WE WATCH LOKI FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! EXCITED! (PART 1) 

"I wonder why they always make the setting green" Because its the Loki show. Lokis color is green.

Loki, but especially the first episode, is unquestionably the most incisive character deconstruction the MCU’s ever done. Just strips away every layer of pretense one by one until all that’s left is the man’s raw core.

One of the absolute best things about this show is the chemistry between Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston.

One of my favorite things about this sci-fi crime thriller show overall is that Tom Hiddleston himself is an executive producer. He’s exploring this character with the rest of us, and that’s a glorious purpose if I ever heard one. Going into this back in June 2021, my biggest concern with this show was the initial character development. What I mean is that Loki had solidified himself as both a hero and an Avenger when he attempted to kill Thanos himself at the beginning of Infinity War. All that development was up and gone when Thanos killed him, but Analyst Loki (as I personally call him so we don’t confuse him with original Loki) was able to see how his life was supposed to play out.

I love that he hesitates not knowing if he's a robot but doesn't know it lmao 😂 It's also refreshing hearing a reactor NOT have a "MEPHISTO?!" reaction when the kid points at the devil window tbh.

My read on Loki is that Betrayal is always a part of his plan. He just may not always be betraying the good guys.

The whole D.B. Cooper case was fascinating to me and the fact that they added it into the show was perfect 🤣 the money flew out onto a beach called "Tinabar Beach" and I believe a kid found the money, because all the serial numbers matched the stolen 20 dollar bills, but sadly nobody found out who D.B. Cooper was

I love the “hitchhikers guide to the galaxy” feel to the show

Loki made it a point to show that he was an expert in magic because it's what his mother taught him. He may be a selfish and conniving trickster, but he always gives her the credit she's due.

I love how different Owen Wilson's role is in this compared to his previous ones.

Welcome to the MCU Multiverse, V. This is where the Saga really begins imo

When Loki sees the infinity stones just there, he realizes thy are basically nothing in the grand scheme of things

I love how every single version of loki is just sass and thats it. love your videos!

In Ep1, Loki is so shook from his death because, just a few hours prior he was working for Thanos and destroying NY. To then see him being killed by him would've been chilling

It is such a wonderful show, and I'm so happy with how it came out. It was hilarious to find out that Tom actually gave classes to the various actors... on how to play Loki. That's just glorious XD But yeah, the one thing that was so tough for me with it was the fact that I had to wait a week (or more) between episodes!

Its funny what types of style resonates with people because I LOVE the style of the TVA.

Glorious episode. Also, love Loki TV Series' main theme was loosely inspired by A Clockwork Orange (1971).

One big reason I love Loki is all the similarities to one of my favorite films, Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil”. Like Loki, Brazil is about a vast oppressive bureaucracy that’s trying to maintain order in a fantastical world via an elaborate system of paperwork/forms and a violent police force that brutally deals with anyone that gets out of line/making the smallest bureaucratic errors. Definitely recommend watching Brazil if anyone hasn’t, particularly if you like Harry Potter as the Ministry of Magic took a lot of inspiration from Brazil

When Mt. Vesuvius erupted the gas clouds could be seen in the morning with the actual eruption happening around 1PM it lasted until the next morning between the smoke inhalation and being covered in ashe is why most were found in a laying position.

Loki series is on another level compared to the others becuz he is the God of Mischief!!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS JOURNEY. Loki was one of the best series coming out of Marvel.

I love how hard Natalie Holt went with the music

totally love it.. the best series they've done...season 2 coming soon.

I love that this whole show is pretty meta. A fictional character fighting against the authors.

I love the design of the TVA. Give me that retro 70s art deco all day.

I love the design of the TVA. It's an aesthetic era that doesn't get used enough, especially for sci-fi.

Miss Minutes is giving me Clippy vibes. Holding Out for a Hero I love this song because of Footloose(1984), Short Circuit 2(1988), and Who's Harry Crumb (1989).

