this there isn't a title to the episode quite yet but it is 50 minutes long and we're here to talk
about it starting off with the opening sequence we take it into 2012 we go back to the avengers we
see that the avengers have captured loki we get a mixture of that scene that happened 2012 we get a
new shot because i don't remember seeing loki wave at the hulk and then we go back to the
avengers in-game sequence where we see the hulk bursts the door tony loses the the tesseract we
see loki pick it up and ladies and gentlemen the adventure begins the journey of ends as we
cut to mongolia in the desert we see loki doing his old loki thing when he's introducing himself
and this is where we get introduced to the new players of the mcu and that is the tva the time
variance authority as we see mushaku who i am such a big fan of her work do yourself a favor
if you're a horror fan watch his house if you're a horror sci-fi fan of drama watch lovecraft
country she is fantastic i'm so excited she's in the mcu this is yet again just another home run
of casting whether it be woman ushaku whether it be google owen wilson this cast mcu perfect
but wu mushaku was introduced in this sequence as hunter b15 as she does a badass thing she lowkey's
talking his stuff right talking about that i'm a god and i'm going to give you one last chance
to give me that tesseract she hits him with her kind of time uh club and it kind of takes him
into this 1 16 time frame where he's moving in real time but we're seeing him in slow motion
such a great way to introduce a tva and introduce his badass character in hunter b15
cut to siena loki he's now getting processed in the tva and i love his little easter egg which we
saw this in the trailer but we see that there is a scroll who's also under arrest which this is yet
the second show that we got we saw scrolling wine division now we've seen a scroll in this show this
is yet again just planting the seeds for what's to come and secret invasion coming to disney plus
which i can't wait for that show but as we kind of move forward this is where the show it mixes
in sci-fi and magic and adventure and fun but also comedy the writers behind the show rick and morty
you know and the director kate she's worked on some comedy things like sex education the comedy
works so well in this first episode and we see him getting arrested we sell this in a trailer when he
has to sign everything he says so far we see him getting processed and he has to verify that he's
not a robot which i thought was a funny moment but this is the moment here i'm like okay this is your
baby yoda this is your you know your next funko uh you know sensation this is what the kids are gonna
be dressing up in halloween we meet miss minutes ladies and gentlemen i'm telling you right now
she will be a fan favorite i i love this character and i can't wait to see more of this character but
we see miss minute she's tasked to giving the educational course of the multiverse not only loki
but to the audience because this is a kind of official uh announcement of the multiverse because
we've heard the word multiverse in the mcu before whether it was in doctor strange obviously we got
it in spider-man and avengers movies but this is like officially kind of explaining the multiverse
in the mcu as miss minis talks about the timekeepers who are very important players in the
comics we learn a little bit about what they're doing in the mcu which is very similar to the
comics they're here to protect and preserve the proper time flow of everything of every multiverse
imaginable and i love these choice words they use in explaining the time keepers in regards to
nexus beans now you all remember even if you're not a comic fan just taking it off the context of
wanda vision wanda is a nexus being someone that can go through the multiverse and uh you know
cause chaos in the multiverse as they say you know this variance can disrupt the timeline and i love
that they say can create madness in the multiverse which we all know monsieur vs madness is the
subtitle of doctor strange i'm telling you all this show is so important to the mcu especially
when you all see episode two which i won't talk about quite yet but we'll talk about it next week
but i love how they use those words but we also there was a multiverse war that happened before
now i can't wait to learn a little bit about what happened before in this multiverse world this
multi they say a cause of a multiverse war that's happened in the past so i'm really excited to see
if we learn a little bit more that history lesson who was all involved in this past multiverse war
but cut to 1549 we go to france and this is we learned in this scene a little bit of exposition
this is the sixth incident that's happened this week the sixth attack that's happened this week
as we're introduced to my man owen wilson who i mentioned in my 9 spoiler review yet again
perfect casting mobius he is fantastic i love owen wilson's charisma his charm his wit i'm so excited
to get more of this character i think that him and loki the stuff they do in this episode the
