Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that.

yeah. My standard for finales is: must be surprising and yet inevitable, simultaneously. Cannot pull some bullshit out of your backpocket: gotta drop enough clues but add a good twist so it's not predictable.
I found this to be sourced from the backpocket. Kind of disappointing, despite the good character work done by all parties.
Still not completely sold on altruistic Loki, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I feel like this ep was punishment for all the fans who ever complained about every Marvel series ending with a CGI lightshow battle.
"Don't like big blowout fight scenes? Fine, we'll have the heroes spend half the episode sitting quietly and listening to the villain explain the plot. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES"

I did think, for about 30 seconds or so, that Miss Minutes was the actual mastermind behind the entire TVA. I would have been impressed if Marvel went with that.
My brother reminded me this morning that about 3 weeks ago he texted me a picture of his Kang action figure (which of course he has), with the text "There are no Timekeepers; only Kang." He's very pleased with himself for calling that one.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
for about 30 seconds or so,
Me, too. I would have preferred that to what we got.

Tep, me too, and I would have LOVED that outcome.

I figured, with the whole castle at the end of time thing, that it HAD to be Immortus/Kang behind the TVA. But man did they find a blah way to go about that reveal and the end of the season.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! Yesterday morning, my cousin texted me that she had already seen negative things about the finale, and my response was literally "I wasn't that big on the WandaVision finale, or the end of Black Widow for that matter! So I won't be surprised if they end with a huge fight for no good reason"