If you are finding the aesthetic of the TVA unsettling, that it because it's supposed to unsettle you. The design choices are meant to evoke the essence of bureaucracy, something soulless, devoid of empathy or joy. It may be unsettling, but it's also a part of character development of the TVA. Everything about it wreaks of bureaucracy. The forms to fill out, the joyless nearly mindless employees just getting through another task, the fact that they avoid answering a question at almost any cost. It's all setup specifically to evoke unsettling uncomfortable emotions. You have to give it to the production team who design the world with so much detail, so without any real things being said, it's already making you feel all sorts of things. Buckle in though. If you think it's gotten crazy, it hasn't even started yet. Love this show and can't wait for the 2nd season.

_-_*_We watch Loki for the first time..._* _-"We?"_ _-The Royal "we!" You know, the editorial..._

Great to see you doing this series, Vicki!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 It is very interesting to see the evolution of 2012 Loki throughout this series. The series is very well made, and I hope you continue with season 2 when it is released. Nice job reacting to your first two Loki episodes!!!🏆

32:23 According to Pliny the Younger, Vesuvius erupted around 1 PM. By 5 PM, the roofs were collapsing under the weight of the ash, doors couldn't be opened, the sun had been blotted out, and lots of people abandoned their homes in favor of the harbor. Starting around midnight, Pompeii was hit by multiple pyroclastic surges. The people who were left there probably weren't asleep, but trapped in their homes because it was the only shelter left. According to one scientific study, any remaining inhabitants suffocated in the cloud of ash and gas, in a span of somewhere between 10-20 minutes. Hence why so many of them looked like they died in sleeping positions.

Great job! You're the first reactor I've seen who picked up the D. B. Cooper thing before they say the name.

Tom Hiddleston has said that what he likes most about Loki is that he "plays all the keys" at any time he might do anything.

The Pompeii pyroclastic flow happened in the morning of the second day of the eruption. The people weren’t asleep, but in the throes of an agonising death.

So happy to see you start this series!!! I’m really excited to see what your reaction is to the last episode!! Cuz it’s such a huge key to the next overall chapter of the MCU post Thanos

The MCU meets Doctor Who, love it.

I am so psyched you're finally doing this show, and am very interested on your takes.

Wow! Nice reaction! I love all your reactions!

For anyone who didn't know but Loki is actually the Norse God of mischief and he is the father to the big dog that was in ragnarök and mother to odins horse

Oh! Little fun fact! Roxxon is the oil company from Iron Man 3. In the comics they’re basically this giant evil conglomerate corporation (think BnL from Wall-E).

The TVA is designed with tech & objects from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s, and the future because they are the TVA and can travel to any time in history

5:46 "Why is she Southern? Why is she a Southern Belle?" The answer to that is in two parts. First, despite supremely talented voice actress Tara "Taralicious" Strong having over 600 roles to her name on IMDb, including Raven on Teen Titans, Harley Quinn in several projects, Hello Kitty, Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls, Rikku from Final Fantasy X, Timmy Turner from Fairly Odd Parents, and a Bellybutton of all things in the Ted movie, she'd never voiced an Anthropomorphic Clock Mascot, and decided to give a Southern voice a try, along with a Siri like voice and one halfway between Siri and her normal voice. The showrunners felt the Southern voice was the best fit for the character. Second, that shot of the TVA Archives at 29:19 was filmed at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. Like many other buildings designed by architect John Portman, this building is very popular with Hollywood. It was the Tribute Training Center in the Hunger Games Sequels, was in the only Hannibal Lector movie to NOT star Loki's dad - Manhunter, and even showed up earlier in the MCU in the teaser trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming in a scene that doesn't show up in the actual movie, where the Vulture is swooping down that distinctive rib cage like atrium. It's not the first time that the Atlanta Marriott Marquis has seen a Loki within its walls. Every year over Labor Day weekend, the Marriott, four neighboring convention hotels, and a few city block size convention halls (all but two of which were also designed Portman) play host to DragonCon, one of the biggest all-around geekery conventions on the U.S. East Coast. Dozens if not hundreds of Loki -̴v̴a̴r̴i̴a̴n̴t̴s̴-̴ cosplayers can be found in the Marriott each DragonCon. The Marriott was not the only Atlanta filming location for this show: the outdoor scenes of the Oshkosh Renfaire was filmed at the Georgia Renaissance Festival just south of Atlanta. And to bring things full circle, one time, in that Marriott, at DragonCon, Tara Strong asked me to be her sugar daddy. True story.

