Loki 2x2 Reaction | Breaking Brad

[@crystalfire5564]

Casey meeting OB was like Mark meeting Ricken in Severance. Pure joy in seeing the person whose words made a difference in their lives.

[@tadcooper9733]

lmao omg yes.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Yes!!!

[@mranima748]

This show reminds me of severance

[@ZyliceLiddell]

Fun fact: This is Marvel’s most expensive and successful show and is the third most expensive show of all time! 🤯

[@ZyliceLiddell]

I *SWEAR* the pie and interrogation room scenes were improvised. That’s why they’re so good! 😂

[@CraitMerc]

Given the look on your face during Tom's "terrible awful things to you" speech, it definitely had the opposite of the intended effect on you 😂

[@Cornberry]

Just a little side thing, they have the key lime pie at California Adventure at Disneyland now, but it looks more like a duller green instead of the kinda fluorescent green here.

[@johnniequinn3215]

Sylvie having HWR's TemPad does not give her the power to reset Everything. Even HWR had to create the TVA to keep track of all of time and thecresulting branches. Having said that, it's heavily implied that this TemPad will be important to the Story, just as Sylvie is not out of the story yet.

[@hashtagPoundsign]

Möbius' rational could also be: "I'm here, so the me on the sacred timeline can have a life." 80's French fries are amazing and very not Vegan but so very tasty, I remember them from my childhood and the memories with my parents. So far I'm enjoying the series this season, they are bringing the A game.

[@barkingmonkee]

I know, right? 80s McDonalds was great, not just the beef fat fries but the apple pies were still deep fried; I really miss those.

[@DingoEnderZOE2]

12:10 yeaaaah the fear of having the actual means to look at what your life could have been or even should have been and comparing your current life(especially if it's not what you would have wanted for yourself) to that can definitely be bad to your mental health if what could have been was 10 to 20 times better than your current present. Sometimes ignorance truly is bliss and im glad they touched on this potential dilemma for the people of the TVA.

[@vizh]

If you want to speculate what the movie was about, I looked it up as soon as it was over, and sure enough "Zaniac" is a Marvel reference... It was an entity from Dormammu's Dark Dimension that possessed people (apparently responsible for the man who became Jack the Ripper), and in the present day possessed an actor named Brad Wolfe. It was from a Thor story that had the Zaniac killing Jane Foster and Thor working with a TVA agent to hunt down the Zaniac through time and stop it from ever happening.

[@Thoronris]

Thw whole opener to this episode had me sitting there and just thinking "god, Loki is so attractive" on loop. Just him walking. Running. Doing his shadow thing. Phew. Hiddleston definitely knows how to play Loki!

[@ZyliceLiddell]

He doesn’t have to ‘play’ Loki. He just has to be *MORE* Loki in this show if the writers and directors *LET HIM!*

[@ZyliceLiddell]

Suits are *MADE* for him and so is this *ROLE!*

[@ZyliceLiddell]

I almost forgot that Loki *HAD* magic! 🤯

[@TheJosephmiranda44]

Based on OB's technical prowess, I think that he is a variant who was once known as Data

[@funnylilgalreacts]

😂

[@jasonmarbach]

I really think this was the best episode of the whole series so far. Really spectacular television

[@Cjohnson725]

Hair on point!

[@ChristopherStLouis-xl1hk]

I can’t believe it took me so long to recognize Rafael Casal as X-5. He was so good in Blindspotting with best bud, Daveed Diggs. He’s also a surprisingly good rapper.

[@geminiblade]

Tbh Owen Wilson really had me fooled. I did expect them to do that but he really made it seem like Loki told him one plan then decided to do something different and I was like wait did Loki actually Loki mobius?

[@kevenpinder7025]

I have to imagine Dox' purge will have eased the pressure on the Loom, but only temporarily. Interesting how Dox' name is also a menacing verb.

[@ZyliceLiddell]

Brad is *GOLD!*

[@ZyliceLiddell]

It was *AMAZING* to see ‘Loki’ back in this episode! He wasn’t getting beat up and abused for once or cowering and crying! 😃

[@kevenpinder7025]

Sylvie has "He''s" pad, which i suspect allows her access to Miss Minutes, whatever that gets her. I think she planned not to use it, so the inevitable variances could run free. But, remember Kang's last line, "See ya soon." In the TVA time is a line. In Kang's castle it was a circle. Time is turning in on itself. Kang is swinging back around.

