Whatever else you think about The Marvels, good, bad, or ugly, it has a problem: It actively makes the previous Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show, Secret Invasion, even worse. It undermines all of that show’s storylines. It openly contradicts a lot of its plot points and cliffhangers. And it makes it impossible to reconcile the Nick Fury … Read more
Loki Season 4 only has two more episodes to go, which means that we’re nearing the end of the story, which also means we’re getting close to seeing how this show is going to set up Avengers: Secret Wars — the epic conclusion to Marvel’s Multiverse Saga.

So that’s it. Ahsoka is done. And it might not be the finale you were expecting.