the animated timekeepers had spots on their faces that could be considered scales

I'm so envious. Getting to bgine watch this. The agony (like with most Marvel TV series), of hav9ing to wait week after week for more answers was unbearable lol. TBH Loki is the BEST Marvel show/series thus far. WandaVision was nice and all, but Loki opens the door to a whole new side of Marvel alto of fans have been waiting for. Heck this series, without spoiling it for you, is the key that really started off the current phase we are in (and the next two phases).

V, in Iron Man 3, he thought he was facing off against the Mandarin, but in the comics, the Mandarin is a chinese archaeologist and he finds a cave in China with an ancient alien spaceship, and inside is a robot dragon with 10 power rings on his claws, that fit on the human, Mandarin's fingers. and each one has a different alien language symbol on it, and each one does a horrible and powerful thing, like lightning blast and black hole and freeze ray . and the rings actually belong to a race of space lizards known as the Bakugan race.

I love how the Loki theme song sounds like space mountain in disney world.

"You mischevous scamp...." "What's a fish?"

Loki series has been great. Can’t wait until next season. Glorious Purpose!

So now we usher the multiverse in with Loki, but not the Loki we grew to love no it's the alternate timeline Loki that escaped due to Tony's miscalculation during Endgame. Still he had some moment to reflect on the life he may've led before snapped by Thanos before The Snap, so now we have Loki: Probationary Time Cop! We have some lowkey canon characters in Mobius M. Mobius and Ravonna Renslayer of the TVA - also a comic canon organization, but also the fresh usage of another alternate timeline Loki. Fun Fact: Tom Hiddleston has a Classics degree, so he's going into familiar territory in the Pompeii scene

The Loki series is one of the best series on Disney+ im so glad you’re watching it

VKunia: What is Owen Wilson doing here?! Me: Acting.

The D. B. Cooper bit was so great!

The animation style is 50’s, the TVA exists outside of time do it can monitor all of time and all of the timelines.

I am so excited to watch this with you. I will be looking forward to every episode with you

i can’t wait for you to finish this!

LOL @ "Did you just get down into the fire?"

With Pompeii, the eruption occurred during the day; most of the remains found were from people who suffocated from the poisonous gases from the eruption.

I just texted someone and opened up the GIF menu and saw a GIF of VKunia. The influence is spreading 😈

Loki was sooooooo gooooood can’t wait for season two!

Omg I'm so excited. One of my fav reactors finally on loki.

I have to say your worry over the salad overlaid with Moribius’ worry was pretty priceless.

33:22 Mid-century decor is back in!

Everyone obviously agree that Loki is definitely one if the absolute best Marvel series based on a character who is a villain but also a brother to Thor, I liked it and great overall reaction to fantastic to this first episode VKunia.

been waiting for this 😊

V, at 32 min, if a volcano magma rolls over you it might push you down into a laying position as the lava covers your body

The Miss Minute presentation was supposed to be an homage to the animated presentation in the first Jurassic Park.

"I'm gonna stop making Zoolander references." What's the dealio, yo?

Someone pointed this out in a previous reaction video comments.... Loki's last memory before he died is Thor weeping over his body. The file did not end with Thanos crushing Loki' neck

Thanks for your reaction. Enjoy that. 👍

this is one of my favorite series

I can’t wait for season 2. Season one was so much fun, especially after the personal hardship i went through after WandaVision (wich had nothing to do with the show)

"For the future, they have the same products." Well, it's Alabama.