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

We talk about spoken lines and costume looks but a large part of screen storytelling is character reactions. And Tom Hiddleston’s reaction in the automat, to Mobius saying “I mean, you’re the god of mischief, right?” is the kind of quality acting which sets certain actors apart. He plays it as Loki being proud to be called that, touched that Mobius would call him that, and appreciative of their relationship all in one smile and head tilt. Such a split second of deep and binding adoration for the man in front of him, and their entire journey to bring them to this moment of friendship. There are set pieces, eloquent soliloquies, action scenes, and all that pizzazz. But those little reaction shots are the mortar between bricks and they do as much character building as anything else.

[@ZyliceLiddell]

No fancy CGI needed. Just good writing and acting! 😃

[@jlo1195]

HAHH I can see Loki has gotten under your skin...."what's that mean?" ...Love all your reactions! Your smile brings light to the world!

[@chainreactions5807]

We're building a team!! Mobius and Loki (and Sylvie) as the main "Agents", B-15 heading the new TimeCops with D-90 as a 2nd, and OB and Casey as the tech guys. I LOVE THIS CAST! I'll call them...."TIME-X" lol

[@LeeCarlson]

In attempting to get under Loki's skin, Brad got into his own head, and once he remembered that even as a "loser" Loki has killed countless people, it did not take much for Loki to convince him that he would be just one more in a long list of homicides.

[@KennyMrTerrellThisIsTheWay2024]

I enjoyed your reaction to this episode I just saw it a few minutes ago and my favorite part of your reactions when Loki did the square torture and fan boying OB's book and seeing Sylvie Back in her uniform and Tom Hiddleston wearing a very nice suit !!! All those time lines and people really sad I just hope the present is still OK And I love McDonald's I always eat it every once a week cause it's close to my house🏡🍔🍔🍟🫓🥤

[@MattPerk7]

Dox did tell X5 to go look for Sylvie, and he obviously found her because he knew where she was. It seems implicit that she helped him make whatever modifications were made to his temppad, so she possibly got in his head about not going back to the TVA. I think she's playing a bigger game than we've been allowed to see or understand yet, and I think that X5 is in on it. I might be overthinking it, but it just makes a lot of sense at this point. What do you think?

[@funnylilgalreacts]

The loving mother/son relationship that Dox and X5 had in that scene together was very weird. There’s definitely a bigger plan.

[@johnobrien7562]

What I keep coming back to is that X5 likely pruned the Brad Wolfe on the Sacred Timeline and took that life, otherwise he would've created another branch. The other thing is - they are all variants. Seeing a version of yourself on the sacred timeline doesn't mean that was their life - each and every one made decisions that pulled them away from that life enough that it was a nexus event.

[@DramaNinja0]

Loki and Sylvie double trouble forever!!

[@StarkRG]

Man, I can't get enough of B-15's 1977 get-up. It's sad we only got 7.5 seconds of it.

[@ZyliceLiddell]

Loki/Tom in suits is just 😘👌🔥

[@kevenpinder7025]

Our timeline is a particular mess as the Infinity Stones are gone. We're unmoored

[@Raymail-tj4cf]

The New York story was this Loki’s last time on the main timeline.

[@catinasuitcase]

Something I just noticed! Loki has seemingly given up his daggers, perhaps taking note of Classic Loki's advice: "...blades are worthless in the face of a Loki sorcery, they stunt our magical potential." And his magic seemed much more potent this time around. At the least, what little we get of it.

[@HskHeroReborn]

Enjoy your channel so much much love from Indy

[@kevincraigmile7340]

An estimated two point nine trillion gone😢😢😢

[@JackOiswatching]

Since you're such a fan of Casey, have you been checking out Star Trek Lower Decks? The actor voices one of the main characters!

[@LeeCarlson]

I have started referring to the character from Season One as "He Who (no longer) Remains."

[@pettyofficerdan1807]

This is my prediction: the person that Moebius used to be is exactly like he is now, and he was a lonely workaholic bureaucrat analyst for some big corporation in the mid-20th century, and that's why the TVA has everyone dressed in 20th-century outfits and why all the furniture and all the cafeterias and everything are themed for the mid-20th century. Maybe Mobius was the first guy that He-Who-Remains pruned, and the TVA is meant to make Mobius feel normal and comfortable.

[@VADallasCowboysFan]

Your title edits are on point 👍🏽

[@efremvercaigne7265]

Did you notice the grating in the interrogation room? I think it's to more easily clean up after "interrogations" if the subject gets... "chunkified".

[@MaximizedAction]

Yeah Brad's actor stole the whole episode. I want more of him too!

[@Jbluez1]

I bet they get Sylvie back by showing her “Super Size Me”. 😂

[@lothsper]

That's interesting that you think it's OB that prone him because I thought it was that general's that old general lady I thought that was her little lover that pruned him

[@DocEonChannel]

I want to know if resetting a branched timeline works the same as pruning an individual. Because that would mean that each time you do it, an entire universe worth of stuff is dumped into the End Of Time - and it didn't look big enough for that. :P

[@Save_One]

After this episode, I want to see the movie Zaniac now.

