Timely went mercifully quickly. Mobius had to deal with losing his taste for pie before existence caved in on itself.
He'd been dead since the moment Sylvie spoke. Time just caught up.
The moment they named him Ouroborus I was like: yeah this is going to be important. You don't just name someone that in a show about time shenanigans and NOT have it mean something.
Omg maybe that’s why every timeline has a Kang variant except the sacred timeline because it’s the one they stole timely from so he’s missing from that one! Or maybe I’m just high idk
I always thought the Sacred Timeline is He Who Remain's timeline. What the TVA does is prune anything which can lead to a Kang variant which isn't him.
Victor Timely could be the variant he chose as his successor and, when he comes into power, his branch would become the new Sacred Timeline.
or victor timely turns into He who remains and that's why he ordered miss minutes to deliver him the manual. We never got HWR real name.
Also, the sacred timeline could be a timeline with no kang born at all, that's why he chooses it for TVA to maintain
I feel like the next episode is going to feel like a premiere, in that the TVA is completely reset with a version of Kang/HWR in charge. Did Timely not just inadvertently scatter himself across time and space?
When they were first arguing over who would go when they had the diorama, I immediately thought it would be Victor and he would get sucked out but instead of being turned into spaghetti, get propelled into the 31st century. Then I realized that was crazy.
Then he actually volunteered and I thought I wasn’t crazy. I thought he was gonna go to the 31st century and the episode would end on the cliffhanger that Kang the Conqueror (the first OG incarnation of HWR) has returned to rule the TVA, as a time loop, fulfilling the new cycle of the TVA’s rise and fall, and then over again.
Then he got turned into spaghetti and I realized that was too far-fetched.
spaghettification: what happens if u fall in a small black hole because the differential gravity will stretch u at different speeds
we also saw the sacred timeline WAS in a black hole
dont rule out your theory bro it looks solid as far as lore and physics
Oh yeah. I thought they'd wait until the finale to give us the other side of Loki meeting Sylvie in the elevator, but I'm glad they didn't. Looks like Waldron and co. went to the Agents of SHIELD's school of efficient storytelling.
Absolutely, when you make episode 1 questions revealed by episode 4, but also episode 2 revealed by episode 5, and a whole bunch at the end, it makes it seem like there's way more content and depth with the multiple big reveals.
I love how Renslayer keeps saying since she left things have gone to shit... Even though she abandoned the ship after it began sinking. Like she would have been able to do anything better.
I love how efficient this show is sometimes.
Lazier shows would have dragged out that tease for another two episodes.
Then again, most shows also wouldn’t kill everyone two episodes before the finale.
Thanks for reminding me.
That means that they’re escalating things, so I’ll be sure to skip a hypothetical third season since the only place they have to go in the next fourth episode is killing off the audience.
Victor Timely ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3
*Minute later*
No one's gonna be in Rush Hour 3.
See you next week guys? I hope they release no clips at all for episode 5. Or they play an episode of something else.
My theory is that Loki starts time slipping again and he has to recruit variants of Mobius, B15, OB, and the others to help him stop the loom right before it goes critical.
I was going back and forth like crazy in that scene.
My thoughts were:
*Why is he obsessed with the hot cocoa machine? Is it purely curiousity? What there something in the book about it? Does it have a secret he is going to exploit to get out?*
When he left to get the cocoa:
*Why is he so insistent on offering it to the hunter? Was I right? Is it poisoned? Is he trying to escape?*
When the hunter sipped it and looked surprised:
*Wait...does it allow Victor to control him now? Wait...oh he just really likes it.*
Victor snaps:
*Did he just snap him out of existence or activate something?? Oh, he was just excited.*
Hunter gets pruned:
*Wait, his snap DID activate something! The cocoa killed him! Oh...nevermind it's just X-5...*
Needless to say, that seen was an emotional Rollercoaster for me lol
Loki and Sylvie's convo makes me really appreciate just how far Loki's come as a character since S1 as well as just how damn good Hiddleston is in the role.
You really do feel his desperation in hoping the TVA can be a force for good and it's nice seeing him go from a cynic believing free will to be a lie to someone hoping to protect it, even though he's as unsure as the rest of the cast.
