#Loki #vkunia

[@bigyin396]

"I wonder why they always make the setting green" Because its the Loki show. Lokis color is green.

[@StarkRG]

Also, though I don't know how much of this played into it, the Time Stone is green also which suggests "time" is green in the MCU.

[@cirrustate8674]

One of the absolute best things about this show is the chemistry between Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston.

[@SyzygyNoon]

The perfect person to feed Loki a chill pill. I love the way he says “Louw-key” with such a soft pronunciation. Guy’s got a gentle nature, despite his profession.

[@ThePonderer]

Loki, but especially the first episode, is unquestionably the most incisive character deconstruction the MCU’s ever done. Just strips away every layer of pretense one by one until all that’s left is the man’s raw core.

[@SyzygyNoon]

Even bad attention is attention. Anything to be noticed. Anything.

[@nintenmetro]

One of my favorite things about this sci-fi crime thriller show overall is that Tom Hiddleston himself is an executive producer. He’s exploring this character with the rest of us, and that’s a glorious purpose if I ever heard one. Going into this back in June 2021, my biggest concern with this show was the initial character development. What I mean is that Loki had solidified himself as both a hero and an Avenger when he attempted to kill Thanos himself at the beginning of Infinity War. All that development was up and gone when Thanos killed him, but Analyst Loki (as I personally call him so we don’t confuse him with original Loki) was able to see how his life was supposed to play out.

[@CalciumChief]

He's exploring the ways to make Loki a background character in his own show.

[@markcruz359]

Loki was never an Avenger. Although Analyst Loki is still the same Loki that was taken to Asgard and imprisoned in Thor the dark world. So the moment that Analyst Loki learns his mother died, his father died and he too died will definitely change anyone's outlook in life. Basically all his development automatically transfers to Analyst Loki

[@tarlane]

My read on Loki is that Betrayal is always a part of his plan. He just may not always be betraying the good guys.

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

Well, how else does one do mischief? It's like having Thor do something without noise, it's just not done.

[@ColvyMolvy]

I love that he hesitates not knowing if he's a robot but doesn't know it lmao 😂 It's also refreshing hearing a reactor NOT have a "MEPHISTO?!" reaction when the kid points at the devil window tbh.

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

Um, lots of super nerds did NOT buy into the Mephisto theories ... because they were silly. Marvel isn't subtle about seeding in characters, factions, or themes. Comic book mythos are overt, and the MCU is no different.

[@ColvyMolvy]

@@AngeloBarovierSD my apologies, I should have said reactor instead of super nerd... Have rectified.

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

@@ColvyMolvy 👍

[@darthfinality]

To be fair, she probably doesn't know who Mephisto is. Especially given her habit of jumping to conclusions.

[@chrislecount4801]

Probably because she doesn’t know who Mephisto is.

[@alexanderphilips1101]

The whole D.B. Cooper case was fascinating to me and the fact that they added it into the show was perfect 🤣 the money flew out onto a beach called "Tinabar Beach" and I believe a kid found the money, because all the serial numbers matched the stolen 20 dollar bills, but sadly nobody found out who D.B. Cooper was

[@SyzygyNoon]

This is stoopid, but, apparently, he was da bomb.

[@SyzygyNoon]

@@Caseytify Well, that’s what you get from a potentially non-living-legend. He is the Schrödinger’s cat of thieves.

[@jaanfo3874]

Look up the artists’ rendering of the actual D.B. Cooper. The resemblance to Hiddleston is uncanny. This “explanation” for D.B.Cooper is absolutely perfect.

[@alexanderphilips1101]

@@jaanfo3874 it really is, I looked at him and went, "THAT LOOKS LIKE COOPER"

[@bensneb360]

I love the “hitchhikers guide to the galaxy” feel to the show

[@SyzygyNoon]

Loki forgot his towel.

[@neospock5034]

@@SyzygyNoon he dropped it while listening to Vogon poetry.

