#MARVEL #Loki
Loki second guessed being a robot because for most of his life he didn’t know he was a frost giant
Secretly a Frost Giant that's secretly a robot? Those Jhotons must have had better tech than we thought
@@SimonBuchanNz Jotuns* or jötunn if you like.
I think you're reading too much into it. It was a throw away gag.
@@Martin-bf3by You're also reading too much into it.
@@joshkaid love when people delete comments who get confronted…makes me think it was a really dumb thing that shamed them enough to remove it haha
I wonder if the cat in the office is Schrödinger’s cat because they had to stop the cat from making another timeline!
That’s an astute observation. Good stuff
Holy fuck that’s genius
Bro, nice.
Good lord King Boo 👻 that was a super smart observation!! Makes sense
Now that you mention it...I guess it is kind of weird that an actual cat is just chilling at the TVA
Maybe the real villains were the friends we made along the way
I love it
Didn’t see that coming
Hail Hydra!
@@dannyphantom5565 the best plotwist friendship
I am one of those Villains😌
The dialogue was so good and interesting. Hiddleston killed it with his reactions to watching his life, you could really feel him process and deal with those emotions.
Loki’s talk against free will and calling himself a liberator will be the conclusion of the story as he restores free will - prediction
I think your right but it’s going to be other Loki that does it
Or maybe he becomes other loki
Honestly this is how it will probably go
It still fucks with 13 years of movies prior to this. That character you love and developed? It happened because 3 lizard people decided this is the canon, they didn't develop at all.
If Tony would have stayed home with his family and didn't invent time travel, he would have been melted.
If Thor killed Thanos in Infinity War he would have been melted.
If Vision missed Rhody with the laser, he would have been melted.
If Spider-man didn't give the glasses to Beck, he would have been melted.
If Hawkeye won against Black Widow, he would have been melted.
If Tony didn't create Ultron he would have been melted.
If Hitler only killed 5,999,999 jews, the 6 millionth one would have been melted.
If Uncle Ben was saved on the hospital bed, he would have been melted.
If Tony forgave Bucky at the Hydra base, he would have been melted.
If Hulk hadn't dabbed, he would have been melted.
EVERYTHING is meaningless now. The only way to fix this is for this show to be decanonised and not happen at all.
@@alexaka1 lol you are way overthinking this.
I swear to god. If Owen Wilson doesn’t say “Wow” in this series I’m cancelling my Disney+ membership
Woooooooow “all that for a drop of blood?”
You say that, but you won’t lol
I was really hoping his first line in this would be "wow" I was very disappointed
@@mr.infinity1887 Nah, they are definitely saving it for the last episode
@@elitepower4057 as long as he says it once I'll be happy
Can’t believe they revealed that the Variant they were hunting John Krasinski all along
I know. I thought it would be a post credits scene. But it was at the beginning of the show.
I can’t believe John Krasinski is playing Mephisto.
@@SweatyBreeze did you see the bit when Krasinski's Mephisto took his mask off and revealed himself to be John Krasinski as John Krasinski..... such a sick twist.
@@MrJakePaddy Hmmm I don't buy it, there's no actual way that John Krasinski can ACTUALLY BE John Krasinski
@Meta Man dude that theory has been floating since the first trailer dropped aha
Loki is, at the end of this show, going to shatter the "sacred timeline." Ironically, he thought he was being benevolent by taking away freewill, but he will be the one to truly give it to the people.
Tom Hiddleston is a real talent. I have no idea why it took them this long to not just have him be a side character or villain stand-in and actually have the character just interact with people and weird situations in the MCU.
He was basically the main character in Thor TDW. It took them this long because it's hard to implement story wise. Look what they did to make it happen! A variant version being arrested by an ultrapowerful organization that controls timelines and time travel.
Owen Wilson seems kinda sus, I reckon he’s Mephisto.
He’s of course working for Loki, who is actually Mephisto too.
Finally somebody with a brain
Bah, you obviously didn't watch WandaVision, where the entire character roster turned out to be Mephisto. Nice try though
*a VARIANT Mephisto
I personally think you are Mephisto.
it's mephistos all the way down
That close up shot of Loki’s face that lingers for a minute when seeing the stones is so good at reflecting his complete shift in perspective at that point. Gives me homelander (Antony Starr) vibes and I’m not complaining
I can just imagine Thanos finding that drawer full of Infinity Stones and him snapping his fingers violently while the TVA workers stare at him weirdly
That's what we really need, a buddy cop show with Thanos and Owen Wilson
Fuck!!! Think about how often a choice makes a variable. Dr Strange saw millions of variant timelines at once... That means Thanos was arrested and killed millions of times on each timeline until we got the one where half the universe loses 5 years and Iron Man dies a horrific cosmic death, Loki dies a cruel neck snap earlier too
And this was the best case scenario... Fucking hell.
