I'm out of the loop, what's going on here, isn't that the girl from the ads? Is she the new Squirrel Girl, who's that guy

edit: Squirrel girl comics have super owned in the recent years, I forget the issue but at one point she mediates a fight between Spiderman and some B-villains and, well, it's just great, no spoilers.

She was cast as Squirrel Girl in a live action thing a few years ago but it wasn't picked up and the project died.

I like when Squirrel Girl hung out with Galactus and they made fun of Thsnos for being half goth and half hipster because he is way into death but also makes his own gloves.

No no there's two.

Frog-Thor is when Thor has been turned into a Frog, like on the Loki show.

Throg is when a Frog is given the mini-Mjolnir by Thor and becomes Throg.

Totally different and distinct.

To bring it around to Squirrel Girl, like when Loki pretends to be Cat-Thor?

And every bit of the recent Squirrel Girl was amazing, I'm still pissed they haven't brought her in proper.

Weird news.

Patton Oswalt said in an interview yesterday that Marvel would not let him use Madame Masque or Turner D. Century in M.O.D.O.K. because they were being considered for some other project.

Hey, I'm from Brooklyn. I'm going to call myself Mr. Friendly.

Madame Masque makes sense. She was Kate Bishop’s archenemy in the book the new Hawkeye series is based of off. Even if she doesn’t appear there I’m sure they want to save a major antagonist for Kate to fight.

No idea about Turner D Century. He got murdered back in the eighties and only got brought back on occasion to be promptly murdered again.

Weird thing about Frog Thor being there would make him the only non-Loki besides Kang and chaos dog. I wonder if they wanted to show us more than just Loki's survive there or they didn't and that's why they scrapped it.

Maaaann that lineup sucks. Why are they making two separate Captain Peggy minifigs? Why is it half remixed What If minifigs instead of new characters?

Where's Kang?

Maybe they consider him still too spoilery to include. Are there enough unused characters for a series 2 of minifigures?

Hawkeye and Ms Marvel are out later this year then Moon Knight, She Hulk and Secret Invasion in 2022. I don't think there are enough characters for a second series from the current set of shows but they'll definitely have enough next year.

'Considered for some other project' doesn't mean much for this stuff. DC has been telling the CW folk that Booster GOld is off limits because of an upcoming movie since 2014.

I still want the She Hulk show to get James Spader on as at least a guest star lawyer because scenes like this

One cool bit about that scene is that the chinese delegations' applause was an unscripted spontaneous act from those actors due to Spader's speech

Maybe we can get a bit like

Bruce Banner: Um, why do you sound like a homicidal robot?

Spader as character nicknamed "Ultrolawyer:" A few years back I was deposing Tony Stark. After the first day he over-ruled his council and offered to meet my full settlement offer if I'd be willing to license my voice for use in some project he was developing. I guess the joke was on me. I will say that being the voice of a murderous android can be quite helpful in the courtroom.

I think they did an OK job conveying that Lokis, for all their choices, are just really good at surviving in the void where other individuals would die, but ya it was a little weird

Shouldn't the void also be full of other aberrations like evil Thors and good Thanoses? Thanii?
And most of the Loki's there would be ones that probably, at some point at least, demonstrated a greater tendency towards good? I just feel like there's something in the way the TVA works that selects for specific variants to go to the void, leading to a preponderance of one sort or another.

It probably was but remember, Lokis are survivors and naturally would outlast other beings that would get eaten by Alioth.

Interesting thing I noticed, in the Assembled episode they showed a bunch of concept art for the TVA and it featured a lot more non-human beings walking around. I guess budget or time constraints stopped that from appearing in the show?

I'm always happy to see nonhuman (especially non-anthropomorphic) aliens, wish that could have happened.

Was just plowing through the Legends of Tomorrow show and noticed the Vandal Savage/Time Masters plotline almost exactly mirrors the plot for Loki, with Savage playing the part of Immortus, except he didn't want to die.

In the scene where Loki first comes to the TVA, and its him and the Goldman Sachs douche in the queue, there was originally supposed to be a ton of other people/creatures in that queue with them, but it had to be stripped down for COVID reasons, is what I heard in an interview with a producer.

I imagine most Thors and Thanoses tend to try to tackle the giant elemental cloud of consumption, rather than run away and hide from it like a Loki does.

There should have been more Ant Men. Scott totally would hide from something like that.
