Loki season 1 is still my favorite of the TV shows, so I’m excited to for this season 2.

[–] Ryan213@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No "Marvel burnout" for me. I don't watch all of them. LOL But the first season I enjoyed so I'm hoping this will be just as enjoyable.

[–] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't have burn out either and I watch all the movies and shows, hell even play the games lol this shit looks dope as fuck and I'm excited for it.

[–] Ryan213@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On a side note, dude, why are you swearing at me??

Your handle....I have Filipino friends. LOL

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I do watch all of them and I’m not burnt out, but I’ve been disappointed recently.

I think the arrival of Disney+ and their push for content is what’s hurt Marvel’s quality. Hopefully with Disney’s pullback on that they can take their time with them more.

I’d like Disney to take more of a “if you have a story for a show, you have a home for it,” approach rather than the, “we need you to make this many shows,” approach they’ve been using. Fingers crossed.

So, for now at least, Majors is still playing Kang.

[–] There1snospoon7491@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Unless this was filmed before any Major change could be made.

[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Major change o7

Although this trailer definitely downplays his presence. They can still switch him out with a variant played by another actor at any time I guess.

[–] Chetzemoka@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Prediction: this will feature Majors in a capacity reduced by post-production editing and fill in reshoots with a new actor as the most dominant Kang variant who will carry through to the Phase 5 projects.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or they use the series to do some kind of timeline restart that among other things changes the face of Kang. They could also use this to erase some inconsistencies between the Netflix series like Daredevil, the ABC series like Agents of SHIELD and the mainline MCU. I also wonder if the "timestepping" is inspired by or even related to the glitching in Into/Across the Spiderverse, it looks remarkably similar.

[–] Chetzemoka@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oooh...it does resemble glitching. I didn't think of that. Would make sense though, to bring together all of these ideas of how traveling the multiverse works.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

In Across the Spiderverse, when the multiverse is explained, the first visualisation also looked very much like the sacred timeline branching out in Loki season 1.

[–] Chetzemoka@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Now that I did catch. Between that and a certain cameo that I can't figure out how to mark as a spoiler (lol), it's clear they're linking the two storylines.

[–] DoctorTYVM@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That wouldn't surprise me at all. This was the last project that they had in the can with him. Once it's out they can make some structural changes and quietly drop him

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

When I saw Ke Huy Quan, my jaw dropped so hard that it popped

[–] SharpieThunderflare@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I am really excited for this. Loved Loki S1, and the general feeling of "what the heck is going to happen" I got watching it with friends for the first time.

[–] Jarmer@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago (7 children)

With the general Marvel burnout as high as it is, I'll be amazed if this does well and we see a season 3.

I personally used to be the biggest marvel fan there was, and now you couldn't pay me money to watch these terrible shows and movies.

[–] loobkoob@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

I think the majority of "Marvel burnout", for me at least, is on Marvel's side. I still want to enjoy Marvel's releases, it's just that their quality has dropped so much that I can't do that right now. And it's something Marvel has acknowledged, so it's something they'll likely improve on in future projects that haven't entered production yet, at least.

But yeah, I'm personally still in the "I want more good MCU" camp.

[–] emptyother@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its still better quality on the writing than the average comicbook story. And I still enjoyed the comics. So doubt I gonna tire of it before its so unpopular with the average person that Marvel can't afford making them any longer.

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Remember that most comic books are written for kids. Thats been my experience at least, with very few exceptions

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This one looks like it will pull me back in.

[–] Chetzemoka@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I'm not burned out on Marvel. Marvel made some bad production decisions during the pandemic. I'm pretty confident that the quality will improve moving forward into Phase 5

[–] li10@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

I’m utterly burned out on all things Marvel.

Despite it originally being the best thing about the movies, I feel like the interconnected cinematic universe is holding stuff back at this point.

Everything needs to fit in, and everything ends up being samey because of it.

[–] xNIBx@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I was never a marvel fan, i always thought their movies were ok 7/10(with the exception of guardians and thor 3). But i enjoyed loki season 1 and this season 2 trailer looks good and interesting.

In comparison i thought the latest ant man was almost ai written, full of cringe inducing cliches. Definitely one of the most mediocre movies of all time.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I just canceled my D+ subscription after Secret Invasion, it was that bad for me. I really liked Loki season 1, warts and all and I'm on the fence about signing back up again just for s2, but after that travesty of a show that was Secret Invasion and the string of other bad Marvel shows that Disney has been shoveling out, I'll probably sit this one out til the reviews come in.

It's not that I'm burned out on Marvel or Star Wars, I'm just burned out on bad, predictable writing. I feel like Andor really opened my eyes to what we could be getting, but we're not. Everytime I watch a Marvel or Star Wars show now I compare it to that and Secret Invasion just made me cringe the entire time. Everything felt so bad, things just happen for no reason, characters do things that make no sense because the writer needed them to do a thing, and the entire plot is just sort of this non-sensical mishmash of half-thought out ideas.

[–] Uguluk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Damn this looks really good
