I did that because every video I was putting out from September to December was getting Copyrighted. Lmao but thank you for letting me know you only watched for the movie or whatever and not my reaction. So tbh that's your personal problem. There are no successful youtube channels that show the movie as much as I was. Why? Because you can get your channel taken down. But you didn't know that did you? Of course you didn't, you don't care. All you care about is someone giving you the opportunity to watch a summary version of something you want to watch. And when I talk about successful channels I'm talking about channels that have over 500k subs. So Don't try to bring up small youtubers like that will prove your point. These Movie studios don't know about alot of these channels, but when they find out and they see people basically showing the whole movie while they're not talking. They will take down all their videos quick! You have to follow the law and fair use. But like I said of course you didn't know that, you're just a viewer. So know your role and shut your mouth. Not about to lose my channel or go to jail because you want me to show more of the movie and not talk as much.
@@HelloMellowXVI Aah good times, I remember watching the whole Harry Potter reaction during my playthrough of Dishonored 2. Had to pause the game at some of the juicy reaction parts 👌
I just realized Loki can’t get cold because he is a frost giant so props for the game on lady Loki and lady Loki even thought the same as Loki plays Along
he who remains (Jonathan Majors character) is basically a variant of Kang the conqueror. his real name is Nathaniel Richards, he was born in the 31st century (he is a descendant of Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic, leader of the fantastic 4). used several names: Rama Tut: When he traveled to ancient Egypt he became pharaoh and ruled until he was defeated by the Fantastic 4 (who had traveled to ancient Egypt). Scarlet Centurion: He created this alias after traveling to the 20th century and meeting Doctor Doom. fought and lost against the avengers Kang the Conqueror - Nathaniel returned to the future, but accidentally traveled to the 40th century, where he encountered a terrible war. Seeing an opportunity in his technological and strategic knowledge, he assumed the identity of Kang and created an unstoppable army with which he conquered entire galaxies. began to travel through time in order to study and observe his rivals, from his fortress outside the timeline (called Chronopolis) Immortus: A more experienced and peaceful version of Kang, He had goals completely contrary to Kang's, taking responsibility for his actions, his mission was to prevent the destruction of the natural flow of history. Iron Lad - A very young version of Kang. Nathaniel was contacted by his future self who showed him his destiny so that young Nathaniel would accept him faster, but seeing what he would become, he traveled to the past to ask the Avengers for help, his attempt was in vain, so (determined to act) created an armor from the remnants of vision adapting it to Kang's suit. fighting alongside the Young Avengers (a group of young superheroes) which was made up of: Wiccan (Billy Maximoff), Speed (Tommy Maximoff), Kate Bishop, Patriot (whose costume is inspired by the one Bucky wore in the war, in the comics), America Chavez, Cassie Lang (Scott Lang/Ant Man's daughter), Kid Loki (Loki's reincarnation) and Hulking (a mix between Krees and Skrulls).
The reason why Loki knows that the avengers traveled in time is explained in the same scene in which he mentions it. basically because he supposedly felt the colony of two tony starks. but he thought they traveled to the past to prevent him from becoming king
As soon as you expressed how much you love the little music notes in the beginning of the first episode, I knew youd be falling in love the whole show. It's so comprehensively well done
I would've liked to have seen female Loki's relationship with her Thor (wonder if her Thor was a boy or a girl) and her family - the fact that they told her from the start that she was adopted seemed to have made her much more at ease with the fact rather than not telling her until she found out by accident as they did with our Loki and we generally get the idea she had a good relationship with her family, but sadly we never see it. We never do find out do we if child Loki killed his Thor deliberately or if it was an accident - the way he said "I killed Thor" could really go either way. I loved how Old Loki went out, facing death with a laugh and showing no fear, just like the Norse people who used to believe in Loki felt that you should face death, especially in battle (the worst fate for them would be to die of old age in bed, because to them that meant that you lived and died a coward and so could not go to Folkvangr or Valhalla).
Thor is male because timelines are created from specific history-defying events, and there’s no single event that would have caused both Odin and Laufey to sire daughters instead of sons. If the beginning of the first “Thor” movie is any guide, kid Thor started the fight that ended with kid Loki killing him.
