Grey,
Indeed that was my take too. He Who Remains was basically a Proto-Immortus. The only difference between Immortus in the comics came after Kang had basically gotten tired of getting his butt kicked.
Joel,
My guess is you're on the right track.
Tri,
Not sure upset so much as "We should have seen it coming..." Maybe. I just am in awe (SLIGHTLY) that they managed to keep Majors appearance/performance under wraps THIS well.
Maybe next season, Tri.
Yeah, Michael B Jordan wasn't the reason the reboot failed. But as for whether we'll get a black Mister Fantastic...eh. I mean let's consider the fact that Nathaniel is DISTANTLY related to Reed by at least a few centuries. But still.

By the 31st century He'd be distantly related to nearly everyone on earth at the moment. It's why he had to have the blip undone : it would have knocked out half his ancestors otherwise.
I expect them to have Annihilus first before having Doom show up to be the hero. Just because it would be on brand for Doom to showcase his ego. As for Kang and Doom..eh.
Season 2 for me is probably necessary after they figure out the rest of Phase 4.
Anyone else watching season 2?
I'm tired of time travel and tired of Marvel setting up its next big thing, and I want to be tired of Loki the character, bot Tom Hiddleston is just so damn good. As is the rest of this cast.
So glad Ke Huy Quan (it is very early in the morning so I am sorry if I misspelled it) is having his time in the spotlight. Love him as Ouroboros.
DQ,
I've seen the first two episodes. I know plenty of us are a little tired with time travel...but with the TVA, Tom, and Key Hu, and especially Owen Wilson with Tom....just some great stuff. (And yes Sophia is great too.)
I can't wait to see how this season goes.

I'm definitely enjoying it. Pretty much every single minute of the show I have no idea what's going to happen next, and love that. Even great shows tend to follow a certain amount of formula each episode, but Loki manages to keep me guessing throughout.
To be fair, I don't think I'll ever be tired of time travel, and still not tired of MCU in any way.

I'm not recalling the Loki fighting TVA with knives scene specifically, but if it was IN the TVA home realm/base, it was established in S1 that magic doesn't work there, and Loki was limited to just physical things and normal trickery. Similarly, the infinity stones don't work there.
It's unclear what other power restrictions may exist in the TVA, but their time travel tech does. Would be interesting to know if other super powers and or high/tech works or doesn't - would Iron Man armor fail, would mutant powers, etc?
I'm assuming that most mutant powers probably don't work there, but I dunno.
I thought that Loki's problem with using magic in the TVA was due to the prisoner's collar which he was wearing, not the nature of the TVA itself?
And wasn't the drawer-full of Infinity Stones more a statement about how there's one set in each parallel reality? If the TVA had been pruning each new variant time-line as it cropped up, then it stands to reason that they'd pluck out that time-line's Infinity Stones to prevent anyone from mis-using them - particularly against the TVA's agents.

No, I believe the indication was that while--yes, they had plucked a bunch from other timelines, the stones don't work in the TVA, nor does any magic. I think even Wanda would be powerless in the TVA (and think about it, there's gotta be a few pruned Wanda variants).
Pretty sure the prisoner collar just let the TVA guards and agents to remote control the prisoner with various time effects.
That sounds about right.
that fake stutter and koCH sound the actor kept emphasizing was like nails on a chalkboard.
Does marvel not have a sound engineer for these things?
I'm fine with Jonathan Majors trying something different to keep "Nathaniel" from seeming the same through each variant.
...And the season ends with Glorious Purpose. :)
I don't think it's UNLIKELY or likely there won't be, but it seems at least for now, it might be a while before we see Tom Hiddleston as Loki. I mean we might get a Loki series with Sylvie instead.

I actually think we could get Tom as Loki again in stuff, maybe Secret Wars, maybe What If? season 3, etc. But don't think we'll get him in Loki TV show anymore. And I think we're more likely to get Sylvie and the rest of the TV in other stories than their own for quite a while. It would be pretty awesome if Sylvie shows up in Thor 5, and he says "who are you?" to which she replies "Loki" and just takes up the Asgardian Loki frenemy to Thor role.
Mm. Maybe. Mostly I want Tom's Loki to help Thor get the REAL power he needs: Odin Force!
