Podcasts about sacred timeline

Join us as we dive deep into Marvel's jaw-dropping announcement of 27 cast members for their highly anticipated Doomsday project and discuss how Marvel's First Family is finally merging into the “Sacred Timeline” alongside the Avengers and X-Men. Plus, horror fans rejoice as a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre is officially in development! In a surprising twist, Nick Frost is reportedly being considered to play Hagrid in a Wizarding World reboot, while Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot are both in talks for major roles in the MCU. We also celebrate a blast from the past as Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. gear up to return in a new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel. It's a packed show filled with big news, bold moves, and a few surprises along the way!

Art and Chad discuss the end of the season and media day. Then they take accountability for their preseason predictions. They close this podcast episode by discussing The Sacred Timeline. What if the ping pong balls do bounce our way?

The day has finally arrived: the first trailer for Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again has finally landed online. This show has endured tumultuous behind the scenes developments, namely a complete creative overhaul halfway through production of its initial plan for an 18-episode season. As wasn't the plan initially, Born Again is now set to take place in the continuity of the original Netflix series, which is now canon to the MCU's Sacred Timeline. Furthermore, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson and Jon Bernthal are now returning to reprise their iconic supporting roles in the show, alongside Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin and Charlie Cox as Daredevil. THANK GOD for that, because Daredevil is, I believe, unquestionably the single GREATEST superhero show of all-time. I have been very excited to see this show, which was unfairly cancelled too early initially, finally continue with these amazing characters once again. That being said, the behind the scenes madness has hindered how confident I am going into this show. Does the trailer confirm that Marvel really made attempts to return to the vibe and story of that original show? Find out in this initial reaction to the trailer.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe accomplished an unprecedented track record of box office earnings, followed by an uneven phase that included a few box office miscues and a mixed reactions to its span of Disney+ streaming series. In this episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester discuss two MCU series that had lower profiles in fan attention and viewership, but much to consider in what they got right in their storytelling: the binge-dropped live-action series Echo and the animated series What If? released weekly in its second season. Most significantly, both series featured stories with female leads that drew heavily upon elements of Heroine's Journey stories rather than repeating the long-familiar tropes of male-centered superhero tales. More than a decade ago, prior to the release of the first film in The Hunger Games series, producer Nina Jacobson highlighted a core aspect of the story of Katniss Everdeen: that she is a nurturing heroine rather than a conquering hero. In a similar vein, Captain Carter and Kahhori are heroes motivated by protection rather than power, and Hela and Gamora shift from conquering to nurturing motivations. In Echo, Maya begins the story seeking revenge and power, and ends it dedicated to protecting her family and community. Similarly, the Campbellian Hero's Journey traditionally focuses on a solo hero (who may have some allies), while contemporary Heroine's Journey stories portray her as the center of a team, rejecting savior tropes in favor of collective action and shared success. Captain Carter leads teams of supers in both seasons of What If? and Maya's story progresses from a solo vengeful quest spawned by men who kept her isolated from her family into a finale in which she prevails with a team of allies who help her restore bonds of family. We also note similar themes with Omega and her brothers in Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Outside the parameters of the stories themselves, What If? and Echo also provide lessons for Star Wars and other franchises. For one, they reinforce the importance of who creates or writes the story. What If? and The Bad Batch were led by women showrunners, while Echo had two women as head writers, other women on the writing staff, and five episodes directed by women, including four by Sydney Freeland, a Navajo filmmaker. Their perspectives bring a voice and authenticity that comes through in the storytelling. In addition, both series also serve as a reminder that lore and source material only go so far: telling the best story is what matters. The alternate-universe multiverse of What If? demonstrates clearly how departing from the MCU's “Sacred Timeline” can generate compelling and impactful stories that would be impossible within a single continuity – even going so far as to create a new character, Kahhori, who had not existed anywhere in the thousands of pages across decades of Marvel Comics. And although Maya Lopez originated in the comics, the Echo heroine we watch in Echo is changed in significant ways from that version of the character, reframing her characterization to increase the importance of her matrilineal ancestors and her powers to a more protective and defensive rather than combative emphasis – making her far more interesting as a comparison and contrast to the prior heroes in the MCU.