stuff they do in episode two they're gonna be some of the best duos that we got in the mcu
so far but anyway we see mobius talking to this young kid who has his blue gum he's been gifted
this gum and i love here we go let the mephisto theory start up again from wine division because
a little kid points to the devil okay let me know your thoughts in the comments guys are we dealing
with mephisto are we dealing with another version of loki as they talk about which we'll talk about
in this episode are we dealing with kane the conqueror let me know your theories in the
comments below but this person is responsible for all these crimes that we have gotten in the last
six days so or in this last week so cut to l 1130 loki as he's being processed and talking to the
judge played by google who is playing ren slayer who i love google i love her in this role i can't
wait to see more of her character for those that are familiar with this character in the comics
rinslayer is a pretty important character because she does have ties a relationship and particularly
with kane the conqueror as we know jonathan majors has been casted as the character and we're
thinking that his first appearance will be in ant-man quantum mania but
i don't know we'll see if mr jonathan majors makes his way into the show but as i digress we see loki
plenty not guilty to his crimes because he blames the avengers for disrupting
the timeline and interrupting his ascendant to being a god king again loki his scheming
ways he's blaming the other people the avengers love this moment here but this is a big moment
because this is a question i was thinking about before they even you know the first episode
we know that they're the time variants we learn about them they preserve the timeline but
why weren't they interfering when the avengers taking the time stone i i kind of think okay
maybe because they put the time stones back in their timeline but it's like no they would have
stopped them from doing this as we saw them stop loki but then rensselaer tells the audience she
tells us that they wanted the avengers to do that we'll see and learn a little bit more about these
timekeepers and how they pick and choose who can disrupt the timeline who can't disrupt the
timeline but something to look forward to but we see mobius wants to take loki under his wing and
i love again another little easter egg as he says oh if you want to disrupt the department deal with
the nightmare department again mephisto nightmare you name it i can't wait to have a fun time with
this show and hear all the awesome theories you all have and of course hear my theories about
what's to come but either way mobius and loki are having this awesome discussion about his
birthright as we know loki always wants to be the king he wants to be the king of asgard he wants to
be the king of midgard aka earth and we have this awesome discussion between these two as he sees
his past actions he sees what he did in the avengers film and then we get this really
awesome moment that we saw in the trailer which is him loki playing d b cooper who's the as you all
may or may not know is this particular person back in the 1970s i want to say who hijacked this 727
aircraft stole some money his identity was never identified until now that yes that was loki he
lost a bat to his brother thor which are we gonna get chris hemsworth in this show some variation of
kirsten's worth let me know your thoughts on him dale or odin or hella let me know if you all think
we're gonna get a cameo a big cameo from any of those characters from thor let me know jane foster
i don't know maybe another version of thor as we know she's going to be a thor in love and thunder
let's talk about it in the comments but moving forward he's shown all the events
in particular the events that take place in thor 2 which i'm not a big fan of alan taylor's film
thor dark world but we see a pretty pivotal moment that not only played big into that film it played
big into what we get in game but oaky sees that he was responsible for the death of his mother
and sees her death take place which shakes him that startles him he kind of we're seeing
that version which again this is 2012 loki this is the evil i want to rule the world and earth
and all the people you know here's the boot and ant all that stuff that we got in the vineyard
this is a different low key but he's starting to get into the good grace of like he does have
a heart and we'll talk about that heart and soul in a little bit here but loki says that he
is destined for us to say we see moby say that he is destined to cause pain suffering and death and
that he is to propel people to be their greater selves their best versions of themselves and he
we see them cut to the avengers and we know that all his path leads to death so now loki has this
kind of new perspective of what life can mean to him so we see them have this kind of exchange we
see obviously loki being sneaky took that little time loop thing out of mobius jack when he helped
