LOKI is EXACTLY What We Needed!! (Thank You MCU!) 
Кино
That finale was so emotional. Hearing him say he’s afraid of ending up alone, and then sacrificing himself, ending up alone, to save his friends
Yeah, he ascended to become God of Stories (exactly as he is in the comics right now). He's not entirely alone, he's got his stories... maybe him and the Watcher should hang out, haha!
Loki made himself the tree of life in Norse mythology the tree of life is the creator Loki made himself the god he is ment to be the god
And ironically to protect something he use to claim was a big lie-Freedom. Loki of old:"Freedom is Life's great lie, and once you accept that, you will know peace" He ends up knowing peace by granting everyone freedom. His true Glorious Purpose. His true golden throne.
@@wiccalady9948 It's even better than that. He ends up finding peace by granting everyone freedom... and he does that by giving up his own. The only person he's keeping from freedom, is Him. He's truly done a 180 character reversal as of the end of the show.
@@kylemccormack1785 True. A wonderful redemption arc. I kinda wish Odin, Frigga and Thor could see him now. He surpassed their expectations. He surpassed even them. And they would be so proud of him. I thought Tony had a fantastic arc. This beats that.
1:02:28 The line where he says "I know what kind of god I want to be, for you, for all of us." That "for you, for all of us" line is from Thor 1, when Loki's hanging from odins staff.
Fun fact: The directors asked Tom to choose what he was going to say for that scene (like 30 minutes before shooting) and he remembered that and thought it would be perfect.
He was born to play Loki
and broke our hearts in the process lol
Loki became the God of Stories, of everyone's story. Loki spent centuries learning all the science of time travel, physics, quantum mechanics, engineering, etc and probably centuries more just running the same scenarios of trying to stop the Loom from overloading and trying to stop Sylvie from killing He Who Remains. Odin's magic made Loki Asgardian and Asgardians become more powerful as they age. He learned and grew into the power he needed to save the Multiverse. But at the cost of living his greatest fear - being alone, possibly forever.
No, he's god of Time
Tom Hiddleston over-delivered. He ( and the phenomenonal script / directing and more ) turned Loki from a liked of mine character into my favorite one. So much character development. Superb acting. And so much love and understanding for the character. He turned from a villian into the most sacrificial hero in the mcu.
Loki is everything Marvel needs right now. Compelling story with fan favorite characters with a well rounded narrative. Genuinely shot Loki right up into first place as my favorite character in the MCU
Ur genuinely all the same lol
@@Joeysaladslover & what are you exactly?
After Variety reported Marvel parted ways with Majors they’re going to dip once again imo
@@RedKingdom28 I mean...While he's a fine actor, I don't really think he can be given to much credit for their recent rise. I'm kinda cautiously optimistic for the future lol
@@Joeysaladslover so are you weirdos that can't let people share opinions to the point where you feel like being annoying. The show was extremely good, did good work for the character, to the point where it made him even more of a fan favorite thanks to their work. If you don't like it, that's fine, but I seriously don't get the point of acting like this, going comment to comment saying this stuff..like if it's bait, and you just wanna argue with people, that's fine I guess but I just wanna understand why at this stage lol
Fun fact: Lokis last words to Mobius and Sylvie being ,,for you... for all of us" is line made by Tom and calls back to first Thor ending. Writers and directory asked if he has any idea how to end this right. He went running around, was listening to score from first Thor and thought of the line.
Tom did absolutelly magnificent job as Loki all the time. I dont believe theres anybody that cannot like/love him.
At to be honest, every time I watch that ending... Im always tearing up for how good it is. Loki sacrificing himself, sitting on throne he never wanted.
The whole season in one video is exactly what we needed!! (Thank you Alex!)
Full agree. I wish more commenters would drop seasons in between 1-3 parts, instead of individual episodes
@@Rated314 more videos = more likes and more views
@@emosam07 unless people avoid the episodic reactions. In my opinion, that is sacrificing quality for quantity... not interested
@@Rated314likewise especially when they upload them once a week or every two.