@@kyledonnelly8069 Not even close. It is said in this episode that all the time travel by The Avengers, Thanos and such did NOT create a variant since it was part of the sacred timeline from the start.
Also Strange saw POSSIBILITIES, not timelines, nor variant timelines. Just possibilities.
Maybe some of these events did create variants but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Haha it's so funny Gamora and Black Widow died for no reason.
@@alexaka1 Wow, the most stupid comment I've read all day. You didn't even get the basics
I got really surprised when the TVA basically said “yeah we destroyed other timelines don’t worry about it” it kinda shows how little they care. Also I wonder if that cat in the office is a Flerken or not
Well they do like eating Infinity Stones...
Schrödinger’s cat
I wondered if it was a flerkin.
@@kennyowensby5288 Yup
It'd be funny if it was Schrodinger's cat. All those timelines created because of that cats' damn paradox of quantum superpositions.
Maso: "16th century, we'll get comments."
Also Maso: "DB Cooper happened in the 1960's."
Yeah, the late 60s
Like it happened so late in the 60s it's actually the early 70s. It was a weird time
@@PieceBoxHeid
Cocaine's a helluva drug.
I was impressed how quick Mason was with that 16th C correction
Grab that gem you guys.
There's a whole drawer full of them.
If only Thanos found a way to the TVA
@@calebtheowl1516 the stones don’t work in the TVA though!
@@doodoobutter101 It doesn’t matter, he’s got enough man power to go in and get them and leave
I lowkey love the idea that for all Thanos' bluster there was just this bureaucracy operating on a whole other level than him, just mildly inconvenienced by him breaking reality.
The fact that they didn’t mention Coulson coming back to life makes me think Agents of SHIELD is just 100% non-canon at this point.
YES
I thought this was established a while ago?
@@drghostduck the show itself kind of puts itself in another timeline. But marvel has never specifically said if it is canon or not anymore, but the darkhold being in Wandavision and it looking much different than the one in AOS confirmed it enough
Or you can simply say that they didn't tell Loki that Coulson was alive for the sake of Coulson's life.
If they told Loki that Coulson was alive, Loki might try to kill him out of revenge.
You can forcefully deny that AoS is non-canon.
Agents of Shield was probably one of the branching timelines that the TVA eliminated…
I did love him seeing the amount of office workers with all Infinity Stones sends Loki through a breakdown, because all the power he had ever wanted and any one of those pencil pushers could've shut him down.
It wasn’t that they could shut him down, as they couldn’t, the stones don’t work within the TVA.
The realization was that the strongest power in the universe to him, the ∞ stones, were not only meaninglessness and useless, and so numerous that they could be used as simple paperweights, but the biggest thing is that the desk clerks just did not care.
Even with all of the power in tbe universe on their desks, they just saw it as simple paperweight.
Thats why he exclaimed the TVA was the most powerful organization in existencez
They couldn't. The stones aren't operational for anyone there.
@Johnt Schmichal no u
The Time-Keepers are Stan Lee, Kevin Feige, and John Krasinski
All three of which are secretly Mephisto
@@kevink397 Todd Mcfarlane would agree with the Stan Lee part whole heartedly
I am already sold on this show. The other ones took a few episodes but I already love this. It’s silly, it’s conceptually insane, and I love Loki as a character. Can’t wait to watch more of this.
I found it weird that Loki’s first original scene when he teleports to the desert is very reminiscent of Iron Man 1. He pulls his mask and throws it off in the exact same way as when Iron Man escapes from the terrorists.
That's actually a great spot. Wouldn't have noticed it
I'm sure that wasn't an accident.
What it means is more debatable, but I took it to be a sign that this, like Iron Man is a story of a man making the choice to change his ways be a hero after his life of being a prick suddenly became painfully unsuccessful.
@@bobson3014 couldn't have possibly been accidental.
first thing i noticed. the approach shot was the same, camera angle, movements. very much intentional.
@@bobson3014 Yeap, they are teasing a redemption story in that scene for sure.
It was a great first episode, Loki was already a sympathetic character, but this episode REALLY made me feel this guy. Another case of "the best written villains don't see themselves as villains".