It's time to talk spoilers for 'Deadpool & Wolverine'! Logan, Andy, and Scotty return to nerd out with Brandon Davis from Comicbook.com, Logan Winter Cosplay, BradenSTL, and more! The latest MCU film is here and everything has changed. Enjoy this nerdy episode of Mostly Superheroes. Like and Subscribe to support this indie podcast! “Let's f%$&ing go…” The third Deadpool movie, but the first time with Disney behind the wheel. Deadpool's peaceful existence comes crashing down when the Time Variance Authority recruits him to help safeguard the multiverse. And he's gonna need a familiar friend with an awesome name and some adamantium claws. Don't worry. They won't rewrite “Logan”. Welcome to the Mutliverse this summer. We'll see you at the movies for this one! Introduction  The upcoming Disney Marvel movie "Deadpool & Wolverine" is set to be a game-changer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This film is a result of Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, which has brought together characters from separate universes under one roof. This merger has allowed for the integration of characters like Deadpool and the X-Men into the MCU.  The Plot  In "Deadpool & Wolverine", Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds. They team up to defeat a common enemy.  The Multiverse Connection  The movie is set in the multiverse, connecting it to other Marvel properties. One of the significant connections is with the TV series "Loki" and the Time Variance Authority (TVA). The TVA, introduced in "Loki", is an organization in charge of maintaining the Sacred Timeline and ensuring the Marvel Multiverse remains intact [6]. In "Deadpool & Wolverine", the TVA comes knocking on Wade Wilson's (Deadpool's) door [6]. Deadpool finds himself in front of Matthew Macfayden's TVA Agent Paradox, who introduces Deadpool to the MCU. This connection to the TVA and Loki adds a new layer of complexity and excitement to the film.  The Villain: Cassandra Nova  The villain in "Deadpool & Wolverine" is Cassandra Nova, played by Emma Corrin. In the comics, Cassandra Nova is a genocidal mutant with terrifying powers and a dark origin story. She is technically not Charles Xavier's twin, but they did share a womb, and she turned out to be the evil one [18]. In the movie, Nova effortlessly fights off Wolverine with telekinesis, hinting at her immense power. She possesses a wide array of powers like telepathy, mind control, and healing factor, making her a dangerous threat.  Release Date  The movie is set to release on July 26, 2024  Conclusion  "Deadpool & Wolverine" is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the MCU, bringing together beloved characters in a new context. With its connections to the multiverse and the TVA, as well as a formidable villain, the movie promises to be a thrilling adventure.  Stay tuned for more updates and get ready for a fantastic cinematic experience!  Featured Brandon Davis from Phase Zero an MCU Podcast by Comicbook.com Logan Winter Cosplay and his dad Emmanuel BradenSTL Martin of Apotheosis Comics Jose in Puerto Rico Mike AKA Deadpool Fan Message and Photos Fan Reactions from our Screen & Social at Ronnie's Marcus Cinema New Rockstars Deadpool Timeline Explainer ScreenRant Wolverine Variants Breakdown Source: Conversation with Copilot, 7/10/2024  How Does Disney's Fox Acquisition Affect Marvel? - Rotten Tomatoes  Here's Everything That Disney Now Owns From Fox - Screen Rant  Disney closes $71B US deal for Fox entertainment assets  Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) - IMDb  Deadpool 3's TVA & Loki Connections Explained | The Direct  Who Is Deadpool & Wolverine's Bald Villain?

