I say this as someone who was very dissatisfied with the other shows…Loki’s finale gave me everything I wanted 😭😭😭😭 I’m satisfied 😭 I’m interested as to why you weren’t
idk how to put all this but after a certain point it really felt like this wasn't loki's series but a series that simply had a (weird version of 2012) loki in it. i'm just generally kinda annoyed by how they especially handled loki being bi and genderfluid bc at this point their "confirmation" is basically non-existent and loki might as well be cishet.
plus that entire sylvie x loki thing?? so weird and out of character imo. like loki isn't as narcissistic as everyone seems to think, loki legit doesn't like himself or think he's worthy of love for the most part. so why tf would he suddenly start running after the only female version of himself like some dumb schoolboy in love? and even if we ignore that part, theyre literally the same person??? just from different timelines???? if that's all cool then why didnt we see ravonna make out with her school teacher-self?
all his character development was pushed into the first episode and after that we're supposed to think that now he's kinda on the level of post-ragnarok loki but even less interested in being king/ruler??? for loki that entire "trying to rule earth/nyc" thing happened less than a week ago, he wouldn't change all his motivations that fast. that entire "oh no i'd never want this throne" thing was annoying like thats his main motivation in every single mcu film???
sylvie and loki were so weirdly characterized imo. where is all of loki's ability to be cunning and scheming? why does he now trust basically everyone?? sylvie isn't really a fleshed out character either, she's just the terrifyingly strong woman in a group of men. like that's not good representation especially if thats basically all that she is allowed to be
a lot of the show just seems like build-up to the next few mcu movies to me... and a lot of timeline stuff (i.e. loki ending up at a "different" tva even though he was sent there before the timeline even split that much) feels weird and it doesn't make sense imo
and it's really dissatisfying to have loki build that relationship/friendship with mobius (and hunter b-15 to a certaib degree) just to... not have them remember him?? even if you dotn ship mobius and loki it's just. disappointing to have him lose his first actual friend like that after just seeing them hug the episode before that
there's a lot of questions still unanswered and many things that wouldve been nice to see and yeah i saw that season 2 thing but ugh. what was sylvie's nexus event? why tf does mobius like jetskis that much? where does that part in the trailer where loki wears his 2012 clothes come from? why the hell do all the lokis seem so shocked at the idea that any version of them could ever be a woman? why is an alligator acceptable tho? why did loki seemingly fall in love with sylvie after only knowing her for like 12 hours and proceeded to make every single one of his motivations be about her?
kang the conqueror was a pretty cool character tho he really owned that entire last episode lol