But..... hes not a great villan now, just a silly not very clever bloke x)
he’s mid
@@sammerry7706 he doesn't have to be the villain now, villain is in relief to something else.
@@DrewLSsix true enough, hes the de facto protagonist now, but consider only seconds before (his time) he was ripping out eyeballs and manipulating the human race
Yea can’t wait till maphisto shows up
The time travel solution that Stark came up with in endgame was an “inverted Mobius strip”.
Agent Mobius is helping control the timeline.
Interesting…
The real villain is The Corn of Coblin
Return of the King
Classic
Obviously. And we all know that Mephisto is really Corn of Coblin.
played by John Krazinski
The Greatest
Perfect timing just finished the episode. Loved how Loki kinda grew in a few minutes watching his future as opposed to the years it took watching on screen
The infinity stones arent "meaningless" now, just like Loki's magic, they simply dont work in the bubble universe that the TVA exists in
Can't wait for the big reveal where the variant isn't actually Loki but simply a irrelevant character named "Joe Erection"
Ha
Bohner
@Geoffrey Epstein they would do that.
An irrelevant*
I'm so sorry but it bugged me.
Also you used quotation marks on something that wasn't a quote. I won't sleep tonight, so thanks for that.
@@MrJakePaddy a quotation for emphasis from the show, it would be a quote in the show if it came out to be true, but also it’s used for emphasis for the joke, how about we care less about grammar because it don’t exist or matter you elitist grammar hydra agent
@@jblue1622 single quotation marks are used for 'emphasis'. And as it isn't a quote from the show (nor will it be) it can't be seen as a quote.
You can not care about grammar all you want if you wish to look dumb. I'll just carry on doing what I'm doing thank you 😊
So weird how they made basically all of endgame feel like a small event and the infinity stones have been made to almost powerless items
same as it was in the comics though, infinity stones only matter in your timeline
@@MrHerolet but what timeline is he taken to is the TVA even apart of timeline? Like are they frozen in a timeless area of space? Hope they explain that kinda stuff or at least hint to soemtjing
Ikr, that was something that bothered me a bit. The most powerful items in the universe that were the center of 20 movies and 10 years of build up are now devalued to mere souveneers you send with your mail lol
@@SaItyToad00 they aren’t tho. They are only powerful in the universe they originate. They are useless in other universes.
@@SaItyToad00 you just don’t understand how they actually work and how actually important they were. They were never all that. I suggest reading about them or just watching some vids on them. What you MCU fans fail to realize is that everything in the MCU is a small fraction of what the Marvel Universe really is.
This show is the epitome of Marvels brand of "Cosmic made mundane". Super great stuff.
When loki is looking at all the powerless variant infinity stones, he picks up a time stone. We never see him put it down.
i could’ve sworn he dropped it
lol good luck figuring out what universe it works in though
@@doomstadt2371 it should work in any universe according to endgame.
We hear him put it down
I want him to snag *all* the stones lol!
“Why didn’t they have ranged weapons?” How much damage would a time bullet do if they missed a shot?
Maybe don’t make time bullets, just regular bullets.
What's the problem if they miss? They're gonna erase that timeline anyways.
@@vivek-dd5yo you're right.... and maybe the time bullet hits people but then reverses back into the gun like they never fired, leaving no evidence.
Get your hands on some of those bloody Tenet bullets mate
@@HOTD108_ oh god! Please don’t make me think of tenet. My brain can’t take it!!!!!
My theory is that Kang, or some other time lord needed a universe where his two biggest threats (Thanos and Tony Stark) were taken out. That’s why Strange only saw the one possibility of defeating Thanos as Tony sacrificing himself (something anyone could have done) because any other timeline, Thanos would have won, or the TVA would have interfered. Loki breaking his timeline is bad for the TVA because Tony can still live in that universe.
Additionally, I think these time lords have been using the Avengers to systematically wipe out threats such as Hela, Ego, Ultron, etc. Eventually, all that will be left is to destroy the Avengers themselves, and Cap and Tony are both gone.
Except that Tony was the only one who could defeat Thanos because any other character would have had to take the glove from Thanos, something that not even the very powerful Captain Marvel could do. Only Tony's suit had the nano tech that allowed him to take the stones without taking the glove. That's why Dr Strange had to keep him alive.
