But for right now, it's time to get down to business because this was quite an episode and aptly titled Science Fiction. And I think it exists at a very compelling crossroads between both. Let's do this thing. I can rewrite the story. God of stories is born. Yeah, like he said.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Wow, we're going right back to it. Wow. God of stories. Right back to it. It's going to like try again and fail multiple times. Yeah, fail thousands of times. Oh, it could be like a Doctor Strange Dormon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:54 He's coming here to bargain with Kang. Yeah. keep trying until they figure it out. I honestly think he's still under the plan of Kang. If you think about it, he who remains wanted him to rule the TVA and now he's got this power of time more than anything
Starting point is 00:03:09 else, you know? Damn. He's been granted a brand new power, Loki. He's going to oversee all of the timelines as the keeper or as the god of stories. Ultimately, he who remains wins. And then it doesn't factor into any of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. No other proper. Loki's power
Starting point is 00:03:24 is never used again. And the variety He writes another article. About nothing. Sure do look forward to reading that culmination of three years of nothing. You've got to contrive your news from somewhere when no one's allowed to work. If that was a strike during the end game, it'd be like three days before rapping, then they wrote the ending for Tony Stark. Last minute rewrites. And I think Miss Minutes is still serving, he who remains is a big plan.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Yeah, I think she's still in control. Boy, wow. A lot to dissect here. I can only imagine that with the amount of existential. dread and those feelings of loneliness that when you're thinking about, wow, you need people in your life. You need some help. You need some people to talk to. Yeah. And there's good help. Yeah. You need to the best. You know what, guys, before we do the review, I think I need to give a message to the audience. Of course. All right. Can you guys just leave for a second? I'm going to just go. Just
Starting point is 00:04:18 get out of the framper. Let me just do this. Today's episode is sponsored by Better Help. I know that we often joke around here quite a bit on the channel but i wanted to speak a little bit more sincere during this specific sponsor and i'll start off by saying this that you know with any sponsor they usually give like suggested things to consider uh when talking about the sponsor and one of their suggested things it was a question that they had there that went along the lines of like have you ever laid awake with their thoughts racing wishing for a moment of silence and i thought to myself well yeah that's my secret cap I know that feeling way too well and it's in those quiet moments where you're battling your own mind where you are seeking clarity the most and you may
Starting point is 00:05:05 have heard me talk about this on the channel before the better part of a decade now therapy has undoubtedly been one of my main anchors before there was ever the real rejects I was diagnosed with PTSD type 2 bipolar and ADHD so needless to say I need this therapy and through its guidance I've unearthed deeper layers of myself, cultivated richer relationships, and just have a more profound understanding of my emotions. And one of the best parts about it is it's giving me a space where it's free from judgment, where I've found my voice and learned the art of truly listening, not just to others, but also to myself. I've talked a little bit about how this year I've focused a lot more on my physical health and hitting the gym a little bit more often. And in all sincerity, I do view therapy as like the gym for your mental health, a place where you can really nurture your mental well-being.
Starting point is 00:05:55 And it is an experience that has been quite transformative so much of the point that, you know, I would say at least half of the people that you see that come here on the channel are in therapy. As a matter of fact, I know one of them, their therapist is with better help. I often joke that like I've been in therapy since it was underground. Why I joke like that is because I see now in the past few years a lot more people. have been going to therapy, which is fantastic. I'd love seeing that. So I will say that if in your heart, if you have been seeking therapy or contemplating going to therapy, I highly encourage you, I urge you to consider better help. Before I ever saw some ad for better help, I had heard other people who had been with better help and had really given strong in-person testimonies to me. Their online
Starting point is 00:06:35 platform is crafted with care, keeping your comfort in mind, starting it as simple as answering a few questions. And really important to remember, it's a journey. And I really love this because I've had at least like three therapists in my life. So if you ever feel the need to change your therapist, BetterHelp understands and allows it without any fuss. Trust me, that's a massive benefit. So for a journey of self-discovery and mental well-being, turn to BetterHelp.

