Has a Men In Black feel to the show, but more serious. I can see that. My impression is that it has an Umbrella Academy feel to it 😎 Not what I was expecting. Very stylistic. I’ve always hated the Loki character, loved the actor though. I’ll watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Loki had a but of Legion vibe in its weird, WTF is going on vibe. The twist at the end was pretty unexpected. It seems like there is another hit for Marvel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Using a villainous lead character to muse on the nature of villainy and heroism. Marvel Studios kills it when they do character studies. I'm starting to think that these tv miniseries are their strongest format. Loki, Vision, and Captain America and even Thor to a lesser extent, are particularly difficult characters to portray well. They can be so cringey in lesser hands, but Marvel Studios gave them love and care and created the best versions of the characters that I've seen. Definitely with Loki, Vision, and Steve Rogers anyway. Loki is usually super fruity and downright silly, but he has always had such great potential as a character. Hiddleston's Loki is the best. Brings human complexity to him and he can do all of the melodramatic flash that defines the character, but convey it with just the right mix of winking self aware irony and actual gravitas. It's impressive. He was kind of limited to scene stealing support roles before, I'm glad they gave him his own show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I'm unsure where you get that they've done a great job with Vision. I still feel like I don't know a thing about him. Can't even tell you what his power is. (Maybe if I could slog through the cheesiness of Wandavision, that would change.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Yes I suspect that if you watch the nine episode miniseries they made about his character that you would learn about him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in essence, you said “I don’t know how anyone could say any show I haven’t watched did a good job with Vision.” That’s some Trump-level reasoning right there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, maybe it's "I've seen him in what, three movies, and don't know him."? I know more about Hawkeye or Black Widow than him. Without watching a spinoff series on either of them. But y'all are right.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 He was in 15 minutes of Ultron which was his origin, had a nice appearance in Civil War where he makes his belief system clear and then dies in Infinity War. So he didn’t have a chance to do too much until he got more screen time and focus in WV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I personally have not found Loki to be anywhere near as good as Wandavision or Falcon and Winter Soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki is ok. Honestly, these shows can’t beat Season 1 of Daredevil and even Jessica Jones. If I were to rank the shows: Falcon and Winter Soldier Loki ****WandaVision I know others would rank it the other way.

The Evil Genius Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 DD S1 and S2 are phenomenal. Wasn't a huge JJ fan because the comics did it (Purple Man) better. Punisher S1 was also legit. I liked Wandavision but it started slow. At least it's a one off and moved her story significantly. Haven't finished Winter Soldier. Not impressed with the story but I've heard it gets better. Need to finish it before I start Loki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I'm fully in on Loki after the last two episodes and will probably go back and rewatch the first few episodes before the finale. It's gotten very interesting. If it sticks the landing i might put Loki at the top of the three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I remember when Disney acquired Marvel, making the statement that "If anybody knows how to turn decades-old intellectual property into a revenue stream, it's Disney". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
