This show is amazing and I am quite surprised at some of the comments. My thoughts are some of them never even got past the first few episodes. Stock with it as this is a show to love. It also sets up the multiverse, and Kang for the MCU so clearly more important than people say here.

I'm pre-emptively giving this a meh cause I'm sure this show is not gonna surprise me. Halfway through we have one filler episode and one of the most uninteresting reveals possible and cliches so expected and boring that I feel I know exactly how this will end I dunno why I expect anything interesting from these shows. I keep hoping that we'd get Legion again cause Disney owns Fox and Legion was an X-Men property. I don't mean we'd get a reboot or whatever of Legion, just that they'd take the interesting ideas from Legion and make something interesting and zany and truly whacky and avante-garde. Instead, WandaVision was uninteresting and terrible and this takes a genuinely interesting character and flanderizes the shit out of him I should probably give up on the MCU shows and just watch the movies. At least they're short Edit: watched the last episode. Yeah I'm not changing my rating. The pacing was awful. The finale was messy and the [spoiler]cliffhanger [/spoiler] ending was unearned. The fights were heavily edited poorly choreographed chaos

Loki is my favourite Marvel character so I was really looking forward to this. What a disappointment it was unfortunately.... They’ve turned Loki into some kind of comic relief, he is completely out of character and the humor and jokes are terrible. The pacing is bad, the balance of power changes all the time (at times Loki can use powerful magic, at others he can be pinned down by a couple of humans), the dialogue is simple, the fighting is all over the place. The ending doesn’t really explain much either. As others have commented, it feels like this series is more focused on establishing the idea of a multiverse for future films than on Loki. The fact that it has already been renewed for a second season shows how popular the character is and that people want to see more of him. But not like this...

I don't understand how if Loki is a God, they have lowered him to just a cheap magician. Are the time masters more than Gods? Also, the plot that they are creating is deviating from something that puts Loki as the lead character. It has nothing to do with interests he would have. He is not the kind who would want to save people from a bad situation. He would only be looking to grab power. This show is just going into some strange weird direction. With each episode it's less interesting, and more off focus. Loki is just a pawn in this shows game!

Honestly I feel pretty let down by the Loki series and not just because of the [spoiler]weird, gross “selfcest” thing[/spoiler], but because Loki is not himself at all. The hamfisted way they skipped years of character development is bad enough, but his skills, intelligence and physical prowess seem to have evaporated. Even his mannerisms and the way he speaks are different. Loki has been rewritten as a completely different character by people who haven't the faintest idea who he is or his previous history. Even Ragnarok treated him better than that. The movies have established Loki as a 1000+ year old powerful sorcerer, master manipulator and clever strategist from an ancient alien civilization. But he has also spent his life being second best, never quite fitting in and not knowing why. However the show is seemingly trying to imply Loki lived a charmed life as a spoiled prince, all in an effort to prop up Sylvie, the "superior" Loki, whose life has been anything but. It's all completely ridiculous and makes me resent Sylvie just for existing. The once clever and highly adaptable Loki has been reduced to comic relief, a bumbling fool the plot is happening to, but barely has any effect on the story. He’s just...there. It’s sad to see. I really don't understand why Marvel keep punishing characters that apparently became more popular than intended, instead of embracing them. Loki was sidelined to the point he's even being treated as a sidekick in his own series. Also [spoiler]Sylvie and Loki kissing[/spoiler] was one of the most cringey and uncomfortable things I’ve ever watched.