Fun fact: on the floor in front of the “X-Men door” there’s a warning about the temporal energy and the risk of, and I quote, “spaghettification.” It’s easy to miss but huge props to the set department for adding that funny little detail
Something to remember about Sylvie is that she spent her whole life (since childhood) running and hiding from the TVA and living in apocalypses. While for us her dedication to McDonald’s seems dumb, for her that mundane, fairly uneventful day to day existence is new for her and probably the first time she’s ever felt peaceful
Alex you seemed to have missed the joke about O.B and Victor’s interaction. Yes it’s a chicken and the egg scenario but it’s also as O.B says “like the snake eating its own tail.” In, I believe, Norse mythology the snake eating its own tail is named Ouroboros. So Ouroboros (O.B) is stuck in an Ouroboros type scenario
Loki pruned his past self because he needed to get pruned to pull him from the time stream and stop his time slipping in episode 1. Sylvie did that possession thing she did in season 1 to control Brad and prune Renslayer
Interesting note: the first episode of season 1 and the last episode of season 2 are both titled “Glorious Purpose.” But that glorious purpose has a different meaning at both sides of his arc. The most beautiful, fantastically executed “bookend” of all time (always)
Fun fact about Loki’s outfit: the horns are black with gold “veins.” The exact same material that He Who Remains’ citadel was made of. Also the way Loki’s timelines are oriented they look like a tree. In Norse mythology Yggdrasil (yee-dra-sill) is The Tree of Life. Lastly, Loki spent his whole life seeking “the throne” and burdened with GLORIOUS PURPOSE, but now he has his throne and is BURDENED with glorious purpose. What a beautiful ending (or hopefully inflection point) to his arc 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh also Loki has now transformed from the God of Mischief into the God of Stories
spaghettification is when a black hole is sucking you in, your feet are closer to the black hole so it pulls them more than your head.
I thought I was the only who caught that.
All excellent takes!
Also, there is a scene of thor saying that we gods become more powerful the more we age. So as loki was aging due to the temporal radiation he became more and more powerful.
Also each rope represented one universe
Thnx bud, eloquently put ✌️😎
I absolutely love the detail that this finale actually links back to the Infinity Saga, seeing as the color of the Time Stone has always been Loki's shade of green energy/magic, and after all this time we finally see exactly why that is
I wonder if there are more connections like that with the other stones. The reality stone and Wanda's magic have a suspiciously similar color.
Loki season 2 is by far the best season in any marvel series. It's at the top of foodchain, Loki is now god of the whole mcu. 🤯🤯
while it is great you have clearly never watched agents of shield
my top 3 is:
- Legion
- Loki
- Wandavision
Not even half as good as daredevil😏
is Agents of shield worth the watch, i'm scared and overwhelmed by the number of seasons x episodes can't lie
You’re smoking crack. This season made 0 sense and Kang is the cringiest villain of all time.
The tree is yaggrisil probably spelled it wrong. In Norse mythology it’s the tree of life. That’s why the loom being a tree is so cool. Loki’s arc goes from Loki being a god over people to him learning that it’s being a god for the people.
Yggdrasil
Yes, they basically had him ascend to the God of Stories, which is exactly what he is in the current comics storylines going on right now! :)
Dude when I saw how the all the expanding time lines resembled a tree (Yggdrasil) I lost my mind so cool
Right back to the first Thor movie when Thor explains Yggdrasil and the 9 realms to Jane. It was awesome.
@@darkwyvewait what’s going on in the comics?
Loki finally got the throne he always wanted... at the moment when it's the last thing he wants. And it came with a terrible burden, the burden of keeping the multiverse thriving alone... but it's the burden he chose. Like past Mobius told him. Through learning to control his time-slipping, he grew into the power he needed to become this new kind of god. The God of Stories, watching over all the stories of the multiverse as they play out, though he can't be part of them. It's... so well done and the perfect end for Loki.
He’s burdened with glorious purpose. He gets a throne, at the cost of watching over all timelines. That’s what those vines are, they’re all different realities. And because the loom would never be able to keep it stable, he took it into his own hands :) great video by the way!
Loki is the best thing to happen to Marvel since End Game and NWH. You can't change my mind. 💜
Nwh was mid writing, it was only good because of the old spider-man characters. Shang chi, moonknight, and what if are all really good. Same with black panther wakanda forever (although some parts were a bit meh in that movie). Yes loki is easily one of the best phase 4 projects but not since NWH. There are many great phase 4 movies and shows.