@@dansharp2860 I get that, but also I don’t. Any number of people could have been equipped to deal with it. At any point in the fight, any number of people could have put the glove on and snapped away the enemy. Tony only did it once it got to a point of desperation, which is perhaps the only time that kind of thought would occur, tbh, but I’m just saying that it’s odd that in 14 million + possibilities, Tony grabbing the stones after they’ve been stolen is the only way they win? Seems like something was trying to force that situation. Coulda been the writers, but I’m guessing it was TVA
@@dansharp2860 well, spiderman and pepper also had the same nanotech. Not to meantion that he didnt need to use them after he took the stones.
The comics answer this. The Time Keepers* (this isn’t Doctor Who) are staying in power because they were created at the end of time, so they’re maintaining that timeline so they live forever
Feel like if the "sacred timeline" is abandoned and free will takes over, this new unpredictable timeline allows for Kang to begin his Conquest
And the next 10 years of MCU will culminate in the New "Multiverse War"
Screen Rant pointed out that you can see Kang’s city in Ant Man 2
My working theory was that the Timekeepers are the 3 versions of Kang and the 'sacred timeline' is just the timeline that leads to his/their creation, and that he/they therefore need to protect.
@@Glettification the Time Keepers are in comics and aren’t Kang. But you nailed the motive. In comics, they were created at the end of time, and so seek to preserve that.
Those little "reset" bombs FOR SURE do not just erase the anachronistic elements. Those are, like, infinite anti-matter bombs or ulitmate nullifiers that destroy the entire universe. Ending all life and all future for that branch of the timeline.
Yep, the TVA is genociding entire universes when they "reset" a variant timeline. That's what it boils down to. And I'm sure the Other Loki intends to set those stolen reset devices inside the Otherspace place of the TVA... or whereever the Time Keepers are.
Weird easter egg:
In the elevator scene between Mobius and Loki the music in the background is the same as what the orchestra plays in Avengers 1 where Loki goes to Germany...I think.
I think it’s just his theme 🤷♂️
its not
I love how "End of File" can be rearranged as "End of Life"
It can also be rearranged as "Dine of Elf"
I paused as the film spool finished and it said ETH 616 and Loki Laufeyson 😁😁😁
Honestly when that "I'm not a robot" reCAPTCHA thing pooped up, my first reaction was to tick the box. Have I been programmed to do that? Am I a robot? Are any of us real?
Nah, everyone knows robots cant tick those boxes.
@@averagejoe9040 but if we tell them to tick a box, and convince themselves they did
@@TupocalypseShakur nah, they cant do it because the box says "I am not a robot". How could a robot tic the box
Thanks Collings, James, Maso, Ben anyone else involved for making all this content. It really does brighten my day.
Chuffed to hear Master Yoda mate, hope you're having a good one.
@@rawcollings Thanks mate, you too!
Is the 'Sacred Timeline', where everything is predetermined, just a big meta thing about Feige being the lizard man at the top?
Damnit, had the same take but you beat me to it ;)
I loved that first monologue Loki does about the illusion of power, i could tell he was talking about himself deep down and loved when they came back to it later, great start to the show
The editing when they mention acaptain marvel level chameo and it's charlie day yelling carol got me :')
Suprised no ones mentioned how much “The good place” esqu this show feels.
The D.B. Cooper thing definitely should’ve been a mission the TVA sent him on in, like, episode 3. That would’ve made way more sense.
You guys should talk about how the screenwriter came from Rick and Morty, is writing Doctor Strange 2 and will write the Kevin Feige Star Wars movie.
Rick and Morty is terrible
@@calebtheowl1516 Season 1 is pretty good, great even. Then its downhill from there.
@@calebtheowl1516 all four seasons of Rick and Morty are fantastic. There is no debate on this.
@@calebtheowl1516 hating on the popular thing is not a character trait.
@@buckaroobanzai7063 Eeehhhh overall the whole show is good, individual episodes are debatable. For all the fun of the premise the Avengers episode comes off as kinda flat and cynical.
7:15 Film theory here. Get ready, I’m gonna blow your minds. We as the audience are viewing each Marvel film as the time keepers do. So, we see the MCU from the perspective of the time keepers. That’s why the studio was too lazy to film scenes from the first Avengers in a different way. They’re geniuses.
thats what i was thinking too
But how are THEY and us seeing it? It's clearly not from Loki's memory database since only one scene is from his point of view. Do they have hidden cameras? Can they just see everything from any angle ever in some unexplainable way? Probably the latter I assume.
No, because they see time as a circle. They see how it all should be.
@@92brunod Magic, technology, etc,
@@exzyyd392 some unexplainable way as I said.
What if the evil variant is our Loki from the future after he finds out how evil the TVA is?
I think it's evil Lady Loki
It's 1000% Lady Loki, but you could still be right.
