Executive Produced by: Bryan Andrews, A.C. Bradley, Brad Winderbaum with Kevin Feige

Head Writer: A.C. Bradley

Episode Written by: A.C. Bradley and Matthew Chauncey

Episode Directed By: Bryan Andrews

One small change can ruin the holidays!

On Christmas Eve, Happy Hogan is assigned to oversee preparations for the annual Christmas party with Darcy as well as security in the Avengers Tower, along with Director Maria Hill after Jarvis has been taken offline for debugging. But the annual holiday party is crashed by Justin Hammer and his henchmen Sergei and Rusty who lay siege to the Tower for Tony Stark's technology and Bruce Banner's Hulk blood sample.

Attempting to save the Hulk blood sample, Hogan, working with Maria Hill and Darcy under the call sign “Puffin-2”, is accidentally injected with it, causing him to slowly transform into a purple Hulk-like monster, though he manages to retain his intelligence. 

With the Avengers busy with the festive engagements and J.A.R.V.I.S. inactive, Hogan contacts Darcy, who is tasked to find an A.I. to reboot the Tower's system; but Darcy and Maria Hill are captured by Hammer, Sergei, and hold them hostage in the penthouse to lure Hogan into the open. A fully transformed Hogan confronts him and destroys the hijacked Iron Legion robots. 

Justin Hammer takes control of Stark's Hulkbuster armor, Veronica. As Hogan battles Hammer the Avengers arrive who mistake him as the aggressor until corrected by Darcy and Hill. With Hammer subdued by Hulk Hogan, Tony Stark deactivates Veronica and Hammer is taken into custody. Hogan is praised for his efforts as he and the Avengers resume their Christmas party before Thor arrives and wonders what he missed.

One small change can affect the every realm!

In 1988, Yondu takes Peter Quill to Ego, who urges him to help his expansion across the universe. 

Six months later, after ravaging several worlds, Quill returns to Earth. In response, Peggy Carter and Howard Stark assemble a team composed of Bill Foster, King T'Chaka of Wakanda, Bucky Barnes, Dr. Wendy Lawson, and a reluctant Hank Pym, who brings his daughter Hope van Dyne along. 

After a scuffle on Coney Island, the team detains Quill with help from Thor. As the team discusses their next move, Van Dyne connects with Quill over music and realises that he returned to earth to come home. Hope frees Quill, who travels to Missouri. Meanwhile T'Chaka, Foster and Thor aid Carter's forces holding back Ego, who has travelled to earth to continue his Expansion. Meanwhile, Pym and Lawson encounter Quill visiting his mother's grave, and a sympathetic Pym convinces him to stand against his father. 

The Winter Soldier —under the influence of his Russian handler —prepares to assassinate Quill until Stark reminds him of his best friend, Steve Rogers. Just as Ego overwhelms the heroes and attempts to obtain his seed, Pym and Quill arrive in time to stop him, with Quill using the cosmic energy of the Celestial seedling to destroy Ego's avatar form. 

The team, minus Bucky Barnes, celebrates their victory before setting out to confront Ego's planetary form.

Five years later, after Xandar is sealed off from the universe to protect itself from Ronan's forces, Nebula discovers the body of Yondu Udonta and receives orders from Nova Prime to investigate. She learns that Yondu located the codes to open the planetary shield and enlists Kree soldier Yon-Rogg to infiltrate the Nova Corps mainframe to destroy them. 

Yon-Rogg betrays her, revealing that he and Nova Prime plan to give up Xandar to Ronan. Nebula survives an execution attempt by Nova Prime's men, subsequently enlisting casino owner Howard the Duck and his subordinates Groot and Korg to stop Nova Prime. 

During their fight, Nebula reveals she realized Nova Prime's defection when she assigned the mission to her and altered the code so that the shield would close again as the Dark Aster enters Xandar, destroying the ship and killing Ronan.

We're back in the cinema for the 34th MCU movie The Marvels. The funny and action filled team up between Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and Photon.