John, so many thoughts on the episode came out of that. Please, John, go. Joe, go, John. I mean, no. Go, go, Johnny Ranger. Joan Jen. You know, I'm just glad to be... Take it away, John.
Starting point is 00:07:48 I personally was quite enthralled by this episode. Of course, you were. You love everything. I love everything. I don't have any criticism for any... Now read the variety of article. Clearly, Marvel is falling apart of the plan. It's all part of the story.
Starting point is 00:08:02 If you like it, you're shilling. This is all Kevin's design. Tatiana, whatever, is the god of stories in her world. Yes. Monz Lani. No, no, the variety. article 80. Oh, that, yes, of course. He's like, I'm going to read a lot of news and just put up one article and pretend it's new, new.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Hey, there's, nearby, there's an editor going, we need something. The strike is on, and Marvel is popular, but not as popular, so thus the perfect time. Yeah, we can't talk any more about how D.C. is in Shampas. There's something new to report. Anywho, I really enjoyed this episode. I think yes. I'm not going to dumb it down now, John. What are you trying to placate to the haters? Pick a sign, John.
Starting point is 00:08:44 I thought this was a rich existential experience. Oh, now he's an elite. Big words, like existential. It's good and how do I be sophisticated? Please explain this ending. Where were the Easter eggs? I need the TikTok cut. Coy.
Starting point is 00:09:05 It's almost Christmas. All right. Different holiday altogether. Shane Black, Loki, episode six. It is. Anyway, that's my review. I think that certainly I may be the most enthralled of us in some ways, but, you know, like, I don't know how people are going to feel about, like, the pound-for-pound, like, revelations plot-wise, we got this episode, but I've really, really, really been loving and appreciating the feeling that this show in particular has been giving me that is kind of a rare feeling. It's the kind of feeling I associate with any particularly rich and interesting sci-fi.
Starting point is 00:09:46 And it comes with like stray episodes, the particularly great twilight zones or things like that. Or like an amazing Doctor Who, something like this is really embodying this sense of, yeah, something is off and you can't quite tell what the source of that is. And it permeates the mood of everything. and I really enjoyed the sort of somber, lonely mission that Loki was on this episode, seeing all of our different friends in their potentially sacred timeline lives. I loved the mood, the aura, the atmosphere, and the puzzle of figuring out the time slipping, figuring out should we or should we not try and save the TVA, why are we doing that? I just thought this was rich with a lot of stuff.
Starting point is 00:10:31 I am often hoping that, like, things like this, and then I'll let you guys talk. Things like this are, they make me kind of furious because I'm like, clearly you guys are capable of coming up with something that is both satisfying as like a big superhero, you know, blockbuster thingy, but also that has a really authentically science fiction feel and level of thought and meta thought put into it. I thought that was quite well exemplified in this episode and even though it might not be the most revelatory in terms of nuts and bolts and plots this might be towards the top if I was to rank the episodes for me. It might not be the top but it's pretty close
Starting point is 00:11:17 like I really loved a lot of this. I almost kissed you there. You did, a little mic to mic. A little Mike to Mike, a little Sylvie Loki, X. I really like that the show feels like it trusts us to take its time. I definitely had to adjust my expectations about 10 minutes in when I was like, oh, okay, we're going to do like a new moment for our lead versus the story directly carrying the plot. Like we had to like charge up the narrative in the isolated individuals in order for the big finale.