Me and my friends have a theory about Sylvie's nexus event. We think that her event was that she was going to be too kind to be a Loki. Considering she was playing with a figure of a Valkyrie saving the day, and how she tried to yell for someone to help that one guy when she got to the TVA, it seems plausible.
This is what I also think, that she was admiring the Valkyrie and thus was starting down the path to becoming one of their number rather than the destructive force the TVA wanted to maintain.
I love how the costume designers created Silvie's outfit with easy access for her to breastfeed her new baby...it's one of the few bts bits that made me smile and happy that they took the actress in to account as well Jonathan Majors has been confirmed to play Kang the Conqueror and him in this as He-Who-Remains is a variant of Kang and his line "see you soon" was him saying that we'll see Kang the Conqueror real soon and the statue at the end was Kang
26:47 Well Loki in the original norse myths was a shapeshifter which in this case also makes him literally gender fluid as he could change himself into a woman (human or animal) anytime he felt like it. So if we can't get a shapeshifting Loki then at least we get a female Loki
Because of what happened in Loki with Kang, this is the reason why we are experiencing all the chaos in Spiderman and in Multiverse of madness. This was confirmed by Kevin Fiege. Kang is the new big threat in MCU. The new Thanos
The Director (Kate Herron) of this series actually played the theremin (primitive electronic musical instrument from the early 1900s) on the soundtrack- you can tell she was a huge music nerd, and probably gave the composer a long leash!

I've caught many of your reaction VODs and have to admit yours is one of the better ones, you not only react to storyline, but also music, cinemetography, and acting skills. Some reactors get boring over time, yours is always fresh. Not to mention the cuts you put in for the laughs (The Frozen one was my favorite this VOD "I should tell him...") I also find it refreshing you edit your quick takes in, rather than try to talk over the video, so many reactors miss something because they are too busy trying to talkduring their reaction.

You actually didn’t get the TVA and Void. They're out of the timeline. He who remains kills all his variants timeline as soon as they gets created. So when he died none is pruning his variants so new timelines get created. Actually when he said he doesn’t know what's going to happen that moment new branch started to sperate from the main branch so when Selvy sent loki to tva there was already more then one Kang(he who remains) so more then one tva and loki went to a random one.
@@austincarlson9270 you should watch the season finale again I think 😑. They literally showed main tva Morbius and B15 saying they've done it. And then cut to the tva where Loki is and their Morbius and B15 doesn’t know who loki is.
@@__Nightmare_ YOU should watch it again. The TVA she sent him to was the same one, just ruled by a different Kang because of the timeline branches. A different Kang was in charge. Why the heck would there be multiple TVAs with the same Mobius and the same B-15? It's just the same TVA with a different runner. There's no purpose for multiple TVAs because the purpose is to run one sacred timeline.
Regarding the whole Infinity Stones thing in Ep 1. The stones only have power in their respective universe. Outside that universe, they're shiny rocks. That's why they're used as paperweights and stuff. They're worthless outside of their own universe/timeline.
That's how it works in the comics, but doesn't seem to be how they're treating the stones in the mcu. I think the idea is meant to be something unique to the TVA is stopping the stones from working instead. What If spoilers: Dr Strange and Ultron could both use infinity stones outside of their own universes in What If. We even had Ultron's time stone directly countered by Strange using his own time stone.
55:37 That's Throg, the frog version of Thor, jumping in the jar attempting to reach Mjolnir. 1:12:28 He Who Remains DID win the Multiversal War. He used Aoliath to erase the other timelines, and their variants of himself. He is literally the only version of himself at this moment.
Somebody might have already answered this but the composer is Natalie Holt. SHe also does the music for Obi-Wan! I agree, the soundtrack is absolute FIRE. This is my favorite of all the MCU shows. I might be biased because Loki has always been my favorite character but I just absolutely loved this show and I'm so excited for the next season.