Synopsis for our The Marvels 2023 Review

Written by: Nia DaCosta

Directed by: Nia DaCosta, Megan McDonnell and Elissa Karasik  

The collapse of the Supreme Intelligence leads to a civil war among the Kree species in their home world of Hala. The conflict renders the planet barren as it loses its air, water, and their sun begins to die.

Dar-Benn, the new leader of the Kree, retrieves one half of the Quantum Bands, of which Kamala Khan has the other half. Dar-Benn harnesses the power of the Band, and pairs it with her staff, Universal Weapon, to tear apart a jump point in space with the aim of stripping the resources required from planets linked to The Annihilator, aka Carol Danvers, to repair her home world of Hala. The resulting anomaly is discovered by the Strategic Aerospace, Biophysics and Exolinguistic Response or S.A.B.E.R.

Meanwhile, Nick Fury, now residing at the S.A.B.E.R. space station calls in Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau to investigate a jump point anomaly near the space station. When Rambeau touches it, she, Danvers, and Khan switch places through teleportation. The switching causes the three to fight each others' Kree enemies, leaving the Khans' house destroyed in their wake.

As the three women return to their original places, Fury and Rambeau visit Khan on Earth. As Khan eagerly demonstrates her powers, she switches places with Danvers. The group surmises that the light-based powers of Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and Ms Marvel are linked through quantum entanglement, and that they switch places when any of them use their powers at the same time.

The three join up at a Skrull refugee colony on the planet Tarnax, where talks of resettlement have dissolved. Dar-Benn rips open another jump point, which siphons the atmosphere of Tarnax into Hala to try and restore its air. After a hasty effort to evacuate the colony, Danvers, Rambeau, and Kamala form a team informally referred to by Kamala as "the Marvels". 

Danvers informs the others of the legend that the Quantum Bands had been used to create the jump point transportation network; the three became entangled due to their mutual contact with its energy when Dar-Benn disrupted it, with Dar-Benn's repeated rupturing of jump points causing instability to the network and endangering the universe.

Dar-Benn reaches the planet Aladna, where she tears open a jump point to draw the ocean water into Hala. Her final plan is to take the energy of Earth's sun to restore that of Hala. The Marvels fight and subdue Dar-Benn, but she steals Kamala's Band and uses both bracelets in conjunction to tear open another hole in space. The effort in doing so destroys Dar-Benn and leaves behind an opening into the multiverse. 

After Khan reclaims the Bands, she and Danvers use their combined powers to energize Rambeau, allowing her to close the hole from the other side, but leaving her stranded in the process in the other universe. Danvers flies into Hala's sun and uses her power to restore it.

The short-lived team-up with Danvers and Rambeau inspires Kamala to seek out other heroes and form a new group, starting with Kate Bishop. 

In a mid-credits scene, Monica Rambeau awakes in a parallel universe where she is greeted by an alternate version of her mother Maria (Binary) and the mutant Hank McCoy aka Beast of The X-Men.

We chat all about the finale of Loki Season 2 "Glorious Purpose" in spoiler filled detail. An epic and poetic end to the show and the character after 14 years of adventures in the MCU.

Loki 206 Glorious Purpose Podcast

Head Writer: Michael Waldron

Episode Written by: Eric Martin

Episode Directed By: Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead

Loki time slips to the moment before the Temporal Loom's explosion. Despite his attempts, the Loom always fails as it cannot scale up to accommodate the infinite branches. 

Loki slips again, this time to the moment before Sylvie kills He Who Remains, who tells Loki that the Loom is a fail-safe; overloading it protects the Sacred Timeline by deleting the branches along with the TVA. 

Loki tries to stop Sylvie from killing He Who Remains over and over again but to no avail. As he attempts to stop Sylvie again, He Who Remains freezes her and tells Loki there is only one way to save the Loom is to kill Sylvie, which Loki rejects. 

