The "speech" Sylvie gave in response to Mobius wanting pie really bothered me. Not only is it ridiculous because the previous scene made clear the team is just waiting for the technobabble to be done, but this is the exact same woman that didn't want to leave her McDonalds job in the 1980s at the start of the season because she literally didn't care anymore... And Mobius isn't proposing they leave, its literally a moment of levity while they wait to go on their dangerous mission. No wonder this show doesn't make sense, the writers can't remember what happened two episodes ago, how on earth can they remember what happened two years ago. This must be why Sylvie is so insufferable, she's not a character, she's a McMuffin.

Ehhhhhhh... Now that I had some time to think, which is probably more effort than I should have put into it... The TVA works across all of time. Which means that some of the pruning would happen in the subjective future from where the timeline started branching again (it would be cool to have a date for that. If it started branching all the way from the start, I want to know if the MCU happened in a branching or non-branching version of the universe). If those prunings now never happen, would that undo the destruction of the timeline? Would that make the variant a RikerClone of the version of him that never got pruned? Or is there still a "pruned" third version of the branch from a single event? Because either that happened, or the TVA agent needs to disappear in a grandfather paradox of epic proportions. Either uncountable trillions of people remain dead, or the TVA agent can't exist as (s)he never got taken for breaking the rules as the rules aren't enforced any longer.

I think Loki is an example of how fandom actually poisons the legacy of characters when the primary fandom exists outside of the core demographic - Loki was beloved by tumblr girls for being le evil effeminate heartthrob, so as soon as anyone from that fandom culture had creative control, they of course co-opted him as their ideal version of a character someone else made. Hell, it doesn't even have to be someone with creative control; enough marketing influences, which we know media marketing in general to already primarily seek opinions from that core demo due to city-slicker cultural bias, will lead to the selfsame outcome, nice-boy Loki put down by girlboss self-insert designed to be brave but not conventionally attractive enough to be isolating for that very specific alt-nerd girl audienxe.

In absolute fairness to the writers, it was pretty clear in context that what Loki meant was “Slyvie, you wanted to free the universe from the TVA railroading history, but doing that means reality is about to collapse under its own weight from the multiverse growing out of control. You have a responsibility to save existence itself from the consequence of your actions and put the multiverse in a stable safe condition, because liberation means nothing if it results in immediate death.” Its badly conveyed because Sylvie is a Mary Sue and pacing no longer exists, but it’s the closest anyone is allowed to get to criticizing her so I’ll take it.

Johnathan playing Kang feels like the cool guy jock trying to pretend to be the weird eccentric nerd having absolutely never even approached the feeling of lacking confidence. It’s kind of a tragic backfire of crafting a charismatic public persona as an actor, like be probably has. He’s just doesn’t know what it’s like to be a little more timid, less assured and nervous. I mean he’s literally paid to convincingly act like other people so it’s failure on his part but it does also suggest miscasting. He does not have the range to play both Kang the conqueror and Timely.

Also, what reason did Brad have to continue working with the evil ladies once the clock got turned off? Like, he's the one that's armed, i don't see why he wouldn't turn on her. Hell, he might take issue with her killing the other prisoners. Or he could just run away. I could even see the Lokis just asking him to help them because he's just some dude (called Brad) who was forced into working for the evil lady, skipping the whole mind control part which just makes the whole part confusing.

It’s because they spend way more money per episode than typical TV shows. In other cases if it happens without huge CG budgets, it’s probably because they just want “content” and aren’t willing to invest in case a show doesn’t hit it off. Or not to whatever their standards are. This was a problem before streaming was ubiquitous too. A ton of shows would get a debut season in the Fall with 12-24 episodes, and be cancelled before the next Fall.

The snake eating its own tail is a pretty apt symbol, since it is one of self cannibalization, and one of stagnation. The snake never goes anywhere, it just spins in a stationary circle. It's a good symbol for the pointlessness that is the multiverse.

So... where does the story even go from here? Minutes is offline, Renslayer is pruned, and the minutemen are all dead. They just tied up all the loose ends for the season this episode. Even Timely Kang is spaghettified. All of the villains of the season are now either dead or pruned with the exception of the movie actor guy.

Regardless, I'll reserve my judgment for the episodes when I actually see them, but, like I said before, this really isn't a good sign. It's highly unlikely that the next two episodes aren't going to be either random nonsense introduced at the last minute, retcons to undo at least some of these events so there can actually be an antagonist, or both. Also, yes, it is the correct use of the term retcon. Bringing these people back would be a retroactive change to continuity. It would also count as a fakeout death, among other things.

@@AlphaOmega1237 Retcon does not mean fake out death. Retcon is when a writer changes something previously established and pretends like it was planned that way the entire time. Darth Vader being Luke's father was a retcon because that's not what George Lucas originally had in mind when he wrote A New Hope.

In the last episode, Dark Loki reveals he has the omni-timestone to rewind all time in all the branches and also become God of Time.

Ever notice how whenever a franchise like Harry Potter or the MCU introduces time travel in a movie they immediately have to shove it in the closet and pretend it never existed after the fact, like how in Endgame they time travelled but now nobody ever thinks to time travel to make inconvenient things not happen because if they did the duct tape and prayers holding the plot together would spontaneously combust?

So there's too many timelines going into the loom, there's no space for them, they have to multiply the space so they can fit. How the fuck does this work for an infinite amount of timelines, where even getting out of bed slightly later creates a new one?

Whoever did the editing for this needs to fucking chill, holy god. Zooms, tilts, and accentuations are great when properly placed, as they can bolster an awkward moment or funny gag by highlighting absurdity or a break in silence, but when you CONSTANTLY zip-zoom and rotate like you did in the first minute, they lose all of their power and can even actively annoy anyone paying attention to the visuals because it's so frenetic and spastic for no reason.

