Wkly Hit List, 10/7/2023

It's the first Saturday of October and we're in for lots of fun this month, with a doubt. We're still monitoring the progress of the SAG-AFTRA strike very closely, and we've told that talks between the Screen Actors Guild and the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers are due to "ramp up" this coming Monday. Sources say that "talks this week were mainly focused on bringing SAG-AFTRA up to speed on what went down with the Writers' Guild of America." Now, it all comes to down to what the Actors and Hollywood Studios can come to a new agreement, klicKNet will keep you posted as always. For now, we wanna turn our attention to the 5-Day Rounder for this week which contains shocker after shocker after shocker after shocker after shocker, take a look.

KlicKNet is in production right now of editing a blooper reel of the teen comedy short film NickCam, which was written, produced, directed and edited by our the boss, the young man who put KlicKNet back in 2015, Kwame Alexander. We have determined that there might well over 11 or 12 minutes of funny gags, mishaps, giggles, and moments we think are too funny to leave. The blooper reel is so big that it has to be broken up into two parts, so KlicKNettars can be the judge of which part is funnier. We hope to release this reel on Monday, so please just when we premiere it on YouTube and Instagram. Right now, it's time for our Sneak Peek of the Week, focusing on the upcoming Marvel Studios Film The Marvels, in theaters November 10th.

The Marvels | Fight | In Theaters Nov 10

Our Inside Scoop this week is going to recap the first episode of Marvel Studios' Loki Season 2, streaming now on Disney+. People on social media have said since the first episode dropped that "Marvel is Back," and indeed it is. All it really needed was the God of Mischief to spice things up again, now let's see what he's up to. WARNING: This piece may contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen Episode One of Loki Season Two yet, then stop reading now. If you would like to continue at your risk, be my guest.

When we last left Loki in the Season One Finale, he found Mobius and B-15, or so he thought. He tired to warn them about "He Who Remains," but Mobius and B-15 couldn't recognize Loki. Once the Season 2 Premiere began, we find Loki being chased by the TVA who attempt to apprehend him, but we soon discover just as Loki that he's uncontrollably warping across time in the Time Variance Authority headquarters. So the Mobius and B-15 that didn't recognize Loki because they're from the past. When Loki time slips back into the present, he finds Casey who directs him right to Mobius' present self in the TVA War Room.

Mobius and B-15 are trying to explain the situation to General Dox and Judge Gamble  the emergency council, and why pruning so many branches in the scared timeline is not the right course of action. They reveal that the Time Keepers are fake and that all the workers in TVA are entirely. Meanwhile, Loki times slips back into the past, where finds the War Room  which is completely empty, though he does find a voice recording of "He Who Remains" and Ravonna Renslayer, certainly there's a connection between. Loki also find faces of "He Who Remains" craved in the walls of the War Room. Suddenly, he time slips back to the present's version of the War Room where he reunites with Mobius and warns him of the threat of different variants of the TVA's real creator.

To try and fix Loki's time slipping problem, Mobius takes him to go meet TVA technician Ouroboros – "O.B." for short, who deduces that Loki's time slipping is a phenomenon possibly caused by the instability of the timeline branches – turning into the multiverse – all of this caused by the death of "He Who Remains." As Loki jumps back and forth between the same location in the past and the present, his conversation with O.B. triggers memories in present-day O.B. and allows the duo to acquire a device – called the Temporal Aura Extractor – that past O.B. put together for such situations.

O.B. then instructs Mobius to approach the Temporal Loom with the Temporal Aura Extractor device to extract Loki from the time stream as Loki prunes himself. This is a very intense scene, for one would assume that someone's gonna die in such a dire situation. As Mobius stands outside with the Extractor device in front of the time stream, his space-like suit in ripping, and O.B. has no choice but to close the gates that are protecting the TVA from the Loom. Loki time slips to the future, where he briefly encounters Sylvie before he is pruned by someone unseen at the last possible second. 

Mobius successfully pulls Loki from the time stream in the nick of time, we don't know if Loki's time-slipping has been fixed, but now he and Mobius begin to 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, whatever she has planned, it can be good – unless she just wants to try the Quarter Pounder with Cheese with a side of medium fries and a large Coke. We'll have more on Loki Season 2 next week.
