One thing I'll always give to Tom and Owen is that their on-screen chemistry is great. Even when the show is literally cinematic gibberish, they're doing a great job convincing me Loki made friends with this time auditor. I would like Loki much better if it were more like these two, hanging out, undergoing perfectly mundane office hijinks at this point, as all attempts to do "action" and "drama" have resulted in garbage. Give me Mobius and Loki doing time sheets, and Loki sitting there, bored, trying to kill time, then Mobius is like "I'm gonna go on break." and Loki is like "Oh I'll go with you!" and Mobius is like "No, you won't, you need to work 6hrs before you can take a break, you have done the exact OPPOSITE of work, you've made MORE work for us to do. You gotta sit here and finish these time sheets. I'll be back in 15 minutes, don't worry." and then Loki has to try and fill out boring paper work, whilst something INCREDIBLY exciting is going on in the background. Like, we hear updates over the loudspeaker about something super cool and super Loki-esque where Loki would be really cool and Loki, because he's friends with Mobius, has to fight the urge to shirk his duties at work just to go have fun. Maybe it's taco tuesday and that means something TOOOOTALLY wicked in the TBA. Then at the end, Mobius comes back, and he *brought Loki tacos* and it's like "aww! he knew loki wanted to have lunch with him, and it was taco tuesday and, he knew loki missed the big adventure that loki loves to go on, but, he did bring him tacos, which is more exciting than not having tacos. These two are real good pals." and it would be nice and simple and have no need to connect to some multiversal time bullshit, just two guys, workin' a shift at a boring job together, trying to find the silver linings in a miserable situation.
What baffles me the most about all of this is: What the actual fuck does any of this have to do with Loki? Why out of every character in the Marvel universe do they pick and half-asgardian, half-frost giant god to traipse around multiverse and time-travel nonsense? You use Loki for nordic mythology-inspired illusion shenanigans. Who came up with this idea? He looks so horrendously out-of-place, down to wearing regular human clothes all the time. It's so weird.
I just kept thinking during season 1 how out of place the opening and ending of the series is. It looks like "looking for this mysterious mythical figure" which would be super cool for Loki... And then the show starts.
22:24 I am confused... because I seem to remember - at the end credit scene of Quantuumania - all the Kangs were just chillin' out in a giant arena not at ALL attacking each other over timelinear dominance... in fact... they seemed to be able to work together to stop the Ant-Man Kang from existing... we have yet to see ANY Kang, other than the two around Loki and Ant-Man, being even remotely fighty about the timeline...
I just still can't believe this is supposed to be Loki, the norse god of mischief. The evil, deceitful, selfish, trickster that tried to enslave Earth, and dropped a 9/11 level catastrophe on New York. Who is this honest, selfless, cooky scientist man that wears suspenders? It's almost as if the character wasn't originally supposed to be Loki, but Tom Hiddleston nailed the audition, so they thought "fuck it, let's make it Loki."
26:22 This reminds me of the issue in Looper... If something changed the past, it would not change the memories associated with them. This is done a bit better then Looper (Because it is memories and not cut limbs or scarring) But the way Loki handles time travel is just so astoundly "Make it up as we go along! "
I tried to figure out Looper time travel while watching the movie but gave up during the cafe scene when Bruce Willis said "Don't try to figure it out". I knew at that point the writer was too dumb to have figured out the specifics before writing the script and I thought no way would I see more movies from them...at the time, I had no idea who Rian Johnson was. 😅
@@discatmatt It's so weird that that line is in the film and Rian Johnson said that the time travel aspect was "not that important" when it is literally the plot of the film!
I'm not entirely sure this is accurate. From what I understand, memories are created because when neurons fire a pathway is created in order to streamline the process for the future. The working theory is that those pathways persist through time to provide the quick recall access to information we experience as a memory.
If something changed the past such that the event that created the memory never happened or altered the way it happened, of course it would change the memory or obliterate it entirely. Unless that's some bullshit from Looper specifically.
i could be wrong, but i thought the general discussion from past efaps was the show actually confuses all of them it actually enters la la land for them cause nothing works
Owen Wilson, Tom Hiddleson and Short Round were the only redeeming parts of this series. Those 3 actors had good chemistry and played off of each other well. Other actors detract from the quality they bring, and any plot point not involving them directly was purely detrimental.
32:53 In defense of Rags this time, Rags was working out the criticism on his own time, and was distracted from Metal saying the same thing. Other times when this happens, it's in a stream where the video in question is paused, and there really should be no distractions from the only person currently talking. That doesn't stop Rags though. He brains too hard.
