Breaking Brad

Second episode of Marvel's most awaited show, Loki Season 2 is premereired and here's my thoughts on this episode i.e. "Breaking Brad"

Positives :-

1. This episode shows Loki's abilities and magic illusions and also offers some good action sequences.

2. Whole episode is interesting and engaging, you don't get bored.

3. Tom Hiddleston acting is on fire.

4. This episode feels more of Loki and more focussed on his character arc.

Negatives :-

1. The colors theme look a bit washed out.

2. It reduces it's focus from main threat.

Final Thoughts and Review :-

Overall, "Breaking Brad" is a great episode, it's enjoyable and entertaining, has some minute flaws, but it is definitely an improvement over it's first episode and makes it a worth to watch.

Honestly, it's probably one of the worst episodes (if not THE worst) in the series so far. That's not to say it's not great, though! It's intriguing, and continues the story very nicely, with some awesome action and visuals effects!

The sole purpose of this episode was just to move the story forward. I'm not going to go into any specifics to avoid any spoilers, but it just felt like an episode that needed to happen in order for the rest of the season to be able happen.

Overall, it just wasn't anything special, which is a little disappointing considering how amazing most of the show is. Still a pretty great episode, though, that's probably better than anything we got in Secret Invasion!

A 7/10 because the episode feels dragged out, and not so much actually happens. But the score is hold up and the episode works very well because of the magnificent acting and great dialogue. This is one of the best acted TV shows Marvel has ever done.

This also show us that the general idea behind the current Marvel story of timelines and alternative universes can work if done correctly. Still a bit confusing for many viewers, but here it work.

There are no real negatives in direct sense, except perhaps the way to obvious product placement from the worst food no one should ever eat. Instead my negatives about this episode is that although the dialogue and acting is amazing, it is also a bit too much of it. They drag things out too much.

The series is alright. It's arguably one of the most high-stakes stories in the entire MCU, involving entire timelines and the multiverse itself. The story, the acting, and the characters are decent, and the production is solid. But I'm just not as invested as I feel I should be. There's this recurring theme of billions of people facing doom in the first two episodes of season 2, but it doesn't faze me at all. The show isn't bad; it's more like I've lost interest in the characters. Maybe it's superhero burnout; I can't say for sure. I can't help but compare it to how engaged I was when Thanos was wielding just five Infinity Stones to wipe out half of one universe. Now, with entire timelines and billions more lives at stake, and where Infinity Stones are mere paperweights, my enthusiasm is lacking.

In episode 2, one of the most devastating tragedies and loss of lives in the MCU occurs, but it didn't affect me as it should have. I'll continue watching the rest of the season, but if the show were canceled right now, it wouldn't bother me all that much, making it difficult for me to label it as a great show. I think even if those who enjoy it asked themselves if they'd truly be heartbroken if they couldn't watch the show anymore, and the answer might be not as much as expected.

It's not particularly memorable. I'll tune in for the new episode, but by the time I watch another show's episode, Loki tends to fade from my mind. It's not bad, but it simply fails to make a lasting impression. Of course, Loki is crucial to the new Multiverse phase of the MCU and the introduction of Kang, and it's on a grand scale, but for some reason, it doesn't slap I expected it to.

I have no idea what's going on in this series. The plot seems neglected in favor of disconnected scenes. What's happening? Why are the characters motivated to act in certain ways? Who is everyone? What's this all leading toward? The episode is rather heavy handed at times in demanding that the viewer make an emotional investment, yet without realizing what is at stake this is asking for more than is provided. The chemistry between Hiddleston and Wilson is good and that keeps the scenes flowing. Oddly enough, the script is better written than the storyline itself. Again, what is happening and what is the point in this season? It's not clear and it's not clear why I should care.
