Okay, Im A super sucker for this stuff...but yeah, this video of the best scene of the last episode of LOKI is awesome.

http://youtu.be/_ZFV3ufxzX0

Haha, that's great! And easily the best scene of the series.

Enjoyed the finale!

Spoiler

Knew nothing about Kang but the actor was very good.

I have never wanted to hug Loki more than that quiet scene where Sylvie's thrown him back to the TVA. Played so well by both of them.

Super pleased there will be a second series

Yeah great finale! And that person is the villain of the next Ant-Man movie, so that’s a solid intro.

Is the Ant Man movie the next one out? What's it called, Quantumania?

No, Next up is

SHANG-CHI in September

ETERNALS Nov 5th

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Dec 17th

DOCTOR STRANGE & THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS March 2022

THOR: LOVE & THUNDER May 2022

BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER July 2022

THE MARVELS Nov 2022

and then

ANT-MAN & THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA Feb 2023

So yeah, I think LOKI was essentially doing the Thanos "Fine, I'll do it myself" post-credit scene from AGE OF ULTRON in 2015, even though Thanos didn't really show up till 2018 in IW.

and if you introduce:

Spoiler

Kang the Conquerer, you know Doctor Doom ain't far behind

Well Kang, the original from the 31st century is Nathaniel Richards, supposed descendant of Reed Richards (yes THE Reed Richards, of FF fame) Father Nathaniel who was a time traveller. And one of his earliest interactions after he starts jumping through time/realities is Doctor Doom, who he initially styles himself after. There is a theory that they are related somehow too.

And the next film after ANT-MAN 3 is FANTASTIC FOUR, so I'm thinking it will all get tied together.

I'd also like to reiterate, this is the BEST Marvel D+ show by a country mile...AND it stuck the landing with the ending. I can't say that either W/V or TFATWS stuck their landings like Loki did.

Also

Spoiler

What else is Jonathan Majors in? He was RIVETING, and if he's the big bad of Phase 4, then we are in for a TREAT. Amazing actor.
Also, since this is already a Kang variant, then he's gonna get a chance to act differently for the Conquerer version and any other variants that show up.

I completely agree. The performance and the overall implications of the finale had left me more excited about the MCU than I have been in years.

I was reading an interview with one of the Marvel TV show writers - cannot remember which show it was - but he had been asking Marvel to allow him to drop in some...

Spoiler

Doom easter eggs but they were having none of it. Wouldn't even let him name drop Latveria.

Not surprised. I think that character is being saved for a later reveal and they want it to be a surprise to most people.

They certainly kept

Kang in LOKI

under wraps.

BK, stick with it. There's a hook at the end of ep 2 that changes what's going on.

[Mezla PigDog]

I just finished Loki. I enjoyed the middle episodes. I'm not sure if I'm too tired or not keeping up with the geekery but I think the finale went over my head.

Sylvie has lovely hair.

[Tiste Simeon]

Started watching Wandavision tonight, got through the first two episodes, that was hilarious, I had no idea what was happening and I loved it!

[Tiste Simeon]

And tonight we finished Wandavision and that was one of the best shows I've seen recently, just a rollercoaster from start to finish. Very moving at the end, did not expect it to be so emotional (nor hilarious throughout!)

Kathryn Hahn basically stole every scene she was in. Superb performance.

Couple of things after it that one of you Marvel nerds might be able to answer:

Spoiler

1) if the "Hex" is down, how does Agatha stay as the cheesy "nosy neighbour"? Surely the runes will have no effect now?
2) the mid-credits scene, who was the alien woman speaking to Geraldine/Monica at the end? Someone from Captain Marvel right?
3) I think we already knew that Wanda was the Scarlet Witch... How did we know that? The reveal by Agatha at the end of the penultimate episode seemed like it was a big thing but I thought I knew all this? Or is that just general knowledge out there that we must have picked up just in general over the past few years?

[Slow Ben]

Just finished up Loki. Loved it from start to finish.

I know literally nothing about Kang, I don’t think I’ve ever read a comic, so I’m off to devour all the info the internet has.

Wanda traps her like that while the runes are still in effect, without Agatha being able to break free afterwards as she doesn't know she's got powers.

I don't expect that to last forever, as I feel like Agatha will show up down the road in the MCU, but for now she's stuck.

2) the mid-credits scene, who was the alien woman speaking to Geraldine/Monica at the end? Someone from Captain Marvel right?

Yes, a Skrull from the ship that was carrying Nick Fury till the end of SPIDER-MAN: FFH. Which is where S.W.O.R.D. (the descendant of SHIELD) operates out of. They are recruiting Monica for SWORD.

3) I think we already knew that Wanda was the Scarlet Witch... How did we know that? The reveal by Agatha at the end of the penultimate episode seemed like it was a big thing but I thought I knew all this? Or is that just general knowledge out there that we must have picked up just in general over the past few years?

WE knew that, in that we are the audience and know that Wanda Maximoff is Scarlet Witch from years of content. At no point in the MCU up till W/V does anyone on screen or in the story so far call her that. So it's a reveal in-story.

Answers in red.

Thanks baby I knew I could rely on you!

Couple of follow up questions then if you don't mind:

Spoiler

I thought Monica was with SWORD? Wasn't that who Haywood et Al were working for? Or is this the real, intergalactic version of it not just SHIELD 2.0 on earth?

If I recall correctly, SHIELD was basically destroyed or disbanded due to Hydra?

I would love to see Agatha again she was superb.

I guess I never realised that they never called her Scarlet Witch - I must have just picked it up somewhere cos she's not a character I know well. Probably from here haha.

Thanks again!

SWORD on earth is a front for SWORD in space. Basically the scene was Nick Fury wanting to meet her and recruit her for more....universal shenanigans and not just earth based stuff.

If I recall correctly, SHIELD was basically destroyed or disbanded due to Hydra?

So without spoiling anything from that show, the mid-credits scene of FALCON & The WINTER SOLIDER confirms that SHIELD does actually still exist...but what form that has taken post-Hydra and collapse....no one knows yet.

I would love to see Agatha again she was superb.

Me too, Kathryn Hahn nailed it.

I guess I never realised that they never called her Scarlet Witch - I must have just picked it up somewhere cos she's not a character I know well. Probably from here haha.

Oh I think I also assumed someone had called her that previously too in the movies, but when it happened in WV I was like "Did they never say it out loud? And they very much didn't. LOL

Thanks again!

Answers in red again.

Also, I may like LOKI better as a show, but still think that WV has one of the best MCU quotes of all time in it. "But what is grief, if not love persevering?"

[Tiste Simeon]

Thank you, as always for your answers. I *think* that is everything for now... We're planning on watching The Falcon and the Winter Soldier next so I'll no doubt have further queries!

[Mezla PigDog]

I just saw Black Widow. Really enjoyed it. It was a lot funnier than I expected and nice for the general lack of superpowers. Very much enjoyed the "you're a poser" line that ran through it.