Them bringing up Underwater and showing one of the most horrifying deaths I've seen in a horror movie. Is the scariest thing and will stick with me longer than anything since Endgame in the MCU has, so thank you EFAP. For recommending Underwater then reminding me it's a horror movie that got me.
I love how creators try to tell us that he can't timeslip with objects that he's holding but forget that clothes are just things that are touching him and yet they stay on him.
I loved the part in this show when Loki used his limitless time power to acquire the spingbob to fix the techno matrix conductor and got to see Dave in the past when he was a barista at Starbucks
Loki is a weird show about a man being haunted by a stupid looking visual effect. There are also lots of scenes happening where people say things that make no sense but they look pretty neat and the acting is pretty good. Also a woman is being rude to a McDonalds worker. Yeah thats about it.
So... I have two main issues. The OB bit, he could have gone "and now that Loki has been sent to the past and everything is happening how it should have, here is the thing we need to tix everything" the second Loki disappeared rather than the whole "changes propagate through time at the speed of on-screen presentation." It would have been funny, it would have referenced time paradoxes and an easy out, and it wouldn't have been dumber than the joke from Bill and Ted because that was actually well written. "Remind me to put this here when we travel to the past" was a great moment of thinking with time travel. The second one is the bit where Loki was pruned to detach him from time. Hadn't he been pruned once already? He should have been pre-detached. Or did he get re-attached at some point?
Thank god. I thought I was gonna be able to experience a whole day without shitwater cringe. But then boom, Mauler and friends swoop in to ruin my day in the final hour.
30:39 You know... it's a good thing Loki stopped slipping back 100 years into the past like he has been doing all episode... otherwise Short Round could have all the time in the world to find a solution to the current problem in the present...
19:23 The reason why they should notice is that they are monitoring the entire time line amd moving back and forth in time at will. All they need to do is allow branching and go ahead a million years and see if there is a problem. If so, go back in time and fix that one problem.
this seems like a show that would be on in the background at the house of a distant acquaintance where you have to spend a whole day for nebulous reasons; maybe you're young and your parents have dragged you along to a dinner or something and off in the living room while you're trying to eat someone is watching this and you're trying to figure out what in the green hell is going on. Except that's the experience of watching it directly. Everything is a gag and nothing makes sense yet we're for some reason expected to take the dramatic moments seriously. This just looks like gay nonsense.
It was all over and done in Woki S1 E1 with Infinity Stones in the drawer. "Hey, member that epic canon we set up over a decade? Lol, it means nothing. It's just a joke to us. And if you don't join in with laughing at what you loved yesterday, you're just a toxic hater, you toxic hater."
34:50 I think they missed here that he is intentionally not counting in seconds, at least, from the acting that's what it appears as though is intended. OB *_knows_* he should be closing the gate, but he's intentionally stretching the time as a sort of "come on, be saved by the bell" self-justification. He knows what he should be doing, and he knows he has to, but he's intentionally delaying it because he wants them to get back in time.
The TVA isn't actually outside of time. Time flows there and that's consistent throughout the show, in episode 2 of season 1 Mobius explains that branches play out in real time which is why the TVA has to chase after them in real time. It's never actually said that the TVA is outside of time, and Mobius saying the TVA doesn't HAVE a past is in present tense because its past happened but you can't go travel there (except with timeslipping). With that said, the show and timeslipping's mechanics are actually much worse under the correct interpretation, especially in the later episodes of this season. Loki season 1 and 2 are at a tie for worst written story I've ever seen, and easily the worst of the MCU. They're so bad that people genuinely don't understand just how much is wrong with them.
I genuinely cannot understand how people can still be invested in this universe. I can sometimes get invested in a story with weak characters if the world itself is really interesting but I just cannot find anything to be interested in when it comes to the MCU at this point. And why is THIS the series normies still try defending when they actually seem to admit that the MCU is “MiD” now? It confuses the shit out of me
3:03 if the recap of Loki’s life was stretched out to one maybe two episodes to let the realisation set in so that looking change be mostly exceptional.
21:00 Because the Prune stick just removes whatever it touches to the end of time. So they just built that wall right in front of the statue. They seem to be on a loop of kang being public to kang hiding behind the time keepers. Loki has to find out the truth for the story to move forward. This is all "Kangs plan" or so he claims. he must end up at the end of time talking to Kang, where Loki makes a deal with him.