He Who Remains did win the multiversal war (because he's the only variant of himself around during Loki), but he only did so using the TVA and Alioth to get rid of other variants that would kill him or disrupt the TVA, in a way that would lead to his other variants being released and the war being fought over. Which is what happens at the end of the series, there are not multiple TVAs, the multiversal war was refought, after He Who Remains is killed, with a much more dangerous variant of himself winning the war and taking control of the same TVA. Owen Wilson doesn't remember Loki because Kang has changed the timeline.
Imagine that you've been told that you are destined to fail and you can't succeed in life no matter what you do, no matter how powerful you've become, no matter how much you've changed. I would be bitter too. Tom play this character so well. He captured every emotions. Loki's grief, anger, jealousy, disappointments, playfulness and more. Tom Hiddleston 🔥
They made it clear that every decision branches a timeline, but not every branch is a nexus event. Events need to deviate enough to be considered a nexus event. This means the Sacred Timeline is more like a rope of tightly wound timelines that a singular timeline, and they are constantly trimming back and keeping neat as it frays. In fact, because they can change the sensitivity of detecting nexus energy, I bet they’ve been tightening the Sacred Timeline over… time. Sylvie’s nexus event would have been when she did something that deviated too far from the Sacred Timeline. She was playing Valkyries at the time, pretending to be a hero. I bet she was beginning the path to become a hero and that was the nexus event. Now she’s screwed up from a lifetime of being perused. He Who Remains stopped all “bad” versions of himself from existing by destroying all branches in the timeline off the Sacred Timelines. Now that time has been allowed to branch unimpeded again, those versions have been allowed to come into existence again. And by the very nature of time, it’s already happened, so, as I say on everyone’s episode 6 video… Immortus is dead, long live Kang… aw, crap… Btw, from what I understand, the TVA exists in the Null-Time Zone outside of time, so it looks like the TVA has already been conquered and changed.
I love how when our Loki declares he will kill Alioth, he gestures openly with his arms and the way he says it, is oddly very similar to Thor when he declares something. I just thought it was cute xD. Loved your binge reaction Mell! Cant wait for you to see more MCU! :)
So fun fan theory. If you line up the Loki and wandavision finales, the moment Wanda accepts herself as the scarlet witch is the moment that he says they’ve “crossed the threshold”
Also, Sylvie didn't send him to a different universe in the end There is only one TVA for the whole multiverse Last time the Kangs conquered each other's universes, so one of them created TVA to stop it Now, that He who remains is dead and timelines have branched, one of the Kangs from those went bad And now that the TVA exists he took over the TVA first instead of the universes So everything got reset...that's why no one remembers loki, cuz now Kang was the timekeeper all along Loki, Sylvie, Revonna and the people at the void at the end of time...are the only ones who still remember
holy shit you are the first to make sense of this to me, this makes a ton of sense actually, I guarantee loki will get mobious to get on his side in the second season, this and the new thor are two projects I'm truly excited for
Loved this series, and watching your reaction! Just wondering if you saw Spiderman NWH before watching the Loki series? Because basically if the events of this show didn't occur in the MCU, the cinematic cross over with the Spiderman variants wouldn't be possible
Great reaction bro! 👍🏿 I hate how UA-cam is messing with you. Your MCU reaction videos are out of order. But, it's not your fault. Keep on grinding. Your hard work shall not be in vain. And I love your overall presentations for your reactions. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Yeah, post covid a lot of actors who said they wouldn't do X,Y,Z, started doing them. Christopher Eccleston said he'd NEVER do anything Dr. Who related ever again, but after covid shut down the film & TV industry for 12+ months he took a job doing a Dr. Who radio plays. And when asked he said he did it just for the $$ cause after covid shut everything down had had to make do with what he could get. Not saying Owen also thought that about the MCU, but that the covid shutdowns may have played a role.
The filming technology that you said Disney used for things like The Mandalorian is called "The Volume". It is a set with a big screen wrapped around it with the cgi environment rear-projected onto it. That way most of the important stuff is actually caught "in camera" like lighting and reflections on shiny stuff.
Loved this show, and pretty much had the same reaction as you when it came to Loki as a character-study. Next, you gotta see him in Guillermo del Toro's "Crimson Peak"!
