I dunno, it kinda makes sense that that's the prevailing attitude when they all work at a place with literally infinity time but with no timeline itself (when everything is working). It would take anybody a few major whoopsies before it finally settles in that they really don't always have time for pie.
Like, I have speculation about details about characters or other things, but the potential plot feels like damn near a blank slate.
I'm sure that bugs some people, but I love it!

i'm not sure what he'd do in the larger MCU. Maybe a Coulson type role? Just be kind of a glue character to show up when needed to indicate connections the audience should make.
That would leave Loki himself in a weird situation, where he doesn't have a ton to do in the larger MCU, but a linked character regularly showing up. We will see how the next two episodes go, but regardless of the outcome I'm not sure they have plans for Loki or even the TVA, beyond this series. The premise makes it too convenient to have this massive things happen in the context of the show, but ultimately having no bearing on the movie side because what happens in Loki can always just be explained as "it happened and the MCU has always been the result."
Which is a bummer, but unless their stance on how important the D+ shows are prior to Series 2 being developed, it isn't surprising; and also is how I'm tempering my hopes for the conclusion of this season.
But yeah, the MCU definitely has a charisma vacuum in it's main properties that haven't been retired or otherwise ended. They caught lightning with RDJ, Evans, Boseman among others, and they've really not done a great job of filling those gaps with actors/characters/IPs that pull anyone in. And while Loki has a surplus of those things, I'm not sure how many people would show up if they put them in theaters. Even then, though, the D+ shows haven't exactly been consistent there either.

Spiderman: No Way Home? He's the one who warns Dr Strange against casting the memory spell.
And Multiverse of Madness.
I’m starting to think that losing Soucy and (maybe to a lesser degree) Geekie has made a bigger difference than most people estimated. We have very few physical guys left. Jamie Oleksiak has the potential to be a monster, but he doesn’t throw his weight around nearly as much as you’d expect a guy nicknamed “Big Rig.”
It shows when Tye Kartye and Yanni Gourde (5’9, 170, for reference) are the most serious scrappers on your team.

It's also a good lesson in saving SFX budget for cosmos-endangering kabooms when you can clearly describe what is happening with context clues, sound design, acting, and disturbing clock animation.
That fucking clock.
Yanni is awesome for his grit.
The Kraken's biggest problem is that they caught lightning in a bottle last year and that's impossible to repeat. They overcame poor goaltending by having almost 10 guys have career best in shooting percentage. Those averages are coming back down to, well, average, so the kraken are scoring fewer goals. And they didn't fix the goaltending so they're still letting in all of the goals they were last year.

"The Nottingham Panthers are truly devastated to announce that Adam Johnson has tragically passed away following a freak accident at the game in Sheffield last night," his team said in a statement. "The Panthers would like to send our thoughts and condolences to Adam's family, his partner, and all his friends at this extremely difficult time.
"Everyone at the club including players, management and ownership are heartbroken at the news of Adam's passing. Our thoughts are also with the fans and staff of both clubs, especially those who attended or were following the game, who will be devastated following today's news."
I haven't seen the video and no plans to but from Twitter comments at the time from spectators it apparently took 3-5 minutes to have medical personnel on the ice and when they arrived it was 1 person with what looked like an amateur first aid kit.
If that is true it's unconscionable. Even in our minor hockey games here we have designated safety people who get onto the ice in seconds for a serious injury.
That's a terrible injury so maybe it would not have affected the outcome but it's still a cold reminder that you gotta be prepared for anything with sport.
Broke my heart to lose him
They were all ridiculous

I think you might be onto something here.
1: Loki has pruned himself from the timeline. They don't outright say it but I think the implication is that meant all Lokis.
2: Timely had himself potentially dispersed among all potential timelines.
The show could be telegraphing its course with the names. Ouroborus, Mobius. Concept like ends and beginings are meaningless in infinite loops. Both produce each other. Maybe He who remains title was not because he was the last Kang in the war, but the only Kang left in time to begin with. If he pruned himself from the timeline, then any resulting branches wouldn't ever produce a Kang. Getting Timely to be torn apart by the time vortex might have put Kangs there to begin with, but with the ultimate destiny of He who remains being produced and pruning himself and it goes round and round.
Except maybe this time he got Loki to take himself out of the equation so future timeline TVAs won't be threatened by him.
I can't tell you how bad I wanted Loki to not prune himself last episode. I wanted him to create a paradox, as I think that's the only thing that is going to break the chain.
Also Im going to throw out there (and follow up on later, I'm out of time now) that I think O.B. is an Android, and I think Mobius doesn't need to see his life on the timeline because he's always been in the TVA, or rather grew up there and never had a life outside. BUT, this explosion will give him that life, it'll relate to jetskis, and feed the loop.

That is true
But also I’m not ready to admit it
So excited.