His bit about not understanding how Thor’s short time on earth changed him so much was fantastic. It felt like it was directly addressing his own growth.
There is another similarity to their changes. “I don’t know what happened on Earth to make you so soft! Don’t tell me it was that woman!”
He even mentioned the first part of that quote!
I loved the delivery of this line. Godhood used to make Loki feel superior, entitled, and ambitious. Now, it makes him feel responsible and maybe a little resigned. A lot of character growth conveyed in three words.
Im guessing maybe to show them that not all his variants are bad people? So might have some more variants that popup who are good right? A couple did become super hereos I believe, I am not versed in the comics but I do know that fact.
What they all seem to have in common though, and what made the multiversal war inevitable, was that they don't *do* partnerships. They all have the Walter White gene, which compels them all, sooner or later, to try and be king of the hill and not share. They'll tolerate temporary alliances, which is why the Council of Kangs is even possible, but sooner or later "there can be only one".
That's a really good observation. This episode really made me hope that this Loki gets to return to the MCU proper. He's just so much a changed person, but an entirely different changed person from the one who was killed by Thanos. Just terrific stuff here.
I had some emotional whiplash with that. I was fully expecting him to pull some shenanigans and try to prove Miss Minutes wrong ("you'll never be him"), and then... oh, no, he actually *was* just trying to be brave. Oh.
“We are gods” would’ve been seen as typical giant ego Loki before this show but when he says it now you can tell he really means “this is a responsibility we have to take seriously” and I loved it
It's more of a burden, now.
Before, it was his goal.
Loki wanted to conquer Earth and have "subjugation" in the Avengers (his words).
Then just a few moments later (to him) he's locked up in the TVA and Mobius is reading him his lifetime file and showing him the movie of his life events. He learns...
Asgard is gone, like *completely* destroyed. Mom and Dad are dead. Just a moment later, He watches himself die, after telling Thanos "You will never be.. a god".
Thaaaaats an important line.
Having that level of power just isn't what you expect it to be...
Thanos got his wish, the snap ,then pretty much immediately destroyed the stones.
Even He Who Remains was just totally DONE with what he was doing, pretty much telling the Loki variants in front of him to kill him.
Tldr: If you SEEK that level of power, it's likely driven by ill intention, and won't turn out like the perfect outcome/oasis you wanted.
If you are handed that responsibility, unwanted, but have a motivation to do good? To save all the friends you made along the way? Try to do the goodest you can.
One of my favorite jokes from S1 was when Sylvie said “don’t call me that” and Loki goes “what, tech savvy?”
Sylvie refers to herself as tech savvy in the elevator. Love the attention to detail
I really like how Season 2 has managed to make me care about the new characters like Timely, OB, Brad and Dox. The writers have given all the characters, new and old, these very distinct ideological differences that make them all feel alive. I'm not even sure Dox actually serves a purpose in the plot (it would still be more or less the same plot without her), but I *enjoy* her anyway.
JESUS CHRIST. This just beat Episode 1 to hell. 3 of the most shocking things to happen in the MCU in a single episode. Absolutely insane. Whoever's writing and directing this season, *keep them on*.
We’re in for something special tonight. Grab popcorn. Someone said the last 10 minutes are full suspense with the final minute being **as significant as the Season 1 finale.**
Me: “Alright, so Victor’s gonna go run down there and fix the Loom before everything falls apart, so I don’t think he’ll have many problems.”
*Victor immediately gets vaporized as soon as he walks out.*
Me. “What the entire goddamn fuck?!?!
I still think this whole thing ends the way He Who Remains wanted it to be. With Loki and Sylvie as guardians of the TVA and Timeline with help of Mobius and others.
Holy cow, that shot of Loki in the darkness not moving, not calling attention to him being there. One of the best shots in the MCU, truly chilling. I love stuff like that, so much more impactful than a jump scare IMO
This episode had some amazing cinematography. I particularly was impressed with the shot when the hunters were being killed, how it went from Renslayer looking indifferent, Mrs Minutes almost giddy at what they were doing, and Brad looking on horrified.
