- 2:48this again. It was so fun.
- 2:51I love this show. I'm not sure which one I like
- 2:53more Wan division loci or Falcon and Winter Soldier.
- 2:57I still feel like his One Division but Loki was So close
- 3:00to me it's so good. I know I know I want a vision
- 3:04really like because they just like they get you in the heart
- 3:08with the one division but Loki's like such a like it's so close
- 3:13it's different. It's like a crime Thriller, you
- 3:15know, it's more about like look, he's a detective all of a sudden
- 3:19which is kind of cool. Detective, Loki, Loki, figuring
- 3:23things out. Get let's get into it.
- 3:25Spencer, give us your summary. Okay, after stealing the
- 3:29tesseract, Back during the events of Avengers and game and
- 3:33Alternate version of Loki is brought to the mysterious time
- 3:36variance, Authority, also known as the TVA, a burocratic
- 3:40organization that exists outside of time and space and monitors
- 3:44the timeline. They give Loki, a choice face
- 3:47being erased from existence due to being a Time variant or help
- 3:50fix the timeline to stop a greater threat.
- 3:53Look, he ends up on a path that could change the very fate of
- 3:56time shaping the future of the entire Marvel Cinematic.
- 4:00Q reverse boom I couldn't not have summarized it better
- 4:03myself. Spencer everyone who has not
- 4:06watched loci, that is your spoiler warning from here on
- 4:10out. We're going to spoil everything.
- 4:12There will be nowhere to hide. I'm actually going to try to
- 4:15spoil everything this week. That's how big the spoiler
- 4:18warning is. Yeah.
- 4:19So go watch it, you've been warned.
- 4:22Oh my gosh. What if we didn't spoil it and a
- 4:24TV a showed up and actually like pruned us.
- 4:28Oh my gosh. And then Turn it Universe cells.
- 4:31Actually did the like spoilers, yeah, something like that.
- 4:37We like that, I'll be honest. That's what finer point of the
- 4:42show that I did not understand how it was one time line.
- 4:46But when they prune somebody, I don't understand how all those
- 4:49different Loki's came into being with there being a singular
- 4:52timeline, but I do know I loved it.
- 4:55That's all I know. Yeah, you know, like that me
- 4:58with the character he was like, Cork board and the red lines all
- 5:01over the board. That was like me.
- 5:03This entire time. Trying to figure out what the
- 5:06hell's going on. I still loved it.
- 5:09Yeah, you haven't because like, at the end even I feel like I'm
- 5:13not explaining it. Lets you enjoy it.
- 5:15Which I very much appreciated. Yes.
- 5:18Yes. Totally 100%.
- 5:20So let's go behind the Wardrobe. The series Creator was Michael
- 5:25Waldron costume designer. Was Christine Wada.
- 5:29And yeah, she's been in costume for a long time, but her
- 5:36costume, her role as a costume designer has been, like, kind of
- 5:40all over the place. This was really her first, like
- 5:43sci-fi film her notable work is bridesmaids pixels, which is a
- 5:50fun movie. If you've never not seen it I
- 5:52was like, actually surprised how much I like to that anyway, I
- 5:58digress. Zombieland double tap so I'm
- 6:02sold. It also looks like she has like
- 6:05a little bit of horror work in her in her past all of which I
- 6:12didn't really recognize like I saw it by generally recognized
- 6:17it like The Unborn which I remember seeing trailers for
- 6:20that when it came out and being just absolutely horrified.
- 6:24But that is our costume designer Christine wada and honestly all
- 6:29of our Behind the Wardrobe. Facts are like in that episode.
- 6:32So let's just get into it. She said behind the Wardrobe,
- 6:37the wardrobes closed. You're going to get your facts
- 6:39during the episode. I will pull.
- 6:41I will pull the rat. I'll pull the hangers out of the
- 6:44Wardrobe and show them to you. One by one, she has taken a nose
- 6:48for the Wardrobe and put them into the sacred timeline of this
- 6:51episode. Yes, it's exactly what I've done
- 6:56with that. I think we should take a little
- 6:58break. And when we come back, we're
- 6:59going to dive into this crazy confusing.
- 7:03What's going on? World of Loki, the TV series on
- 7:06Disney Plus Are you ready to get into
- 7:27episodes? 1 & 2.
- 7:29One glorious purpose to the variant of so ready, but I think
- 7:34I'm ready. You are ready.
- 7:36Will no matter what? I think I'm on a sacred
- 7:39timeline. That's so whether I'm ready, or
- 7:41not, it's not up to me, it's up to the sacred timeline.
- 7:44We are on the most sacred timeline, Spencer.
- 7:47Ours is that's what we think until we mess something up.
- 7:51And then the TV shows up in my bedroom kidnaps, me and prunes
- 7:56me Cookie. Our beautiful Loki has escaped
- 8:03from The Avengers and landed in Mongolia in his classic green
- 8:10gold, black Loki armor. He's doing his whole shtick,
- 8:16where he wants to To be leader of the world.
- 8:18But then he's really super weird.
- 8:20Random people come in and are like you're in violation of the
- 8:23timeline. He's like I have no idea what
- 8:24you're talking about and they take him to the TV.
- 8:27Hey, and he's like, I don't I'm a God.
- 8:30What's going on there? Like sign, this, we're going to
- 8:34just vaporize your clothes. Are you a robot?
- 8:38Is this everything you've ever said, is this everything you
- 8:41ever said to your knowledge? Are you a robot?
- 8:45Yes. Or no.
- 8:47I might have been my favorite line is.
- 8:48He's like, what if I don't? What if I, what if I am?
- 8:50And I don't know and they're like, oh, you're just going to
- 8:52be vaporized to death and that'll be that so funny.
- 8:57It was such a fun intro. It was nice seeing like the
- 9:00vengers to and old Loki and like that cool armor that I've Loved
- 9:05forever. Loki's always had like the
- 9:07coolest armor debatably. No, not debatably.
- 9:10He has the coolest armor. I'm not, it's not up for debate.
- 9:13Yes, not for the debate debate, he has the coolest armor.
- 9:17Her and it just gets like zaft right off him, I know monsters.
- 9:23And then he just falls into his TV, a jumpsuit and the what was
- 9:27that? The looping collar.
- 9:29What was that called? I don't know, I just thought it
- 9:31was that mean TV. A caller didn't know, it had a
- 9:34name. It has a name.
- 9:35I don't remember what it is, but I love how it's like, yes, our,
- 9:39it's are low key, and then it's just like, why is low-key and a
- 9:42jumpsuit? It's a nice jumpsuit though.
- 9:46I mean, like, The lettering on. It looks new.
- 9:49Freshly printed some clean that little jumpsuit.
- 9:53I'm into it. I know like he pulls the
- 9:55jumpsuit off. I like clearly like orange is
- 9:59the tva's color. So there's just like, TV a on
- 10:02the front and it's like, it's just so like, it's so basic and
- 10:06mundane though. So, like on him, you're just
- 10:08like, what is happening. Yeah, it's just it's so
- 10:12frustrating though. These first scenes, because
- 10:14you're like, all of a sudden, you're rooting for a low-key,
- 10:16like, he doesn't know. No, it's going on and I don't
- 10:18know what's going on. Like please don't prune him,
- 10:21please don't hurt him. We're all very confused.