That's he who remains.....the man's name was Nathaniel Richards.. Reed Richards father (Fantastic Four) and also KANG the Conquerer the Time Travelling villain.. the next biggest threat in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The battleship is the USS Eldridge, which supposedly teleported and/or traveled through time in a failed radar cloaking experiment during WWII. The story was made into a movie - The Philadelphia Experiment - in the 80's. (worth watching if you ever have the time)
they aren't the same person. that's what people can't seem to get about the variants. they ARE different people, because their lives are different. they are genetically identical, but what makes YOU is more than a name or your dna. i think that is ultimately the point.
DB Cooper really existed . I wish they had more real history where loki and the asgardians goofed off in history. I’d also love shorts where they reenact actual Norse myths with the actors. Like freyjas “wedding”
loki and moon knight are by far the best series they have dropped but even then they can't still make a series more or equally as entertaining as loki was
Yoo Mel, I love watching your video, your commentary and video edits are awesome. I watch alot of UA-camrs and I got to say you are definitely my top 3 UA-camr. I recently just watch the movie "Scott pilgrim vs the world" starring Michael cera as the main character and I loved it. the awesome camera shots and fight scenes are amazing. The director really went all out. If you can, you should react to it. You will definitely 100% like it💯 if not it's cool keep up the 🔥 content
yeah, that movie is fantastic!! Edgar Wright (the director) did an immaculate job. and it's funny to see all current popular actors play some funny roles, please watch it.
Little detail I always liked about this show is that Sylvie doesn't know any magic besides enchantment because she got arrested before her mother could teach her, so unlike Loki she can't change her appearance with magic and that's why her hair is bleached blonde with dark roots showing.
When he said "we just crossed the threshold" that was because at that very moment dr.strange did his "favour" for Peter parker and messed with the multiverse
I was disproved but when the NWH trailer cameout, I thought that when Strange cast the spell and peter screwed it up, thats when the tineline started to branch and it "crossed the threshold" and thats why at the end of WandaVision, she starts hearing her kids voices, I thought she was able to hear them from a different universe and thats also how Ultron was able to hear the Watcher
Fun fact! The part where Kang explains that he has no idea whats going to happen is in sync with Doctor Strange messing up Spider-Man's spell. Technically, because of Doctor Strange, the multiverse exist.
I think Sylvie and Loki had no real Nexus Event and they were just caused by He Who Remains activating a Nexus spike, that way they could be led towards him. Same thing with Classic Loki, he was only arrested by the TVA so he could help Loki get to He Who Remains in the future. Sylvie and Loki had a Nexus spike on Lamentis which was also caused by He Who Remains to keep them alive and lead them towards him. This is why no one was sure why there was a Nexus spike when there was about to be a life wipeout. Loki did mention that during total wipeouts on the timeline, anything can be done as long as the witnesses are killed by the natural disaster. As He Who Remains said, he paved the road.
Loki was able to know that the Avengers were time traveling because of the skills he learned from Frigga, since she knew that Thor was from the future.
What 'He who remains' did is, he rewrote the timeline so he won't be born in any universe bcoz they will cause the multiversal war again He sacrificed all versions of himself so the multiverse will be at peace All and any timelines he pruned would have eventually led to Kang being born in the future
When I heard Jonathan Majors would be Kang the Conqueror I was pretty hyped, having binged Lovecraft Country shortly before this show. But I had NO idea he was going to show up this early in the MCU! I freaked a bit and my son was quite confused as to what I was so excited about. Also loved this show because of Gugu!!! Have had a crush on her since Black Mirror and Odd Thomas.
Same here! Lol i didn't expect them to be just like "here ya go" with such a major character reveal. I knew he'd been casted for Kang already, so when he showed up chilling with that apple, i lost it. My dad and my brother didn't know why i was so hyped. 😂 that whole scene was just, like a narrative drug. A writer's buffet. I ate up every second, every piece of the plot puzzle. It was so gratifying, and such a calm setting for a dark truth. Creative gold. Lol
This was by far the best episode on that show imo. Jonathan Majors has so much presence in his performance, so im really hyped to see his variants (next one being in Ant Man 3). The reason why the timeline was branching at the "threshold point" was due to the TVA "employees" not working anymore after being shown that they are variants living a lie.