I thought I was funny how Loki immediately freaks out and rejects that the TVA decides people's lives saying its wrong, but his whole big speech was literally how free will and freedom are a lie that he wants to save people from by controlling them.
Well, a) Loki wants free will for himself, obviously not for the people he wanted to rule, and b) he's a Trickster, and he admitted that a lot of what he tells people or the personas he shows to the world are lies, illusions, deceptions.
We should make a distinction between "free will" and "free decision". If you find yourself in a situation where all your option to choose from are shit, you still have your free will to pick one, or do nothing (which is also a choice). When Loki yelled at the people of Stuttgart to kneel and submit to him, he did not take away their free will, he only limited their choices to "obey or get killed". The Chitauri sceptre with the Mind Stone, however, _that_ thing takes away free will by mind controlling people, or rather it twists their worldview so they work for the wielder's goals but they can still decide how to go about fulfilling the orders given.
But the TVA... they take away Free Will indirectly in a perversely sadistic way. "Oh," they tell you, "you _can_ make that decision, go down that path. But if you do, we will erase this You and start over with another You that might be more obedient, until you take the path we want you to take, Robert Frost be damned. And we won't tell you which path is the sacred correct one, have fun finding out!"
My favorite part about these recap videos is just how much mental gymnastics we are going to do to *STRECH* the John Krasinski cameo!
How else is here only for the mooning Loki gnome? Rob, the hero we need but don't deserve.
Everyone seems to look over the fact that the variant they are hunting is after the reset charges.
Another bet with Thor, probably
What do you mean “after the reset charges”? Didn’t they say in the church that the variant had been stealing all of the charges?
@@wobblecrash thats exactly what OP said...
@@blueparkerprime I’m dumb, I read it as “after the charges had been set off”, I was thinking of the “after” that relates to time. Not the “after” that means “in pursuit of something”
I reckon, given the lack of magic and power, that maybe reset charges are the only weapon against the TVA
I wish we could see random X-Men characters just walking through the TVA
Characters like Bishop and Cable and their related characters
Josh brolin cable especially would make for a great little gag
Those 2 actually make sense to be there..
@@kalebjudd9559 Last episode twist, that time-traveling mutant with a technovirus, is actually just some guy named Derek Erection.
Also, where we left off Deadpool, he was out there screwing with timelines too.
Maybe have them reference Nimrod
I'll bet that the version, (or, "Variant,") of Loki that Mobius wants this Loki's help with stopping turns out to eventually be this Variant of Loki, in the end.
He's able to cause all the chaos he's causing, killing Agents and time keepers in various time periods because he is the very same Loki that Mobius decided to try and enlist, only it eventually goes wrong somehow.
Further on, in the TVA world's future, this Variant of Loki goes crazy or Rogue or something, and somehow starts influencing moments in the past even for the TVA, (with help from everything he originally learned from Mobius himself, which are the events we're watching,) and it's created some kind of temporal, "loop," that will eventually have to be broken by somebody coming back to warn Mobius to NOT recruit Loki to begin with.
I know lol it's a mind-bender, but that's where I'm putting my theoretical, "chips," down. ✌
Edit;
Also, I want to know how that other dude screwed up the, "sacred timeline," lol you know what I mean?
He's clearly just a mouthy as F nerdy hacker video game kid who probably still lives in his parent's basement or something, what kind of havoc could he have possibly caused to end up on trial at the TVA?!?
(There's a story there, I'm telling you!) 😇✌

I thought the same thing because it is sort of cliche but I have also heard it could be lady loki
Haha "Lady Loki" lol that's the new "Mephisto." 😂
Loki: This place is a nightmare.
Mobius: That's another department. I'd help you destroy that department. 🤔🤔🤔
Maybe Mobius knows somethings wrong with the whole tva and wants loki to destroy it.
@Meta Man That doesn't really disapprove this theory. The main Loki and "Lady Loki" could easily be the same person, just choosing to look different (maybe in order to throw the TVA off).

13:15 awwww man. Eugene Cordero is one of my favorite actors since I saw him in Silicon Valley as the grocery store clerk. He's in Kong Skull Island. I know he's a bit actor but I always love when he pops up. He won't be "that guy" some day considering the movies and shows he's been in.
The shot of Loki sitting up in the desert was nearly identical to Ironman escaping the cave..... which in itself is a fairly obvious metaphor.
Or was that a teaser trailer thing that has been talked about to death a bunch, and I'm just catching up?