- 10:24I like his little blue collar but the people, the TVA just
- 10:29don't care. They just don't care about Loki.
- 10:31They don't care. You're in violation of the
- 10:33secret timeline. He's like, I don't know what
- 10:35that is. I must say the TVA their souls
- 10:39because they really do not explain anything to anybody, and
- 10:42they're really upset at all the variants.
- 10:45And the variants are like, what the Do which this is a part that
- 10:49confuses me. Okay, I'm just gonna bring us
- 10:53out of this a little bit because we've all seen Avengers and game
- 10:56so and they did explain this do but still bothers me because the
- 11:01vendors were time travelling to get you know the Affinity stones
- 11:06and endgame and that's how we see low key again and look even
- 11:10says like the vengers are two criminals.
- 11:12They were time travelling to stop me from becoming, you know,
- 11:15to stop me from me. Eventually winning over, you
- 11:18know, my battle for Earth and they said well, that's supposed
- 11:21to happen and it just is so mind-blowing to me.
- 11:24I'm like so who is deciding what is supposed to happen and what
- 11:28isn't supposed to happen, because how, how did this
- 11:31happen? I don't know.
- 11:32I'm confusing myself. Talking about it.
- 11:35It's not, the major is being crazy and alone.
- 11:38Who decides what happened? It's not fair, but I guess we're
- 11:42jumping ahead and we are jumping way ahead.
- 11:46We could talk about the TVA because although they are
- 11:49strange, they are kind of Snappy dressers they are and it's like
- 11:53you got the hunters which are the ones that like go out and
- 11:56like get the variance and then it's just like, super corporate.
- 12:01Yeah. Agent Mobius.
- 12:04And then Ramona runs flyer. She's a judge.
- 12:07She's kind of in charge. It's just like the most
- 12:12mid-century corporate you could get.
- 12:15It's so funny. Almost feels like Like to me has
- 12:17like a little bit of a 70s influence to it.
- 12:20Also. Yeah, well in an interview with
- 12:22collider Christine said, the influence was Mad Men, kind of
- 12:28like taking it from that place and just kind of like twisting
- 12:33it around a little bit. She said, they kind of, they
- 12:35also went to like, you know, thinking about police station
- 12:38and the DMV as inspiration for like, how the TV works
- 12:44structurally and she's like from there.
- 12:47Like I took kind of like those stereotypes and what you would
- 12:50typically, think of for like, you know, 1960s 1970s DMV and
- 12:56just like Twisted it a little bit to, like, make it feel real,
- 13:02but also like that little sci-fi, like, things aren't
- 13:05quite right. So, especially with run Slayer,
- 13:10they talked about her costume a lot because she's definitely the
- 13:16one in charge. She's always in charge and her
- 13:19and the actress had a lot of like back and forth about like,
- 13:22well, what does it mean for her to be wearing like a skirt or
- 13:25dress verse wearing the pants? And they kind of like came to
- 13:30this conclusion that. Like they wanted her to be
- 13:33powerful with a flare of femininity.
- 13:36There were like we don't have to put her in a pantsuit for her to
- 13:39project. The kind of power that she holds
- 13:42at this place which is why she has the like the pan and the
- 13:45color top. But Has this really sick long
- 13:49like Overcoat that goes down? And almost looks like a little
- 13:52dress. Yeah, I love that costume.
- 13:54It's really cool and I love when she has the sash over it too
- 13:57with that golden orange on it, just all the colors work so
- 14:01beautifully on her. Yeah.
- 14:02The colors are great and it like one of the things with like the
- 14:08the color she was like, you know, Brown and like yellow,
- 14:11like they're not really like sci-fi ye colors.
- 14:14She is like it usually doesn't look like that.
- 14:17She's like I'd also like lens to the mystery of the TVA because
- 14:19this is a super like sci-fi situation.
- 14:24Its marvels, of course, it's like sci-fi fantasy superheroes,
- 14:27but she's like, but with this, like very drab color palette
- 14:31that brings in the mystery of it all, because it's like no one
- 14:35knows what's going on. Yeah, that's also something that
- 14:38is weird too because it's like the TVA stands outside of time,
- 14:43you know, outside of this timeline looking in.
- 14:46So they could They've seen, you know, the entire length of
- 14:50existence. So, why are they choosing to
- 14:52dress like a 60s 70s DMV corporate office?
- 14:57Like you mentioned? It's so mysterious.
- 14:59And uh, yeah, you could do anything.
- 15:03They literally could do anything.
- 15:05They've been to Asgard, they've been sent her straight, been to
- 15:08all these weird Realms of planets but they choose this
- 15:12look. It's very interesting, very
- 15:14mysterious, it is very mysterious.
- 15:17It's even more. Mysterious is what the hunters
- 15:19do. They're just around here, like
- 15:23pulling people out of their lives and charging them with
- 15:26crimes. They don't understand.
- 15:29So particularly we have Sasha Lane is Hunter, C20, that's
- 15:34another thing. I didn't realize till I was like
- 15:36searching everything. I was like, oh, the hunters
- 15:38don't have names. And then mean the Saku as Hunter
- 15:43be 15. They both just looks so To ask
- 15:47them, these costumes. All right, I love it.
- 15:51See, it's weird. Like, like we're just talking
- 15:53about Mobius and the judge having that like very drab, kind
- 15:57of 70s DMV looks. But then the hunters have like
- 16:00really like cool almost kind of very futuristic armor which
- 16:05looks really badass. It's like futuristic SWAT team.
- 16:09Yeah because they come in, they like fix the situation and they
- 16:14like get right out of there. I love of the Lovecraft country
- 16:18where Union we see in this show. By the way, with would meme
- 16:21isaku who we just talked about Ruby from Lovecraft country.
- 16:25I know get Jonathan Majors a little later on.
- 16:28I bet you the casting director is watching Lovecraft country
- 16:31and was like mmmm you know this is it I want these people and
- 16:36her taking them but these costumes are actually super
- 16:41interesting in an interview with Insider.
- 16:44She said I'm not sure that anybody picked up.
- 16:47The pressure off our sort of Harley Quinn pattern that I did
- 16:51on the Minutemen. So I was not sure what she was
- 16:55talking about. So their costumes look entirely
- 16:59black but they're actually like a combination of black and brown
- 17:03and they use the Harley Quinn diamond pattern on the costumes
- 17:08to kind of like interchange those so because she wanted it
- 17:13to have this kind of like them to have this kind of like not
- 17:15quite there. They're kind of fading in and
- 17:19out. Look.
- 17:20So she took the Harley Quinn pattern and I had forgotten
- 17:24about MC Asher and like his optical illusion art and it
- 17:30really reflects that because like they are very strange they
- 17:35like come in and out of time and like it doesn't make sense like
- 17:39it's not really like supposed to happen.
