I am so happy for so many reasons.
For one, Taylor and I actually didn’t miss a ton in this episode, and that in general makes me feel good. I promised before that we aren’t quite as bad at finding things or noticing important moments as the first two episodes made us seem. And now maybe we were more accurate because this episode was less related to the TVA, where I think a lot of hints get thrown at us that we don’t fully understand. Being on a planet/moon in the future allows for fewer opportunities for moments that tie to our MCU world. Not to mention, the TVA is an interesting organization that we seem to know less and less about each episode, so whenever they are involved things are always confusing.
But of course, it would be wrong of me not to mention the momentous moment of Loki coming out as Bi. It was beautiful and I am so happy to see Marvel representing the LGBTQ+ community, especially with characters who are not inherently straight in the comics. It is definitely a big moment for Marvel and I am really excited for what this may mean in the future.
Make sure to listen to Loki Episode 3 podcast, as there is a lot to go over from this episode. Further details into Sylvie and who she is as a person is 100% important for understanding our 2012 Loki, along with understanding the TVA as a whole. Her variant lifestyle is also critical for this whole time travel conundrum that we have been facing since Endgame.
Now rumor has it that episode 4 and episode 5 of Loki are Tom Hiddleston’s favorites. I don’t know about you guys but I do trust the man with my life. So I am very excited to see where we go, as episode 3 did end with Loki and Sylvie not making it off a planet that was minutes away from being destroyed. My thoughts are the TVA will likely grab them, since I can’t for the life of me think of how the two of them would get out of this situation, but I suppose anything is possible in Marvel.
We are almost halfway done with Loki and while I know we are all crying about that right now, I want to give everyone a quick reminder. Black Widow is coming out in less than two weeks!! If you haven’t bought your tickets, get out there and get them so you can watch it opening weekend. As she is one of my favorites, I am praying that this is not her last movie. Unfortunately, as of right now I will face the facts we know and assume that it is. Either way, we have waited over a year for this so get ready and get excited! New podcasts and blog posts are released each week (as of right now) to keep up with all the content coming our way. On top of this, check out Twitter as well to interact with us and see some great Marvel memes. As always, (and this goes for movies now that we are finally getting new ones), keep up with all of the content that Marvel is releasing, because Marvel just blew your mind, so let’s talk about it.
