My favorite detail I found in Loki Episode 6: among the opening audio cacophony of famous MCU soundbites, you can hear a baby crying.

Of course, this isn't just any baby.

It's Baby Loki. They pulled the audio from the moment Odin held him in Thor (2011). I love this show.

All this and so, so much more in our full episode breakdown. Check it out:

This detail was super fun to discover. When I heard the cry, I thought, there's no way they just pulled a random baby sound effect. So I do what I always do, rewatch old MCU clips. Billy and Tommy's births in WV? Wait, no, duh, it's gotta be... and sure enough...

Thanks to everyone asking how I do an Easter Egg breakdown! Here’s what I do:

Pull up the highest quality version of the content!

Prelim watch and outline!

Rewatch, frame-by-frame, and compare to other movies!

Then light the candles and bleed a pentagram on the floor… (1/9)

He arrives not with a burst of flame or a growing cackle from the shadows, but from a whisper in my heart that was there from the start.

“What dost thou desire?” He rasps.

“The truth,” I whimper.

Silence.

Hours pass.

Did He hear me? I repeat:

“The tru—“

As soon as my mouth opens, a swarm of locusts gushes out.

As I cough out the final one, I see they’ve assembled into a message on the blue dungeon wall:

A-23 .

(One locust is out of formation.)

Some more Sunday night TFATWS sleuthin'! Sharon Carter may be shady as hell, but she did NOT spend *several years* hidden in Madripoor building a criminal reputation. Endgame clearly showed her among the Blip victims. She was gone for 5 years, and since then, back for six months.

BUT... Sharon might not have *really* been gone, like Scott Lang, right? Nuh-uh. Scott was trapped *in another dimension*. If Sharon was hiding on Earth, the Avengers would have found her, like they found Hawkeye, or how poor Mr. Harrington eventually found his runaway wife.

But the CIA could have faked it, right? Nuh-uh. As shown by Tony and Rhodey blowing off Thaddeus Ross, and by Cap hiding Bucky in Wakanda, the Avengers' intelligence is wayyy more airtight than that of the US government.

This is an EXCELLENT question. When it comes to authorial intent, I always try to acknowledge it, but I don’t consider the author to be the final authority. Art’s meaning ultimately belongs to the masses. If a conflicting interpretation is backed by evidence, let’s hear it out.

Often my takes are disputed. That’s OK. For Tenet, I argued that two characters are actually the same person at different ages of their life. Despite the evidence, some argue Nolan didn’t intend that. I would argue he loves to play coy and keep tops spinning. So why not?

Tolkien rejected the interpretation of LOTR as an allegory for WWII. But as a man of his time, could he properly acknowledge how his time and place influenced his work? Seeing its political parallels don’t *replace* the Beowulf-influenced myth Tolkien intended to tell.
