Hark! A Variant
Maybe you've heard of that terrible place
Where the time-noncompliant are dragged by their hair
Maybe you've heard of that mythical place
That we call the TVA (hello, you're there!)
[...]
We find you totally innocent...
Which is the worst crime of all...
This episode has everything: Lightning McQueen, loaded hand touching, Munch's Make-Believe Band's weirdo cousins, a Loki who is also Thor, and Richard E. Grant in a yellow Kermit collar. (You know, like that thing Kermit the Frog has around his neck? That's a Kermit collar.) Who's that over by the bar? It's Inspector Javert, and he's citing Dr. Manhattan for public nudity.

What if she isn't a variant at all? Megan and Maureen are here in a special Big Apple-icious episode to unpack some of the theories about this mysterious new character and what she means for the story at large, alongside other such pressing questions as "who's really running the TVA?" and (perhaps most importantly) "what if Loki drove a Hyundai?" But first: congratulations to Loki on coming out before the end of Pride!