- 17:42But there they are doing it. And I love how she visually put
- 17:45that into the costume. Wow, that's crazy.
- 17:48I had no idea. I'm looking at these pictures.
- 17:51They're showing me and I'm just over here Leo.
- 17:53Well, I, yeah, that's really brilliant.
- 17:56Actually, yeah, because she says using the Harlequin pattern, I'm
- 17:59like, honey, this is Marvel not d.c., why are we bringing Harley
- 18:03Quinn into? So I had to like, look up real
- 18:06quick and I was like, I didn't realize Harley Quinn's were like
- 18:10clowns from the 16th century in Italy.
- 18:13Mmm. And like the diamonds come from
- 18:15them using like scraps. A fabric to make their clothes
- 18:19to make their costumes and then, like MC Escher.
- 18:22It's like you see his work all over the place.
- 18:26He was known for like, his illusion are and like how
- 18:30apparently mathmatics were like, super important how he created
- 18:34these, and it was just like you look at it and it looks normal.
- 18:39But then you keep looking at it and it gets like more confusing
- 18:43and more impossible. And it's like that's kind of
- 18:46like the TV You look at it and you're like, oh strange, but
- 18:49okay, and then you keep looking and just gets weirder and
- 18:52weirder and weirder you didn't tell me there was gonna be math
- 18:55involved in this episode apparently math.
- 18:58People really liked m.c. Escher but he was like I'm not
- 19:01I'm not a mathematician. Oh wow these are all interesting
- 19:06behind the words effects. See, just implanted them into
- 19:09the timeline right in there before the TVA sweeps me away.
- 19:14Before I move on, can we just talk about?
- 19:17Mobius real quick because he was such a cool guy.
- 19:20I have always been a little crunchable on Owen Wilson.
- 19:25I'm like, do I like him? Do I not like him?
- 19:27I don't know. But then he came back for
- 19:30low-key and I like him. He's a cool guy.
- 19:33And he played Mobius. So well, I fell in love with
- 19:36him. It was great.
- 19:37I love Owen Wilson, and he's so good because you always see him
- 19:42in comedies, I'm like, oh, he's the cowboy in you.
- 19:47No Night at the Museum. He's he's the Suave young
- 19:52handsome, kind stupid model, and Zoolander like.
- 19:59And I'm like this is like a very serious role that he does like
- 20:05put a little levity into and I like I see Marvel doing this
- 20:09more and more. They're not getting like you
- 20:11know classic like dramatic actors that we see like you know
- 20:15that we see in like Like dramas or just like procedurals or
- 20:19whatever, they're getting these Comedians and getting them to do
- 20:23very like serious and sometimes dark rolls, but because they
- 20:29have that like natural comedic nature to them, they like put
- 20:33it, they inject like a little bit of fun into it and be a
- 20:36little bit of mystery because it's like, oh, ain't this person
- 20:39supposed to be scary? But how am, I, how am I supposed
- 20:43to feel about them? Because you want to like them
- 20:45but you're like, that's a bad. That's so true.
- 20:48If I Kathryn Hahn, as Agatha and Wanda Vision, Evan Peters who
- 20:52played Quicksilver, and then we had and Julia Louis-Dreyfus
- 20:58showing up in Black Widow, and that's a really good point.
- 21:01I love how Marvel's really diversifying, its casting my
- 21:04fault, he's actors and actresses that.
- 21:07You wouldn't quite imagine in a Marvel, a typical Marvel movie
- 21:11or show. So I'm really excited for the
- 21:13future of the MCU specially after these past.
- 21:16Three. V shows, we just watch.
- 21:18I know, it's just getting more interesting and more complex,
- 21:22and I love it. I also loved when Mobius is
- 21:27taking Loki through a little tour of his life.
- 21:31The d.b. Cooper.
- 21:33See? That was so crazy.
- 21:37Oh my gosh, I love this because like I'm a huge mystery and True
- 21:41Crime fan and like d.b. Cooper is like every TV series.
- 21:47Every podcast does an episode about d.b.
- 21:50Cooper. A unidentified man who hijacked
- 21:55a Boeing 727 on November 24, 1971, he got 200,000 dollars
- 22:03before jumping out of the plane. With a parachute, they have
- 22:08found a lot of the money he took because they marked all the
- 22:13bills, but after 45 year long investigation.
- 22:16Ocean FBI was like, we don't know, that's so crazy.
- 22:20I have to admit, before I saw Loki, the first time, I didn't
- 22:24know who d.b. Cooper was, no, but it's like,
- 22:28I've had so much fun learning about it just from this little
- 22:31scene and Loki and now I want to dive into all these podcasts and
- 22:34TV shows that you're talking about.
- 22:37I know it's so much fun and I love how they're like of course
- 22:41they never found d.b. Cooper.
- 22:42He was low key and Heimdall just like took them back to ask.
- 22:47Literally just jumped out the plane and disappeared.
- 22:49Yeah, that's kind of brilliant actually did he didn't hurt
- 22:54anyone or anything. He just like he just freaked out
- 22:56some Airline hostesses God. But apparently he was like very
- 23:01nice to them. Here's just like, hey, I have a
- 23:04bomb and you're going to give me money and parachutes.
- 23:07Oh wow. Did the plane crash I'm
- 23:09guessing? No, he jumped out with a
- 23:11parachute. Well, how did it land?
- 23:14Oh yeah, the pilots were still on there.
- 23:17It was actually okay super common between like I think like
- 23:20the 50's and 750s and 50s through like the 70s.
- 23:25I think planes Got Hijacked, all the spring outfit.
- 23:31I like people wanting money or like, wanting to go somewhere
- 23:36specific and it was just easier for the airlines to paint the
- 23:39balls, terrible. Hmm. 200,000 isn't that much do
- 23:42nowadays. They found a lot of it.
- 23:45Like in the forest though. So so it was just a crazy
- 23:49afternoon then or he died when he jumped out of the airplane
- 23:53and just nobody's found his body.
- 23:57Okay. Anyway anyway it's Tom
- 24:01Hiddleston looks creepily like the the sketch done of him which
- 24:07I never realized. Oh my gosh, it's kind of like
- 24:11very, very close and uncanny. It's a very close and uncanny
- 24:16and And I just, I love the Suave Loki.
- 24:19I also love, I love seeing like old-timey flight attendants
- 24:23because their outfits are always so cute and I love their
- 24:28stewardesses had that like little hat, which she's kind of
- 24:31just like exaggerated and then kind of like red was like a big
- 24:35color of. There's most of their hostesses
- 24:37were read and then just kind. She kind of like melted like
- 24:42just kind of like what you would think of as like a classic like
- 24:45Airline hostess at the time with They're actually uniforms.
- 24:48So I thought that was really cool, that's so fun.
- 24:51I do also love like vintage Airline Hostess costumes
- 24:56uniform, so this was a lot of fun, a little bit of period in
- 24:59this sci-fi fantasy with no timeline.
