Really engaging and fast-moving episode without a boring scene.
Loki kinda finally feels like the main character in his show and his character arc in this episode shows how far he's come from The Avengers.
It's a really exciting episode and makes you more excited for the finale, but still feels underwhelming when these really excellent plot points could've had more buildup with more episodes for the season.
The problem is, that the pacing is sometimes so fast that it feels like the side characters don't get enough characterization, if at all. The runtime is the same as the first season, but season 1 felt like it packed way more storytelling and revelations than this.
This could've been one of the best seasons of television if they gave it at least 2 or 4 more episodes. But characters die before the audience gets to know them and care about them.
Nevertheless, this episode is probably the best of the season so far and I like it a lot because it's a really chill episode with great visuals and choice of music, and of course, Loki is at the forefront of this episode.
Another big disappointment is that I Know that this isn't gonna have any real impact or effect on the MCU as a whole. It's funny that I saw the reactions of a lot of people to the previous episode saying (mostly joking) "Well guys, the MCU is over" and all that. Because back when season 1 came out, I also thought this show was gonna have a real impact on the movie side of MCU, but guess what? 2 years and many movies later, it had near zero impact on it. Like they don't even make you feel how dire and grand the deleting of branches is in this show alone, let alone in the MCU.
If they actually made the decision to let this show lead to real change in the MCU, like replacing Kang with Doctor Doom after the event of this season, or any other actual big changes caused by this, then I would be less disappointed. Like even WandaVision had more impact on the MCU and the multiverse than this show. I hope this is leading to something good, because as much as these past two episodes were good, this season didn't have enough time to deliver a well-developed plot and characters.
Nonetheless, this episode was really good and I hope they don't do the Disney Plus tradition of giving us a rushed 30-minute finale, and deliver and actually well-written and satisfying final episode instead.