Starting point is 00:11:49 And I actually, once I realized that, really enjoyed the episode. But there was definitely a moment where I was like, oh, we're rushing to this. And then I was like, oh, no, we're slowing down for this. and I had to like re-kind of calibrate. I was afraid it was going to do what it did and then try to go back. Once I realized what it was doing and I'm really glad it just did what it did
Starting point is 00:12:06 and then like kind of let you breathe in the emotional beats of that because it could have been like, and now we're back to the TVA. And I was like, oh, okay, no, we're going to do this and give it some time to breathe. But I agree with John, that did cause it to not of as many revelatory moments,
Starting point is 00:12:18 but it did give this beautiful ponderous. We all had these moments of mentioning like the melancholy and the existential dread and the man, that drop-in, drop-out song of like pure, loose, like LSD, lucid dreaming, wonderful, oh, like there was a wait
Starting point is 00:12:36 to this episode early, Doug. I also liked that this season finally gave Sylvie some time, because I do feel like we've missed out on a lot of Sylvie. But I think the thing I like the most is it was stuff that I thought was going to happen from the jump that delivered in a more fun way. So like I, multiple times the episode was like,
Starting point is 00:12:54 there's going to happen, this is going to happen. But then when it actually happened, and I was like, oh, nice. And, like, I called the God of Stories in the pilot, but also, like, I put out the comic wrecks today. Like, I always do midway through the season. And six seconds in is when he's first called the God of Stories, because at the end of the last episode,
Starting point is 00:13:07 I was like, somehow they're going to make that a thing. I thought it was going to be the finale. It ended up being here. But they're doing a beautiful thing, kind of like Civil War, where they hit certain beats in the comics in new ways. And this is hitting certain beats where I still think Victor Timely's demise is either the birth of Kang
Starting point is 00:13:22 or his manifesting into Kang. That moment is not a negative for Kang. really excited to see that payoff because I feel like I have all the ingredients in the pie, but I'm really excited to see him bake it. It's Dr. Doom now. Oh, Dr. Jim, that's right. That's right. Dr. Doom has been confirmed. Yeah, and Robert Jenny Jr. showing up
Starting point is 00:13:38 on episode 6. Tommy McGuire. Oh, yeah, huge accuracy. The Secret Wars, they're going to lead to see a few wars. And also, yeah, no, don't worry about that. It's going to be fun. Also, Blade is $100 million. And there's four women. Forrest. Is that a fourth week? I feel like Blade would be
Starting point is 00:13:52 100 million. And Mia Goss is the lead. It's very confusing. Lake Bell's there, too. We don't know why. I mean, we know Blades a disaster. That's why it's out this year, right? None of it's new. 20, 23.
Starting point is 00:14:03 But, yeah. The thing about the variety articles, that none of it's... It's literally just repeating articles. The thing we're saying is like, it's not that we disagree with it. It's that none of this is really new. It's also literally framed to be so negative
Starting point is 00:14:17 when it's like, yeah, we know things have been bad. Why are you telling us in one condensed? It's like, now that's what I call bullshit. Like, we know what shit is happening. But they finally confirm that water is wet. Ah, yes, and Marbleson. Anyway. Anyway, I'm sure we'll talk more about it on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Saturday. We have a live stream we're doing. So, yeah, I would rank this one, like, my third favorite out of the... 4-1-5? 4-1-5-3-2? Yeah, 4-1-5-3-2? That's why we almost kissed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:47 I would rank this number three out of them, and I really did enjoy it a lot. And I agree with the entire is no point. to me of repeating everything you guys said. Repeat everything. Yeah, existential dread melancholy. It was all great, poetic. Lovely. I love that they gave us a few things that we have been sort of aiming for and hoping for.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Obviously, Mobius on a jet scheme is something that we have all been clamping at the bit. We want to see that happen. And I like the portrayals a lot of what we got. There's some I wish we kind of got to live in a little bit more. I'll just say this I agree with all the positives I think the right thing to do when you're reviewing
Starting point is 00:15:29 and say all the positives and say the negatives or the criticisms for later my criticism about it is more so wondering how I'll ultimately feel about it in the end once episode six is done
Starting point is 00:15:41 because you know one thing that has come out about Marvel lately but now that they've officially finally heard some showrunners is that they've essentially been making movies
Starting point is 00:15:50 and then dividing it up into like several hours whereas here Loki, I would say that they really do feel like they have thought episode per episode and where each episode should really end. And I don't feel like that any of them have been filler. They've all felt substantial and necessary. What was missing for me, like I love the turns that we've got in here.
