Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Alfre Woodard had a role in Luke Cage and a different role in Civil War.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Enver Gjokaj played Sousa in Agent Carter and SHIELD and also played a cop in Avengers, but the latter was little more than a cameo.

Mahershala Ali, Marvel’s new Blade, was also the baddie in Luke Cage.

...and a baddie in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

I'm REALLY liking Owen Wilson as a foil for Loki.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I dig the chillax energy Owen Wilson brings to the proceeding. I also really like the retro SF aesthetic of the show -- some Brazil, quite a bit of Doctor Who, a dash of Jean-Pierre Jeunet. It's weirdly comforting.

I enjoy Loki in small doses and Hiddleston is always fun to watch, but the whole "I don't mean to hurt people, I do it because I have to" part totally made me enact Thor's "did you though" meme, nose wrinkle and head tilt and all. I mean obviously they had to make him somewhat sympathetic for the show to work, but I was like, been there, done that, ridden on that woobiefication train and kinda over it. That said, I was quite entertained and happy to be on board for various time travel shenanigans.

That's a cocktail made to order for me! Maybe he can go to the City of Lost Children.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hm. I'm not sure what I think yet, but there's some good potential.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Okay, well. My reaction to the first ep was largely "Do they know not EVERYTHING has to be Brazil?" with a side order of "Oh god this really is going to be a solid hour of Previously In The MCU isn't it."

In theory this show has all of the elements I generally like shows to have, but...meh. It's not working for me so far.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

It went pretty hard on the Brazil aesthetic, but I honestly loved the way it looked.

I was tickled to see Pillboi (from The Good Place) turn up.
