The best character in Loki for me is without question Miss Minutes. There are a lot of choices... the character work was phenomenal. Can’t remember her name off hand, but the main field agent was hateable at first then slowly became likeable. But Morbius was sp great... yeah, Owen Wilson, but just the overall development was awesome. My only gripe with the show was the usual over written and complicated time plot. There’s a reason Stein’s Gate occupies the sole dramatic spot for tightly written story involving time. It gets confusing, but it makes sense in the end. Time Cop, Doctor Who, and Back to the Future (one only, 2 and three take liberties) are the only others near as tight. Loki may get there with Season 2 but I dunno.

I overall have to disagree with you about the characters, since most I didn’t find very well written. Or just didn’t like. The only two Lokis I like are Old Loki (it’s Richard Grant so no surprise he acted well) and Alligator Loki (and people’s reactions, like Old Loki and Morbius chatting about him. “He could be lying, playing the long con. But that makes him more likely to be a Loki.” XD) My main issue was pacing. Some parts went far too slowly, taking an hour in what should have been half that or even less. Meanwhile other things went far too quickly, like Morbius betraying the TVA. Did like the aesthetic. Had a Vault-Tec feel to it which was fun. And I liked some of the detail they had, like including the myth of Loki cutting Sif’s hair when she was asleep. Or all the Easter eggs, like the Thanos Copter.

A little late but I just binged the last two shows... - Walker is a villain? Huh?! He ain’t perfect, but fuck if he didn’t try to live up to the CA/Superman ideal only to be fucking human. Remove all the heroism and sacrifice he already showed, the fact he “snapped” and killed someone that helped kill his best friend.... yeah, I probably would too. And he still helped in the end. He and Bucky were the best characters in the show. - why can’t Falcon cosign on a loan? There is no way he would be refused in universe. Utter bullshit to push a narrative. He’s famous and financially stable, hell that gets you everywhere in our world. Dumb plot point. - Torn between Sam and Bucky as Cap. Sam fits right now in the story, but it feels like the end game should be Bucky redeeming himself and donning the shield. - Zeemos needs a show of his own. Well written and such a great actor. - Overall.. really inconsistent. Too much preaching and appealing to the twitterverse narratives at times but then Bucky and Zeemos were homeruns. I’d say Walker is, but I think we weren’t supposed to side more with him over others. And like I said, he's got a boatload of wealthy and famous people who'd serve as character references, or could even float him a loan themselves! Personally, I think if Steve Rogers is retired, so should the mantle of Captain America. Walker should be an object lesson in trying too hard to be someone else. Though I'd gladly watch a USAgent series... Mobius was awesome. I actually prefer alternate universes to most other versions of time travel (the one exception being the "closed loop" method) But yeah by the end they seem to be violating their own rules. Hopefully Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will straighten things out a bit.[/quote]

Black Widow as a really, really, strong movie. It was everything that Falcon and the Winter Soldier should have been or even Captain Marvel. I detected some slight political meaning in the subtext but nothing too overt and Natasha is a strong enough character, weak enough character, and Scar Jo is a strong enough actress to pull it off. But yeah this movie felt like it definitley was a proper spy thriller in the MCU, taken right up there with James Bond or MI...with No Time to Die out this year its going to be curious to see which ends up being the better movie...though this movie is definitley not quite as strong as Winter Soldier. So, lets see here strong characters and character moments, strong sense and exploration of theme, the action was inconsistent...some set pieces were cool and some were kind of not...also bugged me that characters would just dissapear for a while at time...oh and the humor was really on point.
And well since its also has been discussed, Loki, Wandavision, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier. I personally really loved the finale of the show lots of great conversation and Johnathan Majors was excellent as 'He Who Remains.'

I was 100% sure there would be a scene of Yelena trashing a hallway full of bad guys to American Pie, and now I'm devastated.
Also don't see how "not too political" is a point worth praising. Media is not under any obligation to be "neutral", creators are fully entitled to have opinions and express them in their work. And the fact that mass-appeal blockbusters are touching on issues like immigration and trafficking is fantastic, actually.
Nearly all the Marvel movies have been political, going all the way back to the first Iron Man. Black Widow is super political. Like, it's explicitly about patriarchal exploitation of women, and poor women of colour in particular.

Shhhhh.... this forum is averse to the REALITY that almost all art is informed by the politics of the day and artificially separating the two to make a safe space is ludicrous. And... I'll go back to observing other things

I enjoyed the bulk of the black widow movie. The pseudo family were very good, especially the sister. Unfortunately I thought the cheesy ending stunk. Ohh I thought Winston was absolutely appallingly miscast.

This ScarJo situation is very bad for Disney, and the MCU. The optics of their legal department, holy hell what a bunch of asshats. I expect to see solidarity from the previous Avengers cast. It may happen slowly, or behind the scenes, but they have fucked themselves for talent. Yes, actors are greedy too and they like to make money just like the next guy. However, this is a bridge too far and they know it. The obvious sexism in their response was a lot to digest, and shocking in this day. Gabrielle Carteris' statement on behalf of SAG-AFTRA was pretty strong. ... This is part of a bigger problem. I am not ever going to work on a Marvel production again. I wasn't interested anymore anyways, it is a life draining experience and since COVID it has only gotten more ridiculous. This accumulated garbage is just too much... I see a future where I say "Yaharr!" a lot, have a peg-leg and a parrot on my shoulder, a cold rum drink full of lime. A sailor's life for me.
I am not alone though, so here's the rub - there is a massive brain drain going on in film production right now. This is only going to drive away more good people, and even those that don't leave the industry entirely will choose not to work on Disney/Marvel productions because working those is no longer worth it financially for the headache and life trauma involved. Disney is not taking my money much longer. Aye.

She had a contract. Disney knew how her contract was incentivized; this all happened with Christopher Nolan with Tenet on HBOMax, and HBO did the right thing.
So, you can have little sympathy for a rich person, I get that. There is no real argument that Disney has, and cutting ties with her completely is going to be a major backfire.
Disney is going to lose. Either she will get a gigantic public apology, and a bunch of hush money, and this all goes away, or they have fucked themselves and we have seen the beginning of the end for the Feige MCU.
I am not really hyping this. I believe it is already happening.
