23. Loki S1E5 Discussion
from This is the Way Phase Four Hosted by This is the Way Phase Four
Journey Into Mystery was thought provoking and the most fun with these kinds of shows seems to come from seeing how close one can get with predictions of what happens next. Host Steve Loscalzo has been theorizing for weeks about what it all means, but sums up his guess at the end of today's episode. Time travel is a tricky business for writers. There is a lot you have to get your audience to go along with because truly explaining it is impossible. What you then have to do is set up leaps of faith and hope people get the "timing" of your jumps right. Too easy and it isn't fun to follow. Too hard and too many people give up before the end. Kudos to Marvel Studios for picking people who, through five episodes at least, have come up with the right balance. We see get visual and dialogue call backs to past episodes and other Marvel properties. If you dig deep enough, you find lessons on faith, love, trust, and hope. There's just one episode left to find out what we can about the TVA, multiverses, and the master of time as we now know it.