After speaking with Mobius and Sylvie at different moments in time, Loki replaces Victor Timely and goes out into the temporal radiation to destroy the Loom. As the timelines begin to wither Loki uses his magic to revive the dying timelines. Pulling the branches together as he makes his way to He Who Remains’ throne, he arranges them into a branching structure resembling the Worlds Tree. Sitting atop of time on the throne of He Who Remains he commits himself to overseeing the branches in solitude at the End of Time. 

The TVA accepts the growing branches and now tracks He Who Remains' variants, with Mobius reporting one of them has been stopped at Earth-616's "adjacent realm". B-15 becomes one of the TVA's leaders. Ouroboros reactivates a now-friendly Miss Minutes and writes a new TVA Guidebook with Timely as co-author. 

In 1863, Victor Timely does not receive the TVA Guidebook. Renslayer awakens in the Void and encounters Alioth. Mobius retires from the TVA. He meets Sylvie at his home and observe Don and his children for a few moments. As Sylvie leaves him behind, Mobius says he’s going to stay a little while longer.

We've reached the penultimate episode the season as we discuss Loki 205 Science/Fiction. A bit of a roundabout episode and set up for the finale but with some absolutely beautiful moments. Derek and John chat all about it in Spoiler Filled detail.

Loki 205 Science/Fiction Podcast

Head Writer: Michael Waldron

Episode Written by: Eric Martin

Episode Directed By: Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead

In the aftermath of the destruction of the Temporal Loom, Loki is left alone in the TVA headquarters as everyone else has vanished. As he explores the building trying to locate any of his friends he begins time slipping again where he meets a later version of himself, as the TVA headquarters, now with a failsafe initiated by a rudimentary Miss Minutes, begins to break down and spaghettify around him. 

Loki escapes as he time slips to numerous branched timelines at different times where one by one he meets his former friends Casey, Hunter B-15, Mobius and O.B. who have been reset to their original lives as Frank Morris, Dr. Verity Willis, Don and Dr. A.D. Doug respectively. But none of them have any knowledge of the TVA nor any recollection of Loki.

But Dr A. D Doug aka O.B does believe his story and is willing to help Loki time slip to the TVA before the explosion to try and prevent the catastrophic events from happening. But Loki is unable to control his time slipping. Doug proposes Loki gather everyone present at the explosion back together. He theorises that their collective temporal aura may hold the key to sending them back to the right time and place. Doug builds a rudimentary TemPad using a TVA Guidebook that Loki kept. 

Loki succeeds in gathering everyone else to Doug's workshop except Sylvie, who has retained her memories. At a bar over a couple of bourbons, Sylvie refuses to help Loki, as she just wants to live her own life, and she gets Loki to admit his true motivation: he wants his friends back and fears being alone. Sylvie leaves the bar heading to her local record shop as Loki heads back to inform Doug, Don, Frank and Verity that they are no longer needed. 

But when everything in Sylvie's timeline begins to spaghettify, she goes to help Loki, but no sooner there, Doug's workshop also spaghettifies as the branched timelines begin to die, as do Frank, Doug, Don, Dr Willis and Sylvie. 

As Sylvie disappears Loki finally controls his time-slipping, returning to the point she arrived. Declaring that he can "rewrite the story", Loki focuses on what he really wants and time slips back to the TVA Headquarters at the point just before Victor Timely disappeared.

Loki 204 Heart Of The TVA Podcast

Head Writer: Michael Waldron

Episode Written by: Eric Martin, Katharyn Blair

Episode Directed By: Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead

Miss Minutes reveals her big secret to Ravona Renslayer. In the past, Renslayer commanded He Who Remains' army; he proposed that Renslayer lead the TVA with him, then had Miss Minutes erase the memories of Renslayer and all other TVA employees. 

Back at the TVA, as the Temporal Loom reaches catastrophic failure, Loki and his allies attempt to use Victor Timely and O.B's Throughput Multiplier to fix it. It is revealed that the sources of OB's and Timely’s knowledge are each other, creating a predestination paradox. 

Renslayer and Miss Minutes attempt to take over the TVA, approaching the detained X-5, Dox and her loyalist Minutemen for help. Only X-5 agrees; Dox and her loyalists instead choose to be crushed to death by a gleeful Miss Minutes. 