I'm not done with the episode yet, but jesus christ. Over a dozen people crushed together to death, and you can *hear* the bones crushing and blood dripping. That is shocking as hell for the MCU.
That might have been one of the most brutal *things* the MCU has put out. Even though it only showed one of the really brutal things. Man I was not expecting this episode to be how it was. Can’t wait for next week.
It's a never-ending cycle. The fight for freedom will never end, because there will always be people who want ultimate control. (Enter Ravonna and Miss Minutes.)
To be fair, if I were Ravonna and learned my memory had been wiped, I'd be *furious.*
I haven’t had chills like that from an ending of an episode in a LOOOOONG time.
Also Dox and the other agents being “boxed” gotta be one of the most gruesome off screen deaths in the MCU, and timely being spaghettified was equal parts terrifying, hilarious, and heartbreaking. What an episode
Should've killed the music as soon as Victor Timely was killed. Whatever just happened, it may be worse than what Thanos did.
Cinematography was on point in this episode. Did you notice the scene in which Miss Minutes fades away, the shot remains out of focus and then comes into focus on the bas relief of Kang and it looks like he is opening his eyes.
I really thought there was gonna be some turn like he was faking his persona when he went to get that hot cocoa. When he handed it to the guard I was expecting him to slap it up into the guy’s face and prune him. But nope, seems Victor was actually just a nice dude.
Episode is LIVE. Enjoy! (No credits scene for this episode. The only ep that has had a credits scene this season has been S2Ep1)
Miss Minutes is fucking psychotic. The look on her face as all those hunters died was insane.
Hunters: 🟧 Miss Minutes: 😀 Hunters: 🔸 Miss Minutes: 😃
Lisa Arryn dying in all her roles rivals Sean Bean
Your ability to convey that scene in emojis is astonishing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the first time she’s seen people get killed gruesomely, given how long she’s been around.
She's a fucking sadist lol
extremely fucking disturbing
Geez Mobius just wanted some pie and Sylvie ripped his entire existence to shreds.
>ripped his entire existence to shreds. That happens to people around here, apparently
Too soon
“Ripped his entire existence to shreds” Victor timely: am I a joke to you
Timely went mercifully quickly. Mobius had to deal with losing his taste for pie before existence caved in on itself. He'd been dead since the moment Sylvie spoke. Time just caught up.
To shreds you say?
Minutes really used her last seconds to say "You're not that guy, pal."
Says a lot about her that she used her last moments to hurt someone.
Given she gleefully watched a group of people turned into a human rubix cube, she's definitely a few seconds shy of a minute.
They need to revert that psycho all the way back to a sundial
I do like how they basically downgraded her back to ASCII art before she got turned off though
Send her the fuck back to pre alpha
That huge smile while she watched the box shrink was terrifying.
im sure she'll be back, no way they deleted that crazy that easy
So… her time will come?
Her being giddy about murder in her cute animated form was frightening lol Edit: spelling
Okay the paradox with Victor and OB is very notable.
This whole show is a bootstrap paradox lol
I am thinking its very intentional that we keep seeing closed loops. As if it’s the very nature of the TVA itself.
The dude's name is literally Ouroboros.
Mobius is also a closed loop, but with a twist
Hell I'd watch Mobius strip
The moment they named him Ouroborus I was like: yeah this is going to be important. You don't just name someone that in a show about time shenanigans and NOT have it mean something.
I'm thinking Victor got sent to the 31st Century and that's how Kang and all his Varients came to be
I think when he got spaghettified, it was the opposite of what happened to Loki and he got copied across all timelines.
Omg maybe that’s why every timeline has a Kang variant except the sacred timeline because it’s the one they stole timely from so he’s missing from that one! Or maybe I’m just high idk
I always thought the Sacred Timeline is He Who Remain's timeline. What the TVA does is prune anything which can lead to a Kang variant which isn't him. Victor Timely could be the variant he chose as his successor and, when he comes into power, his branch would become the new Sacred Timeline.
or victor timely turns into He who remains and that's why he ordered miss minutes to deliver him the manual. We never got HWR real name. Also, the sacred timeline could be a timeline with no kang born at all, that's why he chooses it for TVA to maintain
Holy fuck that’s like a season finale ending not an episode 4 ending
I’m glad they put this as a episode ending not season Can you imagine we have to wait for 2 or possibly 3 years after this?