In this week's episode, I take a look at the movies and TV shows I watched and enjoyed in winter 2023. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Brief Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 181 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is December, the 22nd, 2023 and today we're going to talk about the movies I saw in Winter 2023. Careful listeners might notice that I am recording this on December 22nd, which is actually only a day after I recorded Episode 180, which I recorded yesterday. The reason for that is it is the last Friday before Christmas and New Year's today, and I think I'm going to take most of the days between now and New Year's off and spend time with family and hopefully do other fun things. So this episode I was just recording a couple episodes in advance and I believe this episode is going to go out on January 1st, 2024. So if you're listening to this, I hope you have a Happy New Year and however things went for you in 2023, whether good or bad, I hope they are better in 2024. Just a quick update on my current writing projects, since I am recording this episode the day after I recorded Episode 180, not much has changed. I am 40,000 words into Shield of Storms and I hope to have that out in January, which would be later this month (if you are listening to this in January). I am 51,000 words into Sevenfold Sword Online: Leveling and I'm hoping to have that in February. I am 4,000 words into Half-Elven Thief and I'm not sure when that's going to come out. One additional bit of news since yesterday, it looks very likely we will have an audiobook of Sevenfold Sword Online: Creation sometime in January, if everything goes well. So watch and listen for additional news on that. Since I don't really have any other news since I recorded last week's episode yesterday, let's get into our main topic, which is the movies and TV shows I watched in Winter 2023.   00:01:54 Main Topic: Winter 2023 Movie and TV Reviews As always, I will discuss them in the order that I like them from least liked to most liked and as always remember my opinions about this are subjective. I am not a filmmaker. My opinions are often very, very idiosyncratic and just what I happen to think of a particular piece of work. First up is The Crown Season 6, which came out in 2023. The performances were superb, the actors were excellent, the set design and cinematography was excellent. Everyone involved in the show was at the top of their field and did an amazing job. And I still just didn't like this because it felt a bit ghoulish. For one thing, as The Crown has gone on, it's become less historical and more of a messy soap opera with an increasingly casual relationship with what really happened in the events it describes. For another thing, as I mentioned, I found the show's fixation on Princess Diana's death to be rather ghoulish. I am old enough to remember her death in 1997, and even then when I was much younger and stupider, I thought the American media's obsession with her death was weird and disturbing, especially since the media fixation on her was the direct contributing cause to her death. If the media hadn't been willing to pay vast sums for photographs of her, the paparazzi wouldn't have chased her and history would be different. A while back I knew a history professor who said that history only starts between 20 to 30 years ago and anything that happened within the last 20 to 30 years wasn't history yet, it was still journalism. I think that is part of what bothers me about Season Six of The Crown. Most of the people involved in the story are still alive. Writing historical fiction about people who have died, who have died is one thing, especially if they've been dead for centuries or even millennia. Only God may judge of the dead, so what those of us among the living think about them is quite irrelevant. But making up fiction about people who are still alive, even if they are major public figures who have unquestionably made some bad decisions, somehow seems libelous, especially since there have been so many articles in both the UK and the US press detailing all the things that Season Six of The Crown got wrong with the historical record. So to sum up, the show is extremely well done, but I cannot help but feel that it's like excellent work done in a bad cause. Overall Grade: D. Next up is Shazam: Fury of the Gods, which came out in 2023. The first Shazam movie was actually pretty good, definitely in B or B Plus territory. The sequel, alas, was quite a bit weaker. It reminded me of watching a really cheesy sword and sorcery movie from the 1980s: fun to watch mostly, but quite dumb. Following up from the first movie, Billy Batson and his foster siblings are now part of the Shazam superhero family and are handling their powers about as well as you would expect inexperienced teenagers to handle phenomenal cosmic powers, except it turns out that the wizard who gave Billy and his family their powers actually stole those powers from the Greek Titan Atlas and Atlas's daughters are ticked off about this and want those powers back. Since this is a superhero movie, let's just say they're not going to settle this dispute in probate court. The product placement for the Skittles candy in this movie was just over the top. In fact, an entire major plot point hinges on a teenage girl's love of Skittles. One hopes that Mars Incorporated, owner of the Skittles brand, really coughed up for that. Helen Mirren chews a lot of scenery as the chief daughter of Atlas, though she does have a very funny bit with a dictated letter. This isn't her first time in an over-the-top fantasy movie. She played Morgana in Excalibur back in the 80s, though her costume this time covers quite a bit more than Morgana's various outfits did. The movie also leans way too heavily into the rest of the DC movie universe. I'd say it's enjoyable to shut off your brain and watch all the sparkly fireworks and the scenery chewing, but it's not very good. Overall Grade: D+. Next up is Clue, which came out in 1985. Big swing and a miss, but definitely a miss nonetheless. I tried to watch this about ten years ago, but the version I watched then didn't have any captions and all the characters talked too fast for me to understand. But I have a much better TV than I did ten years ago and the caption situation has improved, so I gave it another go. This is a dark comedy version of the popular board game Clue. All the classic Clue characters, Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, and so forth are summoned to Mr. Boddy's mansion during a dark and stormy night. Mr. Boddy gloats says he has been blackmailing all of them, distributes the classic Clue weapons of the pipe, the knife, the wrench and so forth, and then promptly turns off the lights. When the lights come back on. Mr. Boddy has been murdered. Mr. Boddy, to be blunt about it, doesn't seem to have been all that bright a bulb. Anyway, madcap hijinks ensue as the guests try to figure out who the killer was. Three alternate endings are included with the movie, which have a different killer in each one. There were some very funny bits in the movie, but overall it really didn't work and it had some oddly heavy-handed commentary about the Red Scare. Tim Curry was pretty great in it though. Fun fact: he did an excellent turn as Darth Sidious in what was then the final episodes of The Clone Wars animated series, and he also played Arl Howe, one of the chief villains in Dragon Age: Origins, which was one of the last video games I had time to play through all the way before I spent the next fourteen years writing like 147 novels. A remake of Clue has been in production hell for like the last ten years. You just know that Hasbro wants to include Clue in their cinematic universe where Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlett team up with Optimus Prime and GI Joe to fight Megatron and the Monopoly guy or something. Overall grade: C Minus. Next up is Murder Mystery, which came out in 2019. This was unquestionably a dumb movie, but it was a fun, dumb movie. Like it's a C Minus student, but it's a sort of C Minus student who everyone likes, throws great parties, and goes on to have a very successful career as a regional sales manager. Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston play Nick Spitz and Audrey Spitz, a New York City cop and a hairdresser. Nick has failed the detective exam multiple times and has gotten stuck in a rut, and Audrey really wants to go to Europe so Nick takes her to Europe and they promptly blunder into a ‘40s screwball style comedy about the murder of a wealthy European oligarch and his squabbling heirs. A lot of the comedy comes from the good-natured, but boorish Spitzes contrasted with the sophisticated, wealthy Europeans who promptly decided that Nick and Audrey would make the perfect scapegoats to take the fall for the oligarch's murder. Wacky hijinks follow. I do have to respect how Adam Sandler uses his movie productions as an excuse to travel to exotic locations with his friends. Overall grade: C Minus. Next up is the sequel to Murder Mystery, the aptly named Murder Mystery 2, which came out in 2023. It's the sequel to the first Murder Mystery and pretty much everything I said about the first one still applies-dumb, but fun. Overall grade: C Minus. Next up is Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny from 2023 and ah, I was very ambivalent about this movie. To be fair, it was better than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It had some stuff that was really good and some stuff that just annoyed me. The opening sequence with the train during World War II was great- classic Indiana Jones stuff. The Nazis try to time travel to change World War II is a well-established trope of science fiction, but the twist this time is the villain thinks he understands how the time travel device works, but it turns out that he actually doesn't was pretty good. The car chases were excellent as well, both in New York and Tangiers. That said, the legacy protagonist now is an old loser getting lectured by a more competent younger woman story trope was in full force, and it's a really annoying story trope. Disney seems to just adore the story trope: the Star Wars sequels, Secret Invasion, and now Dial of Destiny, and I suspect a majority of audiences agree with me and don't like it, which is probably one of the significant reasons the Disney Corporation lost a metric gigaton of money this year. Top Gun Maverick was a much better example of bringing back a legacy protagonist. Indy also has this oddly out of character speech where he says he doesn't believe in magic, which is rich considering he has literally seen The Ark of the Covenant melt Nazis, the power of The Holy Grail turn another Nazi to dust, and space aliens. So I would say that Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny was half a good movie and half a weak one. Overall grade: B Minus. Next up is the Barbie movie, which came out in 2023. I saw Oppenheimer in the theater in August after I finished working on Dragonskull: Crown of the Gods and a couple months ago I did finally get around to seeing Barbie. Greta Gerwig is clearly a genius because she figured out how to take the existential anxiety of the modern American woman and convert it into $1.44 billion at the box office. If we could work out how to apply the same principles to generating electricity, we would have limitless clean energy, flying cars, and World Peace. Though I suppose the phrase modern American woman really is a facile generalization. Anyway, I really wasn't in the target demographic for this movie. That said, it is quite funny. It's a fantasy comedy that's a bit surrealistic in places. The set design is superb and done with very little computer effects. Apparently so much pink paint was used that it actually caused a nationwide shortage. As many reviews said, Ryan Gosling almost stole the movie as Ken, which was amusing on a meta level because he's played so many grim action heroes. In the third act, the movie really does beat the viewer over the head with the message. But what else can you expect from a Barbie movie in 2023? The funniest line was “How can she call me a fascist? I don't control the railways or the flow of commerce.” The joke about Proust Barbie not selling was pretty funny as well. Maybe if the Barbienheimer meme continues, in the sequel, Proust Barbie can fall in love with Oppenheimer Ken, and they have grim conversations about existentialism and science. Overall grade: B Plus. Next up is Muppet Treasure Island, which came out in 1996. This is a loose-ish adaptation of the classic novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, with many Muppets filling the roles of the characters from the book and Tim Curry playing Long John Silver. Like in the book, young Jim Hawkins acquires a treasure map leading to the buried treasure of a ruthless pirate captain and sets out on an adventure to find it. However, many of the dead captain's former associates likewise want the treasure, so Hawkins and his allies must outwit their foes. This wasn't quite as good as Muppet Christmas Carol, but still quite enjoyable and funny. Overall Grade: A Minus. Now for the runner up of the best thing I saw in winter 2023 and that will be Loki Seasons One and Two, which came out in 2021 and 2023. I liked the first season of Loki, which came out back in 2021, but it was very obviously the first half of the story so I didn't write anything about it. However, I've seen the second season and the completed Loki show is very good. As I've written before, I don't really like multiverse or time travel stories because the stakes are either too vast or utterly meaningless. Time travel stories are a lot like homemade lasagna: if it's not excellent and not prepared by someone who knows exactly what they're doing, you're going to regret eating it. However, Loki leads hard enough into the concept, and the stakes that the show actually works. Like, I think the key question that every time travel story needs to answer at some point is why the time traveler doesn't just go back in time over and over again until she he or she fixes the problem, like remoting a saved game until you finally figure out how to beat the final boss. If you can time loop indefinitely, why not do it infinitely until you get the perfect outcome? Loki actually comes up with good answer to that question that isn't “because the plot requires it.” Anyway, the show starts with the version of Loki who escaped with Tesseract from Avengers Endgame getting captured by the Time Variance Authority. The TVA is basically the time cops. They guard the flow of The Sacred Timeline and prevent any alternative timelines and realities branching off from the main one. The events that make it out of The Sacred Timeline are determined by the Timekeepers, three mysterious figures who rule the TVA from the shadows. Loki manages to ingratiate himself to his captors, soon realizes that the TVA isn't all what it appears or claims to be, and discovers that big trouble is coming. The show had some good character development for Loki and managed to wrestle with what is in fact some profound philosophical questions. Is there a choice between determinism and free will? Must we choose between either brutal tyrannical order or destructive chaos, or is there another way? On a more prosaic level, some reviews said that the finale of Loki bound Marvel to using Kang The Conqueror as their next major villain, which would be a potential problem due to the actor's ongoing self-inflicted legal troubles. That said, I don't think that assessment is correct. In my opinion, the ending resolves the story while leaving things wide open for whatever Marvel wants to do (or can afford to do, given Disney's financial woes) next. Overall, Loki was the best non-Spiderman thing Marvel has done since Endgame. It also achieved one of the rarest feats of all in superhero movies: an emotionally satisfying ending to both the story and a long character arc. Overall Grade: A. Finally, the best thing I saw in Winter 2023 was The Shop Around the Corner, which came out in 1940. It is a romantic comedy starring Jimmy Stewart as Mr. Kravlik and Margaret Sullivan as Miss Novak. Mr. Kravlik is the top salesman at Matusek's, a store owned by the somewhat erratic Mr. Matusek, who kind of reminded me of a marginally brighter Michael Scott. One day Miss Novak comes into the shop and fast talks her way into a job as a sales clerk. Both she and Mr. Kravlik immediately take a dislike to each other, which is ironic because Mr. Kravlik and Miss Novak have been unwittingly corresponding with each other anonymously and falling in love over the last few months, which was something people used to do in the pre-Internet age before Tinder and Match.com. However, big trouble is on the horizon because one of the sales clerks is having an affair with Mr. Matusek's wife and Mr. Matuszek mistakenly blames Mr. Kravlik, who is in fact the most loyal of his employees and the only one brave enough to disagree with him. The movie was both very funny and had a real degree of tension with dramatic stakes. It's a cross between You've Got Mail (which was partially inspired by this movie) and the UK version of The Office. It's a very tight movie, not a single line of dialogue or shot was wasted and the layout of the shots was nearly perfect. In the modern mind, we tend to think of black and white movies as being sanitized and saccharine, but that overlooks that the 1950s and the 1940s were in fact very different periods in American history. Movies from the ‘40s really do have this hard, sometimes cynical, edge to them, without indulging in pointless nudity, graphic violence, or nihilism the way that modern movies often do. Like at one point in the movie, Mr. Matusek tries to shoot himself in despair, only for a teenage boy to stop him. That's dark stuff for romantic comedy. Of course the teenage boy is hardly traumatized by the experience. He definitely leverages the event to get himself promoted from delivery boy to sales clerk. I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. I do recommend you watch it with captions if possible, since sound technology has come a long way since 1940. Overall Grade: A+. So those were the movies that I saw and enjoyed in Winter 2023 and later this year, I will do a roundup of stuff I saw in Winter 2024. So that is it for this week.

