#i do think the show lacks in subtler witty and more nuanced approaches to things

the miss minutes stuff is too cringey too me. I don't understand it. wandavision and TFATWS weren't so dark no kid could watch them or anything like that. but at the same time they felt like they were shows for adults. sometimes this feels like a show for little kids. what?!?!
treating the audience as stupit is the only way to get comedy done now
#i do think the show lacks in subtler witty and more nuanced approaches to things#much of the general feel is cringe and a lot of the camera work is leaving me questioning why they would do that#but i do think the show will get better when they get around to addressing darker stuff like how the TVA are totally bad#and the Time Keepers better not be used for a gag istg#that they essentially sidestepped any discussion on Thanos' torture/Asgard's abuse is a big yike#but im over that#i would rate the show 6/10#im literally just here for Loki C-20 Sylvie and B-15#as in the characters#i am crossing my fingers and hoping episodes 3 & 4 go with 'oh yeah loki needed to fool the TVA so he acted obnoxiously loud'#AND WHERE IS HIS MAGIC AT#I expect more magic#sliding across mall floors and using a vacuum and a roomba is funny#but whaaaat???? he weighs like 525 pounds???? he has literal MAGIC he can use at any time????? not even a shield he can put up????????#he didn't have to fight just Not Get Beaten Up#i also think it could all be part of tricking everyone into thinking he's weaker than he is#but Marvel has the untrustworthiest track record and canon generally sucks with this stuff#the way the dialogue was so cringe in episode 1 even in moments that were obviously going to be projected and repeated later#this is kids show levels of narrative#im still finding it fun though with Loki getting to be chaotic and do actual *mischief*#but it does feel like they're telling far more than showing#then again we're only a third way through the show!#the Loki show#loki spoilers#loki show spoilers#my expectations with marvel tend to be 6 feet underground so im not really disappointed in anything other than dodging the torture/abuse#the abuse part which makes sense to me to do with the characters#the torture part which makes less sense to me because of whatever happened in deciding loki's interested in power and entitlement XD#reminds me of comic loki but not the modern one