What I found funny about this show is the amount of people, who will admit most of phase four and now phase 5 is crap, but for some reasons say that this season is carrying the MCU. Yet every time I ask how it's better they either just say "shut up it's good" or "Loki's journey was so meaningful" without substantiating it whatsoever.
@@DennisDemonTime simple, it's just as bad writing wise however the production value, acting, and some of the dialog is above Antman 3 and The marvels so the normies just ate it up.
@@Terriblyexplainingcomics believe what you want, I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't have a habit of scrolling through Tiktok or TH-cam shorts. During which there were tons of "cool" edits of loki fixing the timeline, making ygdrasil, and taking a "throne" while "burdened with glorious purpose" And meme videos of Loki walking up the stairs pulling the threads with phase five, mcu, the marvels, antman 3, etc written on them with a caption that says "Loki carrying phase 5" And you'll see over a hundred comments agreeing with the sentiment and any time you question any of them they'll say some along the lines of my examples.
Why is it even possible that Loki can disappear for the exact amount of time in the future/present as the amount of time that he is in the past since the past has already happened? Shouldn’t he just spawn back immediately after disappearing since the past isn’t running concurrently with the present/future?
My friend thought loki was great. I said isnt it weird how hes so.. nice? She said duh hes maturedd. Nonono, this is 2012 loki, evil, now he watched a montage of things that to him never happened and that’s a very crappy way of having “catch up”. Like imagine if i showed you a video of you figure skating and becoming evil. You wouldn’t just.. change, youd say wtf was that?? Then i got the, ohhhh…ok maybe it’s not good. Well at least you’re willing to understand
26:00 Paradox or closed loop, doesn´t matter its basicly the key to EVRY information you ever want, with this enabled, like in Harry Potter, you have instant all you wanna know ever.
The way they explain how the solve him time slipping does make sense. Time Slipping is giving loki TRUE time travel. (canon) Normally when you travel you go from one UNIVERSE to a DIFFERENT, Loki is Closed Loop time slipping. he's disappearing from one area, into the past of the same reality, and is able to make changes. So what Was, is and will always be. Now them solving it is easy, they Prune loki, he gets sent the end of time. But before he can get there the extractor GRABS him out of the timeline and places him in the TVA "Present" . My only question is "Why have this be a problem to begin with" they must have had a different story set up.
I think we need a marvel show where three characters, for example Loki Mobius, and Ouroboros, just talking they never leave the room and the hinges on the dialogue and the actors to pull it off. If Pre Endgame Nick Fury, Tony Stark, and Sam Wilson in a room was the show, I guarantee people would watch it.
Honestly , looking foward for the last episodes Wumbo talk abou it in open bar , but i cant recall what he said And i wana see its raw emotion on the subject
While the TVA makes absolutely no sense, the amazing sets and vfx that go into realizing it make it so cool, and it’s honestly the only way they’re able to get the audience to suspend their disbelief; by making the place feel so lived in and fleshed out
Uh-oh- there wasn't an EFAP watch-along series for the first season of this, so I haven't seen it. Now I might not understand what's going on in this season!
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the TVA (seemingly easy to do), but that whole vast futuristic city shown outside the window is all TVA, right? Or is the TVA just a tiny office buildin g in a future city? Maybe it's a whole ass future civilization that sits outside of spacetime. My impression is that the vast futuristic city is all the TVA. But, aside from showing that CGI background cityscape, the TVA - an organization that patrols all of time and space - feels really, really small. It doesn't feel like "yeah, this is just the Juno, Alaska office." It feels like what we see is the TVA and that it's extremely vastly tiny for what one might think it should be.
The device kind of makes sense. if we're at a point in time on the physical "timeline" and I prune something It goes to the last point in "Time" But the device snatches that object and is hurling forward to the last point in "Time". Loki had until the light turns green UNTIL the next object/person is pruned. the device is set to grab whatever is moving next.
Also the TVA is on a circle Timeline I assume time does move forwards but at some point everything resets and they are reliving the same amount of time on the second loop. I can see why Loki is "skipping" The OLD PAST and the NEW FUTURE are at the same point in time. when he goes back he's living the First set of events, when he's in the present he's writing a new future.
what upsets me most about this show is, they could have taken out the silly Victor Timely stuff in the past with the loney toons chases and explained how the flow of time works in the TVA.. it would have GROUNDED the story.