Not sure how far ahead you are, but -- no spoilers -- I highly recommend watching the first few minutes of episode 6 with subtitles on.

Loki: FREEDOM! TVA:

I do like the reference of the 2048 climate crisis apocalypse. It's an actual reference to a real world study where the oceans of Earth end up empty of fish enough that the eco-system within can no longer sustain life on the surface and so would begin the next great extinction event. The study itself is now out of date and innacurate but the threat it predicted is still looming over us and scientists are already claiming we're in the beginning of the 6th Great Extinction Event. Fun times

THE TVA BUILDING ACTUALLY IS A REAL BUILDING THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS BY THE WAY. ITS NOT A SET.

It's actually not in ANY time. It's outside of time.

V, at 932 , the enforcer said powers, i think Thor and his brother are mutants, i think Thor has the power of sparkles and his brother has the power of illusions and other ones

I don't know if anyone has said it but on the topic of Infinity Stones. No infinity Sone works outside of the universe it was created within that's why they are just useless paper weights.

i wanna see Mobius and Deadpool have a roasting competition

Phase 4 is all about Identity. Embracing identity, taking on identity, losing your identity, becoming one identity, moving on with a new identity, creating a fake identity, variants & the multiverse being a literal take on different identities, being identified by others, sharing your identity, having an identity crisis, choosing your identity, finding your identity, living a double life, fighting over an identity, etc;

Miss Minutes is voiced by legendary voice actress Tara Strong, famous for many, many well known characters including: Bubbles (Powerpuff girls), Timmy (Fairly Odd Parents), Dil (Rugrats), Raven (Teen Titans), Harley Quinn and Batgirl (various DC animated shows and films), Twilight Sparkle (My Little Pony), and Risha in the Star Wars: The Old Republic video game (companion to the Smuggler player character).

5:56 The little cartoon clock being southern may be a joke about the real world Tennesse Valley Authority or TVA for short.

You know what would happen if you held the Tesseract. You would break it open and eat the infinity stone inside.

i think the collar is like the collars in Deadpool 2

I want the original avengers back too, with Tony and Natasha😭❤️

Episodes 4 and 6 have post credits scenes.

That was indeed IK the Troll King.

Ooohhh this is going to be good!

Watching this show after playing the game Control had me just reveling in the vintage government office aesthetic

*Loky´s series have the best arc of character of marvel*

“I’d love to visit a desert sometime.” Come to Oklahoma; it’s a cultural desert!

Confrontation behind the wall between Loki and his past I tell ya that’s what I’m sayin.

Time is a difficult concept to wrap you head around but here's a quick try. The TVA must exist in a dimension above the 3rd dimension so take a step back. Imagine you are a 2nd dimensional person living in a flip book. Pages turning in the 3rd dimension changes which paper you are on but you can't perceive the 3rd dimension you are moving through as the pages stack on top of one another, and you cannot control the direction you are moving in 3 dimensional space. As a 3rd dimensional person what you call time is moving your universe through the 4th dimension but you cannot perceive it or control the direction you move. The TVA must exist in at least the 4th dimension of space to be able to perceive and move through time. Their technology lowers them into the 3rd dimension when they time travel. Like turning through the pages of the book and jumping in Blue's Clues style. Powers like magic and infinity stones alter the state of 3 dimensional mass/energy but cannot effect 4 dimensional mass/energy. This is how I describe the mechanics of the TVA but it's only a guess.

14:02 it’s been 10 years, Vkunia

DB Cooper did the skyjacking in 1972.

The TVA atmosphere Reminds me of the video game from Remedy called Control. I think the 60s look is often chosen because of the FBI ran by J Edgar Hoover at the time was very corrupt, soulless and bureaucratic.. I think that creepy offputting vibe is on purpose.

Alright everyone, all together now: WOW!

my head hurt from all of this time travel

Loki and Wanda are so good. The other series are worth a watch, but these 2 are the best of them.