Nah he's right. I didnt watch moonknight and what if yet, but shang chi is boring and too light, carries no real weight or emotions in it. And Wakanda forever is genuinely worst marvel movie up to date, including captain marvel. It's the only marvel movie i genuinely could not bear to finish. And keep in mind i managed to finish she hulk even. It's just so incredibly dull. Nwh imo is the 2nd best marvel movie, after infinity war. It gets more serious as a spider man, and nostalgia of old characters, all those throwbacks, it's beautiful.@@vividestmaple8582
1:03:26 When he least needed the throne, he got one of the best throne in all of MCU. When Loki touches the branches, you can hear the people talking laughing crying etc, means with his touch they are thriving.. the loom that He who Remains made pales in comparison to Loki's magical loom, that can grow and support infinite amounts of branches..
Key Huy Quan is a gem, I'm glad he started acting again.
Alex's reaction to him appearing on screen made me realise we need EEAAO totally blind on here.
@@TheChiraagGindeed. I need to actually finish that movie.
I love this series. This season in particular. Thor told him that he could be so much more than the god of mischief, and that has defined his arc ever since. Even though this Loki wasn't the one that Thor told that to, he still heard it through the TVA's recordings. The whole series has really been getting him to see how much more he could be, and it has been beautiful. I love that, of the six episodes of this season, four of them have season finale energy, big time. The first one and the last three. 2 and 3 aren't bad, they just aren't at the same level as all of the others put together.
I saw an interview with Tom Hiddleston about how Loki's last line came about - talking about how he'd gone on a jog around the back lot before filming that scene, and while he did, it hit him. He told the director about it, and they all agreed that it was perfect for him to call back to the finale of the first Thor movie with that line... and I agree.
Look, Cap may be my favorite hero, followed pretty closely by Scott Lang, but this series has solidified Loki as my favorite character in the MCU period. I love that he is now, officially, Loki, God of Stories. It is a perfect role for him. And he will hold that special place in my heart for all time. Always.
I've been looking forward to this! 😊
As much as I love the first season of Loki, season 2 was phenomenal!! Fantastic performances by Tom Hiddleston all throughout the season. His on-screen chemistry with Owen Wilson is still there. And the addition of Academy Award Winner Ke Huy Quan as Ouroboros/O.B was fantastic!
And Loki, who was once the God of Mischief is now the God of Stories. 💚
Honestly I feel like season 1 and 2 have opposite quality progressions. Season 1 kind of stumbled at the midpoint where season 2 just kept getting better.
Impactful, poignant, beautifully crafted. If Marvel continue like this (and allow villains to grow in presence by not killing them in their first film/series) we should be in for a brilliant renaissance.
What I think is funny is how few people bring up the leaks that occurred back in season 1, where everyone thought the big bad/manipulator was just going to be another 'ultimate' Loki that would be He Who Remains, because the leaked scenes showed Loki on a throne. Little did people realize it was because they had *already* shot this ending before even closing season one, so clearly the overarching story had already been decided a long time ago. (I'm sure various details to get there were changed and tweaked of course during production of season 2, but still pretty interesting).
Loki is one of the best (if not the very best) things marvel has ever put out and I will die on this hill. I'm obsessed 😭😭
Loki season 2 is marvel’s best season ever so far and it is exactly what marvel needs right now and Alex’s reactions are just so good and always make me laugh,
I've been wracking my brain over the last few weeks and I simply can't think of another character arc that was written as well as Loki's. Not anywhere in literature or cinema have I seen an arc like that.
Some good competition for most satisfying redemption arcs:
Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities
Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender
Scrooge from A Christmas Carol
Michael from The Good Place
Jean Valjean from Les Miserables
Derek Vinyard from American History X
... I'm sure there are more but that's all I can't think of off the top of my head 😂
@@SarahRichardsGrabaSeverus Snape from Harry Potter
@@bloodfluid2331 I considered him but I personally don't find his arc that satisfying 😂
@@SarahRichardsGraba he also mentions literature in his comment, and Snape's arc in the books is far more captivating than in the movies
A character from Persona 5 who, interestingly, does have a link to Loki
Funniest reactor on RUclips , Alex just radiates weird humour and I’m all for it.
i love how alex mentions the year he was born with ouroborus and then completly forgets what year it is, this man is timeless
Alex you would absolutely love Peacemaker ! John Cena kills it in that Series and it's one of the best things the DCEU has done so far.
Agreed but I think he needs to see the Snyderverse films and The Suicide Squad (Inc that awful one) before he sees Peacemaker.