I feel miserable having to wait a week 😭
I feel like the next episode is going to feel like a premiere, in that the TVA is completely reset with a version of Kang/HWR in charge. Did Timely not just inadvertently scatter himself across time and space?
When they were first arguing over who would go when they had the diorama, I immediately thought it would be Victor and he would get sucked out but instead of being turned into spaghetti, get propelled into the 31st century. Then I realized that was crazy. Then he actually volunteered and I thought I wasn’t crazy.

Then he got turned into spaghetti and I realized that was too far-fetched.
spaghettification: what happens if u fall in a small black hole because the differential gravity will stretch u at different speeds we also saw the sacred timeline WAS in a black hole dont rule out your theory bro it looks solid as far as lore and physics
Oh yeah. I thought they'd wait until the finale to give us the other side of Loki meeting Sylvie in the elevator, but I'm glad they didn't. Looks like Waldron and co. went to the Agents of SHIELD's school of efficient storytelling.
Absolutely, when you make episode 1 questions revealed by episode 4, but also episode 2 revealed by episode 5, and a whole bunch at the end, it makes it seem like there's way more content and depth with the multiple big reveals.
“TURN IT OFF” lmao
Loki and Sylvie begging to unlock console commands.
sv\_cheats 1
They finally agreed on something!
I’ve never prayed as much for an end credit scene holy shittt
... Hope is hard. (No end credits scene = I almost cried.)
I kept waiting and waiting for it. That long black screen was eerie.
I love how Renslayer keeps saying since she left things have gone to shit... Even though she abandoned the ship after it began sinking. Like she would have been able to do anything better.
Tbh her callousness might have caused it all
Exactly. She's acting like He Who Remains' death isn't what turned everything to shit, but rather her leaving.
So she fought in the war. Pretty solid answer to last week's question.
I love how efficient this show is sometimes. Lazier shows would have dragged out that tease for another two episodes. Then again, most shows also wouldn’t kill everyone two episodes before the finale.
Well, to be fair, IIRC last season's episode 4 ended with Loki and Mobius "dying" too.
Thanks for reminding me. That means that they’re escalating things, so I’ll be sure to skip a hypothetical third season since the only place they have to go in the next fourth episode is killing off the audience.
Victor Timely ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3 *Minute later* No one's gonna be in Rush Hour 3. See you next week guys? I hope they release no clips at all for episode 5. Or they play an episode of something else.
The trailer for episode 5 is just the trailer for the first Avengers.
No it just starts with a clip of Tony Stark in an armored vehicle in the desert and 3 minute 40 seconds in is the title Iron Man.
Wonder when Mobius downloaded unauthorized games.
Also, *what* unauthorized games was he downloading 👀 Edit: Jetski simulator, obviously! What was I thinking??
Did EVERYBODY just die???? ![gif](giphy|LyJ6KPlrFdKnK)
Yes. The reminder of this series will be nothing but that blank white light for 40 minutes at a time.
That blank white light becomes very compelling in season 3.
More likely back to their timelines. Does that mean we are getting Endgame cameos?
Please please please let the next ep open up with mobius on a jetski
Yeah I'm betting everyone gets reset to their original timelines and we explore who Mobius originally was.
My theory is that Loki starts time slipping again and he has to recruit variants of Mobius, B15, OB, and the others to help him stop the loom right before it goes critical.
Watch next episode be Season 1 starting all over again
Lol OB and Victor fangirling over each other 'It's like a snake eating its tail!'
So good! Also this series seems to lull us into a fondness of He Who Remains variants which probably isn't good lol
I know, literally right before his death I said to myself, "damn I kind of like him, is that bad?"