As he’sinvestigating a hot cocoa machine with Hunter D-90 as protection, X-5 prunes his guard and kidnaps Victor Timely, taking him back to Renslayer and Miss Minutes. While staging a rescue, Sylvie and Loki encounter his time-slipping past self; Loki prunes his past self, telling Sylvie she’ll understand. 

To prevent her from taking full control of all tempads and the TVA itself, OB resets the system deactivating Miss Minutes and the TVA's magic-suppressing devices. While Loki distracts X-5, Sylvie uses her magic to enchant him, forcing him to prune Rovona Renslayer. 

Timely is rescued and is able to restore access to the Temporal Loom, but the Loom's increased temporal radiation spaghettifies him before he can launch the Throughput Multiplier. The Temporal Loom explodes, with the blast wave spreading towards Loki, Mobius, Sylvie, B-15, Casey, and OB in the TVA.

Trying to locate Renslayer, Loki and Mobius travel to 1868, but unable to locate her they travel to a new branched timeline in 1893. The new branch was created by Miss Minutes interference in 1868. They quickly locate a confidence trickster called Victor Timely who is advertising a way to harness time, through his Temporal Loom prototype.

Victor sells his fake invention scam to an investor named Robber Barron, but soon has four interested parties after him. Loki and Mobius, need his aura to fix the Loom; while Renslayer and Miss Minutes, want him to take his variant's place with them at his side; while Sylvie has arrived to kill him to prevent his rise to power but is thwarted by Loki; and Robber Baron wants his money back. 

Victor manages to escape most of his suitors, as he takes a boat to his Wisconsin laboratory with Miss Minutes and Renslayer, but Renslayer is sent overboard in a lifeboat on the advice of Miss Minutes after she looks for a partnership with Victor. But Miss Minutes fairs little better after she professes romantic love for him and is deactivated by Victor using a TemPad. 

Victor is not alone for long as Renslayer, Loki, Mobius, and Sylvie arrive at his laboratory. Sylvie gains control of the situation threatening Victor with her blade but allows Loki to take Victor back to the TVA, then sends Renslayer to the Citadel at the End of Time.

Looking upon He Who Remains' corpse, Renslayer activates Miss Minutes, who divulges that she knows a secret about Renslayer that He Who Remains has been keeping from her.

We're back with a brand new premiere episode for Loki 201 Ouroboros. We discuss this first episode in spoiler filled detail so make sure you've watched it before listening along.

Loki 201 "Ouroboros" Synopsis

Head Writer: Michael Waldron

Episode Written by: Eric Martin

Episode Directed By: Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead

Loki discovers that he is uncontrollably warping across time in the Time Variance Authority (TVA) headquarters. In the past, Mobius M. Mobius and Hunter B-15 don’t recognise Loki and the TVA attempts to apprehend Loki. In the present, Loki reunites with Mobius and warns him of the threat of the many variants of He Who Remains, the TVA's creator. 

Still warping between different times, Loki and Mobius go to meet the TVA technician Ouroboros "O. B.", who deduces that Loki is "time slipping", a phenomenon possibly caused by the instability of the timeline branches caused by the death of He Who Remains. 

To stop Loki's time slipping, O. B. instructs Mobius to approach the Temporal Loom with the Temporal Aura Extractor device to extract Loki from the time stream as Loki prunes himself. The endeavor is filled with risk as Mobius realises that his skin could be flayed from his body, while Loki could be turned into spaghetti and lost to time.

Loki time slips to the future, where he briefly encounters Sylvie before he is pruned by someone at the last possible second. In addition, Loki discovers that the Temporal Loom will go critical in the future. Mobius successfully pulls Loki from the time stream, and the two of them set out to find Sylvie, just as many TVA hunters are ordered by General Dox to search for her. 

In a mid-credit scene, Sylvie enters a branched timeline in Broxton, Oklahoma in 1982, and visits a McDonald's restaurant where she wants to try everything.
