Loki is weird. The concept of the story is great, and after watching the first episode it automatically became one of my favorite shows. The 2nd episode wasn't as good but I still had high hopes. Then by the 3rd episode it just became bad. I struggled to finish every episode since then.

It's weirdly paced, weirdly written, badly choreographed. There's a lot of good potential but just felt like it was written and directed like a highschool play... except done with the budget of a blockbuster. Just... weird.

I do think that they’re starting to rely on Easter eggs too much as a formula. They need to get back to things like character’s personal dilemma, archenemies, motivations, and just stories that are written a little better.

Your quote I hi-lighted in bold made me chuckle. The minute I saw it, it made me think of the writing for the Disney Star Wars trilogy.

Are Easter eggs used in the print comics? If so, then the film-verse is rightfully keeping within the genre. But I daresay a lot of the so-called eggs are not eggs at all. Even so, if looking for Easter eggs is part of a viewers total enjoyment experience, what’s wrong with that. It’s claimed this is getting in the way of the drama, maybe so, but I’m not disappointed in the TV shows. Flawed they were, but not bad. Actually, overall, pretty good.

Frankly, I find it fun that there’s a brief glimpse at what might be Peggy Carter being time arrested by the TVA. After all, she and Cap might be living “illegally” in two timelines on the MCU: one where he’s trapped in ice for decades; the other he’s living life as her husband. And folks like to come to these websites to share the fun, not be castigated for not expecting each film to be Citizen Kane.

So, yeah, imagining alternative scenarios that might come to pass in a future story is part of the fun. Killjoys looking for sour grapes are not part of the fun.
