An excellent episode.
Though this episode is still building up Kang as the big menace (the after credits scene from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) is part of this episode), the main villain of this episode is Miss Minutes. This episode does a wonderful job of making a silly cartoon clock into a believable villain in a superhero (or supervillain) show. In fact, she is actually very creepy and even a bit terrifying here. This is good storytelling. In this episode, we also get to see one of Kang's variants here and this is quite well handled. It also leads to a wonderful look into how he became the villain he would. There is also a very intelligently written scene between Loki and Sylvie here. This is also a very atmospheric episode. The World's Fair is a wonderful setting, and it is beautiful realized on screen. This is especially because of its wonderful lighting. While this is not an action heavy episode, the action scenes here are truly wonderful. This episode also has some truly wonderful and surprising twists towards the end. The ending itself is fantastic.
My only real problem with this episode is that Jonathan Majors' vocal performance as the Kang variant is too over the top and distracting. I preferred his more subdued performance in the finale of last season or Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023).
A wonderful episode.