[@SyzygyNoon]

@@neospock5034 Mmmm..hhmmmhhmmm

[@SyzygyNoon]

Mmmm.. Begging your pardon. mmmmmm

[@literalsarcasm1830]

Loki made it a point to show that he was an expert in magic because it's what his mother taught him. He may be a selfish and conniving trickster, but he always gives her the credit she's due.

[@LeoDas411]

I love how different Owen Wilson's role is in this compared to his previous ones.

[@michaelrosas2153]

When Loki sees the infinity stones just there, he realizes thy are basically nothing in the grand scheme of things

[@kylierogers7450]

I love how every single version of loki is just sass and thats it. love your videos!

[@jwanie366]

Welcome to the MCU Multiverse, V. This is where the Saga really begins imo

[@DJKuroh]

Its funny what types of style resonates with people because I LOVE the style of the TVA.

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

Same!

[@huhjanus]

right? this is literally the first time i have heard someone hate the look of the TVA.

[@kvm6]

In Ep1, Loki is so shook from his death because, just a few hours prior he was working for Thanos and destroying NY. To then see him being killed by him would've been chilling

[@Ghost8386]

Glorious episode. Also, love Loki TV Series' main theme was loosely inspired by A Clockwork Orange (1971).

[@Drake844221]

It is such a wonderful show, and I'm so happy with how it came out. It was hilarious to find out that Tom actually gave classes to the various actors... on how to play Loki. That's just glorious XD But yeah, the one thing that was so tough for me with it was the fact that I had to wait a week (or more) between episodes!

[@haddow777]

If you are finding the aesthetic of the TVA unsettling, that it because it's supposed to unsettle you. The design choices are meant to evoke the essence of bureaucracy, something soulless, devoid of empathy or joy. It may be unsettling, but it's also a part of character development of the TVA. Everything about it wreaks of bureaucracy. The forms to fill out, the joyless nearly mindless employees just getting through another task, the fact that they avoid answering a question at almost any cost. It's all setup specifically to evoke unsettling uncomfortable emotions. You have to give it to the production team who design the world with so much detail, so without any real things being said, it's already making you feel all sorts of things. Buckle in though. If you think it's gotten crazy, it hasn't even started yet. Love this show and can't wait for the 2nd season.

[@thedoctor4327]

One big reason I love Loki is all the similarities to one of my favorite films, Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil”. Like Loki, Brazil is about a vast oppressive bureaucracy that’s trying to maintain order in a fantastical world via an elaborate system of paperwork/forms and a violent police force that brutally deals with anyone that gets out of line/making the smallest bureaucratic errors. Definitely recommend watching Brazil if anyone hasn’t, particularly if you like Harry Potter as the Ministry of Magic took a lot of inspiration from Brazil

[@cyberleadr]

Just don't watch the American cut.

[@thedoctor4327]

^Thanks for the reminder.

[@DeyCallMeDrama]

Loki series is on another level compared to the others becuz he is the God of Mischief!!

[@garyarnett1220]

totally love it.. the best series they've done...season 2 coming soon.

[@monstahslayah]

I love how hard Natalie Holt went with the music

[@scrrin]

Too bad she wasn't allowed to do the same for Kenobi

[@jokerz7936]

When Mt. Vesuvius erupted the gas clouds could be seen in the morning with the actual eruption happening around 1PM it lasted until the next morning between the smoke inhalation and being covered in ashe is why most were found in a laying position.

[@WyattoonsComics]

I love that this whole show is pretty meta. A fictional character fighting against the authors.

[@stormempire51]

Its almost like Inkheart... a little bit

[@dupersuper1938]

Wait 'til she gets to She-Hulk...

[@phongsaiyuk]

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS JOURNEY. Loki was one of the best series coming out of Marvel.

[@dupersuper1938]

I love the design of the TVA. Give me that retro 70s art deco all day.

