It shows the Ferris Wheel in episode 3 in 1868 but it wasn’t invented until the Chicago World Fair in 1893. I’m currently reading The Devil on the White City and that chapped me
1868 is when they drop the book off to the young Victor, when they go to the fair it’s 1893 and it’s a branched timeline.
The nerd cast people out there pretty much all say today is the best episode of the first 4 so I’m getting excited.
So Loki formed his own Ouroborus by pruning himself but I wonder how they break out of the cycle. No clue.
I thought the prune sticks sent the individuals to the end of time? Not back in time like Loki, so where was Rayvonna sent to?
Only complaint so far - B-15's crybaby face and talking in every other scene for the past few episodes is getting pretty annoying and she's not particularly good at it or believable.
The box got tiny. Fucking hell. Just the audio. That's one of the most brutal scenes, and it's left completely up to your own imagination to visualize. Miss Minutes is a psychopath
Also Casey taking the multiplyer downstairs randomly was weird. Did he mess with the machine? Spoiler Casey = KC = Kang the Conqueror
Any chance that scanner uploaded HWRs memories into Victor? I think he knew exactly what he was doing. He magically got brave after putting his head in there
My working theory is that Kang Prime is still pulling every string. Before this episode I also assumed Timely was Kang Prime because that is how the comics went. Now I don’t know.
The thing I learned from this episode is that I apparently wasn't paying enough attention to the first three episodes because I don't know what just happened.
I think they need to lower the stakes on some of these shows. I know the good guys pretty much always win in the end, but the whole time and everything ceasing to exist kind of takes me out of it because obviously that's not going to happen. at least let me get caught up in the moment with something believable. last season did a good job of that.
are we basically looking at an endless cycle here, like this keeps repeating itself, and we get a he who remains?
Guess I'm not paying attention enough either - when did what they were doing with the loom have to succeed or it's the end of everything existing? I thought it just was going to wipe the TVA off the map. which doesn't seem like the worst thing TBH
They keep mentioning the end of all time, but I also think the stakes might just be the end of the tva and maybe one of the branches. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this season. They still seem uninterested in making big moves in the shows to set up movie plots, but I wondered if they would have more Kang stuff to kickoff the next avengers plot. Interestingly, they are keeping the storyline pretty self contained. Not much more going on than interactions from the characters we already know that were introduced in the first series. The stakes feel small. I would say smaller than a movie. I’m enjoying it, if for no other reason than the Hiddleson/ Wilson chemistry.
I don't know what they're trying to accomplish with this season but I don't think it's working. In large part because we're five episodes in and I have no clue what they're trying to accomplish.
