Naturally! Loki should most likely be a team-up series as well, though it's not advertised as such. It's definitely not going to be the all Loki show and new characters like Mobius and Ravonna Renslayer should play major roles in achieving whatever the mission is. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 Quote The Time Variance Authority exists at the heart of the Marvel Studios show, as they are the bureaucratic organization responsible for repairing damage to the timeline — and Loki just happens to be their latest culprit. Because of Loki's actions in Avengers: Endgame, he will be teaming with the enigmatic Mobius M. Mobius, played by MCU newcomer Owen Wilson. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige told Entertainment Weekly he's excited for fans to see Wilson's debut alongside Tom Hiddleston in the new series. We've already caught a glimpse of Mobius' interactions with Loki in the trailers released and he's shaping up to be a very interesting companion. "Mobius is not unlike Owen Wilson in that he's sort of nonplussed by the MCU," says Feige. "[Loki] is used to getting a reaction out of people, whether it's his brother or his father, or the other Avengers. He likes to be very flamboyant and theatrical. Mobius doesn't give him the reaction he's looking for. That leads to a very unique relationship that Loki's not used to." Hiddleston also expressed admiration for his co-star, praising his ability on the set as an actor. Wilson asked him what he loved so much about playing Loki for all these years. "And I said, 'I think it's because he has so much range,'" Hiddleston said. "I remember saying this to him: 'On the 88 keys on the piano, he can play the twinkly light keys at the top. He can keep it witty and light, and he's the God of Mischief, but he can also go down to the other side and play the heavy keys. And he can play some really profound chords down there, which are about grief and betrayal and loss and heartbreak and jealousy and pride.'"

@therealsilvermane Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 It seems like the time travel science of “Avengers Endgame” is more like “Back To The Future” than Tony Stark says. In “Back To The Future Part 2”(which I watched yesterday and had really forgotten about), when Old Biff travels to the past to give Young Biff of 1955 the sports almanac, he creates an alternative parallel branch reality where Biff becomes Hill Valley’s richest man, which leaves Marty and Doc Brown to travel back to the past and that point of confluence in 1955 to repair the fractured timeline. I suspect, from the trailer evidence, that this is what the TVA tasks Loki with in this series. So time travel in the MCU is more like Back to the Future then they say. According to Doc Brown’s science in Part 2, Marty traveling to the past in Part One would also have created a separate timeline from the old, one where George McFly is a success in life and not a loser.

Bosco685 Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Quote The third Marvel show for Disney+ is Loki, and it’s a safe bet that viewers are going to love the cleverly written buddy comedy dynamic between Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief and a newly introduced celestial middle-manager played by Owen Wilson. But might this new series again fall a little short when it comes to traditional superhero thrills? Well, that’s something for Marvel’s next series to worry about. The six-episode dramedy (episodes run roughly an hour) begins in an alternate version of 2012 created as a result of the attempt, in Avengers: Endgame, to retrieve the Tesseract, which falls into Loki’s hands and leads to his escape. He forms a new timeline, earning the ire of the Time Variance Authority, an organization entrusted with protecting The Sacred Timeline on behalf of three Time-Keepers who… I sense I might have lost you there. Let’s make this simple. Or simpler: The Tesseract lets this variant of Loki exist in a timeline in which he wasn’t killed and Thor: The Dark World didn’t happen — frankly, we should all be so lucky — but also one in which Thor: Ragnarok and other subsequent movies haven’t happened or won’t happen, to the chagrin of some powerful unseen figures (Disney accountants, presumably). Loki is like a jazz musician of time villainy and the TVA is very insistent that everybody stick to the notes written in the score. Waldron finds just enough different ways to keep inserting more information, and director Kate Herron effectively makes Loki feel like more than a series of mythology dumps. There are dark flourishes of Coen Brothers-esque humor by way of Philip K. -style paranoia that arise from the bureaucracy of the TVA. The retro-futuristic production design from Kasra Farahani gives the impression of a world in which no expense was spared in 1972, and then nothing was subsequently updated. The TVA has a look of epic claustrophobia — browns and grays spiked by occasional bursts of color — and cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw has fun playing around in the shadows as composer Natalie Holt’s score milks every bit of oddness. After two episodes, Loki is at a tipping point. Having set everything up to an exhausting degree, things could be lined up to get really entertaining — if not zany in a Rick and Morty way, perhaps fun in some of the timeline rupture-of-the-week ways The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow has enjoyed with a similar premise and much less seriousness. The show has barely begun to take advantage of Mosaku and Mbatha-Raw as anything more than frustrated authority figures or to find enough outlets for veteran scene-stealer Eugene Cordero, positioned for a breakout as comic relief in an already amusing show. Or Loki might just be a lot of Hiddleston and Wilson talking, which might still be engaging for six episodes, but will surely require Marvel course correction, once the audience murmuring begins piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
