Television Loki Season 2 coming Oct 5th (trailer up)
Reputator replied to silentbob's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
I will say it's not as good so far as S1, but I already expected that. S1 was fresh, less complicated, and the characters had more room to grow. You can't replicate the impact of a new idea, which I think the show creators know, so they're taking the Pirates of the Caribbean approach of making the sequel interesting by throwing a lot of plot at it. But that isn't necessarily bad, and there can still be fun to be had with it. -

Oh yeah good point. But I also agree that this Kang (Victor) is already different, and there's a chance that he could turn out to be GOOD good, because truthfully I don't know how else the infinite Kang problem can be solved. Definitely not the way Sylvie wants to, or by loads of ass kicking like how the old Avengers solved things. -

I'm not sure what the purpose of the plot device is to make it so one Kang lives, unless it's to lead to a "redeemed" Kang that saves everyone from the other Kangs, and causes a character arc for Sylvie so she learns a happy lesson about individuality. Incidentally the Kang she killed WAS supposed to be the good Kang, and a derivative of this 19th century one if we can infer that from the plan Miss Minutes and Renslayer are given. -

I think because to fix the loom they needed to let one Kang live, which was antithetical for her. But so far no one has pointed out to Sylvie the blatant self-contradiction of wanting to let variants live because they are all different (including herself), and killing every version of Kang because in her mind they're all the same. -

Another great episode, and a lot of production value. A bigger set, lots of extras, bigger investment in costumes, etc. Big improvement over the typical cheap-looking Disney+ series episode. The plot is getting very dense, but it's really something that deserves a reserving of judgement til the end. -
Matthew Vaughn might be the only person that wants this.

Oh yeah noticed that too. To me this is a modern laugh track sitcom with one Frasier character grafted into it. It doesn't have any of the uniqueness or writing chops of the old series, and even when the old series wasn't funny, the stories and characters continued to be interesting. And considering I haven't liked a single laugh track sitcom post-90s, I guess that's where I have fault with it. The quality of the jokes and humor is pretty much at the level of That 70s Show or Big Bang. So I guess if you found those shows funny (I almost never did) this might work for you.