- 25:03No sense of Time. TV show were watching,
- 25:06definitely, and we gotta talk about the Ren Faire for a second
- 25:10because I loved this those so fun.
- 25:14I have never been to a Ren Faire and it Kills me.
- 25:17Okay. You just have to come visit me
- 25:19because there's like, a Ren Faire, like, really close to
- 25:22where I live. It looks so fun.
- 25:25I mean, I I so badly want to live in one of these time
- 25:28periods. I just want to be like a
- 25:31medieval Knight or a peasant who wears this type of clothes so
- 25:36badly. I know, I didn't see her talk
- 25:40about any of this. I'm like, either a, they just
- 25:43had a lot of fun dressing background extras that day, or
- 25:46they put out, Casting call which they'll do this.
- 25:49They'll put out a casting call and be like hey do you own
- 25:53Medieval costumes? Can you take a picture and send
- 25:57it as part of your application? And then they'll be like, okay,
- 26:01cool. Come to set and that.
- 26:03Yeah, that's so fun. It's also funny that you see all
- 26:06the characters walking around with like red Solo cups to
- 26:11because I first when we got here, I was like, oh my gosh, is
- 26:14you know, what time period, did they jump to?
- 26:17I saw the red Solo cups and I was like, oh my gosh.
- 26:19This is a Ren Faire here, then it's like Wisconsin in the 1980s
- 26:23or something. Yeah, so fun.
- 26:27I love the like the bar maid and she's like, oh, you guys aren't
- 26:31in costume. They just ignore her.
- 26:33Some of us need this. That is V whenever I've been at
- 26:38like cosplay convention with like the protesters outside.
- 26:42I'm like some of us meet this, just go home.
- 26:47Oh my gosh, that's so funny. You're gonna have to post some
- 26:50of your cosplay on the art of costume pod Instagram.
- 26:53At some point, I probably should.
- 26:55Yeah. If it's if it ever relates to a
- 26:59movie we do I will definitely do that.
- 27:01Yeah, that would be cool. But yeah, we imagined, I wonder
- 27:07if these are extras. If she had to do to costuming,
- 27:09either way it came out, brilliantly it came out
- 27:12brilliantly, or even like I'm sure if they contacted like, A
- 27:17Renaissance Fair, they probably could have just got like,
- 27:19because all the employees of those Renaissance Fairs like
- 27:23have costumes that they have to wear to work.
- 27:26So it could just be all employees of a Renaissance.
- 27:30So let's talk about TV, a low-key, because episode 2 is
- 27:34where he gets pretty much his costume for the entire rest of
- 27:39the series. Yeah, with just like a couple
- 27:42exceptions and I think he just looked So Dapper, I love this
- 27:50shirt. They weren't sure they were
- 27:52going to go with this shirt at first because both Tom
- 27:56Hiddleston and Christine. They were like they were afraid.
- 27:59It was going to be too corny, but as soon as he put it on
- 28:03there, like, oh no, this is, this is what we're going with.
- 28:07And she took inspiration from Japanese pattern makers and the
- 28:12way they do, kind of like origami construction with their
- 28:15clothing. NG with like you know that fold
- 28:18she has on the top that's basically just like a big
- 28:20collar. She took inspiration from that
- 28:23as just one of those ways to just kind of like twist
- 28:26something that should look very normal and just twist it just to
- 28:29make it a little like cooler little more sci-fi but also a
- 28:32little more like, oh wait, what was that?
- 28:34What's going on? So obviously he also does a lot
- 28:37of stunts in this. He had 14 shirts and 15 pairs of
- 28:44pants and his So those pieces were made of char skin fabric,
- 28:50which is just like a no stretch, suiting fabric so she's actually
- 28:55like, she was surprised, they didn't have to make more of them
- 28:59that they got through. Which I'm like that's actually a
- 29:02lot of clothes but apparently he was like ripping them all the
- 29:05time. Yeah, that's quite the
- 29:07achievement actually. Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't
- 29:12use more but she wanted to use the shark skin because it
- 29:16reflects X 2 tones. So the tones and his for the
- 29:20pants were green and brown. So it's like the green of loci
- 29:25and then that brown of the TVA, the brown like pulls through the
- 29:30most, but it does have. Like in some scenes, you can see
- 29:34that glimmer of the green depending on like the lighting
- 29:37and stuff. So she really put a lot of
- 29:39thought into what ended up being like a very simple looking
- 29:43outfit. There's like a lot of thought
- 29:44there and also people are like Like, why doesn't he put the
- 29:48armor back on like, especially once he's out of the tvi, he
- 29:51could be wearing whatever he wants.
- 29:53And she says, they wanted to strip him of the armor because
- 29:56this was about like an emotional Journey for him and like you
- 30:01wanted to see his internal Journey, so they just were like,
- 30:04we just stripped the Armour, like off, right away to better.
- 30:09See that Journey reflected in a more simple costume.
- 30:14I love that choice. I think that's really
- 30:16interesting. Sing and, you know, like we
- 30:17mentioned earlier, look, he's kind of like a detective and
- 30:21this show, he's not like a low-key the warrior with his
- 30:24armor and he didn't really, he didn't really need armor so
- 30:28much. Because I mean, it's not like he
- 30:30was fighting armies as more just like this journey that he's on.
- 30:34So I think the detective outfit was actually really great
- 30:37choice. And and I'm looking at that
- 30:39shirt at Loki War. I don't realize that like, the
- 30:43colors apart of the shirt. Yeah.
- 30:45Isn't that cool? And I'm like blown away.
- 30:48That's so cool. I don't know how I missed this.
- 30:50Every time I knew I liked the shirt.
- 30:52I was like, whoo, I love that. Like Raglan seem, you know,
- 30:56across his chest. I thought that was so cool but I
- 30:59didn't realize like the caller is a part of that.
- 31:01Seem, that is such a cool shirt. I'm in love with it.
- 31:05This is so cool, right? I would like, if someone made
- 31:08that I would buy it for myself, I don't think it's corny, AA.
- 31:12I think that that seemed feels very futuristic to me.
- 31:15So, this to me That reads sci-fi saying I'm like it's a very DMV
- 31:21sci-fi future sci-fi, nonetheless and interview with
- 31:28collider. She was asked like, you know,
- 31:29Mobius and Loki. They look very similar
- 31:33throughout the whole thing. She said, the whole looking
- 31:36itself is kind of like film Noir.
- 31:39So yeah, the men are going to look kind of similar but she
- 31:44said, I think it speaks more to the hole.
- 31:46TBA and trying to strip people away from their Origins.
- 31:51It's trying to take the personality of it.
- 31:54So it's very much like yeah, it they all look the same because
- 31:58the TVA has taken away who they are.
- 32:01That's a great point because as we learn they are all variants.
- 32:06Literally you're a variant, you're a variant where all
- 32:09variants all variants and we all just have to deal with it.