Favorite part of the episode was when Casey was like “what’s a fish?!” Made me laugh so hard I don’t know why just was so random
my favorite part of the video is that the greatest editor of all time (that’s right the GEOAT) synced up Owen Wilson’s wow with James’ wow.
I love how the tva mention how if there wasn't a single timeline, there would be madness. Multiverse of madness is shaping up to be infinity war level effects on the mcu
Here’s my theory, Loki goes on in the show and destroys the timeline which creates branches of multiple realities. In doing so it creates multiple universes where certain things occur which could lead to the multiverse of madness movie where doctor strange has to deal with the varying degrees of reality deformation. Also this could lead to bad guys like Kang the Conqueror because it seems like Kang wouldn’t be as powerful because of the Power of the TVA so it would be plausible to think that if the sacred timeline were destroyed, someone like Kang could become a powerful being and cause a lot of chaos do to their being no TVA in the equation. One reason I think Loki might end up destroying the timeline is because I don’t think they’d kill his character but by the rules of the sacred timeline he’d have to be killed either by thanos or by the TVA and destroying the timeline creates a loop hole where he can create his own destiny.
Everytime they used the time reset gadget on Loki all i could hear in my head was " it's in the way that you use it"
I really enjoy the setting of the show a real retro throwback like old school comics. I also like how they kept that take if the one guy who may have messed up his line and stuttered. Makes it more real.
The true villain is actually a variant of Loki played by John Krasinksi
I don’t get all these John Krasinski memes, what did I miss? 😂
@@ProperBadger it’s basically because a lot of peoples dream casting for Reed Richards was John Krasinki and it’s become a meme on this channel as James and mason made fun of it a lot.
@@maismade6013 At this point I hope they cast Dwight as Reed just to hurt people lol
Or Matt Damon, like in the play in Ragnarok.
@@maismade6013 holy smokes john would be s great casting choice actually
Loki’s got a look of shock on his face when he sees the reset grenade going off in Mongolia, what if those just wipe the timeline? What if the TVA ARE the villains?
Look at the animation insert for the ticket scene again. They are clearly erasing timelines.
I think the Time Keepers are the true villains.
I don't think that was ever in question. That's explicitly what they are there to do; erase the variant timeline that was branched off. Cap erased timelines/universes when he returned the stones to their origins as well.
The TVA is so obviously erasing ENTIRE timelines and that’s what the other variant Loki is going to reveal to Loki turning him against them
Not just an entire timeline but the universe that goes with it….Thanos only took half of all life in the universe…the TVA takes everything!

Yes, the Multiverse War is a lie, or rather it’s still happening and the TVA are the main aggressors, looking to destroy every other timeline by pruning branches one by one. I’m pretty certain of this theory, which probably means it’s completely wrong seeing as I’m 0 for 2 in terms of guessing the truth behind Disney+ shows so far...
Is not the other variant female loki?
@@chriswyatt9869 I think so but I’ll be honest I’m waiting till I actually see her to confirm cause I don’t want to be wrong lol 😂
This episode was so good, I love how this show will defiantly have bigger ramifications for the MCU. The fact that those infinity stones were just paper weights was crazy.
John Wayne once said "Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway." and I think in the Loki series we'll see Loki face himself literally and metaphorically. Crabs can only move horizontally and, like Loki, cannot move forward, but I think in this series we'll finally see him reach that point we got a glimpse at in Infinity War. Sin and pride have daunted him his whole life as a god, but now he'll need to face himself. Ski lifts are a terrifying way to reach the top of a mountain and, like Loki in Loki, are a journey that is dangerous and frightening, but ends in a good result. Is Loki on a ski lift journey? In which he moves forward unlike a crab? Loki will bring many surprises ahead. Confirmed, reading the first word of every sentence in this will shock you.
4:38 well played Collings, I saw that butt fly through time and space exactly how the universe intended it to
I liked the part where Loki visited John krasinski and he started stretching when he saw Loki and said “look at me my limbs are stretching oh no”
IIRC in the comics the Time Keepers were born 'at the end of time', so their motivation for controlling the time line is basically to ensure their own existence. There are also alternate timelines where they become the (even more) bad guy 'Time Twisters', so they're trying to avoid that too. Whether any of that has any relevance to this series is another matter, of course.
One of things I like about this first episode is that it showed us that the MCU (for now at least) is done with the infinity stones. By showing us and Loki that the TVA are so powerful that the stones are just meaningless rocks.
Is the “multiverse war” a reference to the earlier decades when it was Sony vs new line vs fox vs whatever else and Disney is the actual time lords making it one streamlined universe?
