Loki: Journey Into Mystery (2021)
Season 1, Episode 5
4/10
A let down
5 February 2024
A lot of people seem to be quite enjoying this ep, oh of course, the enjoyment is still there, especially the ending with the CGI party and music, although I'm no longer excited about the unknown giant monsters without any shape, accompanied by a cloud of black smoke and lightning clouds... just watch Fantastic Four 2007 to see how boring these creatures are. Anyway, with all that CGI, there will be people who will enjoy it, especially children. I prefer to comment on the story and characters, which doesn't satisfy me at all. In the end of this ep, with a universe-time story level, our boy and girl Loki opened the portal to a mysterious castle Wtf lol where the truth will be revealed in the final ep. For our couple to be there, this entire ep took us from TVA to the Lokis' hideout, a bland and disappointing journey. Even the love scene between Loki and Sylvie and the romantic green blanket was too long and nothing special. I don't expect them to kiss, but all the versions of Loki in this ep have nothing of Loki other than the horned helmets. The lines containing a lot of information about The Void and the nexus event do not bring as much excitement as episode 1 because everything in TVA is not new anymore, so viewers easily being confused. Tom still shines with his Loki character, but the others like Ravona, Mobius, B-15.. have weird and boring performances, we don't even know how Sylvie and Ravona left the Time-keepers room. And the world of The Void is also a limitation, with a world at the end of time, I expected The Void to be a more eerie and chaotic place than a green plain. In particular, we did not see any explanation of life after death for ordinary creatures, remember that our story is outside of the ordinary world. When I saw Tom's take on the other Loki, I thought this Loki had a bigger role. Damn.
