Loki season 2

Granted, I watched it in bed on my iPad before sleeping. But I had no clue what was happening or why or what the marvel world is about anymore or how anything matters. The main storyline seems to be about multiverses dying, represented by glowing strings. So each string is everything and everyone in the entire universe.

The ending is

Loki grabbing multiple universes and sewing them with his bare hands. Same guy getting knocked on his ass with an exploding arrow, can control an infinite number of universes.

Yeah, it was just dumb. I watched a few episodes, then just skipped to the end and that was pretty much the MCU over for me.

What did you think of episode 4 of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms @DavidCroquet?

I loved it. I love the slow boil and knowing where it leads the forboding is just thick. As frustrating as the 30 minutes episodes are and the show progression, they are certainly good at building tension. In some ways I wish they just dropped the whole season so I could binge it, but the wait between episodes is helping with the buildup.

I just caught up on it and I'm really liking it. The pacing for these past couple episodes are taking much better advantage of the shorter episode length. I'd almost describe it as satisfyingly predictable, in the nicest way possible (I'm thinking mostly of the "last of the 7" showing up).
