disney+ Loki

[danielravennest]

Shazam! Is one of the better films. Missing the first Suicide Squad is no big loss. The one coming up looks good. There's also Birds of Prey, which is not exactly clear how to fit chronology (probably at the end).

Shazam is more of a standalone film than the ones leading up to Justice league.

Loki deftly transforms its "puny god" into the Daffy Duck of the MCU

We all enjoy a lovable loser, and nobody in the MCU has lost more lovably than Loki

I could argue Loki is the most known character in the Marvel Disney+ lineup.

Phil Coulson was in 5 MCU films, and 7 seasons of a TV series. Nick Fury was in around 13 of the films.

What's your point? Coulson is persona non grata in the present MCU timeline. Fury Files is more of an infomatic animation, not a Disney+ series.

I could argue Loki is the most known character in the Marvel Disney+ lineup.

He's also been in 6 movies so far, not 3. (I know some like to try and forget the first 2 Thor films, but they still count.) And it's pretty public knowledge that the events in WandaVision and Loki are setting up the next Dr. Strange.

I guess you could say he starred in all the films he's been in, but I was just counting Kenneth Branagh's Loki, Loki: The Dark Timelord, and Loki: Ragnarok.

Falcon Captain America and the Winter Soldier had a very specific job to do. It could have done it with four episodes or shorter episodes in my opinion, but it was there to put Sam in the Cap uniform. It threw a few balls in the air to play with later, but it had a more traditional narrative structure because the characters are well known and the major points were pretty much pre-determined. It was good for what it was, it just isn't Marvel's most ambitious storytelling.

Spoiler: On the other hand...

WandaVision was the first series to put Wanda at the center of the story, and it had lots of magic to build on her powers and her potential. It also had some mentions of the Nexus and other concepts that seem to be important in a couple of upcoming movies, both Spiderman 3 and Dr. Strange 2 appear to have the multiverse as a major element.

Loki has starred in three movies already (I think Thor was in them) so we know him better, but we now get to see a bit deeper. But if the TVA is on the level, there currently is no multiverse. So I'm not counting on the TVA remaining unscathed in the series, unless they are lying about the multiverse (possibly without the field agents knowing). Before next year, there will be a Multiverse of Madness or else the Dr. Strange film is going to be a major letdown.

These two stories are links in a bigger picture, much the same way that they built up to Avengers and then Infinity War. I see them as having much more impact on the longer MCU plans than passing off a frisbee. WandaVison and Loki are expanding the universe to pull in more characters and stories (perhaps even adding mutants to the MCU).

Given that they un-killed Loki, I think they could undelete the multiverse. Especially with time travel! Most likely, though, is that either the Time Keepers didn't do as thorough a job of knitting things together as they thought they did our someone had been working in opposition to them that they will need Loki to help defeat.

You forget Loki: Avengers. And to some degree I could make a case for Loki: Infinity Wars. Loki: End Game is really just a cameo.

I was rebutting your point that Loki is the most known character. Not everyone has seen all the MCU films, so total number of appearances of a character leads to them being well known. If you allow for people's recognition of a character from sources outside the MCU in addition to their MCU appearances, I would rank Spiderman first, due to comics, TV series, and films previously.

To take myself as an example, I knew very well who Spiderman was decades ago. Thor I only vaguely knew about as a superhero, and Loki I only knew of from mythology.

If you go back to Veritable's post, in the spoiler you'll see the characters being discussed were Falcon and Winter Soldier, Wanda and Vision, and Loki. Because we're talking about the current crop of Disney+ shows, not all of Marvel.

Disney's attempt to copyright Loki led to one user's artwork being taken down, Twitter not happy

I say let them fight! We have seperation of church and state, not separation of chirch and corporation. I want to see companies like Disney and Amazon go after the vatican next. Televangelists, too. Let all the assholes destroy each other so they leave the rest of us alone.

I haven't had much to say but I'm definitely enjoying the show.

Alligator Fat Thor is cute. Free is now alligator Loki Thor

Despite all of the various Loki's that turned up, I don't recall any of them being particularly fat.

What's the disagree about? Did you look at Free's avatar icon on here? It's alligator Thor.

It's Frog Thor (who apparently is comics canon).

A hero we all love in never-before-seen form makes for one of the greatest easter eggs in MCU history.

From the pix further down in the article it seems 'Throg' does a bit better in the comics. I never heard ad of this doggo and froggo Avengers comic. Sounds like fun, lol.
