Loki (D+) - June 9, 2021

[Tyrath]

Cuz he isn't Kang

[Krandor]

I just realized,

Spoiler: show

they never once called him Kang

Well, he's not, variants and all

[Zealot]

The biggest problem with MCU shows has been sticking the landing, Loki finally nailed it. Could not have done it better.

[Cail]

ahhh, i thought Kang was the base-name, and everything else was variant names

[Souj]

There’s been 3 other named variants and none have the name Kang either.

[Drai]

I mean, Kang is the title is it not? his original name was Nathaniel Richards in the comics.

[Souj]

I think that’s what who he was eventually retconned into being. MCU is definitely going with Kang being an Alias though, it seems.

[Meph]

Kang was "The Exiled One"

[Xno Kappa]

So just to be clear, Kang the Conquerer - Exiled One is dead. He Who Remains is also dead. Victor Timely is most likely dead too.

So the final boss version has either yet to be introduced, or amongst the variants that showed up in the post credits in AM3, I.e. Pharaoh Rama-Tut and company?

Barring some time traveling shenanigans to bring any of the former back of course.

[Tyrath]

Considering Avengers 5 is called Kang Dynasty, I don't think the MCU's version of Kang the Conqueror is dead.

[Tyrath]

Unrelated, the music in this show was so fucking good. Especially during the scene in the final episode. Goddamn.

[Krandor]

Victor Timely is most likely dead too.

He's alive, Loki went in his place at the end there. Though we didn't see the adult version of him in any of the follow-up bits, just the small scene of him as a kid

He Who Remains could theoretically work his way around death since he had a clear understanding of everything that would happen after getting stabbed at the end of season 1.

[Souj]

There’s assuredly more than one variant that calls himself Kang.

[Zealot]

Immortus, Scarlet Centurion, and Rama-Tut are the big three now but basically every other variant we saw in the gathering at the end of Quantumania was Kang.

[Souj]

I don’t keep up at all, especially with all the scheduling changes, but is there supposed to be another Moon Knight thing? Trying to figure out how they’ll shoehorn more Kang into MCU and Tut seems a good fitting for that.

[Tyrath]

They have not committed to any more Moon Knight

Loki was the first show to get two seasons. Prior to this Marvel didn't want to commit to serial series because they were trying to do a "connected story" deal. Hopefully now they're seeing that really good shows with good writing is what people want.

[Tyrath]

Loki was the first show to get two seasons.

This is I am Groot erasure

[kuronosan]

Aren't those more like shorts though?

[Tyrath]

Are you claiming shorts are shows?

This is shorts erasure.