Time flows there and that's consistent throughout the show, in episode 2 of season 1 Mobius explains that branches play out in real time which is why the TVA has to chase after them in real time. It's never actually said that the TVA is outside of time, and Mobius saying the TVA doesn't HAVE a past is in present tense because its past happened but you can't go travel there (except with timeslipping).
With that said, the show and timeslipping's mechanics are actually much worse under the correct interpretation, especially in the later episodes of this season. Loki season 1 and 2 are at a tie for worst written story I've ever seen, and easily the worst of the MCU. They're so bad that people genuinely don't understand just how much is wrong with them.
It’s very interesting seeing how the gang sees endgame now vs when it first came out
I really liked left-avatar guest in the Secret Invasion full breakdown. Glad to see him back!
I genuinely cannot understand how people can still be invested in this universe. I can sometimes get invested in a story with weak characters if the world itself is really interesting but I just cannot find anything to be interested in when it comes to the MCU at this point. And why is THIS the series normies still try defending when they actually seem to admit that the MCU is “MiD” now? It confuses the shit out of me
I'm not looking forward to having to rewatch this. Even with the guys' commentary...
Completely forgot about this show
It's so funny to me the only ones doing actual content nowadays for marvel's most watched show is the efap crew.
It's ok as long as you remember Dobblin.
3:03 if the recap of Loki’s life was stretched out to one maybe two episodes to let the realisation set in so that looking change be mostly exceptional.
Finally. Was waiting to see you guys rip on this show.
What an unexpected Birthday surprise 🎂, getting to watch an abysmal train-wreck of a show with EFAP commentary🍿. #Outstanding
21:00 Because the Prune stick just removes whatever it touches to the end of time. So they just built that wall right in front of the statue.
They seem to be on a loop of kang being public to kang hiding behind the time keepers.
Loki has to find out the truth for the story to move forward. This is all "Kangs plan" or so he claims. he must end up at the end of time talking to Kang, where Loki makes a deal with him.
So MauLer singing Ellen McLain Special when? 🎵
Turret Opera would be appreciated btw 😂
Waiting for the next episode of EFAPtv is the only thing that brings me joy in life
I adored getting to see you guys watch this with hope in your hearts. Knowing how it's all doomed to turn out :P
What I found funny about this show is the amount of people, who will admit most of phase four and now phase 5 is crap, but for some reasons say that this season is carrying the MCU. Yet every time I ask how it's better they either just say "shut up it's good" or "Loki's journey was so meaningful" without substantiating it whatsoever.
And what’s your opinion?
I’ll take “something that never happened” for two
@@DennisDemonTime simple, it's just as bad writing wise however the production value, acting, and some of the dialog is above Antman 3 and The marvels so the normies just ate it up.
@@Terriblyexplainingcomics believe what you want, I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't have a habit of scrolling through Tiktok or TH-cam shorts. During which there were tons of "cool" edits of loki fixing the timeline, making ygdrasil, and taking a "throne" while "burdened with glorious purpose"
And meme videos of Loki walking up the stairs pulling the threads with phase five, mcu, the marvels, antman 3, etc written on them with a caption that says "Loki carrying phase 5"
And you'll see over a hundred comments agreeing with the sentiment and any time you question any of them they'll say some along the lines of my examples.

34:11 Loki’s trying to find all 7 dragon balls, it seems.
I would love to see you guys' reaction to the final episode of this show.
"This is truly Peak and Fire" - Maulerino
Starting with a portal 2 reference 🤌
Why is it even possible that Loki can disappear for the exact amount of time in the future/present as the amount of time that he is in the past since the past has already happened? Shouldn’t he just spawn back immediately after disappearing since the past isn’t running concurrently with the present/future?
"We met the man at the end of time, and he made sense."
Never in the tides of history has a more untrue sentence ever been spoken.
"Why do people keep reacting like that? If that happened in front of me I'd be like" H O L Y S H I T!!! "😂
I can see how a viewer who doesn't try to follow the plot intellectually would really enjoy this.
Its really nit that complicated 😅
@@kristienwhitney-johns5863its not complicated at all its just the writing is awful
@@XgoodbyeX I may have to rematch tbf. I thought it was good
I like the fact that the universe let's loki give out exposition precisely between teleports. they couldve done so much with that as a mechanic
My friend thought loki was great. I said isnt it weird how hes so.. nice? She said duh hes maturedd. Nonono, this is 2012 loki, evil, now he watched a montage of things that to him never happened and that’s a very crappy way of having “catch up”.
Like imagine if i showed you a video of you figure skating and becoming evil. You wouldn’t just.. change, youd say wtf was that??