Am Ende von Staffel 1 kämpfen sich ehemaliger Villain und Titelheld seiner eigenen Serie Loki und sein Variant Sylvie bis zur End of Time vor, wo sie auf He Who Remains treffen – den Schöpfer der Time Variance Authority (TVA). Der erklärt ihnen, dass er die Entstehung neuer Timelines verhindert, um die Sacred Timeline vor einen multiversalen Krieg zu schützen und warnt sie vor seinen eigenen Variants. Aus Rache für das, was die TVA ihr angetan hat, tötet Sylvie He Who Remains trotzdem. Die Konsequenzen daraus muss Loki nun in Staffel 2, die seit dem 9. November komplett auf Disney+ verfügbar ist, ausbaden. Wenn ihr noch nicht wisst, wie Loki es schlussendlich schafft, sämtliche Timelines und damit seine neugewonnen Freundschaften zu retten, dann schaut euch jetzt noch schnell die 6 Folgen mit je 50-60 Minuten Laufzeit an, denn in dieser Folge von Bada Binge wird gnadenlos gespoilert. Um die verwirrenden Geschehnisse der 2. Staffel besser in Comic-Kontext setzen zu können, haben sich Daniel, Mel und Matthias für dieser Folge Verstärkung von Luc aka Nerdfactory geholt. Doch wie viel von dem, was in den Marvel-Comics passiert, werden wir in den kommenden Jahren im MCU zu sehen bekommen? Und werden wir Loki nach DEM Ende nochmal wiedersehen?