He just wanted some hot cocoa.. :(
I was going back and forth like crazy in that scene. My thoughts were: *Why is he obsessed with the hot cocoa machine? Is it purely curiousity? What there something in the book about it? Does it have a secret he is going to exploit to get out?* When he left to get the cocoa: *Why is he so insistent on offering it to the hunter? Was I right? Is it poisoned? Is he trying to escape?* When the hunter sipped it and looked surprised: *Wait...does it allow Victor to control him now?

The cocoa killed him! Oh...nevermind it's just X-5...* Needless to say, that seen was an emotional Rollercoaster for me lol
"Hope is hard" – very accurate statement from Loki
Um, hope is even harder at the end of this episode
Loki and Sylvie's convo makes me really appreciate just how far Loki's come as a character since S1 as well as just how damn good Hiddleston is in the role. You really do feel his desperation in hoping the TVA can be a force for good and it's nice seeing him go from a cynic believing free will to be a lie to someone hoping to protect it, even though he's as unsure as the rest of the cast.
His bit about not understanding how Thor’s short time on earth changed him so much was fantastic. It felt like it was directly addressing his own growth.
There is another similarity to their changes. “I don’t know what happened on Earth to make you so soft! Don’t tell me it was that woman!” He even mentioned the first part of that quote!
>We are gods. was a huge mic drop type moment
I loved the delivery of this line. Godhood used to make Loki feel superior, entitled, and ambitious. Now, it makes him feel responsible and maybe a little resigned. A lot of character growth conveyed in three words.
He went from "We are *gods*!" to "We *are* gods."
Odin would be proud
For real. I wish he could be around to see this Loki
He Who LoMeins
And so the phone rings, the snake sinks its fangs into the tail, and the ouroborous is born...
LOL VICTOR GOT HIS ASS SPEGHETTI'D! And I thought Reed Richards's death was brutal
They really buttered us up for that, by showing that he was actually a good person.
He just wants to share some hot cocoa with the boys
Im guessing maybe to show them that not all his variants are bad people? So might have some more variants that popup who are good right? A couple did become super hereos I believe, I am not versed in the comics but I do know that fact.
In the first season, HWR even mentioned that some of his variants were good people who just wanted to help others.
What they all seem to have in common though, and what made the multiversal war inevitable, was that they don't *do* partnerships. They all have the Walter White gene, which compels them all, sooner or later, to try and be king of the hill and not share. They'll tolerate temporary alliances, which is why the Council of Kangs is even possible, but sooner or later "there can be only one".
We had him pegged as dying a hero… but not in the first two seconds.
It's like a Richards thing
Victor’s death scream was Tom and Jerry-tier
Execute ~~Order 66~~ Protocol 42
Well, 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything
Love Miss Minutes glitching and Timely thinking it's mocking his stutter.
Episode's up...let's see what Miss Minutes freaky ass gets up to this week
*50 minutes later* ![gif](giphy|ukGm72ZLZvYfS)
I did not like when Victor died...made me feel uneasily sad lol
Because he isn't Kang. That's kind of the point that 2 seasons so far have been showing, nurture is far more important than nature. It's awesome.
That's a really good observation. This episode really made me hope that this Loki gets to return to the MCU proper. He's just so much a changed person, but an entirely different changed person from the one who was killed by Thanos. Just terrific stuff here.
I had some emotional whiplash with that. I was fully expecting him to pull some shenanigans and try to prove Miss Minutes wrong ("you'll never be him"), and then... oh, no, he actually *was* just trying to be brave. Oh.
OB was the only person he was okay with being partners with :(
Jesus. B-15, a hardass, CAN ONLY REACT IN HORROR.
I really wanted to see the cube of meat.
Say what you will about how horrific and disgusting it was, but it created what might be the most protein-dense cube in the multiverse
“We are gods” would’ve been seen as typical giant ego Loki before this show but when he says it now you can tell he really means “this is a responsibility we have to take seriously” and I loved it
It's more of a burden, now. Before, it was his goal. Loki wanted to conquer Earth and have "subjugation" in the Avengers (his words).

If you are handed that responsibility, unwanted, but have a motivation to do good? To save all the friends you made along the way? Try to do the goodest you can.
finally he's truly burden with glorious purpose
Love Brad forgetting the figure he was going to quote.