You gotta stretch before you reach that far
That’s what it sounded like to me;l, whether intentional or not, it sounded as if the “time keepers” were marvel and the “sacred timeline” is the mcu.
And lord feige come out and created one timeline 😂
What if the three gods are representations of Disney, Sony, and Fox?
@@Itsgriffeys what if Disney, Sony, and Fox actually represent Mephisto?
I like how they remembered the fact that Infinity Stones don’t work outside the universe they are created. Not a lot of newer fans knew that and were really shocked to see them so useless.
What's the difference in a timeline or universe? Cause Bruce and Tony both use infinity stones from another timeline and they work
@@Niall487 it’s from the same universe, just a different time in the universe. It’s basically the same movie, only a different timestamp. That’s all they did.
I don’t think it was they didn’t work cause the universe plot device but because of the TVA because 1) the workers didn’t even know what they were 2) they don’t even need them there which Loki realized seeing they had so many the tva doesn’t even need to use them or could cancel their power
@@andrehenderson7820 the workers didn’t know what fish were so going off of what they know isn’t the best benchmark. They probably only know how to do their job and not much else. The TVA is probably a nexus reality or nexus location where it is a different universe that the stones cannot work. Like i said.
I’m pretty sure in the MCU, the stones didn’t work because the TVA exists outside of space and time.
What I loved about this show was is it completely re levels the power scale in this universe in this episode
It was crazy to see John Krasinski at the end of the 1st episode. It was even crazier when he was all like: "I am Reed Richards and my wife, Emily Blunt, is Sue Storm." Just crazy.
"There's always a bigger guy..." Oh hell, the MCU is about to become DragonBallZ.
Always has been
Well yeah, the comics have been like that forever.
Marvel has been doing that longer than dragonballz
was thinking the same thing. They've bee raising their power levels right along as they go. Iron man and thor in particular. They evolved into strongest versions of themselves going into infinity war.
@@bdonovable oh yeah you know just like how it is in the original stories these movies came from, but what a SuRpRiSe
Prediction: The end of Loki will open up the possible alternate timelines that will be explored in 'What If'
Whoa! And a potential "Multiverse of Madness?"
That whole scene with the infinity stones and Lokis reaction to it felt so beautiful and artistic its hard to believe Marvel made it
MCU designation is Earth-199999 not Earth-616. If the device shown Earth-616, then Endgame Avengers from Earth-199999 not going back in time but goes to an alternate Earth freeing this 616-Loki. The MCU-Loki still continues his timeline to his death which this 616-Loki watch via the Time Theatre. A clue is Capt from the first scene acts differently from Endgame Earth-199999...
Maybe the real Loki is the one killing the friends we will make along the way.
Dont the reset things technically kill everything in that timeline that branched out?
I can’t help but appreciate how soon you get these videos out, keep it up lads
As soon as Loki saw his father say he loved him, I got everything I ever wanted out of this show. Everything else is just gravy now. I do have a question, though: Could Loki ever go back to his original time line? Not like back to 2012, but to 2024 or whenever Thor heads off for Love and Thunder. I just want him to be back with his brother!!!
Do you think Loki will find his way back to the original timeline and be in Thor Four: The Fourth Thor?
They already said he won't be in Love and Thunder, but they're inevitably gonna reunite at some point in the future
@@jakewhite5767 Chris Hemsworth says he’ll keep playing Thor for as long as Marvel let him, Tom Hiddleston seems keen to stay on board too so it’d be strange if they’re kept apart. I think Marvel will probably tease it for a while though, to maximise the impact when it does happen
I mean, the way it's shaping up, we're gonna have some multiverse insanity for a few movies, so there's a bunch of ways he can return.
God I hope not. I like Loki but I honestly don’t know how many times the character can have this one arc.
Definitely. Thor on his own is kinda boring. He needs Loki as his counter, either as Thor's antagonist or (as in Ragnarok) sarcastic banter provider to Thor's more straight-laced personality.
And what would b et he point of bringing back a new Loki if they don't have him interact with Thor or with other MCU main characters? Sadly, Tony Stark is still dead so my hope to see more Loki/Tony snarky banter is crushed.
Thank you! TVA is evil! The "reset" grenades are a Thanos snap for the entire variant universe.