In this week's adventure, the Captain and Thor are at the center of the Sacred Timeline to watch the series finale for Loki!! SPOILERS ABOUND! For All Time! Always! 

This episode contains spoilers for Loki Season One and the first three episodes of Loki Season Two. When we last left Loki Laufeyson, Thor's adopted brother and regular villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he had caused a bit of a problem in The Sacred Timeline. Especially when one of his variants, named Sylvie, killed a figure only known as He Who Remains. In Season Two, Loki partners up with Mobius M. Mobius, time-traveling in an attempt to save The Sacred Timeline while Sylvie tries to destroy it and live her own life. In this episode we discuss the first half of Loki and dig into where it may be going.

Youtube -> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuJCITfFLk14kpsnKRlJtiQLoki time slips to the moment before the Temporal Loom's explosion.[b] Despite his attempts, the Loom always fails as it cannot accommodate the infinite branches. Loki slips to the moment before Sylvie kills He Who Remains,[c] who tells Loki that the Loom is a fail-safe; overloading it protects the Sacred Timeline by deleting the branches along with the TVA. He Who Remains suggests Loki kill Sylvie to save the Loom, which Loki rejects. After speaking with Mobius and Sylvie at different moments in time,[d] Loki replaces Timely in approaching the Loom. Loki destroys the Loom, magically revives the dying timelines and rearranges them into a tree-like structure, committing himself to oversee the branches in solitude at the End of Time. The TVA accepts the growing branches and now tracks He Who Remains' variants, with Mobius reporting one of them has been stopped at Earth-616's "adjacent realm".[e] B-15 becomes one of the TVA's leaders. Ouroboros reactivates a now-friendly Miss Minutes and writes a new TVA Guidebook with Timely as co-author. In 1863, Timely does not receive the TVA Guidebook. Renslayer awakens in the Void as she sees Alioth. Mobius retires from the TVA as he and Sylvie observe Don and Don's children.

