pruned Loki at the end?
Most likely himself from the future
Season 1 was a better Doctor Who show than Doctor Who.
