    not gonna lie, i enjoyed Loki… not much tbh… but it was nice to watch while nothing else to do. And i could only enjoy it because i pirated it. Watching it, knowing i paid for it… would’ve made me angry

      The first season was fine, this last season was a waste of time. Each episode amounts to nothing and there is sooo much repetition that I was thrown back to Heroes season 2 during the NBC writers strikes.

      I don’t know if S2 of Loki was the way it is because it was trying to change Kang or because it was trying to be impressive. As of now, it seems like the latter.

      All that said, S2 of Loki was “technically fine”, the acting was decent-good, the visuals weren’t terrible for 90-95% of it, good soundtrack. It was just the premise and how it was written that fell flat for my friend and I, and we’re both just kind of bewildered by the positive reception to it. Like, is the bar that low for people? Were we expecting too much? Is Disney just astroturfing? maybe a little of all 3. But holy heck, compared to other shows like Gen V and Invincible coming out each week we are so hype and sad about those episodes ending and we watch Loki and go… “that was it? ok…”

      I did like the ending, though. Pretty much the only part of the show that wasn’t sci-fi technobabble and actually amounted to something and a smidge of character development. Even still, it was only okay I guess.