[@AdrianChazz]

_-_*_We watch Loki for the first time..._* _-"We?"_ _-The Royal "we!" You know, the editorial..._

[@Legather]

I love the design of the TVA. It's an aesthetic era that doesn't get used enough, especially for sci-fi.

[@steved1135]

Yup. They wanted something different, as opposed to the boring, overused 'super futuristic clean and shiny' look. It's perfect. if your environment is literally timeless, the aesthetic would then be a hodgepodge selection.

[@Ghost8386]

Miss Minutes is giving me Clippy vibes. Holding Out for a Hero I love this song because of Footloose(1984), Short Circuit 2(1988), and Who's Harry Crumb (1989).

[@mikebrown7799]

Great to see you doing this series, Vicki!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 It is very interesting to see the evolution of 2012 Loki throughout this series. The series is very well made, and I hope you continue with season 2 when it is released. Nice job reacting to your first two Loki episodes!!!🏆

[@davidgard6699]

Tom Hiddleston has said that what he likes most about Loki is that he "plays all the keys" at any time he might do anything.

[@culade]

The MCU meets Doctor Who, love it.

[@nigelhyde279]

The Pompeii pyroclastic flow happened in the morning of the second day of the eruption. The people weren’t asleep, but in the throes of an agonising death.

[@Polymathically]

32:23 According to Pliny the Younger, Vesuvius erupted around 1 PM. By 5 PM, the roofs were collapsing under the weight of the ash, doors couldn't be opened, the sun had been blotted out, and lots of people abandoned their homes in favor of the harbor. Starting around midnight, Pompeii was hit by multiple pyroclastic surges. The people who were left there probably weren't asleep, but trapped in their homes because it was the only shelter left. According to one scientific study, any remaining inhabitants suffocated in the cloud of ash and gas, in a span of somewhere between 10-20 minutes. Hence why so many of them looked like they died in sleeping positions.

[@jonmercano1138]

the animated timekeepers had spots on their faces that could be considered scales

[@-.NYX.-]

LOL @ "Did you just get down into the fire?"

[@genedoss664]

Great job! You're the first reactor I've seen who picked up the D. B. Cooper thing before they say the name.

"You mischevous scamp...." "What's a fish?"

[@pixelic409]

Wow! Nice reaction! I love all your reactions!

[@WyattoonsComics]

Oh! Little fun fact! Roxxon is the oil company from Iron Man 3. In the comics they’re basically this giant evil conglomerate corporation (think BnL from Wall-E).

[@thathighguy6980]

I would say think Wal-Mart. Or p possibly Amazon

[@mizrolist]

@@thathighguy6980 Roxxon's template was Exxon.

[@thathighguy6980]

@@mizrolist I almost listed that company also. But Wal-Mart fits better now that they've branched out into oil and energy (fueling and charging stations). But otherwise I completely agree

[@mattkorvola7807]

So happy to see you start this series!!! I’m really excited to see what your reaction is to the last episode!! Cuz it’s such a huge key to the next overall chapter of the MCU post Thanos

[@radwolf76]