They are actually at a renaissance faire, just google for your local state ren faire and youll find one. I worked my local one here in los angeles this year, and it has already ended but I know there are 3 or 4 going on around the country right now. Check it out, have some fun.
@@HelloMellowXVI i loved that scene. Still confused by Loki’s planet level telekinesis shown when he lifts a BUILDING with his mind, but man was it a masterclass in editing and cinematography
I've seen you mention it before in your video. Loki can't teleport. He can create illusions and make himself invisible, which can make it *look* like he's teleported, but it isn't one of his powers. Lovve your videos!
Mel acting like its first time watching it (pretty good bro) and he is like not (prepared for the vid reactions) predicting things etc.. funny funny :D
"And then when I achieve what I... wanna achieve... Imma just leave." Bruh I swear I had to wait for like 3 seconds to process what you said before I bust ☠️🤣
If nobody has said it the plane where Loki stole money was a little joke that happened in real life where this guy named D.B cooper stole money in a plane and he parachuted out of a plane and nobody knows if he lived or died because they didn’t find a body and it happened in 1971 and has been a unsolved case so this was just a little joke to that
I still believe your Harry Potter Series to be one of the best out! Thanks so much for the laughs
I did that because every video I was putting out from September to December was getting Copyrighted. Lmao but thank you for letting me know you only watched for the movie or whatever and not my reaction. So tbh that's your personal problem.

55:37 That's Throg, the frog version of Thor, jumping in the jar attempting to reach Mjolnir.
1:12:28 He Who Remains DID win the Multiversal War. He used Aoliath to erase the other timelines, and their variants of himself. He is literally the only version of himself at this moment.
Somebody might have already answered this but the composer is Natalie Holt. SHe also does the music for Obi-Wan! I agree, the soundtrack is absolute FIRE. This is my favorite of all the MCU shows. I might be biased because Loki has always been my favorite character but I just absolutely loved this show and I'm so excited for the next season.
He Who Remains did win the multiversal war (because he's the only variant of himself around during Loki), but he only did so using the TVA and Alioth to get rid of other variants that would kill him or disrupt the TVA, in a way that would lead to his other variants being released and the war being fought over. Which is what happens at the end of the series, there are not multiple TVAs, the multiversal war was refought, after He Who Remains is killed, with a much more dangerous variant of himself winning the war and taking control of the same TVA. Owen Wilson doesn't remember Loki because Kang has changed the timeline.
Imagine that you've been told that you are destined to fail and you can't succeed in life no matter what you do, no matter how powerful you've become, no matter how much you've changed. I would be bitter too. Tom play this character so well. He captured every emotions. Loki's grief, anger, jealousy, disappointments, playfulness and more. Tom Hiddleston 🔥
Can’t wait ti watch this again with u Mel , your definitely my favorite reaction channel
Johnathan Majors addition to the MCU is just perfection. Top tier actor.
Sylvies nexus event was her wanting to be a hero
They made it clear that every decision branches a timeline, but not every branch is a nexus event. Events need to deviate enough to be considered a nexus event. This means the Sacred Timeline is more like a rope of tightly wound timelines that a singular timeline, and they are constantly trimming back and keeping neat as it frays. In fact, because they can change the sensitivity of detecting nexus energy, I bet they’ve been tightening the Sacred Timeline over… time.
Sylvie’s nexus event would have been when she did something that deviated too far from the Sacred Timeline. She was playing Valkyries at the time, pretending to be a hero. I bet she was beginning the path to become a hero and that was the nexus event. Now she’s screwed up from a lifetime of being perused.
He Who Remains stopped all “bad” versions of himself from existing by destroying all branches in the timeline off the Sacred Timelines. Now that time has been allowed to branch unimpeded again, those versions have been allowed to come into existence again. And by the very nature of time, it’s already happened, so, as I say on everyone’s episode 6 video…
Immortus is dead, long live Kang… aw, crap…
Btw, from what I understand, the TVA exists in the Null-Time Zone outside of time, so it looks like the TVA has already been conquered and changed.