him out and we see that loki uh has his moment he escapes mobius's office he runs into that casey
character that we meet earlier in the episode who took the tesseract and this is a huge moment
right here the ramifications of this scene mean so much i wonder how many i wonder how you all feel
about this because it almost makes the infinity stones seem like they're not that important right
so we see that casey you know tells him you know here is the infinity stone the tesseract and as
loki's digging through this drawer he comes across the other infinity stones and listen the people at
the tva this is how they use this is how important infinity stones are to them they use it as paper
holders and potentially paper clips and not as world destroyers as thanos use it as and oh my
goodness ladies and gentlemen this is when loki begins to realize that this is one of the greatest
powers in the universe because they don't even care what an infinity stone is it doesn't even
have the the powers in the tva so i'm kind of torn about this because it almost like slaps the
the the infinity stock out of the way like oh you know it's not that important there's more bigger
i mean again this is what gets me excited for phase four because we've barely scratched the
surface we have no x-men we have no fantastic four so many villains so many characters that
we're gonna dive into cain the conqueror galactus you name it i can't wait but it almost was kind of
like a slap in the face like infinity stones aren't that important especially when you're
dealing with the tva but let me know what you all thought about that moment in regards to the
uh less of an impact of the infinity stones cut to loki realizing that he maybe needs to stay
here for a little bit as he goes back to mobius's office again he sees his mother die he sees the
events of what happened and thor ragnarok with his dad die and just seeing all the stuff that kind of
what he's created you know this madness that he's kind of created in his path to claiming the throne
and we even see the the replay in the moment of him and his brother thor in the elevator we even
see the death of loki in my favorite avengers film my favorite film in the mcu avengers infinity war
we see thanos cracking his neck i love the that moment again the score in the show
the tone it's just working it's nostalgia it's new it's fresh i'm just really enjoying this show so
far in this first episode it's just i'm just so hooked in the show but again that was such
a big moment for loki to see this because he tells mobius as he comes in the office
i don't enjoy hurting people because that's the whole thing that mobius wants to get from loki why
do you do the things that you do as he's trying to study loki as we'll find out here quite a bit but
i love this moment it's kind of quieter moment that we get between those two characters as he
says he doesn't enjoy hurting people which is the moment i think we get this new version of loki
a mixture of evil loki the god of mischief and someone that wants to do a little bit of good if
it gives him something to do as well so this is i think his new path for the rest of this series as
we see him having this kind of one-on-one moment with hunter b-15 as he gets the best of her he
ends up putting her in that time loop thing which i love that device by the way i can't wait to see
more of that device in the future episodes but he gets the best of her he wins this particular round
as we kind of wrap up the episode loki goes over a little bit of his mindset of why he is desperate
for control and why he has the mindset that he has as we see again the finney stones do not work in
the tva and this is where we're given the mission for the weeks ahead and this is the bigger bad
this isn't about loki but another version of loki the fugitive variances they're out there
they're killing the minutemen and loki has to hunt another version of himself as we wrap up in
oklahoma 1858 we see the minutemen have gotten some type of remnants of this variant low-key and
this is where the show gets dark because they burn alive we see that version loki puts that
time reset and the end of the episode who is this version of loki i have my theories you
know i think that it's pretty much been outside i i said out there that there is an actress that
may be playing a version of loki and particularly lady loki so i think we can maybe look forward to
a character like that or maybe it is king the conqueror maybe it is a variant version of loki
that i am so excited to talk about in next week's episode but let me know you guys thoughts on this
first episode what worked what didn't work who do you think this version loki is what do you think
about the mephisto uh reference in regards to the devil in the mirror what do you think about kang
are we getting other characters from thor's universe whether it be thor himself hemdall
uh you know odin hella you name it what's your thoughts on what to expect in the weeks ahead
and let's talk about in the comments again guys we'll be diving deeper into this episode on
