The big question is "how much lower?" I mean are we talking a loss of 5% viewership or 30%? And yikes, just read the article, a 39% drop. Wow!

This show was the high water mark for MCU creativity in the last 24 months or so. It's disappointing to see it sliding. But it's sliding on a weak story, the diversity angle hasn't been overt thankfully. Let see how series 2 of What-if goes. The episode with the made up Native American character reeks of "inclusion", but at this point, the plot was hatched within the deep grasp of Kathleen Kennedy's reign. Too late to salvage expectations. Hopefully it's not going to be nowhere near as bad as series 2 of Star Wars: Visions Edited November 3, 2023 by Microchip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microchip Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 An entire series of Star Wars: Visons, with a distinct and unique flavour... about young girls beating the empire with grit and tenacity. Beige and TupennyConan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money talks but unfortunately, I don't really have faith in the Marvel heads right now. They are going to drive this ship into the ground if they do that.

Dr. Balls Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Loki finally got weird. I enjoyed the last two episodes a lot. And Moebius? He's turning out to be one of the most likeable characters in the MCU since Phil Coulsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this was the basis for him being the good guy, and endearing. Not the strongest of character developments, and kinda sliding into 'just' another Owen Wilson character. The writing crew at this point could do with picking up a few of the back issues, and having a read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have a soft spot for Owen Wilson, but you’re right - he is basically the Owen Wilson Character. But I do like him in that role - the mellow, words-of-the-wise character. Maybe he didn’t die in that shuttle crash in Armageddon - he just got snatched up by the TVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beige Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Christ, Jonathan Majors is atrocious. He isn't got a lot to work with admittedly, but he is a very,very bad choice in this role. They need to either re-think Kang, or replace Majors. Not minding Loki TBH - it's not great, but not Eternals level terrible. Dr. Balls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beige Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Well I watched the last one - and whilst not fully understanding all of it - I was entertained. I guess this makes Loki the: Spoiler God and Guardian of Time and Space? Microchip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 It was a satisfying conclusion. In my opinion, it’s the best written of all the Marvel TV shows. 5/5 BuscemasAvengers and Rip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