Starting point is 00:16:13 I love the answers. I like how this was a big journey on Loki really establishing, like in season one, he was understanding his own true identity. and here he was understanding connection and that these people are really a big part of his camaraderie and that the key to the time slipping and understanding that a lot of this is a power from within
Starting point is 00:16:33 it's not just something that is happening to him. I think is great. I really love learning that and watching all of that unfold. I think Tom Housinger is another great performance. What was missing for me that I actually do feel is a bit rushed is you get such a great cliffhanger
Starting point is 00:16:48 of what has happened to the TVA, what has become of everyone, Loki's the only one who really remembers. And it's this journey that I don't really feel a sense of catharsis on because it's the journey is about like getting the team back together and getting them to remember reassembling. And you know, they talk a lot about goals and why's here and putting them on the path for why to do this.
Starting point is 00:17:15 And I kind of feel like we got to assembling them all pretty much like really quick. and not letting us live in the, I guess the hopelessness of the situation enough. If this wasn't a Marvel show, I would have liked an eight episode series, and I'd have had one of filler, not filler in the negative sense, but filling in the time between Brad and the interrogation.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Or make that episode like two-parter, and then I would have loved this to be a two-parter between his isolation and then a longer rallying of the troops. Yeah, like really. If I'd make it eight. Those are the two beats. You would, you could let the debate linger a little bit longer of why they should come together, of the sacrifices that are potentially at hand, like Loki's family.
Starting point is 00:18:03 No, no, no, Loki, Mobius's family. Like, we didn't really get a C.B15's life. And the moment where he accepts that he needs others got moved quickly. I wanted that to, like, stick. And I get that that's the epiphany, but I like when that has a resolution. Because that's the moment we have had all season. I guess what was missing for me was a little bit of. the drama a little bit of the struggle and to me it kind of got it's it was to the point where
Starting point is 00:18:29 it was like well we know that we're going to be resolving this and I feel like there was too much of an awareness on the writer's end to be like we know they're going to resolve this so let's just get to it and I feel like we need in order to feel the catharsis of them finally coming back together of them finally doing this you need to have a moment where you are not feeling the finally it was more like we know we're getting there and we started getting there within like 10 minutes. I hope they don't fix it next episode, man.
Starting point is 00:18:56 I feel like... So that's my... I know out of the three of us I spent like the most time you know, gestating on a on a criticism that I had and a desire. But I would still rank this number three
Starting point is 00:19:09 because everything that I liked about it is the same things I would echo that you guys said echo trailer apparently coming out. Yay, good job. Woo! Overmarket everything all at once. All the episodes are already live.
Starting point is 00:19:20 It's hard. You guys have the Loki finale? They're a quick finale before Marvel's comes out. We're going to put it on TikTok in 15-second sections. We need to compete with the fact that Invincible is also premiered at the same time. We need two things at once. Good thing they're not both on Amazon. We want to have a...
Starting point is 00:19:37 I think that's... So, yeah, that is my one concern. But, again, I love the tone. I love the symmetry of these shots. I loved Obie's performance. I like where the theories that you speculate towards it, it feels like they're actually giving you a reward with that. A lot of times
Starting point is 00:19:54 with a lot of these Marvel shows, I think what ends up happening, and maybe Koi still doing it too much to a certain extent. You know, where you're like, over-theorized Deadpool was in this episode. He was all over in this episode, right? But I would say that they do
Starting point is 00:20:10 within this season alone, they eventually lean into things we're like, oh damn, some crazy theories are coming true, you know? The thing I'm really latching on to, is that we are watching he who remains ultimate plan unveil and in fact when you look at the
Starting point is 00:20:25 previously on the first thing they open up with is something from he who remains talking about like this is the plan and it wrote it up the road I was like I'm pretty confident that whatever everything is a mislead of heroic
Starting point is 00:20:41 conquering or heroics climbing up the ladder that everything that we think is heroism is really a step in the direction Yes, I think that is exactly what we're watching unfold is something truly malevolent. What if they built the time moon for him? Like what if that's what gives him his power?