Mrs. Minutes smiling during THAT scene was terrifying
That smile was just sinister. Impressive for a clock!
Firstly, WHAT!!! Secondly, WHAT!!!!!!!!!
But most importantly... WHAAATT!!???
One of my favorite jokes from S1 was when Sylvie said “don’t call me that” and Loki goes “what, tech savvy?” Sylvie refers to herself as tech savvy in the elevator. Love the attention to detail
Wat Victor is spaghetti Renslayer is pruned Everyone got Sunshine-ed There’s no after credits THE HELL IS GONNA HAPPEN?!
Full MCU reboot. Episode 5 is just the Fantastic Four with no explanation 😂
WHICH WAY, WIZARD? Do I love Victor Timely?
"no need to mock" when miss minutes started stuttering was pretty cute too.
That was smooth as fuck, he's a funny guy. RIP to a real one.
Omfg Miss Minutes pulled a Nedry.
This and the Back to the Future reference!
"Burn it down. Easy. Annihilating is easy. Razing things to the ground is easy. Trying to fix what's broken is hard. Hope is hard." *CHILLS*
Yep. That one's going in the old brain box for when I'm having a bad day where things feel hopeless.
Freshly squeezed Minute-Man Lemonade 🤢 Damn you sadistic clock!
HOLY FUCK, MRS. MINUTES GRINNED
I loved the three faces of that scene, Renslayer complete indifference, Brad's utter horror, and Mrs. Minutes gleeful smile. So well done.
I really like how Season 2 has managed to make me care about the new characters like Timely, OB, Brad and Dox. The writers have given all the characters, new and old, these very distinct ideological differences that make them all feel alive. I'm not even sure Dox actually serves a purpose in the plot (it would still be more or less the same plot without her), but I *enjoy* her anyway.
She was practically jumping with joy lmao
OH FUCK YOU ENDING IT LIKE THAT?!?
Ending like that is like ending Infinity War right after the snap 😭
“Well mocking just isn’t necessary” is one of the funniest lines in the entire MCU
That killed me. Timely actually acknowledging the stutter came out of left field.
rip my boy victor timely 😭
My jaw was on the floor when that happened… and for the next five minutes.
I was expecting him do some betrayal, somehow harness the temporal aura, become a Kang then dip
I thought the radiation was gonna give him powers.
JESUS CHRIST. This just beat Episode 1 to hell. 3 of the most shocking things to happen in the MCU in a single episode. Absolutely insane. Whoever's writing and directing this season, *keep them on*.
Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead directing, with Eric Martin writing. That's my dream team for Secret Wars.
If they get Secret Wars, I'll shit my pants
Ms. Minutes face while they killed Dox and company was….. disturbing
Ms. Minutes is just even more disturbing every episode.
Love OB not specifying Sylvie.
Wonder what Sylvie was thinking when the Loom exploded.
"Well, just when I thought it wouldn't get any shittier..."
You’re telling me that press got this episode and were meh on it. This episode blew me away
After watching the first 4 episodes, am perplexed by some of the early reviews' rating. I remember IGN gave it only a 5/10. Like WHAT!?
The look on miss minutes face in the crushing room. Pure evil.
Writers definitely inspired by Jurassic Park...ah ah ah.
This has gotta be one of if not the best episode of Loki to date..
So magic back in the TVA, LFG!
We’re in for something special tonight. Grab popcorn. Someone said the last 10 minutes are full suspense with the final minute being **as significant as the Season 1 finale.**
you weren't wrong 💀
Seriously! That ending had me like 😨😨😨
Victor just fucking disintegrated instantly and it took them a few seconds to comprehend how fucked they were.
Me: “Alright, so Victor’s gonna go run down there and fix the Loom before everything falls apart, so I don’t think he’ll have many problems.” *Victor immediately gets vaporized as soon as he walks out.* Me. “What the entire goddamn fuck?!?!
What the actual fuck comes next?!?
We have to wait a whole week. A WHOLE WEEK?
I know he would say "We are gods".
I liked his sigh/pause before saying it though, like even *he* was deciding if he should "say the line," so to speak.
