Science/Fiction

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.

I loved this episode most of all so far. Because for once we actually got an episode that was more character driven, by Loki who the Loki series is about( or at least should be). I think my biggest problem with the whole Loki series I general was that really. I didn't mind when they brought in sylvie because she is a Loki, but I had quite the issue with Loki's whole story having to be set aside in order to prop up Kang as the next big bad. This season didn't complicate the whole Multiverse/time travel thing too much so even if you don't like sci-fi timey wimey stuff you'll get it. We actually got to see how people in these timelines live and how scared and shocked they were to see their reality disappear. Honestly what a great episode 👏 and Tom Hiddleston deserves his Emmy for his performance as Loki. He's always brought life to Loki , but in this episode in particular he was flexing his acting muscles like crazy. The rest of this cast including Ke Huy Quan, Owen Wilson, Wumni Mosaku, Sophia di Martino and Eugene Cordero were incredible as per usual. Not to mention Loki season 1 and 2 have been consistently visually appealing and cinematic. Moreover the score is always on point thanks to the genuis of Natelie Holt. You can tell a lot of effort was put in this project and that makes me happy overall. Can't wait for the finale.

"Loki" Episode 5 of Season 2 is a perfect 10 out of 10, and if I could, I'd go as far as 20! This episode is a masterpiece of scriptwriting and storytelling. It expertly weaves together elements of time travel and multiverse theory, leaving us with a thrilling narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

One of the most captivating aspects of this episode is the clever nod to "Back to the Future." The way the show integrates these references into its storyline is nothing short of sutil and brilliant.

The suspense in this episode is palpable, and it's impossible to look away. It's a rollercoaster of emotions as we witness the characters grapple with their destinies and the implications of their actions. The character development in this episode is top-notch, making us feel more connected to the characters than ever before.

Tom Hiddleston's portrayal of Loki is, as always, exceptional. He has truly made the character his own and brought a depth and complexity to Loki that fans adore. It's safe to say that Loki is not only the standout character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he's also the driving force behind this incredible series.

In conclusion, "Loki" is a true gem in the Marvel universe. It combines outstanding scriptwriting, nostalgic references, suspenseful storytelling, and exceptional character development. If you're a Marvel fan, this episode is a must-watch, and it cements "Loki" as one of the best series in the entire Marvel franchise.

This was a great penultimate episode to the season! It's exciting, mind-blowing, awesome, and just everything the show is all about! It has beautifully set-up the Season Finale, and was one epic and emotional ride, not missing a single beat after Episode 4's jaw-dropping cliffhanger ending!

At its core, this episode is intimate. Although the story is, of course, very large-scale, it has a heavy focus on the characters, and relationships between them. There are many moments that pull on the heartstrings, and I'm genuinely so excited for the final episode of Season 2

Going into this episode, I didn't know where they were going to the story, but it was a great choice by the writers and creative team! Regardless of how the finale is, this season had been great!

This episode understandably starts somewhat slow and this is good, it needed to. It really feels like all the branches came together here over the two seasons really. In fact, it feels like this show is coming to a conclusion which would be a shame, it has been consistently good to epic.

This episode has so many great moments, really funny ones too. It feels like this is the result when you get some great actors involved and give them a fun script to work with, they bounce off each other so well.

It definitely felt like a set up for the finale but it was done in a really fun way. I am really looking forward to the last episode and seeing where all of this comes to a head now that Loki has basically levelled up. If he isn't killed off, he might well become very important moving forward because of what he can now do.