The God of Mischief is back with a cascade of temporal chaos in the second episode of Loki Season 2, plying us with the complexity and moral conundrums that have become synonymous with the series. The confrontation at the End of Time has left the timelines in disarray, and as Loki dives into the past in pursuit of Sylvie, we're shackled to a rollercoaster of revelation, moral ambiguity, and yes, an ever-welcoming dose of time-bending befuddlement. Starting off with a flashback sequence in 1977 London, Loki and Mobius delve into an undercover mission at a film premiere for 'The Zaniac!'. A familiar face, X-5 or rather, Brad Wolfe, a once timekeeper now a fame-absorbed actor, crosses their path, kicking off a spiraling investigation against the clock. The juxtaposition of a carefree, spotlight-basking Brad against the high-stakes pursuit of Sylvie offers a glimpse into how tantalizing and derailing the real world can be to those from the TVA. The divergence of X-5 from his original mission illuminates a piercing question: is the allure of an unmonitored life in the Sacred Timeline worth more than the TVA's temporal stability? In a compelling sequence of events, Loki and Mobius take a dual approach to coerce information from the unyielding Brad – a mixture of emotional manipulation and outright coercion, an undeniably dark gray area that nudges our anti-hero toward uncomfortable moral territory. Their pursuit leads them to Sylvie in 1982 Broxton, Oklahoma, revealing a discomforting reunion amidst the golden arches of McDonald's. Sylvie, scarred by past events and seemingly finding solace in her new mundane life, is forced to make a decision as Loki unveils the TVA's calamitous plan to prune all branched timelines. Her choice to align, albeit reluctantly, with Loki offers a poetic glimpse into the complex web of emotions and ethics they each wrestle with. While Loki and Sylvie confront their entwined destinies, Mobius and X-5 indulge in a seemingly innocuous meal, unmasking a far more malevolent TVA plan set against a seemingly lighthearted backdrop. The dualities persist, a theme entwining itself seamlessly within the narrative threads of the series, propelling our characters into a moral and existential quagmire. In a thrilling yet devastating spectacle, despite best efforts, timelines crumble. The lofty goal of maintaining peace and order within the universe's temporal flow begins to unravel, laying bare the calamitous consequences of unchecked power and intervention. Sylvie, who has experienced the brunt of such actions, pivots away, despite Loki's poignant plea, amplifying the complexity and tragedy of their shared journey. Lingering questions remain. That glowing stone, a fragment of He Who Remains' bangle, in Sylvie's possession beckons a new mystery. How will this remnant of the End of Time enigma weave itself into the unfolding chaos? Loki Season 2, Episode 2 skillfully oscillates between lighthearted mischief and dark existential ponderings, expanding the universe in a beautifully chaotic crescendo. The episode leaves us teetering on the precipice of further enigmatic twists, offering glimpses into the multi-layered conflict enveloping both the macrocosm of the timelines and the microcosm of our characters' internal worlds. The hunt for answers unfolds amidst the chaos, ensuring that our eyes remain eagerly affixed to the God of Mischief's next temporal escapade. Stay tuned as we decipher the mysteries, unmask the Easter eggs, and plunge deeper into the bewitching chaos of Loki's multiverse!

SPOILERS! Is it just us, or did it feel like we all missed something? Let's talk about it on this week's LOKI TV TALK... oh! And it's Lorraine's Birthday! Be sure to give her a shoutout!Loki, Mobius, and B-15 find and capture Hunter X-5 on the Sacred Timeline, living as a movie actor named Brad Wolfe. After interrogating Wolfe, they find Sylvie living as a McDonald's employee in Oklahoma. Loki tells Sylvie about meeting her in the TVA's future, but with the TVA. Sylvie enchants Wolfe, revealing Dox's plan to bomb and destroy many timelines at once. Loki, Mobius, and Sylvie stop her operation, but Dox and her allies have already destroyed most of the timeline branches. Dox is captured and some of her allies escape. Casey is able to track Renslayer's TemPad on one of the remaining branches. Meanwhile, as O.B. tries to upgrade the Loom so it can accommodate the new branches, he cannot access the Loom without help from Miss Minutes, or the aura of He Who Remains.Live Recording: https://www.youtube.com/@TVTalkFM/streamsKrewe of Loki IG: https://www.instagram.com/kreweofloki/Beau IG: https://www.instagram.com/incognitbeau/Lorraine IG: https://www.instagram.com/nobodyherer...

Former Lyrical Ones host, Cross Allan returns as a guest and brings it back to the Sacred Timeline. The conversation leads to movie theaters before assigned seating, the inspiration behind having Lyrical Opposition going into film, playing couch co-op, etc.

Today, I talk about the Multiverse and try to explain what some of this stuff means. In this episode, we cover things like: Dimensions, Realities, Realms, Universes, Timelines, the Sacred Timeline, the Gap Junction, and Incursions. It may be confusing, but this is what we Marvel Fans sign up for when we dedicate our time to the Marvel Universe. We place ourselves in a Multiverse…a Multiverse of madness.

"Wow!" - Owen Wilson, but also... Maisie and Tim? Your favorite two dumb bags of trash are back yet again this time navigating Tommy Hiddlesburgh and his magic woman self through the completely not confusing entity that is the Sacred Timeline. Will they kiss? Are the Time Keepers actually Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy? Are we almost done? Fine those answers and more on this very special episode of TMLMM!  

We talk through the Disney+ series "Loki", the TVA, what the Sacred Timeline means and how this affects the MCU going forward. To Infinity and Behind! (that's a timeline joke that doesn't hit)

It's another episode packed full of discussion as we sit down to tell you what to watch or avoid with your valuable time. We discuss The Movies That Made Us Season 2, the debut of Masters of the Universe: Revelation from Netflix and Kevin Smith. Glenn tells us about Disney's Behind The Attraction, CNN's History of the Sitcom and Apple's Schmigadoon! We also give the full season review of Loki and tell you whether you should watch Space Jam: A New Legacy, Snake Eyes: G.I.Joe Origins and Gunpowder Milkshake. All that, plus this week's Awesome Villager. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theawesomevillagepodcast/support

A doctor, a lawyer a college professor and a pilot walk into a bar... causing a Nexus event that results in immediate pruning. This recording is a transcript of this moment in the Sacred Timeline.We are discussing Loki!

