New Streaming: Loki (Episode 3)

 Another Wednesday is here, so let's look back at last week.  What happened to our lovable Trickster God?

After the last Episode, he's escaped with the 'evil' Variant Loki.

He ruins her plans to straight up kill the Boss and they end up stranded together.

They end up stranded during an Apocalypse (as opposed to stranded with Apocalypse) on an Alien Planet.

Can they work together?
Eh, maybe not.

They might just learn alot about each other in the process, however.

Of course, it may be too late to escape now...
To find out, stream the Episode.
A bit of a slowdown, but is that so wrong?  In the first Episode, we had to get introduced a new Setting, new Characters and catch our Loki up to speed on the MCU Timeline.  In the second Episode, they had to introduce new concepts, expand on the Mobius/Loki dynamic and finally introduce the Variant.  So, after all that, is a slowdown so wrong?  Our Two Lokis (too late to TM that one, I'm sure) spend the Episode fighting, trying to work together and getting to know each other.  I don't see a big Picnic in the near future, but they are *mostly* past trying to kill each other.  This one feels like a Doctor Who Episode.  If you take that as a compliment or insult, that's up to you.  I liked it.  As I said, not much happens as far as the overall narrative is concerned.  There's one reveal, but, you know, no SPOILERS.  I'm still really curious to see where this all goes.  Hey, so are they!

Next time, let's see where the journey is going.  Will Loki...er, the Lokis make it out?  See you then...
