The big reveal

The Loki series is probably the best thing Marvel did post-Endgame, pre-First Steps

Acting phenomenal, character development phenomenal, storyline phenomenal, new character introduction phenomenal, preparing us for the next phases of the universe overly phenomenal

There’s one thing that has always overridden that for me, however. Loki provided a (relatively) believable theory for one of the enduring mysteries of our age: DB Cooper

As amazing as so much of that show was, it’s hard to top that explanation for us conspiracy theorists

Just sad Kang means "nothing" now :\\

Ubergoober1662026-01-06 19:05

As one of the few who actually liked Kang as the villain for the multiverse saga I have to agree. The only thing that would make the pivot from Kang worth it to me, is if Doom's introduction is him wiping out the entire council of Kangs to show what a threat he is and explain in-universe why Kang just kind of vanishes.

FitMonitor92772026-01-06 19:31

I'd love an intro like that, if they don't go that route, i hope they bring back Kang in the future somehow... "Victor Timely" and "He who remains" were such good variants, and on top of that, the post credits in ant-man left me so hyped...

DuckyHornet2026-01-08 03:23

Majors was *so good* everytime he popped up. We got robbed of a genuinely interesting villain in the sense of seeing more variants and how they interact with everything

JarethCutestoryJuD2026-01-06 16:43

WWBN/Thunderbolts > Loki but its a healthy 3rd

Strung_Out_Advocate2026-01-06 17:12

Honestly, I put Agatha top, Hawkeye and Loki right below it, and everything else feels like the actors put legitimate effort into, but everything else is just whatever they had to do to get it out.

Equivalent_Formal2552026-01-06 17:31

I dosagree

He_Who_Complains2026-01-06 17:51

As a fellow mystery/conspiracy theory fan, I too loved the DB Cooper reveal and geeked out so hard at it along with the attention to detail they went with it too! (Like the random dollar bills escaping the bifrost as he exited)

Giving superhero answers to urban legends and mysteries is something I really wanna see Marvel embrace more. Although never strictly said, I like to headcanon that the Skrull spaceship hiding in Earth’s orbit from Captain Marvel is/was the [Black Knight Satellite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Knight_satellite_conspiracy_theory).

Little_Setting2026-01-06 21:47

Super super cool. I think there's some more fun devunks in Eternals watched it a long ago so can't remember...

iwannalynch2026-01-07 11:52

> the attention to detail

There was some stuff that they didn't adapt faithfully... IRL Cooper took off his clip-on tie before he jumped, was said to have a non-descript North American accent (leading some to believe he may have been Canadian), and he jumped from the plane at night and I do believe it was raining too.

He_Who_Complains2026-01-07 13:51

True, but all of those could be put down to the unreliability of eye witness accounts.

I feel satisfied that the most memorable elements of the story (the delivery of the note, the bourbon, the found notes) were all depicted accurately.

AmaterasuWolf212026-01-07 13:48

Wasn't DB Cooper on nkghttime tho?

Sylar_Lives2026-01-07 14:12

You also have HYDRA being the Illuminati conspiracy brought to life.

The Eternals is also heavily influenced by old mythology like the Book of Enoch and the Epic of Gilgamesh. Hell the movie basically establishes that God is very real and very terrifying. Christians in the MCU would be absolutely losing their shit.

Sparrowsabre72026-01-08 15:03

Isn't one of the Eternals literally called Gilgamesh too?

OnlinePosterPerson2026-01-08 18:25

And Thena

makeitflashy2026-01-07 18:36

Gave us what Mad Men never did

Golden-Ratio2026-01-08 07:55

I was hoping the entire series was going to be him tripping through time and playing a role in famous historical events and urban legends

Sparrowsabre72026-01-08 15:05

Same I actually did not much care for Loki but that's down to my expectations. I expected Loki being basically villainous/anti-hero Doctor Who/Legends of Tomorrow but it wasn't that at all. They spent very little time doing any real time or space travel in s1.

jamesonv8gt2026-01-08 12:32

To add to this, I loved how XMen First Class gave some fictional context to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

You forgot to mention the banger soundtrack by Natalie Holt.

Personally, I love the interconnectivity and characters from WandaVision and Agatha All Along, which will soon be joined by Vision Quest.

__MOON_KNIGHT___2026-01-07 06:51

BANGER.

I mean honestly one of the greatest scores and themes of alllllll time.

Puzzleheaded-Put-8002026-01-08 11:41

I wish they’d brought her for doomsday and secret wars

FX1142026-01-06 22:23

Don't be ridiculous, everybody knows that DB Cooper was actually Adam West.

xxFlippityFlopxx2026-01-07 02:30

This was such a great addition to S1 of Loki. I laughed my ass off!

Gsampson972026-01-07 03:11

As someone in the UK I had to Google what this was even referencing. I'm not a fan of obscure things that are not known outside of the US put into media with no explanation at all.

Killbro_Fraggins2026-01-07 06:42

I feel like a whole show dedicated to urban legends being just super hero weird shit would be fun. Like how The Comedian was on the Grassy Knoll.

No it’s from Loki season 1 episode 1

catchthetams2026-01-07 15:45

I was thiiiiis close to not hitting send because I was like, "I know I've seen this, I just don't remember where" and don't want to broadcast my lack of knowledge.

However, I did watch a lot of that season with extra curricular, so it all runs together.
