Loki Spoiler Discussion

Didn't have a problem with the flashbacks. This variant had to see how the original Loki ended up. We all knew that scene was coming, I thought they'd save it for much later in the series. He can't get there without recapping where he'd been up to that point. It's a deconstruction of the character, how are they not going to dredge up the past? It's the whole point.

One thing worth noting, Umbrella Academy also had a time keeping organization with a 50s/60s motif. Interesting how that is a recurring theme in these shows. An organization controlling time must be retro and futuristic at the same time; it's like pop culture can only go back as far as the 1950s before it seems of another era entirely.