- 32:12What if we're variants? What if the real spencer is
- 32:15like, actually A out there with like, I don't know, maybe he's a
- 32:19film star or a TV star, and I'm like, the podcast variant.
- 32:24I would be very disappointed. If there are better better
- 32:29variants of us, uh, or maybe I'm like, I'm like the weird nerdy
- 32:35very antenna. Maybe there's like, a super hot
- 32:38like Brad Pitt type. Spencer variant out there.
- 32:41That's like the real spencer Spencer.
- 32:43You the real spencer? Yeah.
- 32:45That's actually kind of Good Feeling, maybe there is like a
- 32:48good Spencer. They're just like killing it day
- 32:50to day. You go.
- 32:53Spencer, I know you're out there.
- 32:55You know, who else is on the go Sylvie, one of the Loki's, one
- 33:01of the Loki's, and episode 3, we finally figure out what this
- 33:05whole mess is about. I love this episode there after
- 33:08the female low-key Varian and she's a badass.
- 33:13Yeah, I love this episode. Oh, I love her.
- 33:16Sylvie. I'm so glad that she's going to
- 33:19be part of the MCU now because she's a badass.
- 33:21Like you said, loved her. She's a badass in an interview
- 33:25with Looper wada, said, because the whole time was just trying
- 33:29to give her a history of feeling that she was this Mad.
- 33:32Max basically a warrior out there just with the battle scars
- 33:37and wounds of jumping through time and fighting this fight.
- 33:40And I'm like, yes, cuz she was asked like, why is the one horn
- 33:45broken off? And she's like, She's a warrior.
- 33:48She's been fighting. She doesn't have time to like,
- 33:50go fix her little, her little Crown.
- 33:54Yeah. She's been fighting for a long
- 33:56time. That's really sad.
- 33:57And she can't stay in one place for too long but I loved her
- 34:00costume was badass and the actress, Sophia the Martino love
- 34:05her so good. I love how its kind of
- 34:08translated from like Loki's usual armor but she did take
- 34:12like a lot of Nordic influence and Did try to give her her like
- 34:18own unique. Low-key look, also, a lot of
- 34:22people have speculated that she might be the character
- 34:25enchantress and when she was speaking to Insider she didn't
- 34:29confirm it. But she's like there's an odd
- 34:31there. And you can kind of see in like
- 34:34how her horn Crown like frames her face.
- 34:38You can kind of see it reflected in the enchantress character who
- 34:43I kind of see it. Yeah.
- 34:45Yeah I wouldn't be surprised. I mean she has been confirmed as
- 34:48enchantress but also they haven't say he who remains as
- 34:53king to conquer just yet. I mean it's like we know where
- 34:56it's going but they haven't said it yet so I won't be surprised.
- 35:01I would not be surprised either. Well the Marvel nerd just really
- 35:04jumped out of us. Just now that's it.
- 35:09Nerds about to jump out of me because I had no idea about how
- 35:14awesome the construction Of her costume actually is because at
- 35:20the time of filming Loki, Sophia was a new mother.
- 35:22She was pumping and breastfeeding and Christine, as
- 35:26soon as she had the first fitting, she was like, oh, the
- 35:28costumes, gotta accommodate this.
- 35:30She was like, we can't have, she can't feel uncomfortable and
- 35:33feel like she can't do what she needs to do for her child in
- 35:38this costume. So she actually has two zippers
- 35:41in the base of it to like unzip. So she can feed Do whatever she
- 35:47needs to do and then get back on set and I was like, that's so
- 35:52important like to, you know, just allow women to do what they
- 35:58need to do and recognize that like they can still work and do
- 36:02everything they need to. If they have a kid it's just
- 36:04like it. Give them just a little bit of
- 36:07time and space and you'll have an amazing Kick-Ass actress.
- 36:11Yeah, that's it's brilliant. I remember when this news
- 36:13article, all these news articles are coming out and I just It's
- 36:16love that so much. I think it's really important
- 36:18that as costume designers, you know, we're doing what we can to
- 36:22take care of the actors and actresses, especially like
- 36:25working mothers, and make sure that they're comfortable and
- 36:28set. Because if they're comfortable,
- 36:29they're going to do their best work as well for the show or the
- 36:32film or the music video, whatever.
- 36:35And I just, you know, I don't think it should have to be this
- 36:38crazy thing where, you know, and all of our different creative
- 36:41Fields we're doing the best we can to like take care of one
- 36:44another as human being. So I That this is really awesome
- 36:47that the costume designer and Sophia got together.
- 36:50We're like, how can we make this work for each other?
- 36:52You know, how can I give you a Kick Ass costume while making
- 36:56sure that you're comfortable doing, what you can to take care
- 36:59of your child? Because that's what's most
- 37:00important to you. So I love that.
- 37:03It's brilliant. Yeah, I love it.
- 37:05It's a nice turn around, especially because like, it's
- 37:08not that long ago were like being an actress and like having
- 37:11a child, it was like you either had to like stop working or just
- 37:16like Like hide that my gosh. But yeah, Sylvie's costume was
- 37:24just bad ass, I love it, the like leather work on it.
- 37:27I do see the Nordic influence, like you mentioned.
- 37:30Her crowns cool. Because it's like a smaller more
- 37:33minimalist version of Loki's. Big like super dramatic
- 37:37theatrical Crown. He used to wear.
- 37:39I love her Hood with like the subtle green colors to it.
- 37:43I think it's probably my favorite costume of the entire
- 37:46show for Sure. But that's before we talk about
- 37:48Gator, Loki, because he actually wears my favorite costume, but
- 37:52we'll get there. You should just be Gator loci
- 37:54for Halloween, you know, I've considered it.
- 37:56You know, I've considered it anyway.
- 38:00Let's get into Le mantis a little bit more.
- 38:04I Loved These guard. They're so cool.
- 38:07He's guards looked so cool. And I was like I love that.
- 38:11They're all wearing. Just like these like sweater
- 38:14vest uniform. It's so Like they're supposed to
- 38:17look badass and scary but also like kind of Posh a little
- 38:21fashionable to and they look, you know their little warm and
- 38:24probably cozy I'm into this. Maybe we should start making
- 38:27things out of sweaters. So you know we're still scary
- 38:30but also cozy I'm into this too and it's like it's like they're
- 38:34these like sweaters in like this like bright blue color.
- 38:39But then like the way the mask just like completely blocks out
- 38:44their face and comes to like the Hip and it's like pointy, it's
- 38:48like, oh, that is scary. It's like you put the, you put
- 38:51the helmet up and it's like, oh, it's a person in like a sweater,
- 38:55you put it down, it's a scary. It reminded me, a little bit of
- 38:59The Hunger Games like guard costumes from a few of The
- 39:02Hunger Games movies. But also like this has a little
- 39:05bit of like, a retro sci-fi. Feel to it at the same time with
- 39:10like when the helmet lifts up like, you said, like it's almost
- 39:13like when it helmets down there scary with the Point.
