I do enjoy that one of the criticisms of the final episode of Wandavision was that it just ended up being characters shooting lasers at each other. Now, with FATWS, the final episode is going to be everyone shooting shields at each other.

It's not Kang. We've had two series now where we all speculated on the surprise mystery character would be and it didn't happen. It's not Kang.

What if Sylvie is just a different person? Like she had the title of Loki but wasn't actually the Asgardian Loki?

tsob posted:No? I have literally no idea how you arrived at that contention. Sylvie was born Loki, whether that was Loki Laufeyson, or Loki Loufeydotter, it was as Loki. She has refused that name over the years for some reason, but she was still a being called Loki as a name at birth, and not as a title. Which is all the TVA cares about. I don't know what to believe. The comics have a Sylvie that quite clearly isn't Loki or even Asgardian. When called "Loki" she says don't call me that. Has different powers than Loki. There's the easter egg calling her Loki Laufeydottir but the TVA haven't been known as a reliable narrator.

tsob posted:The TVA are not reliable as a source about themselves, but we haven't been given any reason to doubt their information on variants. The only reason to suppose that Sylvie isn't a variant of Loki by birth is because they made a mistake, which would be a hell of a mistake and kind of a silly twist to hang her character on after introducing her as the only other real variant Loki interacts with during the show. As was pointed out, she was listed as Sylvie Laufeydottir by the TSA. By that logic, she isn't Loki. A sister perhaps?

Shneak posted:I've been silently watching Loki from the shadows because I got too into the theorizing for WandaVision (and haven't finished FaTWS, don't really care to) but I've loved the series. Loki's never really appealed to me as a character but this series has changed that. Keeping my villain expectations low for the finale. What? After the astronomically crazy twist ending of FatWS, nothing is off the board for Loki! Just kidding, they went with the most boring route possible for both previous shows that it almost has to be another Loki.

Jerkface posted:no man, i didn't know that marvel is the most popular poo poo ever. My problem is the stories don't even feel like anything is actually happening. It just feels like being shuttled from scene to scene. It would be better if each episode was an actual well structured story. I disagree. I think it's a fun, 30 minute show that relies entirely on its audience knowing the source material. It's What If...?, not a setup for later shows movies. Nothing of consequence happens, it just shows goofy poo poo. No point in developing anything because after those 30 minutes, it won't matter.

JazzFlight posted:I just wish the dialogue was better. Every character has the same voice and just spouts quips or modern slang. Korath and Thanos were just unrecognizable. I wasn't the biggest fan of Thanos in the episode but Korath was inexcusably bad. The episode really did feel like a fanfiction about T'Challa but it was Boseman's last performance so I give it a pass.

AFewBricksShy posted:This is probably a dumb gripe but it always annoyed me that it turned out that Thanos literally had to snap his fingers to blink out half of all life. Infinity war showed that he had to physically manipulate the gauntlet to use the gems, I don't think using a snap to activate all of them was too much of a stretch. Makes for a far more interesting visual than him just closing his fist again.

Honestly, I don't think that episode needs any kind of sequel. It's a perfect zombie movie ending. Either they can't find a cure and the world eventually succumbs to the zombies, or they find a cure and the world succumbs to Thanos.

Bust Rodd posted:Spider-Man only acts like that in Avengers films and he’s doing it with a sense of child-like innocence and wonder like “oh wow mr stark how neat, cool whoa!”, in his own movies he takes everything too seriously and never lets himself have any fun. They are practically different characters between the two series except for Civil War, where he behaves the same as in his own films. Spidey’s presence in the End-Game films is very wack. Did you watch Ant-Man? It sure didn't seem like his prison time was that awful. He made lots of wonderful friends.

Bust Rodd posted:This is perhaps a nitpick, but as someone with immediate family in prison, there is no such thing as “time in prison that is not awful”. There’s a reason prison isn’t used often as a backdrop for “fun” movies, and that’s because the real world implications of being in prison aren’t fun at all. “Prison” means something completely different to families who have lost someone to the American broad daylight slavery system that is federal prison. To people who don’t have that experience, you probably just imagine a bunch of guys in orange jumpsuits in the yard working out like on TV, and that’s maybe 60 minutes of your day, and the rest of the time it’s about sharpening your toothbrush into a shiv so you don’t get wrestled in the shower. Scott Lang’s character doesn’t really make any sense unless you imagine that when they say “prison” they really just mean “low security county lock up” but that’s not prison, that’s jail. Big wig corporate lawyers trying to make an example out of him, throwing him in federal prison makes more sense, it was like Super Grand Theft, but yeah he’s not spending the whole time just sitting in his cell reading, you have to fight for your life every day, especially as a white guy, and especially as a non-violent offender. No one in the world thinks prison is a fun time. It was a funny gag in a funny movie and perhaps you are taking it way too seriously.

Bust Rodd posted:No the heroic CIA guy really undercuts the impact and the message of the film IMO, making a CIA guy the hero in a movie about Africa would be like if Cap had a Nazi on his team in The First Avenger. There were a dozen other ways to add a white American who could positively impact the story, but specifically making them CIA has far reaching implications which does more to make Killmonger’s point for him than it does anything else. ooooh more hot takes

Bust Rodd posted:I’ve only watched Black Panther twice but him killing his girlfriend and being mean to the old ladies are like the only reasons the movie gives you to hate him and think he’s a bad guy. If he had simply not murdered his girlfriend for no reason it would be like 65 minutes into the movie before he does something evil. I feel like they added the girlfriend in later drafts to try and get audiences to hate him sooner. In like the first 20 minutes he and established villain Klaue are responsible for people getting killed at the museum