I love how when our Loki declares he will kill Alioth, he gestures openly with his arms and the way he says it, is oddly very similar to Thor when he declares something. I just thought it was cute xD. Loved your binge reaction Mell! Cant wait for you to see more MCU! :)
So fun fan theory. If you line up the Loki and wandavision finales, the moment Wanda accepts herself as the scarlet witch is the moment that he says they’ve “crossed the threshold”
They said it was just a coincidence
@@elena_petrova I prefaced it as a fun fan theory, didn’t mean I thought it was gospel
He keeps saying he loves the music. I cant wait to see his reaction to the score at the end of the series. He guna be hype af
Also, Sylvie didn't send him to a different universe in the end
There is only one TVA for the whole multiverse
Last time the Kangs conquered each other's universes, so one of them created TVA to stop it
Now, that He who remains is dead and timelines have branched, one of the Kangs from those went bad
And now that the TVA exists he took over the TVA first instead of the universes
So everything got reset...that's why no one remembers loki, cuz now Kang was the timekeeper all along
Loki, Sylvie, Revonna and the people at the void at the end of time...are the only ones who still remember
holy shit you are the first to make sense of this to me, this makes a ton of sense actually, I guarantee loki will get mobious to get on his side in the second season, this and the new thor are two projects I'm truly excited for
@@austincarlson9270 thanksies. Loki 2 is already in production, it's gonna be lit🔥
@@prasathgj fs
Loved this series, and watching your reaction! Just wondering if you saw Spiderman NWH before watching the Loki series? Because basically if the events of this show didn't occur in the MCU, the cinematic cross over with the Spiderman variants wouldn't be possible
Great reaction bro! 👍🏿 I hate how UA-cam is messing with you. Your MCU reaction videos are out of order. But, it's not your fault. Keep on grinding. Your hard work shall not be in vain. And I love your overall presentations for your reactions. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The "little Thor" was actually FrogThor when Loki turned Thor into a frog. It happened a couple of times, btw.
This show along with wandavision are my favorites and Hawkeye is also up there
Yeah, post covid a lot of actors who said they wouldn't do X,Y,Z, started doing them. Christopher Eccleston said he'd NEVER do anything Dr. Who related ever again, but after covid shut down the film & TV industry for 12+ months he took a job doing a Dr. Who radio plays. And when asked he said he did it just for the $$ cause after covid shut everything down had had to make do with what he could get.
Not saying Owen also thought that about the MCU, but that the covid shutdowns may have played a role.
I'm convinced that Mellow is just a variant of Kang that decided to just watch multiversal things unfold on Disney+.
The filming technology that you said Disney used for things like The Mandalorian is called "The Volume". It is a set with a big screen wrapped around it with the cgi environment rear-projected onto it. That way most of the important stuff is actually caught "in camera" like lighting and reflections on shiny stuff.
Loved this show, and pretty much had the same reaction as you when it came to Loki as a character-study. Next, you gotta see him in Guillermo del Toro's "Crimson Peak"!
That's he who remains.....the man's name was Nathaniel Richards.. Reed Richards father (Fantastic Four) and also KANG the Conquerer the Time Travelling villain.. the next biggest threat in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Loki learned to love himself
The battleship is the USS Eldridge, which supposedly teleported and/or traveled through time in a failed radar cloaking experiment during WWII. The story was made into a movie - The Philadelphia Experiment - in the 80's. (worth watching if you ever have the time)
they aren't the same person. that's what people can't seem to get about the variants. they ARE different people, because their lives are different. they are genetically identical, but what makes YOU is more than a name or your dna. i think that is ultimately the point.
genetically they can't have the same dna, they are the opposite sex
@@austincarlson9270 Loki is canonically a shape shifter. Loki can be an alligator, a bird, a horse, whatever Loki wants to be at the moment.
My favorite parts were the Loki rumble and He Who Remains going "A swing and a miss!"
Kang (Jonathan Majors) is gonna be basically the new thanos or at least a major threat cause he’s gonna show up in ant man 3.
