The Loki series
Started shooting all sorts of things for fun lately. The camera is an α7 IV — shoot in RAW, edit in Lightroom, that kind of thing.
Thought this would be the episode where they meet Ravonna’s original, and instead it turned out to be about a Kang Variant!
Never expected to get the beginning of He Who Remains this time out!
And a chicken-and-egg thing where people from the future are the ones who made him lol
Figured Miss Minutes wasn’t an artificial intelligence at all and that there was a mastermind behind her, but no — she’s an AI that can program herself~
And that’s how she ended up falling in love with He Who Remains…
That scene where she comes on to Victor Timely was scary lol
Probably because it’s set in 1893, but going full retro like that really hits
Ohhh…! Think about it properly and the device in the Ant-Man end-credits scene was the Temporal Loom!! Ah, missing that one hurtss
The others look set to matter in the next episode too — the processing-speed doubler, that mysterious round device!!
Ravonna gets sent off to the furthest point in the future by Sylvie, and it looks like she and Miss Minutes are going to be scheming something~
What is Ravonna’s secret, then? She seems to be boiling with rage, though lol