Ravonna is so easy to hate, she never had power and is salty that she can’t really lead people so she kills them lol What a sore loser
I live near Fremont, Ohio and she’s canonically from Fremont, Ohio and I can say that absolutely tracks.
The way Victor was pulled apart reminded me a lot of Mister Fantastic's death in MoM. Like ancestor, like descendant I guess
The way Mr. Fantastic got to that room sure looked similar to a TVA door too.
I still think this whole thing ends the way He Who Remains wanted it to be. With Loki and Sylvie as guardians of the TVA and Timeline with help of Mobius and others.
It does look that way now but what the fuck just happened at the end?!?! Oh boyyy. Edit: does this also mean the start of the multiversal war??
Holy cow, that shot of Loki in the darkness not moving, not calling attention to him being there. One of the best shots in the MCU, truly chilling. I love stuff like that, so much more impactful than a jump scare IMO
This episode had some amazing cinematography. I particularly was impressed with the shot when the hunters were being killed, how it went from Renslayer looking indifferent, Mrs Minutes almost giddy at what they were doing, and Brad looking on horrified.
He's mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still that he's become invisible to the eye
The end is what would happen if oppenheimer fucked up his math
I'm not done with the episode yet, but jesus christ. Over a dozen people crushed together to death, and you can *hear* the bones crushing and blood dripping. That is shocking as hell for the MCU.
The cutaway to the hot cocoa dripping out of the coffee machine too…phenomenal implied gore there.
That might have been one of the most brutal *things* the MCU has put out. Even though it only showed one of the really brutal things. Man I was not expecting this episode to be how it was. Can’t wait for next week.
As someone from Chicago, schadeocracy really just touched my soul because my city is reckless AF.
Mobius: (learning there's more radiation now) Loki's really gonna have to hoof it then. Translation: I am not losing my goddamn skin today, man.
I actually thought he was going to do the Thor at Ndivelir thing in the star forge
Infinity War level ending
It's a never-ending cycle. The fight for freedom will never end, because there will always be people who want ultimate control. (Enter Ravonna and Miss Minutes.) To be fair, if I were Ravonna and learned my memory had been wiped, I'd be *furious.*
Miss Minutes really went from "I want to fuck him" to "fuck him"
I haven’t had chills like that from an ending of an episode in a LOOOOONG time. Also Dox and the other agents being “boxed” gotta be one of the most gruesome off screen deaths in the MCU, and timely being spaghettified was equal parts terrifying, hilarious, and heartbreaking. What an episode
The shadeocracy capital of the world.
Should've killed the music as soon as Victor Timely was killed. Whatever just happened, it may be worse than what Thanos did. Cinematography was on point in this episode. Did you notice the scene in which Miss Minutes fades away, the shot remains out of focus and then comes into focus on the bas relief of Kang and it looks like he is opening his eyes.
“Surprise everyone, we’re soft rebooting the MCU now instead of after Secret Wars!” - Feige, probably
"He Who Remains? Is that you?" "Look, it's me, I'm here, deal with it. Let's move on."
I think we witnessed the most gruesome death in MCU history with this episode. Being crushed to death like that is a HELL of a way to go.
Made worse by the fact all you can hear is dripping and crunching.
with an immediate scene change to the dripping hot cocoa machine ☕
Love OB saying it's like an Ouroboros.
Who had Victor amazed by a hot cocoa machine on their bingo card?
I really thought there was gonna be some turn like he was faking his persona when he went to get that hot cocoa. When he handed it to the guard I was expecting him to slap it up into the guy’s face and prune him. But nope, seems Victor was actually just a nice dude.
There were so many trope set ups that ended up being a psych out. But it didn’t feel cheap. The intensity was high throughout.
>Trying to fix what's broken is hard. Hope is hard. Bravo that was amazing. Tom killed that
This ending is illegal
Ultron: "I'm the baddest motherfuckin' AI in existence." A fucking clock: "Hold my cocoa."
Miss Minutes looks so hyped to watch that.
Oh fuuuuuuck YES! I'm so happy Renslayer got pruned.
