‘It’s the sash, right?’ — Thoughts on Episode 5 of Loki

Episode 5 of Disney+’s Loki was freaking awesome.

Once again, this is a SPOILER-free zone, and yes, I’m an episode behind.

So please reciprocate the SPOILER-free-ness cos I haven’t seen the last episode yet!

Two caveats to SPOILER-free:

1. If it’s in a trailer, it’s fair game

2. Queer IDs are not SPOILERS.

I really enjoyed this episode.

I couldn’t help but feel that a whole series based around this episode would be something I could get on board with.

Give me 6 hours of Loki literally arguing with themselves against a backdrop that uses a post-apocalyptic wasteland aesthetic, and I would be there!

I think that’s partly because of the potential for character-driven-ness, partly because of the banter, and partly because of the batpoop elements that we get in the best ways in this episode.

(I love batsh** bizarre elements #SorryNotSorry)