- 39:16But they lift up the helmet and it's like, oh, it's like a bike
- 39:19helmet, it looks kind of silly. Honestly, if you put these in
- 39:24like some sort of like Lemay or other like metallic fabric, it
- 39:29would look like something out of Doctor.
- 39:30Who from like the 1960s? Yeah, for sure.
- 39:36So, funny to me a scene that I wanted to talk about the, I
- 39:41absolutely loved was from episode 3, as well because in
- 39:46the VA, they mentioned that Loki's sex is gender fluid,
- 39:51which I thought was super awesome to see represent in the
- 39:55MCU is a subtle light note that they put in there.
- 39:59But, you know, this is kind of been known throughout the Marvel
- 40:02Comics World already. And then also in this scene,
- 40:05that low-key kind of reveals that he's bisexual, which I
- 40:09thought was awesome, too, because we've always kind of
- 40:12thought this, but it was nice to hear it out loud.
- 40:15And like a big Scale TV format, you know, some people were kind
- 40:19of upset, they're like oh they did this and just like some
- 40:22random episode of a TV show but I feel like these TV shows are
- 40:26like the future of the MCU. So I saw this as a big deal.
- 40:30I think so too. Especially because I feel like
- 40:33TV is kind of replacing films as like, the dominant artistic
- 40:38format. So I feel like it makes a bigger
- 40:42impact because it's going to reach more people because more
- 40:45people have access to television And then the ability to go to a
- 40:48movie theater and then also it was very natural to the story.
- 40:53They weren't like making a big deal out of it.
- 40:55It's just like we are confirming what's kind of already known and
- 41:00it's like they're having a conversation about themselves.
- 41:02They're opening up and like kind of being vulnerable with each
- 41:05other and he's like, yeah. I sleep with men and women.
- 41:10How about you? I'm lucky, like, what did you
- 41:13expect? You know, like the god of
- 41:15Mischief like Right? I do what I want.
- 41:19I thought was beautiful sorry, just totally punched my mic.
- 41:22I'm just very passionate I guess it'd break her Daniels years.
- 41:27I just thought was awesome because everyone loves Loki like
- 41:31no matter who you talk to. So it was just really awesome
- 41:34for loci that come out in this way in a subtle beautiful way
- 41:38and just like this entire episode to just like, I'm so in
- 41:42love with the colors too. And the music and it just felt
- 41:46like Such a dream episode even though, like, literally the
- 41:49world's cramp crumbling around them.
- 41:51It still is so beautiful. It was like one big old dream
- 41:55painting so that mixed with Loki's Revelation, just loved it
- 42:00so much. I know this, this was a really
- 42:02great episode and it's like the perfect little like Tipping
- 42:05Point to the rest of the series. Yes, I love though, this action
- 42:10sequence at the end of episode 3 when the world really literally
- 42:15quite Falls apart and suddenly it's like this is where he
- 42:19ripped all those pants. Don't leave.
- 42:22Suddenly It's like oh we gotta get out of here.
- 42:24Thanks are blowing up. We get like this.
- 42:26Awesome fighting sequence were low-key and Sylvie.
- 42:29Get the like do their thing, which I love the like, low-key
- 42:32fighting style with like these daggers that just appear that
- 42:36they're able to pull out with magic.
- 42:38And its it was just so much fun. Also, this is when I really saw
- 42:43Loki's shirt for the first time when he was Looking through
- 42:46these streets and that glowed upon like that Raglan seam.
- 42:50And I was like, ooh, that's a nice shirt.
- 42:52I love that shirt. Yeah, this is a beautiful,
- 42:58beautiful visuals, beautiful story.
- 43:01It's a horrible scene of a planet being broken apart but it
- 43:06really gets sketchy in the heart.
- 43:08It was so heartwarming watching this planet get absolutely
- 43:11obliterated but the personal developments Between Loki and
- 43:18Sophie were really beautiful. I feel I feel like I need a
- 43:25little break. I feel like I need to get my
- 43:26emotions in check for the rest of them.
- 43:29Yeah. Not because of the world falling
- 43:31apart but because of Loki's personal development, let's take
- 43:35a little break. Okay, and we are back,
- 43:57Elizabeth, are you ready to break down the rest of Loki?
- 44:01Oh, I'm ready for the Nexus event.
- 44:04All right, so we start episode 4 and we get to see a young
- 44:08Sylvie, just living her life on Asgard.
- 44:11And I love this scene, mostly because the actress who plays
- 44:16Young Will be is Kaylee Fleming. Which we all know I am a huge
- 44:22fan of The Walking Dead. Yeah, I might be one of the last
- 44:26remaining fans of The Walking Dead.
- 44:28Just because it's been on for so long.
- 44:30Is that over yet? Not yet.
- 44:32We're moving into the last season.
- 44:34It's a really good and anyone who will listen to me.
- 44:38I will tell you why you need to keep watching Walking Dead
- 44:40because it gets better anyways. Rick Grimes daughter in the show
- 44:45Judith Grimes, the Actress is Kaylee Fleming.
- 44:48So this was one of her new roles and Loki and I thought she did a
- 44:51great job. She's such a kick-ass actress
- 44:55this young girl, she's brilliant.
- 44:57I must say I do love her in both The Walking Dead and as young
- 45:01Sylvie. She's so sweet and innocent
- 45:04which they were like hmm you can't be bringing.
- 45:07Peace between all people solely as a low-key.
- 45:10So we're going to take you out of time line.
- 45:12Now she was so cute and inside our points out, That like one of
- 45:17the cute little details that, like, you don't notice at all,
- 45:21is that the writing on her costume?
- 45:25When she's younger, is the same that's on her sword later on,
- 45:30which I'm like, that's such a cool little detail.
- 45:32That's a cool note and young Sylvie's costume was brilliant.
- 45:37She looked really good and I love the detail on this costume.
- 45:41I was like, oh, but is just like a little girl Loki.
- 45:44Aw, so cute. So does that I mean she was a
- 45:47frost giant also, like does this work for all the variants?
- 45:52Probably she says she knows she was a adopted interesting.
- 45:57Anyways anyway another fun little surprise in this episode
- 46:02is Jamie. Alexander is back as lady Sif.
- 46:06Oh this is so fun II love this. I think this is her costume from
- 46:12what was the last movie. She was in Thor dark World, one
- 46:16of the Thor's But not Ragnarok and it was just, it was so nice
- 46:20to see her because I know, she's like, willing to come back to
- 46:23the role whenever and I'm like, she's like such an underused
- 46:27badass character. Like I wish they would just use
- 46:30her, I know, I wish she would come back in some way for the
- 46:34new because we never saw her die or anything.
- 46:37I guess, it's just us only one that didn't die of his friends,
- 46:41I guess. It's just assumed that she was
- 46:44on Asgard when Ragnarok has Happen, maybe she wasn't there.
- 46:48I don't know. I think it's assumed that she
- 46:51was off world when it happens. Hopefully, because that gives us
- 46:55more. Hope that maybe she'll show up
- 46:56in the new Thor, maybe eyebrows eyebrows.