If they do the new FF movie properly then Doctor Doom vs Kang could be pretty epic
This must have taken so much work to edit and I loved your commentary as always ❤️
DB Cooper really existed . I wish they had more real history where loki and the asgardians goofed off in history. I’d also love shorts where they reenact actual Norse myths with the actors. Like freyjas “wedding”
@@stich21 you right
loki and moon knight are by far the best series they have dropped but even then they can't still make a series more or equally as entertaining as loki was
as soon as i saw this posted i knew you were going to love the soundtrack LMAO
Yoo Mel, I love watching your video, your commentary and video edits are awesome. I watch alot of UA-camrs and I got to say you are definitely my top 3 UA-camr. I recently just watch the movie "Scott pilgrim vs the world" starring Michael cera as the main character and I loved it. the awesome camera shots and fight scenes are amazing. The director really went all out. If you can, you should react to it. You will definitely 100% like it💯 if not it's cool keep up the 🔥 content
yeah, that movie is fantastic!! Edgar Wright (the director) did an immaculate job. and it's funny to see all current popular actors play some funny roles, please watch it.
Excited to see this. Loki has been no doubt my fave mcu/disney+ show. Close second moon knight.
Little detail I always liked about this show is that Sylvie doesn't know any magic besides enchantment because she got arrested before her mother could teach her, so unlike Loki she can't change her appearance with magic and that's why her hair is bleached blonde with dark roots showing.
Child Silvie did do something. She aspired to be a hero, to be something more than a Loki, the God(dess) of Mischief.
When he said "we just crossed the threshold" that was because at that very moment dr.strange did his "favour" for Peter parker and messed with the multiverse
No one mentioning that Sylvie isn't just "a Loki" but a version of Enchantress from the comics. Lady Loki is a whole other thing in the comics.
Yeah!! I don’t like calling her Lady Loki cause we know Loki can be male or female
As far as i know, they combined enchantress with this variant of Loki. She is definitely supposed to be a Loki.
Bro at 50:53 your face looked like a crime boss that was betrayed by someone close, and now you unfortunately have to kill them brutally
Singing talent and doing impressions often go hand in hand. It all boils down to vocal control.
when Loki got pruned and you thought he died for real...your face...LOOOOL
This format works and i love it personally
LMAO the marlon wayans cut LOLLLLLL
I was disproved but when the NWH trailer cameout, I thought that when Strange cast the spell and peter screwed it up, thats when the tineline started to branch and it "crossed the threshold" and thats why at the end of WandaVision, she starts hearing her kids voices, I thought she was able to hear them from a different universe and thats also how Ultron was able to hear the Watcher
Fun fact!
The part where Kang explains that he has no idea whats going to happen is in sync with Doctor Strange messing up Spider-Man's spell. Technically, because of Doctor Strange, the multiverse exist.
I love that you do a season at a time, please keep to this format
😂😂we in da club, nice introduction to the 3rd episode reaction
I think Sylvie and Loki had no real Nexus Event and they were just caused by He Who Remains activating a Nexus spike, that way they could be led towards him. Same thing with Classic Loki, he was only arrested by the TVA so he could help Loki get to He Who Remains in the future. Sylvie and Loki had a Nexus spike on Lamentis which was also caused by He Who Remains to keep them alive and lead them towards him. This is why no one was sure why there was a Nexus spike when there was about to be a life wipeout. Loki did mention that during total wipeouts on the timeline, anything can be done as long as the witnesses are killed by the natural disaster. As He Who Remains said, he paved the road.
I was Glued to the T.V watching Loki!! Made me Love Loki So Much More than I Already did!! Tom does an Amazing and Awesome job as Loki!
Loki was able to know that the Avengers were time traveling because of the skills he learned from Frigga, since she knew that Thor was from the future.
Can't get enough of that Brother Malcolm clip.
I loved this reaction!
What 'He who remains' did is, he rewrote the timeline so he won't be born in any universe bcoz they will cause the multiversal war again
He sacrificed all versions of himself so the multiverse will be at peace
All and any timelines he pruned would have eventually led to Kang being born in the future
*If you thought loki was crazy, wait until you get to moon knight*
they are equally crazy in their own perspectives
Please watch STAR TREK 🖖!
