Loki - Ouroboros

The First Season of Loki was at its best when it was wild and chaotic and kept Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and the audience off guard. Things got a bit problematic at the end when events had to be explained. Unfortunately still locked into a Kang (Jonathan Majors) storyline, the show does get back to basics with Loki time-slipping through different eras inside the TVA. The episode introduces Ke Huy Quan as Ouroboros who is incredulous at Loki’s predicament but still helpful in offering a quite dangerous way he could be saved by removing himself from the timeline with the help of Mobius (Owen Wilson) who manages to not get his skin ripped off.

The third episode of Secret Invasion is only a marginal improvement over the first two episodes of the series It may reveal Gravik‘s (Kingsley Ben-Adir) big plan of creating Super-Skrulls but it doesn’t do much else. It teases us about the relationship between Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Varra (Charlayne Woodard) without exploring it.

Inspired by the Marvel comic storyline of the same name, Secret Invasion provides a mini-series where Skrulls have infiltrated the globe and are actively working to take control of the planet for themselves. Given their introduction as refugees rather than terrorists in the film which also introduced Carol Danvers, the show has to work four times as hard to try and position the Skrulls as bad guys. Two episodes in, by giving us Skrulls who largely stay in the shape of a single human, rather than quickly jump as they please or remain in their natural state, each limiting their abilities (and the show’s budget), the results are mixed

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur – The Borough Bully

The second episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur gets literal when, after earning praise from everyone else in the neighborhood, Moon Girl (Diamond White) becomes obsessed with a troll’s negative comments online eventually tracking them back to an actual troll who she’s unintentionally being feeding with her attention nearly bringing down a bridge. There’s a nice, if pretty blatant, message about how to deal with negativity online in “The Borough Bully” as Moon Girl eventually sees the error of her ways and disarms the troll by no longer engaging in his negativity.
