10/10. Peak. This might be one of the best comic book TV finales or even episodes ever. Maybe this is recency bias but I don’t really care, this straight up floored me. Incredible.
I’ll say it again, the growth of Loki throughout this series has been absolutely phenomenal. To go from a selfish villain to a selfless hero has been an epic journey. This is MARVEL in all its glory!
The best growth of any character in the entire story, period. Amazing. As sad as it is he was destined to be alone, he always did have glorious purpose.
Loki is the most well-developed character in the MCU. This ending was truly worthy of the character!:green_heart:
I see what you're doing, show. Having Loki become a master of time travel who turns toward the camera while emphasizing the line "it's WHO". I see, and I am amused. I like how this not only explores who our main cast were before their lives in the TVA, but it's a meta examination of how you can't just recapture the allure of the past without it literally unraveling, and also how the absurd impossibility of fiction is just as essential to science fiction as the science. A really inventive and rich episode. And so many jet skis.
I never thought that Marvel would dare to do a scene like that, where Rabona and Miss Minutes murder the former AVT agents in cold blood, woww... it was too strong a scene.
Dare I say… best episode of Loki yet? Definitely the best this season. Everything about it was PERFECT.
Objectively - yes, 30 min. was not enough. Izzy dying was also kinda....unnecessary. Yes, it was foreshadowed, and heartfelt but still, I think him becoming the new captain would have been a fitting ending to his arc in this season. That aside, love the ending, everyone teaming up and stuff. Lovely season, it was so much fun to watch.
We definitely need (a longer, better funded, with people getting paid well for their outstanding work) season 3.
This live adaptation has broken the bad anime adaptation curse. It captured 85% of the original anime.
As someone who doesn't read the manga or watch the anime, this first introduction to the series has convinced me to check more of the story out. I'm excited to dive deeper into One Piece, and I'm looking forward to any future seasons of the show!
This series really captured the spirit of One Piece. I am completely caught off guard by how good it is. There is so much story to retell. Looking fwd to it.
“You have… ONE hour!”
crack
“You have… five… minutes”
:sob:
Finally back! I missed this
We expected more of a fight from you James, you're English. For God's sake 5 of you lot got together and invaded half the world
This is such an emotional roller coaster episode. Great blending of hilarious, heart warming and unexpectedly sadness.
Really fun to see their mas’ backstory. The casting and acting of young mas are so on point to the adult version and their kids. This is such an awesome episode that I can rewatch and it’s still funny.
No one say protect Orla at all costs bcoz she can fucking protect herself better than anyone else armed with nothing but her hunting knife.
The contrast to the last scene of the last season was interesting.
sheeeesh that juxtaposition at the end ??????? and also i'm amazed by how such subtle things added so much to the storytelling and tone and of the ending scene due to the cast's characterization this past season (e.g. sister michael's expression changing showing how the derry girls' silly little thing managed to touch a cynic like her despite it all, joe putting a hand on gerry's shoulder highlighting just how grave and serious current events were)
The ending scene cutting between the sheer joy of teens living their lives and the bombing while Dreams is playing is honestly one of the most gut punching scenes I've seen on TV. Like yes this is a comedy but it pulls no punches when it reminds you of just how bleak real life can get
i expected pain but to break my heart like that??
This finale warmed my heart, then ripped it out and stomped all over it. Also, it will probably be a few years before we get season 3, so, 10/10 - for the pleasure and the pain to last.
I'm in pieces. :broken_heart:
Michael Sheen & David Tennant's acting in this episode especially at the final scene was absolutely phenomenal. So heartbreakingly wonderful, truly such talented people. The way they delivered the lines, the way they were speaking with just their facial expressions, ugh just EVERYTHING - absolutely incredible. I swear to god, we need a Season 3 and we need it ASAP! Neil Gaiman, we need to talk. You're paying for my therapy.
"We could've been us." :sob:
ABSOLUTELY ACHING FOR SEASON THREE.
The romcom episode of the season!!
That was the most awkward and most delightful ball, ever! Everyone was so charming and lovely. I can hardly believe they do not have any more source material to go on with, as this season is just as fun and entertaining as the first. My favourite episode of this second outing, so far. David Tennant and Jon Hamm are absolutely wonderful in this.