Loki is spastic for no reason. Fringy’s just matching the vibe.

"initiate protocol 42, and now let me explain to you a computer what that protocol is for dramatic spectacle."

The editing of this video was really fun! Fringy singing though was such a treat.

Guys, you better use that "I promise you this will make sense" as an alternative to "Watcha bring me?". It's too hilarious not to be used more :)))

22:58 There would be a 100% Chance of some, if not ALL of the People in there beating the Leader Lady to death if it possibly meant not being *CRUSHED ALIVE.* None of them would be just watching in awe.

I don’t know if that “Dark Loki” thing is a tease by Mauler or made up, but it sounds believable in this show where literally anything could happen for no reason and be stated as sensical.

All of this talk (and singing) about being out of time just reminded me of something that's actually worth watching... "Out of commission, become a pillbox. Out of ammo, become a bunker. Out of time, become heroes." - 'Tank Boy' Daskal (The Beast of War, 1988) - Great movie... is it too late to add this to the war arc?

Brad is like that random character that appears out of nowhere in comedies like "oh, hi Bob" and then disappear only to re-appear again with the same "oh, hi Bob". (You know what I mean?) Also 5:20 I like Fringy singing voice ngl

As much as I enjoy listening to the critical analysis of media that EFAP got their name for. I find myself smiling, guffawing, and generally having a more joyous time when I listen to EFAP Reacting. I'm especially fond of the Boba Fett series of EFAP reacts.

"You'll never be him." "I dont even know who you are."

If it wasn't for Loki as a Marvel character linking it to their MCU, nobody would care about this schlock enough to criticize it.

Allowing corporations to get their tentacles over popculture was a crime against humanity.

Are they...are they stealing from Wheel Of time? "The dark one" existing out of space and time, The great Serpent which is represented as an ouroburos. "Threads of time" woven together into the pattern? It feels like they took the more metaphorical and are trying to make it physical. I mean I'm not saying Wheel of Time was by any means first in terms of the idea but this feels REALLY similar.

am i tripping or has efap tv always had the blue efap movie scene MauLer must of been recording an efap movie and forgot to change it back?

Wait, did Loki/Sylvie always have mind control powers like what they did with Brad? I thought the mind control powers he had in Avengers were only because of the chitauri staff that had the mind gem in it? Have I missed something or was this always a power of his; and if so, then why did he use the staff to mind control in Avengers versus just using his own magic? Is this just one of those powers that a character has where we have to purposefully ignore it exists 99% of the time for plot convenience?

with how confused the crew is here, I want them to watch Legion and try to figure that out.

Disney have managed to find a new type of sludge with this. It's completely terrible but also absolutely nonsensical. The main sludge pipe that Kenobi and Ahsoka slopped out from has split a leak and Loki adds a little something else to make a slightly different sludge. Maybe the fat Donald's cooking oil?

The most emotionally affecting moment so far was seeing a bunch of people getting crushed in a way my mind can't properly comprehend and seeing a dude get spaghettified. Which are both highly unpleasant concepts and the fact that those are my ONLY emotions so far, means this show just kinda feels highly unpleasant. Also "Stop acting! There's no point!"

23:10 "Look at fucking ... clock.." - MauLer 2024

The last few seconds of this episode reminded me of the end of 'Melancholia' by Lars von Trier, when the screen goes white.

So... another question. Variants are created when the timeline splits. Basically every version of a person on a different timeline is a variant. The only reason the TVA variants are special is because they are the only survivors of their own timeline. But then explain Timely. If he is a Kang Variant, then every single Kang was born somewhere in the 1800s. Because they need to have been inevitable at some point in a split. Anything else wouldn't have created Kang, like if say another little swimmer fertilised the egg, or another egg detached, it would have been a different person that was born. So either all the Kangs created time and multiverse travel with 1800s tech, or there are universes which are thousands of years ahead of us. But then why could Timely create the loom? Why is he "He Who Remains" if the rest has an insane technological, industrial, and logistical advantage over him? Why does nothing here make sense? And to think they could have prevented this by grabbing him from the future...

But wait... there couldn't have been an 1800s version of Timely which lived in an advanced technological age because that would mean it wasn't him that was born in that universe. Nothing could split at a point where Timely Variants were inevitable that would result in thousands of years of tech difference.

14:50 righteous indignation of someone who just demands to be right, someone in the writing room really needs fired over that one strong female character has to argue that you shouldn't do small thing when you can't do anything, but also you should be doing other thing that should be completely counter productive to what's going on, like... what? Sylvie's just such a black hole of writing, has to be someone's pet project "have you ever /dared/ to look into your past?" have you? like... from where everyone's standing, she's the cause of all this, yet she gets to 'win the argument' ...followed immediately by another woman that gets to win the argument against a stunned male who just has to stand there for the verbal lashing, AGAIN, man, hollywood loves this nonsense way of "arguments" in their writing now... and great, only time someone else gets to talk against Sylvie... is when they're lifting her up?

So Ravonna was more of the architect than Kang and more ruthless than Loki. Gotta love it.

Kang has officially died a pathetic death in everything he has appeared in thus far

Meanwhile, to be fair, Ravenna is sometimes regarded as a serious general in the main comics canon (whatever that's worth now). Kang's still the overlord, but he can't do everything himself everywhere (mainly because his different versions like to compete against each other). So he's okay with delegating.

It's always surreal to see this stuff after listening to reviews and realizing just how bad it actually is. Its one thing to have someone say characters make bad and nonsensical decisions and list a few examples, and quite another ro watch it happening one after the other in the story.

OMG that ending gave me Season 5 Finale of Lost flashbacks
