If these shows were given typical network budgets, like those of Agent Carter and Agents of Shield, my expectations would be on par with those programs. But when Marvel is shelling out $150 million or more (not including marketing) for around 5 hours of screen time, my expectations rise accordingly. And sure, Loki "paved the way" for entry into Phase 4 and Kang, it did so in the most awkward and strange way possible for a production with a $125+ million budget: 20 minutes of exposition by the bad guy. I'll shut up now. |

Well, if they end up ****ing over the original Avengers and the Infinity Saga the way Lucasfilm ****ed over Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, stockholders should expect to see Disney's numbers plummet.

What was the Avengers to Endgame will remain intact. It will just be one of the multi-verse’s. If they do something different, it’s a different branch and not the MCU canon as people knew before last night. |

Loved the finale. I didn’t want to get my hopes up about Kang after Mephisto, so it was a pleasant surprise to get our first glimpse of Majors in the role (although he will obviously be a different varaint(s) going forward).
It was sad to see Loki get his heart broke, but I love where they’ve gone with the character, and I can’t wait to see his story continue. |

Welcome to comic books, and what has probably been my biggest worry about the MCU and how they handle retcons. I imagine when this overall story line for the multiverse is complete, most of the current stars from the previous phases will be out. Either replaced by new characters taking up the mantle (i.e Kate Bishop as Hawkeye), dead, or just ignored for a few years while they focus on F4 and mutant stories and characters. Maybe in 2030 they'll start bringing back some of the original MCU characters through different retcon methods.

Loki sure had a tough episode. Got his heart broken by Sylvie, got sent to a different TVA with (presumably) evil Kang and his pal Mobius doesn’t know who he is.