Starting point is 00:20:59 Like what if putting it back together is what allows him to conquer? These guys need to build my bigger... Because it can't end well. No, I don't think... It could. I don't think it will end well. And that's what I... That's what I've been really loving about the show
Starting point is 00:21:13 and the performance is all around. So in this episode, in the background, there was a 25. and the 25 in the time theater this episode 5, 5 times time is 25, but in issue 75 of Wolverine, it gets Adamating to take him out. X-Men 75, 25 times 3, Deadpool 3, he's in the next episode, Wolverine confirmed. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Deadpool 3 times 25 to 75, Adamantium pulled down. You used to convince me, but then now I just go, I'd like to rather be here and be like, oh shit, Coy was right. No, you're your... No, my story is for right. Also, the second Oroboris, I love that he's an Orboris for Kang as well as an Orboros for Loki. Like the oroboros of Loki giving him the thing that starts the time
Starting point is 00:21:51 And then him needing oroboros to bounce off the time So he's an orborist for good and evil Making him a true chaotic neutral which is time travel I think they could have used a third beat of OB Of like of development of his life crumbling off screen Oh that's so funny That was hilarious Lost my life
Starting point is 00:22:09 My home I thought that fast I know yeah you could Just did a third one would have been hello I just I thought that was funny well that's the thing is i i would agree across the spectrum that yeah it's like if you would give it if you'd given this eight episodes i think you would have i think they're doing a really nice job of moving this along in a six episode package that doesn't feel strange and
Starting point is 00:22:34 lopsided and funky and all that stuff like they're they're still doing a really good job with the brevity however you know yeah you would love some more of those just more time to fill in those beat. Something you said earlier made me think of this. Or just like an hour and 10 minute episode instead of a 40 minute. Yeah, yeah. It made me kind of think what you what you said a few minutes ago is like they're writing as if they know that we know that these certain things are foregone conclusions. And I think that in a lot of in a lot of places, it's okay to do that. If you know some conclusion is coming, you don't necessarily need to drag it out. However, I feel like in an environment like this in in the MCU especially, I would argue, it's kind of important. to spend a little time within the circumstances, even if we know what the outcome might become. And so, yeah, like, I think this show is good at doing that in general. However, I would agree that those certain beats I would have been thrilled to live even more in, or even early on in the episode when he's running around.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Like, that reminded me of that where is everybody Twilight Zone episode. And, like, you could have done even more of that, you know, you could have... I wanted more Mobius in his single dadhood. I wanted more of, you know, 15... Like the way how you lived in the life of an end game when you're seeing like, okay, it's bad for some people, but look at Tony Stark's like, it's actually all right. And he's putting it at risk. And he's got a debate here whether or not he should.
Starting point is 00:23:58 We barely met his kids. And I didn't feel the weight of if he lost them. Yes. And I think we didn't feel any of the weight of Loki wondering, is he making the right call either? Because the lack of weight of their own individual choices. I feel like there should have been a part of him that was hearing silly. of these argument. Yeah, and I feel like
Starting point is 00:24:16 that epiphany would have been stronger of how it landed. It's like we know obviously we know we know. Oh, the comments right now they're like they're really
Starting point is 00:24:26 picking this apart to be like we're just saying what can make it from an A minus to an A. It's still really effective and really rich. It's still significantly better than like 99% of the Marvel shows
Starting point is 00:24:35 like. We're just acknowledging things that like would have judged it a little bit more. Yeah. It's like for me this is living up to and carrying on the greatness from the first season. Like I'm still this
Starting point is 00:24:44 is still, like, top-notch, like, this is the capability, this is what I want. This is, you know, the stuff I know you can make great. But yeah, yeah, it's just like, when you glimpse that greatness, you're like, you know, what can make this even greater? Mobius, we don't know his last name, might be Storm, stopping
Starting point is 00:25:00 a time storm, kid, bullcutt, matches, human torch, Johnny Storm, fantastic four confirmed. That's right. See, it's all in this one episode. It's an or Boris of Easter eggs. Yeah, this was So, this was, this is still like my favorite Marvel show that they have here. And I, I don't, I don't want OB to have, to have, like, an evilness reveal.