Sylvie is based on The Echantress but they changed her origin and made her a Loki variant. She was an Asgardian who sometimes teamed up with Loki.
59:51 You should look up the history of that ship... it's a pretty awesome easter egg.
How lovely watching this through your eyes and understanding! ☺ love your appreciation of Art Sir 🥰☺
When I heard Jonathan Majors would be Kang the Conqueror I was pretty hyped, having binged Lovecraft Country shortly before this show. But I had NO idea he was going to show up this early in the MCU! I freaked a bit and my son was quite confused as to what I was so excited about.
Also loved this show because of Gugu!!! Have had a crush on her since Black Mirror and Odd Thomas.
Also, at 1:13:00 the threshold being crossed. Rumor is that is when Doctor Strange cast the spell in Spider-Man No Way Home, causing a crack in time.
Same here! Lol i didn't expect them to be just like "here ya go" with such a major character reveal.
I knew he'd been casted for Kang already, so when he showed up chilling with that apple, i lost it. My dad and my brother didn't know why i was so hyped. 😂 that whole scene was just, like a narrative drug. A writer's buffet. I ate up every second, every piece of the plot puzzle. It was so gratifying, and such a calm setting for a dark truth. Creative gold. Lol
Just finished this last night..😮 Cant wait for season 2. Love Loki!
спасибо за то что сделали одно видео на весь сериал thanks for making one video for the whole series
This was by far the best episode on that show imo.
Jonathan Majors has so much presence in his performance, so im really hyped to see his variants (next one being in Ant Man 3).
The reason why the timeline was branching at the "threshold point" was due to the TVA "employees" not working anymore after being shown that they are variants living a lie.
They are actually at a renaissance faire, just google for your local state ren faire and youll find one. I worked my local one here in los angeles this year, and it has already ended but I know there are 3 or 4 going on around the country right now. Check it out, have some fun.
The end of the third episode was fined to look like a single shot and used a couple clever cuts to mask it
Yeah I i noticed that too when I was editing. I think they did the same with 1917
@@HelloMellowXVI i loved that scene. Still confused by Loki’s planet level telekinesis shown when he lifts a BUILDING with his mind, but man was it a masterclass in editing and cinematography
Great reaction, dude!
The Godlike score is by Natalie Holt, she also scored Obi-Wan Kenobi series😍
Them timekeepers were on that mumble rap.
Hi mell random question. What's your favorite reaction you've done? You're very animated lol so I love them all. Great video
Kung Fu Hustle Or Silence Of The Lambs Or The Lord Of The Rings
I've seen you mention it before in your video. Loki can't teleport. He can create illusions and make himself invisible, which can make it *look* like he's teleported, but it isn't one of his powers. Lovve your videos!
"Come on Loki, tell me what you learned about friendship"
Mel acting like its first time watching it (pretty good bro) and he is like not (prepared for the vid reactions) predicting things etc.. funny funny :D
If anyone wondering what is the intro song for Loki episode 3 intro, it is “Demons by Hayley Kiyoko”. The song is damn fire!
Cannot wait for you to react to Season 2!!
"How are you a conqueror? What have you conquered besides time?" Bro what more does he need to do?! lmao
Lmao I'm not impressed
"And then when I achieve what I... wanna achieve...
Imma just leave."
Bruh I swear I had to wait for like 3 seconds to process what you said before I bust ☠️🤣
That is kang the conquerer my man
The fact that Loki did this series after getting puny god’ed proves that he really is a god 😅
so if loki falls in love with himself….. does that mean we are gettin the children of loki?
hopefully, some mischievous lokis
All the stuff in the lair are discontinued things. From kid lokis juice box to the arcade machine. Love all those little details sprinkled in.
Really loved this binge-format for a short series like this. please do more of these for some older shows. Did you ever consider DARK on Netflix?
If nobody has said it the plane where Loki stole money was a little joke that happened in real life where this guy named D.B cooper stole money in a plane and he parachuted out of a plane and nobody knows if he lived or died because they didn’t find a body and it happened in 1971 and has been a unsolved case so this was just a little joke to that