@@matthewmcghee8832yeah, if he's gonna watch any parts of the DCEU, then he's gotta take a deep breath and watch it all
The universe is dead, so not the best idea.
@@shrekkek9396And? He watched the X-men movies. That franchise is dead with New Mutants ruining everything and Alex has watched that. So is the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Another dead franchise that Alex has watched.
@@matthewmcghee8832 mutants literally have Deadpool 3 next year.
The whole season at once? Yes, please! Thank you for that and throwing some time slipping editing in it while you were at it. Nicely done. Loved how you hated Miss Minutes, she's not to be trusted at all. Now I wonder if Loki will ever show up again in some other project. I'd be happy if he did but also I'd be fine with this being the end of his ark in the MCU. He had a hell of a ride!
Loki has said from the beginning “I am Loki, and I am burdened with glorious purpose” and he was right. His purpose was being destined to fail at being villain and becoming a selfless hero who would take on the burden of holding all of time together.
Loki became Ygdrassil. The tree of life that makes up the cosmos that Thor explains to Jane about in the first Thor :)
"for you, for all of us" is what he said to Odin in the first Thor movie, and i loved that. cried my eyes out
That finale got me crying and I still don't know why I cried as much as I did😭
End of episode 4 was like 😲😲😲. I spent the entire episode waiting for Victor to double cross them or turn evil or for something to happen and i was so busy waiting for something particular to happen when the spaghetti twist came i was NOT ready 🤣
It never ceases to amaze me the level of foreshadowing this series has. To give some examples: When in the finale Loki goes to Mobius back to their very first interaction he jumps into the moment when past-Mobius asks him what is he going to do and past-Loki answers "claim my throne." And then when he finally realises what he has to do and jumps to the moment before the loom explodes the TVA system says "welcome, he who remains." It's just gorgeous.
I like how they included the Bootstrap Paradox into the story (when OB and Victor tell each other that they got their designs from each other), because I think it is a really interesting concept to use in a story. Btw if you want an explanation of the Bootstrap Paradox, it will be in the replies to this comment.
The Bootstrap Paradox: There’s this time traveller, going up and down history, and he really likes the works of Ludwig Van Beethoven. So one day he decides to go and meet Beethoven, so he goes to the correct time and place, but he can’t find Beethoven anywhere, and no one seems to know who Beethoven is, not even his family, Beethoven literally doesn’t exist. The time traveler starts to panic, thinking of a world without the works of Beethoven, luckily the time traveler brought all of his sheet music for Beethoven to sign, so he copies them out and he gets them published, he becomes Beethoven. And history continues with barely a feather ruffled, but then the question is, who originally put those notes and phrases together?
I got very excited about The Bootstrsp Paradox in here, too. I actually first heard about it in Doctor Who.
*Bootstrap
When he pruned himself, it was because he had less than 30s for that version of him to be pruned and it needed to be done on time. So, when he saw himself there looking at himself while holding the pruning stick, he went for it. Oh and in the first episode when they mentioned the spaghetti effect inside of a black hole, then said best you don't know too much about that, well he found out.
Basically to sum up the confusion, Loki became the God of Stories like in the comics. The ending is him becoming the beginning of time where Kang the Conqueror (He Who Remains) is the end of time. As Mobius told him, its all about choosing the burden you want to live with (or something like that) so Loki chose to remain at the beginning of time and control the timelines and keep them alive for all eternity. Loki, the trickster god himself who only cared about himself, sacrificed himself for the everyone else. Also, fun fact, the image the new timelines made when Loki sat down resembles Yggdrasil, the Norse tree of life.
OB is the kid from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. If you have seen that one. He also won an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All At Once, another I recommend.
OGs know him rom Indiana Jones and The Goonies
I am a Norse Pagan and follow the "real" Norse Gods, and it's amazing the way they incorporated Yggdrasil the world tree as the new origin of all the timelines as this does fit at the most basic level the idea of cycles within the Norse religion. Also I love that they took the mythological Loki as the god of Stories, and made this low-key basically the god of Stories has he personally weaves and nourishes every timeline.
Very well done
26:00 You missed that this scene was in the post credits of Ant-man and The Wasp: Quantumania
Alex is reacting to the MCU, and you know what that means. Yup, more of his signature laugh.
Ke Huy Quan started out as a child actor. He’s best known for being one of The Goonies as well as co-starting with Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. He was also a stunt coordinator for the first X-Men movie.
