    someone from high up in Loki production has to be from Ohio

    Mobius is from Cleveland, Renslayer was from a small town in NW Ohio, (Fremont)

    As he mentioned, "Who" is important, so I imagine he can only travel the multiverse to where people he's connected to are. So he can visit his TVA friends and maybe Thor and the rest of his family.

    Ehhh earlier in the series he goes all over the place with time slipping, I think there's an element of it that he hasn't quite figured out but for the time being yeah that seems like the capabilities of it

    Yes I very much doubt they'll go back to that since the system reboot was really just to eliminate the two targets.

    Still fun to consider drawers full of active stones.

    No lie, I wanted S1 Loki to pawn a Time or Space Stone and pull off a surprise escape that apocalypse he and Sylvie were stuck in.

    S2 Loki is a company man and hasn't needed anything like that until it was no longer an option.

    So, because I am an unemployed bastard loser, I went back and double checked for my theory
    I watched the first episode of the season and I honestly recommend any and everyone go back and rewatch Episode 1 of the Season because I am guessing there's a TON of bits of this episode that are going to be relevant in the last episode.

    On the claim I made, Loki DOES go to a place where he has never been and where none of his friends are, namely the War Room, where Mobius and Hunter are with the Judge and General, but Loki goes to a past???? version and he discovers the Kang mural and the Renslayer recordings (I am guessing these are going to be used in the last episode)

    However, multiple times in this episode Loki causes paradoxes, where he changes something and then comes to experience it again, like him pruning himself or him saying "hey" to himself while he's reading the book, also Loki jumps into the future in the temporal loom room where he sees the monitor still has "skin?" written on it, no friends around

    Also OB:
    -Already knows Mobius when he shows up
    -Claims Mobius gave him the nickname (Loki later gives it to him)
    -OB has seen time slipping before

    OB explains that Loki has to rip himself from the timeline to stop time slipping and explains the consequences of not doing so are like "If you fall into a black hole and you turn into spaghetti"

    When the phone rings, and Loki sees Sylvie at the elevator, Loki is pruned (he doesn't know from what, we later realize it's him)

    seriously rewatch Episode 1, I have some ideas about Episode 6 but god I hope it isn't a big pointless CGI fight

    Loki continues to be my favorite marvel property. Literally have gotten chills in the last couple episodes. Amazing direction. It's almost a shame we're not getting feature films.

    You'd need either an Infinity War/Endgame style split or to cut half the content of the series. While there's definitely some moments that could be sped up (answer the phone!) others not so much

    You know, Loki is a way for Marvel to get out of their Jonathan Major's problem. You got Renslayer. You got Sophie. Both played by actresses good enough to carry a movie without the baggage. You don't have Perlmutter vetoing female villains anymore. I personally would go for Renslayer, just because. But with some twisting Sophie can do the trick. Hunter B-15 can step up if you twist it far enough.
    Have one of them decide that they, not Kang should be the She-who-remains, supreme ruler of the timelines. Have them kill the council of Kangs and start a major temporal crisis. Either to rule it or to reshape it. Explain it with that while the Kangs where villains, they where always predestined to lose. They where part of the timelines, while She-Who-Remains is willing to destroy them to get what she want. Even the name Kang the Conqueror is not Kang's original name, either in the comics or this show(Victor Timely). So have her kill them and claim the title: I am Kang now!

    One particular thing is that we still don't know who Renslayer is on the Sacred Timeline. Sure in the comics she is Princess Ravonna, but why would she alone keep her name in the TVA? She was obviously important for Kang winning the war. So what if she is Natalie Richards! Dun,dun dunnnnn! (Nathaniel Richards is the comic counterpart of Kang). That she was the real Kang all along!

    Then we have Loki trying to convince the Avengers that nKang is threat, but he is the well-known god of lies. He helped create the Avengers in the first place! Conflict across several phases. It would even be an excuse to bring back some originals or x-men if you need too.

    Edit: B-15, not X-15. sorry.

    I'm down for Echo just to see more Kingpin, who by the trailer is properly vicious.

    I thought Echo's actor was fine in the little bit of Hawkeye she was in, curious to see how she does as a lead.

    Also, from the trailer,
    Hey, it's a blink and you miss it shot of Daredevil.

    The problem I have with the Echo trailer is that they're selling it on Kingpin, and not Echo. There's almost no indication in the trailer as to what the story is, what her story, goal, purpose is.

    That gives me concerns.

    It doesn't look bad, visually, at least from what we can see; I just am not sure how invested people (me) will get into a relatively unknown character, if you can't even communicate why we would want to watch a show with that character, without having to use another character entirely to sell it.

    I'm enjoying Loki very much so far but with how episode 5 ended, I'm sad we'll likely never get this joke.
    Mobius: What do you need to tell me?
    Loki: Look, it's absolutely imperative that you-

    (Loki involuntarily timeslips. Mobius looks around confused. A door slams open and Loki walks in.)

    Loki: I just time-slipped?
    Mobius: Yeah. You were about to tell me something?
    Loki: Right, it's-

    (Loki involuntarily timeslips again. Mobius looks exasperated. Loki steps out of a storage closet behind Mobius.)

    Mobius:...Were you in there the whole time?
    Loki: Yes.
    Mobius: For how long?
    Loki: 30 minutes. I've been stuck doing worse things for that amount of time.

    Last night, I dreamed I had one more conversation with my paternal grandfather. It was very odd, I was sitting in some generic diner by myself, and all of the sudden, he was there.

    He was a much younger version of himself than when I last saw him. We couldn't figure out how to have a meaningful conversation, it was very awkward, then he got up and left

    I'm feeling very melancholy about it.

    Last night was the day of the dead, too. Extra spooky time for that dream.

    I think you hit the nail on the head: Vincent D'onofrio as Kingpin is well-know actor with a established character. Alaqua Cox is an unknown with two credits in her IMDB page: Hawkeye and this. I mean Iman Vellani had just Ms Marvel and the Marvels and she did fine. However when you got D'onofrio on tap, why not take advantage of that? Echo is E-list even in the comic Marvel Universe at best. Kingpin is A-list outside of it. He is one of the most famous villains Marvel has.