On this episode of the FHP, we discuss the third episode of the Disney + series, Loki. Having followed the Loki variant through a portal, Loki finds himself back at the TVA as the variant tries to locate the Time Keepers. Using a TemPad to escape Judge Renslayer's attempts to prune them, the Lokis find themselves on planet Lamentis, whose destruction is imminent, judging by the planet that is on a slow collision course. Loki and the variant - who goes by the name Sylvie - learn a little about each other as they attempt to find a way to get off of the planet before it is destroyed. However, things don't quite go the way they planned, and even as Loki picks up a few new magic tricks, it seems to be not enough to save them. Oh, and Sylvie also divulges to Loki that the TVA is made up of variants that were stolen from the Sacred Timeline. Oops.

We talk about Loki - The Nexus Event and the things you missed if you never read the comics. Learn about the Sacred Timeline, Kid Loki, Kang, and more! Talk with us on Twitter. Links from the discussion… Shivam on Twitter has a great hypothesis for why Sylvie was taken by the TVA. Throg isn't going to happen. This could be the flaming sword from the trailers. This could be the big-bad at the end of the series, but Jarvis sort of doubts it. This could be Boastful Loki from the post credits scene. This is Kid Loki.

On this episode of the FHP, we discuss the series premiere of Loki. This series begins during the time heist scene of Avengers: Endgame, where Iron Man, Captain America, and Ant-Man return to Stark Tower after the Battle of New York to try to take the Tesseract. In the ensuing chaos, Loki uses the Tesseract to escape and finds himself confronted by members of the TVA (Time Variance Authority), who arrest him for "disturbing the Sacred Timeline". This episode introduces us to the TVA and its agents, led by Agent Mobius, who are all on the hunt of a dangerous time variant who is moving through time, killing agents and stealing reset charges. We learn about the history of Time and the Time-Keepers, who oversee all of the timelines and uses the TVA to keep order. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fandomhybridpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fandomhybridpodcast/support

The episode that was released on 6/16 just broke the MCU's 616 - the Sacred Timeline! The Variant has revealed themselves in the second episode of Loki, but the credits suggest not all is what it seems. What else is new? Meanwhile, Loki and Mobius have a couple of key chats that dig deeper into the series' larger themes about identity and free will. Who are we? Do we even have the ability to choose our own answer to that question? We can't answer those questions in a single podcast, but we can appreciate Loki's exploration of them, and we do in this podcast!

We talk about Loki's Glorious Purpose and the things you missed if you never read the comics. Learn about the Time Variance Authority, Time Keepers, Agent Mobius, Wandavision, and more! Links from the discussion… Loki is the titular star of the show Leon Theremin playing his own instrument The Time Keepers created the TVA in the MCU but vice versa in the comics A Reddit user has a nice take predicting the future of the MCU The Loki plot could involve a lot of elements from Avengers Forever The Time Variance Authority or TVA is tasked with protecting the Sacred Timeline in Loki Nathaniel Richards could make an appearance in Loki as Immortus Agent Mobius could be a way for the Fantastic Four to enter the MCU in future shows or features The Null-Time Zone is where the TVA has their headquarters Scarlett Witch, Kang, Immortius and her sons?

The spoiler reviews return as we begin a brand new Marvel Studios series on Disney+! Loki starts off strong with the best premiere episode of any MCU series thus far. The God of Mischief's escape from the Battle of New York landed him in even worse trouble than he faced in the "Sacred Timeline." The Time Variance Authority doesn't mess around. Don't let the sweet Miss Minutes or disarming Mobius fool you. The TVA decides who you get to be and they have the power to keep you on the path they believe is right.

The wait is over—Loki is finally here! Derek and Noah take A Bite Of Loki episode 1: Glorious Purpose. Loki crash lands in the Gobi Desert where he is intercepted by Hunter B-15 and taken to the Time Variance Authority. There, he is stripped in an elevator, brought to the stand in front of Judge Renslayer, and forced to watch his greatest hits by Agent Mobius M. Mobius. Meanwhile, a dangerous variant is wreaking havoc in the Sacred Timeline!______Thanks for listening to A Bite Of don't forget to rate and subscribe! Still want more?