Around that time, he left the acting industry. However, following the success of Crazy Rich Asians he reached out to a talent agent and auditioned for Everything Everywhere All At Once. His Goonies co-star and longtime friend Jeff Cohen who’s now an entertainment lawyer helped negotiate his contract to star in the film.
Then after seeing his role as Waymond Wang, Kevin Feige reached out to him with the role of O.B. He’s also had a supporting role in the Netflix movie Finding ‘Ohana, and he got to work with some of his Everything Everywhere All At Once co-stars again in the Disney Plus series American Born Chinese.
On another note, remember Maya Lopez from Hawkeye? Her solo series Echo is finally premiering on Wednesday January 10. All episodes will drop that day, but I must warn you: it’s gonna be TV-MA like the Marvel Netflix shows that most of us are familiar with.
And of course this Friday is the premiere of What If season 2. This time, we’re getting a new episode every day instead of every week.
Loki had a great ending. Finally a marvel movie/show where I left filling fulfilled.
Petition to watch daredevil or punisher. My favorite marvel shows.
Marvel's greatest show ever still for me is Agents of SHIELD. Especially it's later seasons are just out of this world. Everyone should watch that show.
My third favourite show ever tbh ❤
Awesome Video Alex!!! This Season was Absolutely Perfect and That Finale was
A Masterpiece! THIS IS WHAT MARVEL NEEDED RIGHT NOW!!!!!!
If you didn't understand why Loki didn't spaghettify :
Thr radiation from temporal loom is time itself. It ages you very fast resulting in spaghettification. But Asgardians has a much much longer lifespan than humans and they get more powerful as they age. So temporal radiation made loki age also giving him a massive power boost, enough to give lofe to the multiverse and essentially setting it free. (Creating the multiverse)
Thank you so much for this Alex!!! Loki is an amazing series and season two is great!!! I love watching your videos because they make my day for a while better!
22:47
In the case of Brad and Mobius, they couldn't slap down on a McFlurry because they were in 1988, McFlurries did not exist at that point in time. 😅
McDonald's buildings definitely used to look better back then, now most of them are just postmodern buildings that are pretty boring to be honest, like many fast food chains. 😮💨
1:09:28
Loki is now the God of Stories. He literally rewrote the ending. 👌
From all the reactions I have seen it, this the best one and also very creative. It’s like a one shot but with reactions. Good video my dude.
THe full circle is more than that. Loki has become the god of stories - everything that can happen will happen - he's sitting on a throne in the center of Yggsdrasil - the world tree which is in Asgard and connects all the realms (9 in Norse mythology). When he first appeared in Journey into Mystery - three (or four - I'm not looking it up again) issues after the first appearance of Thor - he's imprisoned inside a tree in Asgard for his misdeeds (or mischief) and is waiting for a passerby to shed a tear which will release him from his prison.
I have to say I like this longer format of a full season in one go than breaking it up into multiple episodes much better. Also in the end Loki became the loom.
Lets hear it for the Loki season 1 and 2 script writers *applause*
38:50 Loki is talking about the first Thor movie when Thor was banished by Odin and came back having learned to be selfless. He's not talking about fat Thor in endgame. Loki and Odin were both already dead by then and Asgard had already been destroyed.
"But without them, where do I belong?" That line just broke my heart 💔💔
1 whole hour?! Amazing stuff!
I am hoping you at some point will cover the show "Dark" if you haven't already experienced it. Its completely unrelated to the MCU, however it is, IMO, the best show of all time
In the first season Sylvie was one of my favs then season two came out and I watched it, now I HATE her 😅 she was complaining the whole time giving everyone shit then didn’t give af Loki sacrificed himself. LOKI AND MOBIUS DESERVE THAT JETSKI RIDE TOGETHER 😭
idk when she said that he was giving them a chance she definitely seemed like she cared.
Loki is absolutely one of the most tragic MCU stories. The journey and development he had throughout the movies... the journey and development he made in the first season alone... while also making a familiar character feel... new... sort of
Loki has ascended from God of Mischief, to now the God of Stories. (literally his name now)
I was just rewatching s1!! This was such an amazing show, if not marvels best show and I'm so happy you reacted to it! Also love the long reaction!
Loki pruned himself because in the first episode he was TRYING to prune himself to stop the time slipping but couldn't find a prune.