Starting point is 00:25:26 And I'm afraid that will happen. I don't know if it's intentional because he's clearly pulled out of, like, he clearly had a life here. Yes, but part of me wonder, he's so removed, isolated. and strange by comparison to everyone else. He's the only one who doesn't feel quite like they were just always at this point on their timeline. Sure, sure. And I mean, that could just be me reading into it because on the other hand, you could just be like, oh, he's just an eccentric, you know, guy who spends a lot of time alone and just got divorce, you know?
Starting point is 00:26:01 Right, right. But I could also see it working in a way where, yeah, there's something more sinister to him. But I really do love what they've done, what they've given Kekwon to work with in this because he is the perfect presence for this. And in this episode, I thought he really shone out. And I loved what they did with him and Loki breaking down how to think about this as science versus fiction and all that other stuff. Yeah, the wordplay was as dynamic as the Owen Wilson stuff. And that's impressive.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Like the fact that I've just as invested with two men talking in a room as I was with the Mobius stuff. That's the power of that character. Yeah, yeah. I still, yeah, I can't help but feel like we do need a little bit more flesh on some of the, like, especially with Sylvie. This was the closest.
Starting point is 00:26:50 All we ever get is just her like working at McDonald's going, I want a normal life. But you don't really get to see like what the appeal is. She doesn't know what to hold on to that music choice. Yeah. And to like it's a very effective sequence. So, like, her turn makes a lot of sense.
Starting point is 00:27:06 But, you know, like, we do kind of go from her convincing Loki that this is his own selfish mission and then, you know, recanting on that pretty quick. That said, for how much we want those things, it is impressive. The writing and the actors are able to give us enough with the limited time that that drawing out scene felt so powerful. Like, I want to give credit to the visual effects artists and the actors and the writer and directors because what they, even with the limited time that we're wanting more of, I was still like, oh when they all got like time pulled
Starting point is 00:27:35 I appreciate the fact that at least even given the fucking effort and like you can feel that like they probably want to do all these things oh 100% I guarantee there's a mandate of like you only have six episodes and stuff so I wouldn't it's not something where I actually blame the writers no and for wishing for that stuff I don't think
Starting point is 00:27:53 it's hurting for it like I still thought this was great I still loved so much of this again it's that thing of like this was so good and you can just easily see the potential for even more of that goodness. I love the look at time dusting. And we're going to get probably more John with the Major's next episode. Yeah. Yes. It's time.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Magazine Dreams. Let's do it. I think they should air his trial as the episode. On the same day. Oh, well, Disney Plus, make it an exclusive. They should put it on all the screens at the same time. How crazy would that be aired on the same time. Invincible and GenVee. While the Marvels is playing in theaters.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Oh, yes, the same day. Guys, November 9th, I think they should do it. No, they should drop the Marvel. It's not over saturation. It's just, it's over, they just release too much at once. Why compete with others when you can compete with yourself? Why spread out your release dates? Just everyone, release your shit all at the same time.
Starting point is 00:28:45 It's for fun. It's nice. We love it. They're like, we need to get all this stuff out here so we can take a nice long break when nothing is left for these strikes. All righty, guys, what did you think about all this? Leave your thoughts down below. Be sure to subscribe for our reaction to the finale. Thank you quite for being here.

All right, guys, part two that is going up after Halloween. Yes. But we have to finish it. So where we left off was John have put into chat, GBT,
Starting point is 00:29:23 the way how John has figured out how to write everything and anything, including text messages to his friends, family. When someone dies, he goes, what do I say? And so... I'm trying to console my grieving relative. My therapist has a question for me, and here it is, Chat, GBT. So what was the prompt you gave it? I told ChatGBT, GBT.
Starting point is 00:29:44 We're going to shout out our patrons, our super sexy rejects for the month of October, and the theme will be a Halloween party. We want you to come up with funny or scary movie-related costumes for each patron based on their name. So that's the general ID. Yes, and we have about like 10, 15 more names. and I intentionally I was very purposeful about I want to react to them on camera

Starting point is 00:31:13 likes to photobomb underwater selfies. It's a very high effort costume there. I hope Lorenzo would have to go underwater, take selfies, to make sure he could show them at parties to everyone. Be like, what's your costume? I go over here. Look at my phone. Look at my phone.
