TV Season Rating

The most recent (at the time of writing) of Marvels post-Endgame TV series (after both WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and, once again, this is a very different beast than any of those two previous.

In this one, Tom Hiddleston portrays Loki, as he was just after stealing the Tesseract during the time travel heist of Avengers: Endgame ie before this version of him had lived through those events that occurred after Avengers Assemble (eg Thor: Dark World, Ragnorak, Infinity War etc etc) and is almost immediately arrested by the Time Variance Authority (the TVA), an organisation whose sole purpose is to police the 'sacred timeline'.

Over the course of the series, things prove not always to be as they seem, with this series also (or so I've heard) leading directly into Marvels phase 4 of the MCU.

I'd say it's because it's slow. There's a lot of exposition and it can be draggy. That would be why I'd rate it lower. Worth watching, just be aware.

I disliked the show completely, the only reason I rated it as high as a 5 is because when I averaged the ratings for each episode, the 2 good episodes outweighed the other trash episodes.
It was boring, it turned Loki into a vanilla-boring character, and the writing was terrible. The only reason I continued after the 3rd episode is because of Hiddleston, as I'm a huge fan, and he said that eps 4 and 5 were where it got more interesting. Episode 4 was an abomination. The plot was nonsensical and Hiddleston's acting was cringey. Seriously, the Ragnarok flashdance hair flip occurring multiple times was odd and annoying. I'm in the minority, I apparently watched a completely different show. It caused me to have zero interest in the MCU beyond Shang Chi.

What a lovely book! I started this a few hours ago and couldn't put it down. I always love to read a time-travel and the romance is lovely between Vickie and Jason. So I thought the love scene came a bit early on, but I must not be in a picky mood so I won't quibble about it. I really didn't know what the outcome was going to be exactly, except the typical HEA, so that kept me turning the pages. The epilogue left me with a silly grin on my face and I'm so glad the author included that. All in all, it was a wonderful book to pass the time.