Well, it's one thing for Loki Season 2 to put out a product that singlehandedly is carrying the weight of the failing MCU on its shoulders... It's another thing for how epic and complex and fulfilling it was.... It's an entirely different thing for Alex to put out probably his best reaction video that matches and does justice to the grandeur that Loki Season 2 displayed.
Kudos.
its funny how he goes from holding the mcu together figuratively to then literally.
Loving the longer videos!
Thanks for this, just what I needed in this Christmas stress. :D
That comment about Kang crumbling to pieces takes a whole new meaning since Majors was found guilty today.
Unfortunate
Fun fact, Jonathan Majors was just fired from MCU due to him being found guilty of a count of reckless assault and a non-criminal charge of harassment just as you released this reaction..
Which I think is a shame because his character actually worked so well in this series.
Fortunately in this age of multiverses, it's probably the easiest recasting case since Rhodey from Iron Man 1
They may not even continue with Kang, sadly. There’s been talks of Doom so they may just have to introduce him earlier than they planned and somehow speed up his arc for Secret Wars.
@@dylancole1910 I personally feel like they’d just recast, they’ve put too much into the multiverse saga and the looming threat of “Kang” now not to. That and I don’t think it’d take that much explanation to recast him since there are an infinite amount of variants for him anyway…
Then again I could 100% foresee a future in which Disney just says “fuck it, we’ll fuck off from this kang dude” and go with focus on Doctor Doom instead. Don’t get me wrong, really want Doom to show up, but don’t want him to be the afterthought after they ditch Kang. I also hope they do him more respectfully than they did Taskmaster in Black Widow…
@@Krisishere I've heard that there was a clause in his contract preventing Marvel from recasting Kang (just like how they can't recast any X-Men characters from the Fox universe until 2025), so they'll have to scrap the whole character. Maybe they can work some legal magic, though.
@@Krisishere but it could be hard to considering the antman and the wasp quantamania end credit scene where it showed a bunch of kangs and they were all jonathon majors including the main ones.
@@Greenhawk4 Tbh I haven't seen Quantumania nor do I intend to atleast for now, but I have seen that clip on social media. Can sorta look at it like this, there's an infinite amount of Kang variants (one for every damn timeline), and since that's the case, only a handful of those infinite variants were present in the aforementioned end credit scene.
Another point could be a comparison with what they did with Loki. Sure, most variants we saw when he was in the end of time or whatever were Tom Hiddleston Lokis', so it's fair to assume that although the majority look like him, there's bound to be some that look different e.g. Sylvie, the kid, the old guy, etc... The same could probably be true for Kang.
you did really good compacting this reaction for youtube, I feel like I'm getting every moment of each episode without sitting through a movie for each one
Thank you for this!
"i might just stay here for a little while, let time pass" absolute saddest quote and i cry every time
It’s weird watching this knowing it’s the LAST time we’ll see Johnathan Majors as Kang and his variants. As of a couple hours ago, Majors was officially fired from Marvel after being convicted of assault (among other things).
really loving the format in this video.
The fact that I just watched this for the first time yesterday. Right on time, Alex!! 💯
Man I love ur reactions! Straight up cracked me up and entertained us with ur carisma and personality. Love u bro🤣🫶🏻
This is the first show in a while I was anticipating every week and watched as soon as it was uploaded. After it ended i immediately wanted to see your reaction 😁
wait no way?? Loki's my favorite character and I finally binged the show last weekend after putting it off for so long, and now you uploaded this haha
Love the new format man! You should have had Aaron edit you timeslipping at the end though ;)
Love this style of video Alex. The one hour flew by. What an amazing journey Loki Season 2 was. Top tier Marvel
I feel like Loki seasons 1, and 2 is the series of marvel that you need to watch a explanation video or to find eastereggs because there is still so much to find that goes back to even Thor 1 and Norse mythology
Another one that was knocked out of the park and the ranking was a great addition. Have a great end of the year and can’t wait for the next one
Loki began as the God of Mischief. Loki ended as the God of Stories. Such a great arc like, he believed he deserved the throne, but it was the LAST thing he wanted in the end. So now he replaces the Loom in order to let everyone live, to allow the various timelines to exist. To stop Kang.
I know you’re busy but I’ve been craving more of your reactions to the boys. Keep up the good work as always!