@RivEx and they’re ran by John Krasinski
@@elderrusty541 who is playing Mephisto
@@LtDragonfruit and also Reed Richards
@@elderrusty541 but is actually Dave Bohner, Ralph's brother, under a spell
I love how you mention your previous reviews in videos! Making a cinematic universe of your own 😁
I like that the mephisto theory is actually shot down by the kid and the stain glass window. The blue tongue/mouth from the sweets links to the devil on the stain glass window who also has a blue tongue. The Loki variant was probably eating the sweets too which also gave him the blue tongue/mouth.
Question to the host and anyone reading: is anyone getting some hardcore Walt Disney's vision of EPCOT from the TVA?
It’s seem the time keepers(TVA) are doing whatever they can to keep the multiverse from happening. No alternative timelines or anything. I’m guessing during the multiverse war the timekeepers found a way to become powerful/in charge. For them to keep said power they have to make sure the multiverse doesn’t happen. But this alternate Loki is trying to start a multiverse and destroy the time keepers
I can guess that the alternate loki's plan is to gather enough of the charges to actually threaten the existence of the "sacred timeline" and force the Time Keepers to create the multiverse. Since they can destroy variant timelines, maybe you can set them to affect the normal one. Perhaps setting them at the center of celestial existence aka Vormir would hit the hardest, thus forcing their hand because either all of reality falls apart or a multiverse of madness is allowed to reign. Cant wait.
On Loki’s form it reads Sector 1900-2099 (2099 being the date of the possible future timeline)
other youtube reviewers that have become drunk with negativity are toxic AF! happy you two are here to still have fun with reviews and enjoy life.
Honestly, I'm so impressed they remembered he's actually a Frost Giant. The later movies seemed to have let that go. He never turns blue anymore or demonstrates any frost powers :(
Well, he did turn blue when he died, but that may have been from the strangling.
Except when he desperately tried to stab Thanos with an ice dagger at the start of Avengers: Infinity War, got killed, and his skin turned sort of grey-blue...
I think that “Casey” fellow starred in a couple “Tim & Eric” skits.
I had such a blast watching this first episode of Loki. Marvel writers are brilliant.
12:41 Qui-Gon: There’s always a bigger fish.
Casey: What’s a fish?
Also, the D.B. Cooper hijacking happened in 1971.
I did like that Loki watched his own death and then scoffed "glorious purpose" because at the time when infinity war came out his death seemed so pathetic for how big of a character he was/is, so maybe that was marvel's way of acknowledging that
I really liked it, watching a second time right now.
I would have enjoyed seing something from earlier in Lokis life during his greatest hits and not just from the mcu. They maybe could've done the gag with the snake story from ragnarog, that would've been fun, but required CH.
I also thought only a few notes from the DB Cooper case was found, it seems more than a few would be found with that amount descending to the ground like that. I also would have liked it to be more than a flashback.
In the church they talk about "him" and stab wounds. Is that another Loki variant other than Sophia DM? That actor Grant something maybe?
I really enjoyed the desk guy as well. He's fun and I hope he has a few more scenes.
At the height that money was falling from, those bills probably landed all over the state, never mind the ones that ended up in trees and rivers or lining birds nests lol
@@doomstadt2371 lol, true
I like to imagine that the MCU movies are just all those events from the TVA's perspective, camera angles and all
I like the theory that the Time Keepers will lose their grip on the timeline, resulting in multiple timelines and for free will to finally be a thing. Loki did talk about choice in this episode and how he didn’t like it, so it’d be cool for him to be involved in finally allowing the universe to have the ability to make choices.
My guess, Richard E Grant is a variation of Loki. Maybe God King Loki.
Maybe there’s a council of Loki’s
I keep forgetting Richard E Grant is in this since he hasn’t been in any marketing material
@@elitepower4057 either that or (the more unlikely but my favourite option), has a secret Doctor Doom or Mephisto
@Meta Man oh yeah no doubt about that. But just imagine the possibility
The Shield team could so easily be brought in to Loki. They made at least 3 separate timelines in their own show, so why not say the TVA went and corrected it after the show ended
Becasue ignoring that show is the best decision the MCU ever made lol
@Stellvia Hoenheim feige doesn't hate the series.
They were pretty heavy handed with the Mephisto references. Straight up mentioned a devil bearing gifts after pointing at a big red demon. They know what they're doing
Came here to hear you speak of a timeloop, surprised this wasn't mentioned: I think the "other" Loki is THIS Loki, a "Predestination" plot line. Mobius recruits Loki, Loki learns about the time lords and is enraged by the idea of no free will and figures he must end them. He starts stealing reset charges bcs this is a part of that plan (means to get to them, or maybe means to reset the "sacred timeline" itself?)