- 47:00But yes she played such a badass and I love seeing her costume
- 47:04again that scene where she's just continuously keeps walking
- 47:08into a room and punching Loki and kicking him in the groin.
- 47:12I mean, that's some brilliant writing, right there.
- 47:15Yeah, it really was. So much fun.
- 47:18This brings us also in these episodes, we got to see the
- 47:22mysterious timekeepers and I have to say, I was so excited to
- 47:25see the timekeepers, like, all this is gonna be so cool.
- 47:29I love like a creepy alien. It gave me like a snow-covered
- 47:33vibes from one of the new Star Wars.
- 47:35So I was really excited but then also really disappointing to
- 47:38find out that they're actually not real and they're just like
- 47:41Chuck E cheese animatronics. I know, I was like, what is
- 47:45weather? Everyone is like, what is
- 47:48happening? I don't know.
- 47:50And I love they just have like they're exactly how you think
- 47:53they would appear with, like, the long robes and their fruit
- 47:55loading. Yeah, that's so cool.
- 47:57I love that like, Liberace Cape, that almost looks like gills or
- 48:02like like it looks like it's part of their body but it's
- 48:04actually just like the robe. That's really cool.
- 48:07Yeah. And then they're just robots.
- 48:09Yeah. Oh man.
- 48:11But it's also fine, though, when I re-watched it for this
- 48:13podcast, and I saw the timekeepers they do, Like
- 48:17certain parts of them that make them feel like animatronics.
- 48:20Like you could barely understand what the bottom two are saying.
- 48:23They're literally just like and I was like that was not English.
- 48:30Yeah. And now it's like no wonder they
- 48:32never leave that room. No one's ever seen them stand up
- 48:36or anything. So just shows how gullible the
- 48:40TVA was at the same time which kind of sucks.
- 48:43Yeah. Well they had their minds white.
- 48:46Yeah. Well It'd be like that.
- 48:48Sometimes that brings us into episode 5 journey into mystery
- 48:52and episode 64. All time always I love to
- 48:57journey into mystery. Oh yeah.
- 48:59I think that's definitely my favorite episode by far.
- 49:02It's so fun. They had about like eight or ten
- 49:06Loki's and they had so they had to make costumes for all of them
- 49:10and then also stunt costumes for all of them because they just
- 49:15all start fighting. So The end of two of those and
- 49:19she was like, it was just Scavenging through like time in
- 49:22history to figure out, like, who was who and like what we're
- 49:26gonna do so much. Prep time must have went into
- 49:28this episode. I know and the Loki's are all
- 49:32like they're full of little Easter eggs like the kind of
- 49:36like tie clip. The president Loki has is
- 49:39inspired by the piece, of engraved like plate armor.
- 49:44He has in the original Thor. A movie.
- 49:47They just like turned it into like a little tie bar.
- 49:50Yeah, that's really interesting. I never even saw that my
- 49:54favorite Loki. Well, my second favorite Loki
- 49:57will get to my favorite Loki. Everybody's favorite Loki.
- 50:00Variant know, my favorite look for you.
- 50:04Okay. I'll just start my favorite.
- 50:06Loki is Gator Loki. He's brilliant, he's cute.
- 50:09He is the moment. He's an icon, he's a legend or
- 50:13she, I don't know, maybe the Gators non-binary.
- 50:16Don't know anything about Gator, Loki, except Gator Loki's a
- 50:19badass? I love Gator, Loki and I would
- 50:22die for Gator, Loki. Let's go with that.
- 50:27My second favorite Gator, Loki is classic Loki.
- 50:30Played by the Richard e-grant. He this was such a, it was such
- 50:35a small part, but it was so good.
- 50:37And they really just like went back to the original character
- 50:42so much so that they're textile Department found.
- 50:46Age fabric, brilliant. Aged it, even they like did some
- 50:52textile are on it. They wanted it to look like oh
- 50:56yes, this is old, but not like run down and it's like it just
- 51:01comes off so perfectly and apparently Richard E Grant was
- 51:04really upset that he didn't get a muscle suit, but they were
- 51:07like here's a cave that it took seven yards of fabric and he was
- 51:11like, okay, I like that yards of fabric for one cave but that's a
- 51:16boy. Really though, I loved him.
- 51:18He did this character. So well, I love the fabric and I
- 51:23love that. And these TV shows Maya's Rubio.
- 51:25And Christine wada, both got to, like, Explorer the Retro vintage
- 51:30e, classic costumes of some of these superheroes with Wanda and
- 51:34vision and now, like the classic Loki.
- 51:37It's not different actor but it's still so fun.
- 51:41His crown is cool. I love like the pointed shape on
- 51:46his collar. Dollar.
- 51:47And then like you said, that Cape was awesome.
- 51:49It really was. I also love like young, like
- 51:53teen Loki who was just hanging out like, yeah, I'm in charge
- 51:59and the like super Nordic Loki. Yeah, that was awesome.
- 52:04It felt very like Vikings type Loki.
- 52:07Yeah. How he had a hammer to.
- 52:09Yeah. Those.
- 52:10So cool. So fun.
- 52:12I loved how they were just imagining all the different ways
- 52:14you could do a low-key, which It does not exist.
- 52:17As we saw with Gator, Loki sitting in his kiddie pool,
- 52:20which that was a great note. I just love Gators.
- 52:23I'll try not to bring up Naked and Afraid again because you
- 52:27know, we talked about that already.
- 52:29Didn't you guys go hold baby gators in?
- 52:32Louisiana. Yeah.
- 52:34Like at the hold a little baby gator.
- 52:36He looked just like that was so fun and I want a pet gator,
- 52:41really bad? I will never come to your home
- 52:44again. If you get a pet gator, What
- 52:47like you would if he's just sitting in like a baby pool.
- 52:50Just like growling. Yeah, that's not something you
- 52:53mess with Spencer. You know, who else?
- 52:57You don't mess with Miss minutes.
- 52:59Miss bennet's scared to Absolute out of me and I last episode,
- 53:04when they're walking through the Citadel, I miss minutes just
- 53:07appeared out of nowhere. I almost jumped all the way off
- 53:09my couch and into the ceiling. I was so scared.
- 53:12I was like so suspicious of mit's.
- 53:15Miss minutes once. You realize she wasn't just like
- 53:18an animated cartoon that she was like a living entity and I was
- 53:22like, she's the timekeeper. She's the time people.
- 53:25She's a timekeeper. Oh she's not the timekeeper not
- 53:30miss minutes. Is played by brilliant voice
- 53:32actress, Tara Strong. And I loved looking into her
- 53:37story because she is one of the most accomplished voice.
- 53:40Actresses of all time, she's done all of our favorite shows.
- 53:44She played Timmy Turner and fairly OddParents she played
- 53:48Bubbles from Powerpuff Girls, Raven from Teen Titans.
- 53:52She played Harley Quinn and some instances of the bat of the
- 53:57Batman video games. She's done it all.
