Truth be told, this is the last MCU thing I'm really looking forward to that's been revealed currently. Season 1 was so solid and actually stuck the landing (at least for me, I know some didn't like the last episode being so exposition heavy), so I hope the second will do just as well.
I liked it overall but thought the ending was fairly meh; it didn't feel satisfying to me. Though I've been disappointed with almost all the finales of the Disney+ Marvel shows, even of the shows I mostly liked overall. It wasn't really about too much exposition, just that I didn't feel like it really wrapped up the season properly. I'm getting a bit tired of every show ending in a way that teases what comes next instead of just giving that story a proper conclusion.
Really what I was hoping for was for Loki to pull off some kind of satisfying plan after feeling pretty out of his depth the whole season. I get that's sort of the theme of the show, that the TVA and Kang situations are above even Thanos and Asgardians, but he's still a thousand-year-old trickster god whose whole thing is schemes. There were a few times I expected him to have something more going on, but the payoff never really happened. But I digress a bit. I'm still looking forward to season 2; Tom Hiddleston is fun to watch.
KANG NO! DON'T PUNCH YOUR GIRLFRIEND!
Fuckin finally. This is the the only show I’ve been waiting for.

Did the end of S1 really leave anything open for a S2? These TV shows were the worst thing to happen to the MCU, it all feels like filler content for their streaming service (which it is). I've liked 2 of them, Loki and Wandavision.
They really need to ditch the multiverse too, or at least narrow it down. Have a good universe, and a bad universe. Then have the two universes fight. No rules means no consequences.
Why is 6 o’clock Loki missing a fucking leg!?
Better question, why is it throwing a shadow?
What annoys me the most, Loki aside — it was fun and quite cool series — right now is the Secret Invasion.
This series could be the best from all the upcoming story archs, as they get crazier and grander with so much less ways to attach to the plot and conflicts on a basic human level, this storyline could span and generate some great frictions and problems that would connect and probably hit really hard but no, they started nicely and the ideas were great..
They even dropped the bomb of The Harvest — just this on its own, on a conceptual level could get its own movie or two..
To then just Game of Thrones it in the last episode. Dang, what a shame..
It was episode 5 of Secret Invasion when the pacing shifted and I realized that “Shit, this is another 6-episode mini series again, isn’t it?” Which is a terrible disappointment because this has the potential of being a good long form series.