[@ZyliceLiddell]

12:26 It looks like Asgard!

[@kevenpinder7025]

Moebius is torn about his other life. For better or worse, he has been gifted/beset by a life of purpose. He'll never abandon that responsibility, so it would be agony to go see what he can never inhabit. BUT, IF somehow, he could be sure that the multiverse was safe, and could carry on safely without him, he'd go back and revel in it for all his days no matter how awful, or how brief.

[@joeblankenship377]

Sylvie needs to enchant OB to unlock everything he knows. Like, if he knows the ins and outs of TVA technology, then he should know something about the Kang variant that put it all together.

[@ZyliceLiddell]

16:51 He’s looking *NICE!* 😋

[@darknessfalls1568]

Looking forward to your SAW X reaction I’ve been a die hard saw fan and love all of them except jigsaw and spiral SAW X was one of the best if not the best one, it got the highest rating out of all SAW movies Really looking forward to your reaction

[@taraeasley1447]

I think He Who Remains' tempad is super powerful, but he also had Miss Minutes. I think the power lies in the combination of both. O.B. said he never had to manage the tempural loom because Miss Minutes took care of it. Where is Miss Minutes?

[@Bill-en7kw]

Point of fact. Key lime pie should NOT be green. That looks so artificial I'd be hesitant to eat it.

[@metelineblue294]

yea they're like white, the pie in show still looks yummy tho

[@ZyliceLiddell]

It wipes their memories. 😉

[@afrodesiac8064]

I'm gonna be wild and say a Kang variant pruned Loki.

[@davidboivin7996]

Shout out to Janis Joplin in the closing track. ❤

[@urfaes6878]

"I'd like to thank the guy that took me and got me this pie." Who got him the pie? Loki.

[@ZyliceLiddell]

You’re onto something big there. 😉😉😉😉

[@tanisparker1282]

My smile was as big as yours when Loki was doing his Loki things

[@ZyliceLiddell]

For the first and *ONLY* time in this show! Except for the first episode of the show maybe.

[@kevenpinder7025]

Not to put too fine a point on it, that's not a cafeteria. It's an "automat." All the food selections are pre made and sitting behind little doors. Some were coin operated, some had one "lobby" employee who worked the register. They never really caught on and only existed in major cities. In the end credits they depict a vending machine for coffee and hot chocolate, and, farthest clockwise, hot soup. I remember machines like this. It was watery chicken noodle soup. It was really terrible.

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

I remember those vending machines! There was at least one (but I believe more) behind the scenes at Canada’s Wonderland when I worked there in the late 80’s. The entire selection of liquids was a toss-up on every pour. You’d have to take a sip to find out. …but during the “Hell Weeks” (when the park was open in late Spring, pre-Summer), if the soup, coffee, or chocolate was hot, then the machine was a godsend!

[@ZyliceLiddell]

How can Tom Hiddleston manage to look boyish and innocent, pathetic *AND* badass and dominating?! 🤯 My least favourite version of Loki is the ‘pathetic’ and ‘submissive’ Loki we had in season 1 but I’m liking that he’s more mature now. Not to mention how *HOT!* Yes, he was pretty in season 1 but he got fooled around and picked on too much. He looks like and acts like a *MAN* now! 🥵🔥

[@WastedPo]

I wish this wasn't limited to 6 episodes a season. I loved a lot of the scenes here, especially Tom Hiddleston in the interrogation room. But so much is unexplained with the Brad being a movie star stuff. (I'm still not clear on how Brad was able to rejoin his life on the original timeline. If he is a variant--presumably he made some choice that wasn't "approved" of, and he was taken to the TVA. That means his other self is STILL living their lives on the original timeline. So, uh, what did he do with the other Brad so he could take his place?) As a viewer, it feels like we missed an episode or two, and only the knowledge that this is, indeed, episode 2 of 6 keeps us from wondering if we skipped something.

[@JiReyAnimation]

He didn't rejoin his old life on the timeline. He just got himself a new life. He probably didn't even have to steal it from his variant.

[@WastedPo]

@@JiReyAnimation So he just appeared as a fully formed adult with no history, family or social security number?

[@JiReyAnimation]

@@WastedPo he was taken from his life on the timeline by the TVA. That timeline is pruned. The life he has now, he just traveled to a timeline and started from scratch there, as an adult. He didn't have to take his old life from another one of his variants. All those papers can be forged. Especially because they probably do it all the time at the TVA if they need to go undercover.

