Hey everyone.

Bet you didn’t follow me to hear me talk about Loki, but here we are. It’s time to hear how I feel. Spoilers beneath the cut, as always.

First off; I loved Kang. I sincerely, purely loved him. I was pleased seeing him, I liked how he was doing his own thing.

Secondly; INCREDIBLE acting. Purely phenomenal shit. The eyes that Tom Hiddleston and Sophia Di Martino were able to do that purely just conveyed every heartbreaking emotion underneath was breathtaking. You could see their inner turmoil through every piece of the episode and I loved it. Heartbreak? Don’t know ‘em.

Owen Wilson and Gugu Mbatha-Raw were incredible as well. Mobius’ confrontation with Ravonna was tense and filled with his compassion and hope for better and Ravonna’s stubborness to get what she wanted in the end, and her final words before she walked through the gateway sent little shivers down my spine.

All in all; the acting was phenomenal. Kang was such a delight to watch; his disregard and unconcern punctured by moments of desperation and brief, sizzling anger was honestly a show to watch, along with his casual attitude. I loved him. I loved the other actors. They’re all amazing.

Okay. Now we get deeper.

Overall, the finale was not... good. At least, in my opinion.

I feel a great way to look at this would be to compare this to Wandavision, as the two will probably be involved in similar issues in the future of the MCU.

Wandavision had a conclusion. The story had a way to end that arc and show, while leaving bits and pieces open to spiral into a new thing, keeping us on our toes while also feeling fulfilled, knowing that it had ended for the time, that there was more to come, that the characters had prevailed for the moment, even if evil was still lingering.

This finale did not. Not only was there basically no good action whatsoever, something that Marvel has done for a long, long time and is a rather central piece to the universe, but there was no close or finish. And while I acknowledge it will be in preparation for Season 2, which I will expand on later, there was endless talking, barely punctured by Loki and Sylvie fighting for less than I had expected.

Kang talked. And talked. There was too much waiting, and while I understand the importance of tension, there was too little. Silence filled the void where there should’ve been something more.

Now, onto things that are slightly more positive/complimenting

Mobius and B-15 were doing something. I have basically no criticism about their parts they played, it was good to see them working together to free the workers of the TVA.

The fight/talk between Loki and Sylvie was very good. I liked it. The way Loki was trying to get her to actually just wait a minute and talk with him is something I unfortunately relate to.

And the kiss... several episodes ago I would’ve been a lot more upset. I understand it was a way for Sylvie to get him away from her with Kang’s device, but either way, I accepted last episode that I would have no control over this, that it’s more about self-acceptance and love more than anything, and that, in the end, this is all just fiction, and nothing matters. No, I’m not depressed, why would you ask.

The ending made me really damn upset, though. It hurts a lot. Loki doesn’t get a break. If you remember, this takes place DIRECTLY after Avengers. Only a few days ago, probably, Loki got away with the Tesseract after losing to the Avenger, found out he wasn’t meant to exist, and shoved into this situation with barely any other explanation.

And it hurts after knowing he made two friends, who he liked and trusted; Sylvie, who he cares about so deeply, and Mobius, his friend, who chose to trust his word and was going to take the TVA down for him, and Sylvie betrayed him by pushing him away, and now Mobius doesn’t even remember him. The angst is oncoming forever. I feel horrible for him

And then we have the second season.

Which at this point, I await, but I won’t hold my breath for. While interested to see the direction they’ll take the show in, I have to say I’ve drawn back a little from the idea. Excited for it? Yes. Awaiting it? Not... necessarily.

“Did you actually like the finale, though?” one might ask. Well, meh. Very in the middle. It felt rushed, and didn’t leave me satisfied.

Though I will revert to what I said before; this is fiction. In the end, I have no control over a multi-million dollar corporation who makes stories up for money, and I need to accept that.

For now, I linger in the depths with my fellow writers, fixing this with fanfiction.

Mad respect to the actors, though, I really appreciate them more than they could ever know for doing this so well.

And that’s a wrap, folks. I will now go see what others are thinking.

