New Streaming: Loki- Season 1 Finale

 As the end is here, let's look back one last time to see how it all came to a close...

When you go into a strange House at the End of Time, the last face you expect to see is this one.

Why is it there?
What does it want?
Loki and Sylvie find who is running the place and...yeah, I can't say any more, can I?
In lieu of SPOILERS, here's this shot that was done for the Show and not used.

It can't be a SPOILER if it didn't happen, right?

To find out what DID happen, watch the Finale.
A strong, if familiar finale at some points.  The big thing with these Shows is can they stick the landing?  With WandaVision, they gave us a big battle, some closure, some Drama and a future movie tease.  With Falcon and the Winter Soldier (who's finale I apparently forgot to write about- oops!), we got some nice action, character development, a twist or two & set-up for both a Film (Captain America 4) and Show (Armor Wars).   Those Shows accounted for 28 Emmy Nominations this Year, so they must have done something right!  This Finale is a big one for a number of reasons.  As I don't give out SPOILERS, I can't get into most of them.  I will say as an honest critique that I got some real Matrix: Reloaded vibes from this one.  Mind you, I defend that Film more than most, so it might not be the insult that you think.  Aside from the format, we get a big decision, things for the entire MCU being in flux and a tease for what's to come.  As a self-contained thing, we got everything we asked for, save for that damn jet ski!  There's alot of stuff going down now, so let's see if the MCU as a whole can make the most of it.  At least they didn't leave us hanging in regards to the most burning question there is...

Next time, it's...oh right, finale.  I guess see you when What If...? starts.
