here's my initial reactions to loki season 2 episode 2
OHOHO STARTING OUT WITH THE SUITS I SEE
am i supposed to know who brad wolfe is or did they make this guy up? i’m gonna go with “they made him up”
oooohh it’s x-5? i bet he’s not gonna be undercover, i bet this is the original him
“i used to work with this guy!” HMM?? SACRED TIMELINE MOBIUS PERHAPS?
[watch as the asexual viewer desperately tries to figure out if x-5/brad is actually flirting with mobius while loki stands jealously off to the side or if xyr simply imagining it]
WOOO B-15
is this x-5 undercover or is he his original sacred timeline self?
OOOOOOOHHHH HERE COMES LOKI
OOOOOOOHHH HE UNBUTTONED HIS SUIT YOU’RE IN FOR IT X-5
happy stimming from me as the chase scene ensues
AAA HE HAD ONE OF THOSE TIME-DISPLACEMENT THINGYS
OOHHHHHHH THE GANG IS AN ILLUSION
LET’S GO LOKI MAGIC LET’S GO
INTRO TIIIIIME
b-15 is in a suit now!!
ouroboros!!
miss minutes is helping renslayer? not that surprising tbh
eyyyyy casey has read ouroboros’ guidebook
brad’s cell is Way Too Orange for my taste. also it reminds me of a swimming pool for some reason
brad shut up challenge
“it’s you. you’re the problem” i regret to inform you that the first thing that popped up in my mind after he said that was that song with the lyrics “i’m the problem, it’s me”
i said, BRAD SHUT UP CHALLENGE
okay brad now you just sound like a schoolyard bully
oh dear
mobius. what. that was a terrible joke
OHHH wait i am a silly i get the joke now. delayed reaction there
whenever they make actors say “i’m not an actor” it yeets me into the fourth wall
uh oh looks like brad can dish some of mobius’ tactics back at him
ooo it’s the slice of pie scene!
why. why is there a room exclusively for slices of pie
mm i kiiinda feel like that was an extreme oversimplification of the new york incident that leaves out a lot of key details, but i suppose i can stand it since it’s in the context of loki joking around with mobius and trying to cheer him up?
i do like that they’re expanding mobius’ character tho
ouroboros!!
“invalid temporal aura” says the computer. “what does that mean” says this confused viewer
hey brad watcha doing on that very uncomfortable-looking floor
that ominous machine reminds me of a cotton candy maker. not sure why
y’all left the cell door open
also i’m hoping this torture is a misdirect and it’s not actually gonna be torture bc uh glorifying torture is Not Good
hmm i’m thinking that loki closing the door without mobius is part of the plan. probably
hold on i just realized that the cell locks from the inside. that doesn’t seem very effective, prison-wise
ohhhh this is gonna be the cage thing that was in the trailer. hmm
CASEY IS GONNA MEET OUROBOROS!!
“hey nice to meet you! :D we’re all gonna die!”
AWWWWW THEY’RE SO CUTE TOGETHER
and now, the mcdonalds ad
damn sylvie killed 400 minutemen?
oh boy here comes the confrontation scene
where did sylvie get a car. sylvie is that your car
ah yes the obligatory “character confirms that mcdonalds food Does Indeed taste great”
“and then i freaked out and basically tortured you” um yeah are we gonna talk about that or
apparently not. apparently torture is normal and acceptable behavior in tva culture
aaaaand of course mcdonalds has to make sure that we know that we can order their food to-go
uh oh what’s about to happen
OH SHIT THEY’RE BOMBING IT ALL?
hold up hold up i thought branches couldn’t be pruned once they reach red line. did the writers forget that
that battle was a bit anticlimactic to me
all of the branches being pruned is a pretty big thing to happen in episode 2
no end credits scene this time

listen to me
I need everyone to understand that this shot came after a very deliberate storytelling sequence where Sylvie and Loki separated, and after Loki made the active choice not to follow her (a reversal of s1 ep2), and after he made the active choice to stay at the TVA and stay with Mobius
and speaking of Choices that were made: this image right here was excessively choreographed and is very POSED
this moment right here is not, strictly speaking, “realistic” behavior; they had everyone freeze and Loki do this action of putting his hand on Mobius’ shoulder because it’s for the audience to Notice
so WHAT IS THIS CONSTRUCTED POSE TELLING YOU? WHAT ARE YOU NOTICING?