This. This right here. This is a god worth worshiping. Loki, God of Stories, you have given up your freedom and sacrificed your chance to know the company of any others, all so that we could have both. You are burdened with Glorious Purpose and while your family won't know of your sacrifice, we will. We will sing songs and tell your story, so that all know the truth of your sacrifice and what you gave up for us. o7
Now that is a Christmas 🎄🎁. Thank you so much Alex🙏.
Oh, and I am here for it 3:30 I love it everytime 😅
Did you guys realize when he time slips back to the TVA to claim the throne, the machine says “Welcome he who remains”
Your reactions are awesome honestly. Loki season 2 is literally peak fiction, the CGI, the acting, the soundtrack, and every part of this show is genuinely great. Few days and all I've been watching are your videos LMAO and I'm still waiting for Fantastic Beasts, it's awesome!! You're right, Loki's character development was INSANE
One of the things that make te loki series seem so much more than other shows is the fact that they built all the set and shot in locations instead of having actors fake run infront a green screen or sit on two chairs in front a green screen and pretend to be eating pies. It gives the entire show a way better feel
In the end, Loki used the timelines to create the Yggdrasil, the tree that, in mythology, connected the 9 realms. At one point, he was locked up at the base of the tree as punishment for one of his crimes, and I like how the show kind of retools that idea while reflecting the source.
There is SOO much that is hinted at about Lokis lore in Norse mythology in this show. Loki had always been my favorite character and god to study irl. But the tree of Yygdrasil blew me away, as i knew a fair amount of people wouldnt realize the meaning. Im glad you enjoyed it. Because personally, they finally did him some lore accurate justice. 😊
Danke! This is what I needed today ❤
love you alex keep up the awesome videos your reactions are amazing and entertaining
1:05 This gives me an idea that you should do an MCU Tier List where u could rank all the McU movies/series as you like, that would be a really cool video something different as well.
I worked at McDonalds a couple years ago, and our McFlurry machine was broken maybe once, and while we would get it fixed, the manager would insist we tell customers it's broken so nobody would get ice cream. The reason behind this -- nobody wanted to clean that shit. It's a nightmare.
Watched the whole thing, liked it and now I am commenting. Alex, you entertain my ass after long teaching days. Keep doing it man.
Loki became the God of Stories. He's basically the Watcher without freedom to move. He sees everything but can never participate.
so just got to 1:08:05 to answer your questions about loki , he had a sad smile , he didnt want to be alone , but he wanted to save his friends , so he must be "burdened with glorious purpose" and thus damned himself to be alone for the rest of his existence to keep everything from falling apart , in the beginning Loki god of "mischief", by the end evolved into Loki god of "Stories"
you should also take note his horns are made of the black and gold marble at the end of time aswell
It's more like Atlas than the God of Stories though.
@@Jdawg319 i mean i guess? even though its officially his new title
If you go back and watch the movies with loki in it you'll notice so much that ties into the loki series
The mcflurry machine is never broken, it just takes ages to clean and they just say it's broke so they don't have to restart cleaning it
There's the Crispin Glover laugh! LOL Great video, thank you.
been a long time waiting for this reaction
Epic.
Keep up the awesome work 🤩
I don't know if you noticed at the time or not since any reaction to it wasn't included, but the intro credits for Episode 6 played backwards.
Every time u got pissed at miss minutes for just existing it killed me 😂
Bro i have been waiting for this let's goooo
If you noticed the name of episode one season 1 is the same as the last episode in season two. It all comes full circle. Loki has always been my favorite character. He has so many layers to him, that you can feel his pain, his sorrow, his happiness. And most of all we can relate to not being alone. But in the end, he gave up everything so everyone could live. This is why the show LOKI won this year's peoples choice awards. There was so much heart and passion and I think its a big thanks to Tom Hiddlston. Being loki.
10:03 lol everyone said that exact same thing when the episode dropped. Eric Martin, you have all my respect. Every episode has that energy and it's epic.
I'm jealous of you that you saw it all in one go and I waited a week for each episode, and with them being this epic, it was painful to say the least. Painful but in the best way possible
I finished Season 2 of Loki a few days ago and the conclusion is still ringing in my head because of how amazing Loki's arc turned out to be. Perhaps the best one in the entire MCU. Epitome of self sacrifice.
Thank you Alex for an amazing reaction, all in one video. It's perhaps your best one yet.