5:46 "Why is she Southern? Why is she a Southern Belle?" The answer to that is in two parts. First, despite supremely talented voice actress Tara "Taralicious" Strong having over 600 roles to her name on IMDb, including Raven on Teen Titans, Harley Quinn in several projects, Hello Kitty, Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls, Rikku from Final Fantasy X, Timmy Turner from Fairly Odd Parents, and a Bellybutton of all things in the Ted movie, she'd never voiced an Anthropomorphic Clock Mascot, and decided to give a Southern voice a try, along with a Siri like voice and one halfway between Siri and her normal voice. The showrunners felt the Southern voice was the best fit for the character. Second, that shot of the TVA Archives at 29:19 was filmed at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. Like many other buildings designed by architect John Portman, this building is very popular with Hollywood. It was the Tribute Training Center in the Hunger Games Sequels, was in the only Hannibal Lector movie to NOT star Loki's dad - Manhunter, and even showed up earlier in the MCU in the teaser trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming in a scene that doesn't show up in the actual movie, where the Vulture is swooping down that distinctive rib cage like atrium. It's not the first time that the Atlanta Marriott Marquis has seen a Loki within its walls. Every year over Labor Day weekend, the Marriott, four neighboring convention hotels, and a few city block size convention halls (all but two of which were also designed Portman) play host to DragonCon, one of the biggest all-around geekery conventions on the U.S. East Coast. Dozens if not hundreds of Loki -̴v̴a̴r̴i̴a̴n̴t̴s̴-̴ cosplayers can be found in the Marriott each DragonCon. The Marriott was not the only Atlanta filming location for this show: the outdoor scenes of the Oshkosh Renfaire was filmed at the Georgia Renaissance Festival just south of Atlanta. And to bring things full circle, one time, in that Marriott, at DragonCon, Tara Strong asked me to be her sugar daddy. True story.

[@kevinhegwood615]

I am so psyched you're finally doing this show, and am very interested on your takes.

[@daveautzen9089]

The D. B. Cooper bit was so great!

[@jicaste2124]

VKunia: What is Owen Wilson doing here?! Me: Acting.

[@LittleMan27]

The TVA is designed with tech & objects from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s, and the future because they are the TVA and can travel to any time in history

[@patoman5112]

For anyone who didn't know but Loki is actually the Norse God of mischief and he is the father to the big dog that was in ragnarök and mother to odins horse

[@futuramayeah]

V, in Iron Man 3, he thought he was facing off against the Mandarin, but in the comics, the Mandarin is a chinese archaeologist and he finds a cave in China with an ancient alien spaceship, and inside is a robot dragon with 10 power rings on his claws, that fit on the human, Mandarin's fingers. and each one has a different alien language symbol on it, and each one does a horrible and powerful thing, like lightning blast and black hole and freeze ray . and the rings actually belong to a race of space lizards known as the Bakugan race.

[@ryanroff3976]

I have to say your worry over the salad overlaid with Moribius’ worry was pretty priceless.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

I'm so envious. Getting to bgine watch this. The agony (like with most Marvel TV series), of hav9ing to wait week after week for more answers was unbearable lol. TBH Loki is the BEST Marvel show/series thus far. WandaVision was nice and all, but Loki opens the door to a whole new side of Marvel alto of fans have been waiting for. Heck this series, without spoiling it for you, is the key that really started off the current phase we are in (and the next two phases).

[@jalencrisp]

i can’t wait for you to finish this!

[@dannybob42]

So now we usher the multiverse in with Loki, but not the Loki we grew to love no it's the alternate timeline Loki that escaped due to Tony's miscalculation during Endgame. Still he had some moment to reflect on the life he may've led before snapped by Thanos before The Snap, so now we have Loki: Probationary Time Cop! We have some lowkey canon characters in Mobius M. Mobius and Ravonna Renslayer of the TVA - also a comic canon organization, but also the fresh usage of another alternate timeline Loki. Fun Fact: Tom Hiddleston has a Classics degree, so he's going into familiar territory in the Pompeii scene

Embracing identity, taking on identity, losing your identity, becoming one identity, moving on with a new identity, creating a fake identity, variants & the multiverse being a literal take on different identities, being identified by others, sharing your identity, having an identity crisis, choosing your identity, finding your identity, living a double life, fighting over an identity, etc;

[@alexblackwell3259]

I do like the reference of the 2048 climate crisis apocalypse. It's an actual reference to a real world study where the oceans of Earth end up empty of fish enough that the eco-system within can no longer sustain life on the surface and so would begin the next great extinction event. The study itself is now out of date and innacurate but the threat it predicted is still looming over us and scientists are already claiming we're in the beginning of the 6th Great Extinction Event. Fun times
