Super-stoked after watching this trailer. I think Owen Wilson is going to kill it playing Owen Wilson playing himself. He's pretty much playing the same character he did in any and all Wes Anderson movies he's acted in.
Gotta admit, I wasn't a big fan of Loki and had low expectations for this show, but now my expectations are high.
What's going to be interesting is this is not the Loki of Infinity War, who has spend years developing and maturing and seeking a kind of redemption. This is the first Avengers movie Loki....can't wait to see how they tackle that.

Disney+ Loki series is the latest film to take on time travel, but not in the way you think. If you recall, Loki (played by Tom Hiddleson) debuted in the first Avengers film. In Endgame, Loki died, but thanks to the film’s time travel storyline, he is now alive and in possession of the Tesseract which he used to escape before being thrown in Asgardian prison. The show follows THAT Loki and his interactions with the Time Variance Authority (TVA) – an organization that polices time.
Michael Waldron, head writer on the show, created his own rules, which expand on the time travel ideas that Marvel has already set in place. He spoke to Collider as he tried to explain the organization (in the least confusing way possible) and what fans can expect to see on the show.“I think that what’s fun about the TVA is it takes something remarkable, like time travel, and really packages it in a very soulless, sort of bureaucratic way.” He says. That’s what was exciting to me, as a writer, was to take something so magical and just make it utterly soulless.’”

Early reactions sound very promising. Some people have seen the first two episodes (51 minutes and 54 minutes in length).

ACK! ACK ACK! ACK!!!
A friend of mine is one of them, said it was great. Owen Wilson shines. Also adds “Hope you guys liked the movie ‘Holes’.”

Thank you for posting this. I was having the hardest time figuring out how the hell Loki was alive and what the premise was, lol.

1 thing I think will throw fans off is this isn't the "reformed" Loki from Ragnarok. This is fresh off of failing to conquer Earth for Thanos Loki from Avengers 1

Well that was definitely more far out there than I expected. Some great character development and acting from Hiddleston. I hear the 2nd episode is even better.

That was a LOT of fun. With WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Solider I was in no matter what but the first episodes were not like that.
Yeah I have almost no doubts this series is going to have some massive implications on the rest of the MCU.
I know most people expected Wandavision to have serious implications and to set the stage for the multiverse...
I think Loki is pretty clearly heading in that direction.

Rebooting myself
for the first 1/2 of the episode--some California beach bums were laying on the beach, smoking some big fatties and saying "what we need is more exposition"
The DB Cooper part was hilarious.

I loved it. That would make a great 'what if?' story right there.
After the episode I tried to explain Loki, time travel, Asguard and Heimdall to my wife.
Then I added in the DB Cooper part.
She said she'd never heard of him.
Well they did have to explain the TVA and which Loki this was so casual fans/watchers of the show understand this is not the Loki that dies.
I thought it was a great start for the show, showing the power of the TVA etc. Also like the juxtaposition of this all powerful Authority that can travel time to fix it and has bombs to reset the timeline and basically tasers that fan burn someone in seconds, like a certain Grandmaster I guess, but also uses old cathode tube displays and dot-matrix printers!
