No. Brad Wolfe/Zaniac was an original character in the comics, so technically Dr Who copied Marvel.Brad Wolf is a nod to the time traveling Doctor who, right? Bad Wolf / Brad Wolf or am I just overthinking?
Also, it's a little podunk town in the middle of nowhere. I could see them still being analogue.teeny tiny nit: pretty sure 1982 is pretty late for there to be analog cash registers at Mickey D's.
(I know, it's a branch....)
I, also would like to have a 1982 McDonald's apple pie. They were still deep frying them then. I kept expecting Mobius to mention that.

It could be they chose that one because something in the story mirrors some aspect of the theme of this season.nit-picks? when they appear in London the barely readable movie poster is for Herbie Rides Again, but in 1977 Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo was coming out. (Could have been a re-release in preparation for the sequel, however)
I must've missed something. This whole Brad Wolf thing just seemed to come out of nowhere, at least for me.
I thought that it as a good episode and JM did a decent job, but he definitely was the weak link in the episode. I can't say that I was all that impressed by him in S1 or in Antman. He just doesn't resonate with me for some reason. The same goes with the actor who played the High Evolutionary in Antman: Quantumania, I thought that he was too similar to Kang in both appearance and personality.Dear me. I'm usually one for finding the positives in most things I watch, but... I don't know whether it was just that I was having a bad day, but I thought Jonathan Majors just gave the single worst performance I've ever seen on screen. Utterly misconceived, tonally inept, horribly cliched (that 'stutter'!) and quite appallingly acted. Like watching an amateur's first ever part. Dreadful on every level, and made even worse by being framed by somany high-quality performances around him.![]()
There 1980s cherry pies were the best. RIP cherry pie.teeny tiny nit: pretty sure 1982 is pretty late for there to be analog cash registers at Mickey D's.

Yeah, I think Jonathan Majors acting is more over-acting. I started realizing this as I just rewatched season 1 of Loki (I decided to rewatch it after watching the first two episodes of season 2 because I couldn't remember a lot of what happened). Majors "chews the scenery" in Creed III as well, and while his acting worked alright in that, as an overly-intense man with a big chip on his shoulder, I feel his range is extremely limited to megalomaniacal characters. Granted, I've only seen him in Creed and the Marvel projects, so I don't know his other work. Maybe that's want his director wanted out of him, so that's what he gave them.I thought that it as a good episode and JM did a decent job, but he definitely was the weak link in the episode.

I feel like Marvel's losing focus on what fans want. While a Loki series would've never been sonething I wanted prior to Thor and The Avengers, they made good choices with the character and casting so that I wanted to see more. The projects now carry less and less interest for me. Like, I have very little interest in The Marvels, couldn't get through the first episode of Secret Invasion, didn't care for The Eternals and thought the last Ant-Man movie was a mess. I actually enjoyed the Ms. Marvel series for the most part, but Captain Marvel was a dud and I didn't find the Monica Rambeau/Photon character interesting in Wandavision, so a movie focused on all three isn't very appealing to me.For me, and only my opinion. Loki is the only thing keeping me hanging on with the MCU.
It's entirely possible that he really isn't the right actor for the role and wasn't the first choice of the producers but was essentially forced on them by the higher ups. They likely went with Majors in part because they wanted a diverse cast and, probably more importantly, he's something of a somewhat well known actor and studio execs have been known to cast the entirely wrong actors for roles solely because of name recognition.The issue could also be him not really being the "right" choice to play the type of character they made He Who Remains in his origin story. The character of Victor Timely is a rather meek, even though he has the confidence to be a literal con(fidence) man, running cons with his non-working inventions (though we find out the only reason they don't work is that he doesn't have the technology in that timeperiod to make them work). He's a scientist who's presumably lived a very sheltered life, which I can see as being the origins of He Who Remains, who lives a lone existence outside of time. But Majors seems the opposite of Timely. He seems more like his Creed character, like a guy that spends 5 hours in the gym every day and hangs out with his bros than a timid scientist.

Yup... & as is becoming more typical, it was false.Wasn’t he just alleged to have severely beaten his girlfriend?