[@ZyliceLiddell]

That interrogation scene reminded me that he *DOES* know how to be Loki. It’s just the script that doesn’t let him! 😫😩😤

[@douglasgray6637]

The great thing about being off work today is I can watch your reaction as soon as you post it , I am looking forward to another amazing reaction from you 👍👏👏👏

[@onegemini420]

Thank you for sharing your reaction. Your insight is always a delight and your passion for the characters, in many of the shows you react to, is powerful and honest. You have a way of pointing out the uniqueness in characters such as Zuko in ATLA and Brad here. Your reactions are a treat and I always look forward to them. Would happily enjoy sharing some hot and fresh McDonald's french fries and discussing shows with you. By sharing I mean we each get a large fry, too tasty to split one. 😋

Casey has the manual nearly memorized, the manual has a picture of OB, so why didnt Casey recognize OB?

[@raymondamador1487]

Just like The Witcher season 1, events out of order. This episode was funny.

[@beethewizard]

Angela one thing to remember is Sylvia is Loki they are not separate individuals. She was the only female Loki shown which, may be why she was pruned which in turn, proves she did nothing wrong but that she was born.

[@Stephanie-es7wv]

No, the reason why she was pruned was that she was becoming a good person. It was clearly shown in the first season. I don't remember the episode, but it was when she played with her toys before she got taken by the TVA. And Loki and Sylvie are not one thing. They have their own character. They're not exactly the same.

[@beethewizard]

@@Stephanie-es7wv Hi Stephanie. Thank you for your response to my comment. I need her help to enlighten me. What mischief had the female Loki caused? As you mentioned, all we saw was her playing with toys while when Möbius showed versions of Loki all were male. They are the same entity/person however; they have different life experiences which is what confused He Who Remains when two of the same person arrive Remember, he mentioned how wild it was that both of them were there being they are they same person. Sylvia also informed Loki he could enchant because she could because they are the same person. This does not take away from their slightly different variations in characteristics but they are of course, variants. Can you please point me to the scene showing young female Loki as a bad person? If I missed it, I apologize; I don’t recall her being pruned until she pruned herself and found Mobius and the Loki crew at the end of time. The hunters grabbed her as a child but she escaped so they never pruned her.

In Ahsoka, Disney uses a character that is said to have arrived at the Jedi tempel in a big blue box (Huyang) and now they call a Marvel character Brad Wolfe? Are they trying to buy the BBC's SciFi deparment?

[@tomgurran4870]

The only thing I don't understand is Sylvie having that TemPad. In season 1, HWR says he programmed it to go where he did when he pressed it so is ALL of this still programmed? Did Sylvie program it?

[@AlbionOfAvalon55]

dox action in this episode is so obvious when we where introduce to her character bcoz she was against the plan of not pruning the other branch timeline and she left the tba with a lot of fire power for one person and i know sylvie has killed alot of tba hunters and is a force to be reckoned with but let be honest eliminating sylvie is not the only thing in dox's mind after learning the truth and her stubborn belief of pruning other timeline be the correct way....

[@kevenpinder7025]

Sylvie: Do you want fries with that? Who'd have thunk it?

[@FreyaofCerberus]

I am unsure about this season, there have been some good moments for sure but it feels...disjointed. Like this episode revolved a lot around x-5 and made it seem like they had a long standing relationship but he was just introduced in the last episode. Mobius made some comment about "all that time you've been gone and you haven't found her?" But he only left at the end of last episode with no discernable time jump. And the mystery of the general's mission, set up and resolved in less than an episode. Also also maybe it will be addressed but aren't the branches infinite? The bombing would have to continue indefinitely like the TVA previously or they are finite in which case the bombing just solved problem with the time loom. I dunno, maybe i'm just getting old but it really feels like this show has cut a bunch of connective tissue (like oh 4-6 extra episodes) to fix the stupid 6-ep limit marvel tv shows have now and i feel like i'm missing things, forgetting things and just generally having to do extra work to make it make sense. Your reactions as always though are impeccable. Looking forward to the next one :)

[@FreddyKurganNimmo]

I think Dox is an older version of this variant of Sylvie🤔 And X-5/Brad is her son with Loki😮

[@mranima748]

Is that incest?

[@FreddyKurganNimmo]

I think it's more self-love than incest🤔🤷

[@robertsanssouci2093]

If they need Kang’s aura for that piece of tech my guess is they’ll go looking for the nicest version of Kang and discover Victor Timely and bring him to the TVA for the aural match. So if I were Ant-Man Kang and I just got set free (I theorize he did not die at the end of Quantumania) then I’d find Victor and kill him and take his place and wait for the TVA to come get me and bring me there.
