I’m an English prof, and my grinch heart grew three sizes when I heard “We die with the dying.” 

This is me in basically any show with a premise of timetravel and multiple timelines. I tend not to enjoy them very much because there’s a point at which I think too much about it and my brain hurts. (It’s been more than a decade and I still don’t want to talk about Source Code). There’s a fine line for me, and if I…

God, it’s so good to see classic poetry being quoted in pop culture again.

I wasn’t sold on this finale at first; the stuff with the loom seemed like an attempt to graft a mechanical solution onto a metaphysical problem. Even in the discussion between Loki and He Who Remains, which was very well acted, everything seemed too abstract. But once I saw where they were going with Loki’s final act…

It honestly . . . kind of does. If they don’t want to recast Kang, then they can just act as thought that’s all tied up (for folks who care - most won’t see Loki and won’t care) and move on to other stuff. 

This gives Marvel and excellent excuse to scrap Kang from future movies. It was that or re-cast, and now they don’t even have to address that.

This felt like some of the best Russell T. Davies era Doctor Who episodes, in a good way.

This really should be the model for everything moving forward. Get creative, unique people. Let them work. Don’t micro-manage them to death in post. LET. THEM. WORK. This was the best MCU project in quite a while and there is a reason for that. Anything else I would say has already been well covered by the review and…

There’s still a stigma attached to being perceived as a “television composer” and therefore not good enough to be a “movie composer”.

Stuck the landing. Not a perfect show or season (episodes 2 and 3 were a bit talky and spinning their wheels) but better than most and I enjoyed most of it.

Husbands! If they aren’t demanding you empty their ever-filling venom bowls, they’re writhing and screaming about all the venom falling on their faces. Either way, I don’t see the gutters getting any cleaner, am I right ladies? Sigyn and Skaði, you know what I’m talking about!

Best thing Marvel’s done since Endgame, hands down.

Especially for Loki’s wife. She holds a bowl over his head to catch the venom, but when the bowl gets full, she has to go empty it, and during that time, the venom lands on Loki’s face.

Like they say on The Flintstones, it’s a living! 

sometimes i feel like i’ve turned into a certified hater of mcu, but then something like this comes out and reminds me that i actually like this stuff quite a bit.

I suppose that this is a slightly better fate than being chained to a rock with a serpent dripping venom onto your face forever?

Hiddleston’s “Don’t set the multiplier down because it WILL roll off...” had all the barely-concealed exhaustion of a parent who REALLY wants to yell at his kid, but he’s in public in front of other parents and can only half smile as he whisper-screams at the kid who keeps making the same mistake. Perfection.

Soo happy with this - I kind of forgot that This Loki was originally going to die in the MCU, so the sacrifice makes sense - and it did it so beautifully

That might have been my favorite hour of filmed Marvel content ever. It was just so wonderful on all levels. And this recap nicely summed up why.

Now that was a damn good finale.
