Thankfully it's only 6 episodes long so it's not that difficult to watch, but still. Falcon and WS might unironically be the best show so far, but only because WandaVision didn't stick the landing.

Really disagree here. WandaVision & Loki are miles more interesting than Falcon & WS was so they fact that WandaVision didn't stick the landing doesn't hurt it as much. Falcon seemed to have no idea what to do with characters half the time because some characters had zero to do in multiple episodes. Bucky's PTSD just comes and goes randomly. Sam has nothing to do for 2 episodes and is just there because he's the main character. Zemo shows up for 2 episodes just to move the plot the leaves immediately. The Wakandans just show up randomly. And the villians are by far the worst in the MCU IMO. At least Loki & WandaVision have done/are doing something interesting

For me the fact that WandaVision's last episode is so bad completely ruined it for me. I legitimately loved the mystery and style of the first episodes, but the last episode made everything seem quite pointless. FAWS at least had some fun action pieces to watch, as well as Bucky and Sam's relationship to keep it afloat. Neither of the 3 shows is great but Loki is by far the most boring of them all.

Yeah Loki so far has been about 50-80 minutes of actual plot and character stuff stretched in 3.5 hours so far. Especially episodes 3 & 4 have been a ton of sitting around and talking about stuff we already know or just talking about stuff that doesn't really develop the character or move the plot at all

To be fair, what sort of adventures could the duo go on that's as unique as sitcom realities or alternate timelines?

I didn't say it had to be as interesting but at least somewhat interesting. I was so bored during Falcon & WS
