Episode 1. Excellent start. I'm loving the vibe of otherworldly bureaucratic absurdist comedy. Time variant authority and its setup is all weird but in a good way. Lots of possibilities. This show could even influence the next phase of MCU. Hiddleston is wonderful already.

How's Owen Wilson? Based on the short tv spots, he looks to be having a lot of fun.

Episode 2. Don't know where this is going but it is all exciting. I like that they are showing the humanity of Loki and Hiddleston is killing it. Apocalypses and Loki v. Loki . An adventure across time. Is this is the beginning of Marvel Multiverse? .

Also the show's aesthetic is very Fincher. The yellows, the greens and the moody lighting. Guess they weren't lying about their Fincher inspiration.

I never cared much for Loki, but I really liked it what I've seen so far. Way better than the Falcoln and the Winter Soldier (or is it the other way around?), and the two episodes are on Wandavision's level. Really dig the Doctor Who/The Good Place vibes, and time-bending/multiple timelines mystery is all you need to say to get me hooked on something. The humor and production design are on point.
Also, never thought I'd say that, but I love seeing Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston together.

Episode 3. I like that this is changing genre types with each episode. First they showed an otherworldly bureaucracy, then a time travel adventure and a now a disaster movie. I'm liking the Sylvie character and the actress so far. Looks like they are making Loki bisexual

I'm really tempted to give up with this show. I'm not exactly sure what the point of it is. 3 episodes in (the halfway point) It feels dull and pointless...lot's of "talky-talky" (to quote Mobeius) that is starting to feel aimless. Even the whole "Time Cops" things feels like it's been done better on Umbrella Academy. Lot's of complaints now about this show being boring on social media, and I'm starting to be in agreement. Not sure Loki was a character who really needed to carry his own show.
Loki is definitely the by far the weakest of the first 3 MCU Disney + shows. It hasn't got the originality of WandaVision's sitcom premise to keep it intriguing. And it hasn't got the grounded, real world social and political commentary that made The Falcon And The Winter Soldier more interesting (to me anyway) than your average superhero show. Loki just feels like a succession of average Doctor Who episodes on a much bigger budget. It even manages to make "Universe Ending Apocalyses" feel like there are no stakes whatsoever.
Maybe the storyline isn't strong enough. A show about Loki in Asgard (Even if set in the past), interacting with Anthony Hopkins Odin, and various Asgardian characters like Sif, The Warriors Three, Heimdall, Balder, The Enchantress etc, probably would have been more interesting than this reheated Sci-fi bunkum (and why put Loki in a science-fiction set up anyway? He has always been far more associated with magic and sorcery. Even the concept of the show feels flawed and against what the character usually represents)

I thought the first two episodes were sort of fun, but I was mostly bored during the third episode, which just felt like pointless filler for the most part. I'll stick with it because I'm curious to see if my suspicions about where it's headed are confirmed, but yeah so far I'm kind of meh on it.

So far I’d say Wandavision > Loki > The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

So far I’d say Wandavision > Loki > The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Loki is the most boring shit ever, imho. He's supposed to be a God. This Time Cops shit ain't it. A massive disappointment. Comparing it to The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, let alone claiming it's better verges on blasphemous to me. That show had stakes, multiple compelling characters, character development, emotional arcs, etc etc. I actually want to see second season of it. I don't know why they or who they made Loki for, but 4 episodes in and this show is dead. It's just a lot of pointless exposition and so-so action scenes . Talky-talky. Rivals Thor: The Dark World as the weakest Marvel project....ever. There's zero stakes in this show....Variants, apocalypses..., who cares? I'll let someone tell me how it ends, because I can't be bothered to keep watching this thing.

Episode 4. Things slowed after the fast paced first three episodes but we got some revelations. Characters got to know truths, we got a glimpse of the time keepers and they are not what we think they are. Also several other Lokis are out there including a reptile Loki? funny that.

There's this weird trend going online. What is with people shipping these characters who aren't romantically involved? First they shipped Falcon and Bucky (some even shipped Steve and Bucky before) and it went so far that Anthony Mackie dismissed them and people got furious. Now they are shipping Loki and Mobius. I know there was a moment in episode 3 of Loki where there's a hint that Loki might be bisexual but this constant shipping of characters they like is getting frustration. I saw more romantic tension between Loki and Sylvie but i don't people shipping them.
There's no quality discussion about story, conflict, emotion, resolution anymore.

Loki and Sylvie aren't shipped because they're from opposite genders.
Anyway, this was the best episode of the series. The TVA's house of cards is crumbling down, and I'm interested to see what happens next.

You don't ship opposite genders? like if you see a male and female in a film/tv show you don't ship them?

It just encapsulated my own thoughts with a snazzy graphic of Loki

You don't ship opposite genders? like if you see a male and female in a film/tv show you don't ship them? I meant among the type of fandom that is crazy about this stuff these days. It's all gay pairings, specially if there's no hint anyone involved is gay.

Apologies to you and PURPMINDED420 but we’re on opposite side on this one.

For those saying that this show is better than TFATWS, why do you think so? First of all I really like TFATWS so this is merely a matter of degrees. -I think Loki is a much more interesting character than either of those two and Huddleston brings much more to the role than Mackie or Stan. -I found TFATWS to be a bit disjointed at times. I really didn’t care about Karli’s story at all, or Sharon as the Powerbroker. Would have preferred more focus on Isiah, US Agent, and Bucky’s reception and adjustment to his new life. -I’m very interested on how the multi-verse plays off of Loki’s series. -I’m excited for the possibility of Kang being behind the TVA
