I'm very intrigued to see what will become of this. Wonderfully enough though, it'll for sure give us some more development for Loki, and I'm very excited for that!

I thought it was a fun fan theory for how the show might end.
Plus the comics it mentioned are pretty fun.

Oh wow, this does seem a very interesting direction for the series to go in!

Bringing in Kid Loki is a way to recast Loki and keep him in the MCU.

And I also love how these shows are laying the groundwork for the multiverse so as not to confuse the general public. So they should be able to understand the concept of seeing a younger version of Loki, ya know?
YES FINALLY. Can't believe Loki is the first openly bisexual main character in a MCU project. I'm so happy!
I actually really liked this episode. It was slow in terms of not moving the main plot, but it went by pretty fast. I feel like I blinked at then suddenly Sylvie is walking away from the exploding ark like it was that good to me.
I wonder where in Loki's timeline Sylvie exists, or if she just lived a completely divergent life. She's not like Sylvie in the comics where she was her own person (who was created by Loki) but clearly states she used to be Loki until she changed her name.
Also I don't think the TemPad is broken. I think Loki is playing the long con to try and understand Sylvie, and make her desperate to work under him. That or Mobius made sure to put a tracker on Loki...I just don't think Loki is this stupid and clumsy. He's had his fair share of mistakes and he is childish at times, but he's a schemer. What better way to prove his superiority than to trick himself?
My favorite reveal in this episode besides BI LOKI AHHH is that the TVA agents are all variants from Earth. It makes me wonder how variants get chosen to be processed and turned into minutemen and TVA agents versus being reset.
Also, it makes me even more suspicious of Mobius (who I missed this episode, but the Loki and Sylvie interactions were fantastic so everything worked out). Somebody had the theory he is a Loki variant and that would piss me off because it would imply Loki can't get along with anybody that isn't himself or his family lol, but idk his interest in Loki's timeline and all Loki variants seems like it goes well beyond the normal scope of what a person should be interested in. I think maybe I'm looking at it wrong? Maybe it is that there are probably a bunch of Mobius variants working for the TVA all on assignment at different times so they never once meet or interact (like how there are a bunch of Mobius in the comic).
Oh my god, what if Mobius' original self became a variant because of a jet ski accident? MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE HE PICKED UP THE MAGAZINE.
Okay, my joke theory aside, I think there was a lot to chew on in this episode.
This show has 3 more episodes. They can absolutely stick the ending here.

I enjoyed it but not as much as the others so far. It's a fun character building episode but feels like a diversion we spent too much time on. But the next episode will persuade me.
I rather have Sylvie show us her past than talk about it. It's a problem shared with the Flag-Smashers. They needed a flashback episode like what the Netflix shows did for their villians. But with Sylvie I feel like less of an oversight and more intentional.
The name Sylvie is a reference to another Thor Villian named Enchantress. So Lady loki using that name is a way to tease the audience.
The movies squandered the Asgardians so I'm hoping this show could use those characters again.

This episode was a bit of a slower burn episode again. There's a few things I quite like. The banter and dynamics between the characters come of as quite sibling like in my opinion which is rather fun. With both Loki and Sylvie being tricksters, I'm always questioning what I see and what's really going on behind the scenes. It feels like everything is potentially a scheme or a trick with their powersets.
I'm still curious as to where Sylvie and Loki split off from each other. It sounds like it was pretty early on seeing she didn't learn magic from Freya like our Loki did and doesn't seem to remember her parents too well. She also makes it sound like she has been on the run for a long time, though if it were from childhood than that'd have to be a really long time considering how Asgardians age so slowly.
I find the way they handled Sylvie interesting. She react to being called Loki, like if someone had dead named them. Considering in one of the shots the report for Loki listed them as being Genderfluid, that strikes me as odd. I know anyone Trans or not can have a deadname, but it does strike me more as a Trans thing than a genderfluid thing.
The Bi reveal/confirmation is also pretty cool and gives us a Queer character that's believable and has been with us from almost the start of the MCU. Is the fact that said character is a villain not necessarily the best, yeah, but if we get more lgbt+ characters I won't really care. Though I wont count this confirmation quite yet, until we get a more on screen representation of his bisexuality or genderfluidity, right now it's more theoretical.

The first two episodes were kinda more interesting than the third, but third was still a good episode. But that one reveal in the third episode 
.
Anyways this one might be my favorite out of the three marvel shows so far. Full disclosure tho this is coming from a non Marvel fan, I didn’t come into any of these shows with having watched all the marvel movies. Havent watched age of ultron/ragnarok, etc, and forgot about a bunch of the other movies

Genderfluid people will sometimes change their names to go with what they feel aligns with themselves more closely. It is a trans-adjacent gender identity because some genderfluid people will identify as trans, but they can also identify as strictly non-binary and/or other permutations. It just depends on the person and what they feel fits them best. I would say that Sylvie’s reaction to being deadnamed is very fitting for her character.
Makes sense. I could imagine some choosing a more unisex/gender-neutral name that fits no matter the gender they're currently experiencing. On top of that we don't know what she went through, so there could also just be some hurt tied to the name Loki, she wants to distance herself from.
You mean 3 episodes
“To go” means the amount that’s left which is three.

@AdrianXXII if it helps, Loki's more of an antihero these days. Even in the comics he hasn't been a villian in the past decade.

Fair enough. Loki has occupied the murky grey zone between Anti-Villain and Anti-Hero for quite a while now. On top of that, we are most likely to get more representation, so one of the first being a bit more villainous/antihero isn't too bad. I just kind of wonder how Marvel and Disney will do it. Usually these things are done in a way you can cut around, will they continue to go about it that way?.
