![]() ![]() Unfortunately, it didn’t happen that year as the Kings were too good for the Rangers. However, a playoffs cannot be truly great without a Stanley Cup Final that tosses your emotions like rags in a spin cycle. The last of those years had the epic Chicago/Los Angeles Western Conference Final, two rounds after the Kings came back from 3-0 down to shock San Jose. That’s one away from the record, set in 1994 - equaled in 20. Game 7 Rangers/Carolina was a dud, unfortunately, but it was the sixth deciding game of these playoffs. We’re two days into the Stanley Cup Conference Finals, and here’s my question: could we be witnessing the greatest playoffs ever? James Neal still playing, and scoring, in the AHL playoffs.Why a lot of people will be keeping an eye on qualifying offers this off-season.Taking a look at the free agent coaching market.Still, Kang looked very interested in all the smooching he doesn’t get out much. If ’90s romantic comedies have taught us anything, it’s that true love means having coordinated daggers and occasionally attempting to stab each other. Loki and Sylvie’s sword fight was more romantic than their kiss. Sylvie is a strong candidate for best hair (wig?) in the MCU. That said, if you had unlimited power and complete control over time, would you decide to spend your days in a purple cape-coat? I think not.Ģ5. Majors’s choice to play his part like someone who has been stuck in quarantine isolation for all eternity and subsequently gone bonkers is inspired. I’m sure being brought to his knees by Ravonna Renslayer was also on his bucket list, but it would have been nice to see him cruising through the water, enjoying a momentmajors of bliss.Ģ4. Speaking of voyeurs, I hate to think that this episode will end without Mobius having his Jet Ski fantasies fulfilled. Given that the Nathaniel Richard/ Kang / Immortus variant claims to have seen all and watched every permutation of Loki’s reality, does that mean he’s a voyeur, or just an enthusiastic fan of reality television?Ģ3. Granted, things don’t get overly esoteric- Doctor Strange is better at unpacking philosophy-but the Time Variance Authority’s commitment to hard determinism would make Pierre-Simon Laplace proud.Ģ2. Beneath the plot of Loki is a great big philosophical debate over free will. There is nothing more soothing than the sound of Owen Wilson’s Texan drawl.Ģ1. Baron Zemo would also like “Montero.” It is known.ġ9. Even the comparatively realistic Falcon and the Winter Soldier had Baron Zemo dancing his heart out to EDM in a European nightclub.ġ8. Surprisingly, there hasn’t been a big musical moment on Loki. Majors’s office reminds me a great deal of Agatha’s lair on WandaVision. Were there to be a snappy “It Was Kang All Along” song or a cameo from the divine Kathryn Hahn, I would not object.ġ7. If ever you see someone biting into a Granny Smith onscreen, know they’re responsible for everything wrong with the universe.ġ6. There’s something menacing about watching a bad guy eat, especially when they’re chowing down on an apple, which seems to be the fruit of choice among evildoers and overly confident characters. ![]() Majors’s L ovecraft Country costar Wunmi Mosaku has been stealing scenes all season as Hunter B-15.ġ5. It may be completely different from the one that is going to be in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. As there are (seemingly) multiple versions of every character on Loki, this incarnation is only the first that we’ll see. At last, Jonathan Majors pops up! I am still in mourning for Lovecraft Country’s demise, but his presence in the MCU-as ultimate badass Nathaniel Richards aka Kang the Conqueror, no less-warms my heart. Still, I’m pretty sure Loki would enjoy “Montero.”ġ3. ![]() His version isn’t what kicks off Loki’s season finale instead, we get the standard preshow scroll through comic-y scenes. The Marvel Studios logo has become so iconic that Lil Nas X teased his latest album by creating a parody of it. Below, a list of everything that crossed my mind while watching.ġ. If ever there was a target demographic for such absurdity, I would be it, and the season-one finale more than met my expectations for mayhem. While there’s plenty of phase-four exposition and references to the comics, there’s also an evil cartoon clock, romantic comedy subplots, alligators, alternate timelines, and a mustachioed Owen Wilson. A time-traveling dramedy about Norse deities who make poor life choices, Loki crams an immense amount of information and action into six episodes. You can’t make a show about the god of mischief unless you’re willing to get weird, and Marvel’s Disney+ series Loki is just that.