- 53:59I mean, you could go through her IMDb forever, she played
- 54:04characters and Rugrats, she's done it all, and now she's done
- 54:07Miss minutes. She's a badass, I'm obsessed.
- 54:10She's just a total badass and I loved Miss minutes.
- 54:14Like just that like Vintage like it reminded me of the like,
- 54:19let's go to the movies sort of Animation.
- 54:23Yeah, that's so funny. Yes, I know exactly what you
- 54:28mean. But with like a very Southern
- 54:30like sassy woman who's just trying to educate you.
- 54:34It's so perfect. Like I wouldn't mind having my
- 54:36own like Miss minutes that like you know, helped me go through
- 54:40my Google Drive and help me find my files and I know.
- 54:44Yeah, also note to our editor Daniel, she also played a Riku
- 54:48from Final Fantasy. They'll make you happy.
- 54:53Yeah. And Kira from Jack and Dexter
- 54:55but that's just for me, personally, probably.
- 54:58Anyways, Tara Strong. You did a great job as Miss
- 55:01minutes but we will move on the final character.
- 55:05He who remains Jonathan Majors, is in the house.
- 55:09Playing, he who remains? And this was such a fun
- 55:12surprise. When that door opened up, and we
- 55:15saw him sitting there, I was Just like, what?
- 55:18Like hold on. And like, he who remains like,
- 55:23he's just like, he's so tired. He's so bored.
- 55:26He doesn't know how to interact with people.
- 55:28I mean, he's totally like us after quarantine during the
- 55:33pandemic, we just were like, how do we interact with people?
- 55:36I don't know people who don't live in my computer.
- 55:42This was such a fun, surprise. Literally, when I watched
- 55:44low-key, it was right after I finish.
- 55:46Lovecraft country. So I was like, oh my gosh, this
- 55:50is so weird. I just saw a wooden beam isaku
- 55:52and now we have Jonathan Majors. This is brilliant and like he's
- 55:57such a. I can't wait to see what else
- 55:59Jonathan majors does because he's such a good actor because
- 56:03like you don't think about Atticus.
- 56:06When you're watching him play, he who remains and you're not
- 56:09thinking of he who remains, while you're watching him play
- 56:12Atticus, like his range is so good.
- 56:16He Knows what he's doing and I love it and he had such like an
- 56:20interesting character to play because he's like, is the evil.
- 56:23Is he good? Is he just doing his job?
- 56:26I don't know. Now he's really angry.
- 56:28He's chaotic neutral. Yeah, he's like has anger
- 56:32tantrum but then he's also like nice and polite.
- 56:35I don't know what's going on here.
- 56:36Yeah, it's just such a fun character and his costume was
- 56:39super cool. I know I love how it's like he
- 56:43clearly found what he liked a long time ago and just It keeps
- 56:47wearing the same thing, right? I love that and it's like you
- 56:52with the way his robe is. It's like you get like magician
- 56:55Vibes but then he's talking about how he's a scientist and
- 56:58that's how he figured out like everything out.
- 57:01And I'm just like, what is it? Because the stained glass window
- 57:04reminds me of dr. Strange and I don't know what's
- 57:07why? Yeah, it was just so fun and I'm
- 57:11really, really excited to see what else Jonathan majors does
- 57:15with an MCU. Of course, Sylveon Loki have a
- 57:19little bit of a fight with he who remains which leads to a
- 57:23looks like the Multiverse being ripped into a thousand different
- 57:26directions which I believe list paired with Wanda Vision.
- 57:32We're going to see a lot of crazy stuff happens.
- 57:34This probably leads to the new Spider-Man movie to new Doctor
- 57:37Strange movie, will, he who remains to become king to
- 57:40conqueror? Will he become a mortise?
- 57:43There's so many different variations of who we think this
- 57:46character. Might turn out to be based off
- 57:48of the comic books. It's gonna be so fun.
- 57:50I know that he was casted for the new, Ant-Man movie at some
- 57:54point. So, I'm excited.
- 57:56We'll see, I'm so excited. This was such a good series and
- 58:00it I thought, I honestly thought it was going to be another one
- 58:02off series. I'm so excited.
- 58:04They're coming back for a season 2.
- 58:06I know, right, when the Ed end credits came, I was like, please
- 58:10please, please please. And they did say that, it will
- 58:13come you be coming back for season 2 that Fun.
- 58:17I'm just happy that Tom Hiddleston is not done yet.
- 58:19That was my biggest fear. I know.
- 58:22I, you know, I was devastated. When they killed off, Loki in
- 58:26the movies, I was in the movie theaters with you, what's not?
- 58:30Okay with that. So I was really excited to find
- 58:34out. This was happening and I'm
- 58:36excited. I hope Christine wada.
- 58:39Does the second season so we can see what else she has up her
- 58:42sleeve because this was brilliant.
- 58:45Yeah, that's She did such a great job and I am like you
- 58:49said, I'm excited to see. Hopefully she comes back and
- 58:53excited to see, like, where she goes of these characters.
- 58:55Because there are we going into, who knows?
- 58:57We're after this? And because the TVA is going to
- 59:00be all over the place. Now, see the different costume
- 59:03variation, she does for all these characters as they start
- 59:06drifting through this crazy multiverses opened up.
- 59:09That'd be awesome. Christine wada, you're a badass.
- 59:12So we love you. You did a great job.
- 59:14We love you here, if you want. Talk about it.
- 59:17Please let us know. Yeah, we would love to have you
- 59:21on. Yes, actually.
- 59:22Love to have her on. That would be so cool.
- 59:24Look it up. We'll hook it up and wish that
- 59:28that brings us to the end of loci.
- 59:30That was so fun. That was so fun.
- 59:33I it just it's a series that makes me excited to see what
- 59:37else I'm see you will come out with yes and I just love that
- 59:41they were like we're not done yet with.
- 59:43Tom Hiddleston, he's such a great actor and and we should
- 59:47have him as long as he wants to do this.
- 59:49You know, if we have to keep pulling up different loci
- 59:52variants, that's fine with me because he's a great character
- 59:55Loki is and there's so many different layers to him.
- 59:59He's not a bad guy but he's not a good guy.
- 1:00:02He's just low-key and he's yeah, just so fun to watch.
- 1:00:06I love them. I watched it like some interview
- 1:00:09with him once and he was like, you know, I sat in the theater
- 1:00:12is watching Iron Man and thinking like oh wow, I I'll Or
- 1:00:16get a movie like that and then a couple years later, he's like
- 1:00:21I'm playing a low key and then MC you movie.
- 1:00:24And like, he's like this is just the greatest thing ever like, he
- 1:00:26can't believe he has this opportunity and I love it.
- 1:00:29He's so cute. We're having like, a little fan
- 1:00:33moment. He's just so good and every
- 1:00:35movie, he's in especially the MCU.
- 1:00:38I love him in Thor Ragnarok. So funny, even the second Thor
- 1:00:43movie. I love that one a lot.
- 1:00:45It's just he's so Great. Anyways, we could go on and on
- 1:00:50and on about. Okay, well said, I mean so much