I've been reading fics with Loki in them because I love him. And I notice something every single one I've read does. They blame Loki for the bomb that was sent to destroy NYC when he attacked. Yeah it's kinda his fault, but now we also know that he was being controlled and tortured by Thanos. So, like can we stop with that? Thanks.

LOKI SERIES SPOILERS

NOTE:

Hey, y'all! Just so you know, I actively ship Lokius, but I am in no way going to put down Sylkie or those who ship it! Not that I am going to, really, post anything about it, either. I'll just remain respectfully neutral on the subject.

And let's face it, the Multiverse is so vast that EVERY ship is canon somewhere! Even all those ships that nobody thought could ever, ever happen! So I suggest that when we post about ships from now, we add the suffix -verse to the end. Lokius-verse... Sylkie-verse... Frostiron-verse... Winterwidow-verse... Stony-verse... they all exist somewhere!

But you gotta admit, Loki really did take that whole “To love others you must first love yourself” quote to heart, didn't he!

I just wanted to put some positive thoughts about the Loki series out there so I'm going to sprinkle some good Loki thoughts.

I personally love the series and I'm excited for season 2. Some things I enjoyed about the series (no order):

The wonderful cinematography in each episode. I mean it was on par with the movies and in some cases more visually appealing. For example, Lamentis is so beautiful in every scene.

Loki series in general and so much more Loki content. He didn't get his own movie, he got six episodes and an upcoming S2. I couldn't be more ecstatic at the amount of Loki content I'm getting.

Tom Hiddleston's amazing acting. His facial expressions are so wonderful, bringing so much depth and character to Loki. Everyday I think how wonderful is that he plays Loki. He puts more than 💯 effort into Loki. I'm just in awe.

The humor sprinkled in some of the episodes, like President Loki and Croki in episode 5.

The amount of Easter eggs and nods to the comics in episode 5.

Loki learning to love, accept and believe in himself.

Loki learning how to make friends.

Loki's facial expressions that say more than any words.

The kintsugi on the palace walls in episode 6 being a wonderful analogy for Loki's healing.

More Loki magic use than I've seen before.

Loki keeping that pillar/wall from falling on them.

Hair flips.

I know you all saw President Loki.

Loki has a comfort blanket.

"Love is a dagger". It is such a good anology for love.

I got to see Loki kiss someone. I know it probably isn't his first kiss but it's his first kiss that they have ever shown us. It gives me so many feels. It was so tender.

Showing that Loki is Genderfluid and Bi/Pansexual. It meant so much to me as I am both. Even if it is only shown in a small manner, I'm still grateful it was shown at all. I understand these things take time, gradual process and baby steps.

Showing that two Bisexual/Pansexual who present as opposite genders can be still a queer relationship.

Croki

Loki opening up more and showing his true emotions instead of hiding behind a facade.

TVA being similar to a symbolism for meaning to life and choices we make.

No one is truly good and no one is truly evil.

The idea of free will being more important.

The idea that you might not like something, it might hurt you even, but there is reasoning behind it and possiblity for something worse. Basically, choosing the lesser evil ideology.

Fight scenes.

Loki's character growth from Episode 1 to Episode 6.

The chaos of the trailers for the episodes not being exactly what was in the episodes. I find it humorous because of Loki and chaos in general. It was like they were playing into that.

Loki being done with himself in episode 5. I think after getting to see himself in another way, he was able to see some of the destructive things he did.

Everything I write for fanfiction is now part of a multiverse. I already saw it this way, I just like the idea a lot.

Time travel and multiverse theories. I enjoy this, it pleases my love of science.

Loki getting excited about explaining a thought that he believes to be true. Rip Mobius's salad.

Mobius being basically a stand in for Loki fans. Seeing Loki as he is and loving him anyways.

Using fan theories about why Loki didn't actually die in Infinity Wars to explain Classic Loki's story.

Loki sleeping. He looks so adorable.

Loki singing. Listening to him sing gives me life.

Very full (drunk) Loki. I would 💯 go drinking with Loki.

Loki in a suit.

Green magic.

I'm sure I missed some things. What did you all enjoy about the series? Did I miss anything you enjoyed?