Then i got the, ohhhh…ok maybe it’s not good. Well at least you’re willing to understand
26:00 Paradox or closed loop, doesn´t matter its basicly the key to EVRY information you ever want, with this enabled, like in Harry Potter, you have instant all you wanna know ever.
There's something mildly interesting about how two characters that live in a timeless infinity are named after things that loop back into themselves.
The way they explain how the solve him time slipping does make sense. Time Slipping is giving loki TRUE time travel.
(canon) Normally when you travel you go from one UNIVERSE to a DIFFERENT, Loki is Closed Loop time slipping.
he's disappearing from one area, into the past of the same reality, and is able to make changes. So what Was, is and will always be.
Now them solving it is easy, they Prune loki, he gets sent the end of time. But before he can get there the extractor GRABS him out of the timeline and places him in the TVA "Present" .
My only question is "Why have this be a problem to begin with" they must have had a different story set up.
Ever occurred to anyone that chickens don't fly, they simply fall with style. Nothing to do with the video just something I noticed.
can't wait for the next episode
I think we need a marvel show where three characters, for example Loki Mobius, and Ouroboros, just talking they never leave the room and the hinges on the dialogue and the actors to pull it off.
If Pre Endgame Nick Fury, Tony Stark, and Sam Wilson in a room was the show, I guarantee people would watch it.
Im low key (get it?) excited for this
I'm sad we didn't get a season one EFAP TV reaction :(
Rags and mauler completely defeated "you can't remember the future" sums it up I think😂
25:40 I got so much gratification watching this scene play out for you guys. & I assume it's not for the reason you expect.
Honestly , looking foward for the last episodes
Wumbo talk abou it in open bar , but i cant recall what he said
And i wana see its raw emotion on the subject
So much excitement, so few second seasons.
I had to double take I thought the title of the video said you were watching loki with Qorantos, that would be wild lmao
Brooks is low-key hilarious
At last, I get to find out what happened in Loki s2
Loki: "Something terrible is happening."
Yes, season two!!!
I absolutely love short-round.
Edit: The actor. My comment is not in any way associated with the quality of the show hahaha.
While the TVA makes absolutely no sense, the amazing sets and vfx that go into realizing it make it so cool, and it’s honestly the only way they’re able to get the audience to suspend their disbelief; by making the place feel so lived in and fleshed out
They still haven't mentioned anything about the giant statue sticking out of the Earth
For anyone wondering, they actually start watching the show at 10:28
The wait is over
Uh-oh- there wasn't an EFAP watch-along series for the first season of this, so I haven't seen it. Now I might not understand what's going on in this season!
oh, snap, here we go!
The way they fixed Loki's time-hopping issue is by turning off his time and turning it back on
Is Jedi Brooks the guest for Marvel shows, and Theo is the guest for Star War shows?
yes, because Meme couldn't be bothered to show up.
So this like the plot to the End of Eternity mixed with Bioshock Infinite, except Asimov was really really smart
rags is clearly on his way out gonna have to take him behind the barn one of these days
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the TVA (seemingly easy to do), but that whole vast futuristic city shown outside the window is all TVA, right? Or is the TVA just a tiny office buildin g in a future city? Maybe it's a whole ass future civilization that sits outside of spacetime. My impression is that the vast futuristic city is all the TVA. But, aside from showing that CGI background cityscape, the TVA - an organization that patrols all of time and space - feels really, really small. It doesn't feel like "yeah, this is just the Juno, Alaska office." It feels like what we see is the TVA and that it's extremely vastly tiny for what one might think it should be.
The device kind of makes sense. if we're at a point in time on the physical "timeline" and I prune something It goes to the last point in "Time"
But the device snatches that object and is hurling forward to the last point in "Time". Loki had until the light turns green UNTIL the next object/person is pruned.
the device is set to grab whatever is moving next.
I suppose this replaces the therapy stream from the first season where they talk about everyone melting? I approve
I’ve been waiting for this!!!
Also the TVA is on a circle Timeline I assume time does move forwards but at some point everything resets and they are reliving the same amount of time on the second loop.
I can see why Loki is "skipping" The OLD PAST and the NEW FUTURE are at the same point in time. when he goes back he's living the First set of events, when he's in the present he's writing a new future.
what upsets me most about this show is, they could have taken out the silly Victor Timely stuff in the past with the loney toons chases and explained how the flow of time works in the TVA.. it would have GROUNDED the story.
