There’s a big TVA reunion afoot in the third episode of Loki season two.
There are positives and negatives to this trip back in time.
Its great to have Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Tara Strong back as the ruthlessRenslayerand Miss Minutes respectively.
Miss Minutes old timey black and white look is an incredible visual flourish.
Lokis I dont know her attitude got a real good laugh out of me regardless.
Timely himself is the real problem.
Its just way too pantomime, making Oscar Isaacs turn as Steven Grant inMoon Knightseem almost reserved in comparison.
It actually reminds me of Kiefer Sutherland inDark Citya bit.
I love that movie, but I can understand why people hated his performance in it.
This one may just be divisive!
Much more entertaining is Miss Minutes continuing transition from helpful AI to unhinged cartoon bunny boiler.
Strong is able to fully flex her notable voice talents in these scenes.
Its a real rollercoaster to hear her despairing monologue descend into fury and panic.
I applaud this arc for Miss Minutes, personally.
I guess well have to wait and see how angry she gets about it next week.
