That's my thoughts. The actress isn't that good

Agree with this. A podcast I listen to was praising her performance and I was worried I'd watched a different show.

tubby · « **Reply #6561 on:** June 24, 2021, 01:04:23 pm »

I think the issue with her isn't that she's a bad actress, it's that the chemistry between Hiddleston and Wilson is so good and they can't replicate it.

I think she's pretty great : /

She's certainly not FAWS Carly bad.

Very Dr Who that episode, not great!

LiamG · « **Reply #6565 on:** June 25, 2021, 07:45:16 am »

Average episode

Next one needs to be much better

Anyone think they’ve tried to hard to force chemistry between the two?

Also think Loki is going slightly out of character from how he was in the films

Anyone else think the Disney plus shows have struggled to match a Netflix Daredevil?

reddebs · « **Reply #6568 on:** June 25, 2021, 08:45:04 am »

We've binge watched WandaVision the last 2 days. The first day up to Wanda chucking Monica out of the Hex then last night the rest.

Am I right in concluding that the original Vision is no more but the "white" Vision is likely to return in something new?

Starting on Loki today.

Looks good that. I mean it has strong Inception vibes, plus martial arts obviously and some Doctor Strange mentor stuff going on.

Of course it is pretty hard for any MCU movie to doing something very different at this point.

Feels a bit strange to have the ten rings be on the Mandarin's wrist rather than actual rings on his finger.

Also, was he fighting Tim Roth's Abomination at the end there? On second viewing it is - and seemingly against Wong from Dr Strange. Random, but interesting.

What for? I'm caught up on all this and the most recent SW content (which I assume is on there) and have never had it.

kaesarsosei · « **Reply #6574 on:** June 26, 2021, 03:49:20 pm »

I am enjoying Loki reasonably well, but the extent to which Tom Hiddleston the actor and/or Loki the character are carrying it is crazy. I mean you could have suddenly recast anyone from Wandavision or F&WS (and I do like all the main cast in those as they are), and the shows might have suffered slightly but still been fine. If you switched out Hiddleston, Loki as a show would be an unwatchable mess.

The latest episode 3 was the worst (very Dr Who, which I hate), but it was a decent cliffhanger and am still looking forward to the next.

So far my favourite thing from the 3 Disney+ shows has been John Walker/US Agent. He needs more screentime.

This all feels like the Mephisto theories in WandaVision.

I highly doubt that they're going to introduce a major new character/villain in a TV show.

Probably not but he's apparently been cast (Jonathan Majors) as the major villain for the next Ant Man which is all about the Quantum realm (which I guess links to the multiverse time travel stuff) so probably a bit more likely than people thinking Wandavision was going to introduce Mephisto, the Fantastic Four and the silver surfer and Falcon and Winter Soldier was about to debut Wolverine and the X-Men

yes I doubt very much we will see Kang in this series but with him coming soon to the movies I would not be surprised if he is hinted at or talked of in Loki with then some small teasers in upcoming movies. Similar to how Thanos was introduced. My theory is that Kang created the TVA alone to keep the timelines how he wants them, maybe he lost everything during a multiverse war so went back in time to prevent a multiverse

Black Widow getting good reviews.

Think I will pay for it on Disney+. I love the cinema but I also love the ability to pause a film and go for a piss or to the fridge at my own leisure.

Got my tickets booked for cinema. Just cant beat it for me. But i think working from home 6 days a week makes it real tough to properly switch off in the evenings so cinema helps that

Oh and make sure you stick around at the end of episode 4, there's a mid-credit scene.

Much better episode, fighting is still a bit shite but not the biggest problem to have. Interested to see where the last 2 episodes go

Loved todays episode.

Great episode of Loki today. Really smart stuff.

Spoiler

As somone predicted The Time Guardians were dodgy all along. I hope they have the balls to unveal a major villain at the end of this show, that would be really cool. As hinted above, someone is messing with the timelines to suit their own ends...

Makes sense.

also, these variants of Loki... they are from different universes right? I was first thinking Sylvie was a future version of Loki as in at some point Loki turns to a woman
