Season 2 takes a deep dive into more ‘Loki’ lore

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:55:18 GMT

For newcomers to Disney+, what must they know to enjoy Season 2 of “Loki,” Marvel’s latest miniseries?Do they hit Marvel history books?  Binge watch every Loki appearance since his debut in the 2011 “Thor”?“I would say the only prerequisite to enjoying ‘Loki’ Season 2 is to watch ‘Loki’ Season 1,” laughed Marvel Creative Exec Kevin Wright in a Zoom interview.The series, he noted, was always planned to be told in two seasons, each with 6-episode stories.“We’ve told so many stories and they reached a lot of people but I’m sure there were people going, ‘How do I pick up in this?’ We wanted to give a new entry in that first episode of Season 1 where we catch up with Loki — with the past 10 years of movies at that point.“You can come in, watch ‘Loki’ Season 1 and go straight into Season 2 and you will really enjoy it. And if you enjoy it, you can go even deeper by diving into the past movies. But they certainly are not a prerequisite to enjoying this.”What’s really remarkable...

Editorial: Note to Biden – college borrowers aren’t only ones struggling

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:55:18 GMT

Someone needs to tell the Biden Administration that college students and graduates are not the only Americans bearing financial burdens.Like rents and many mortgages, student loan payments were paused during the pandemic. But even after the COVID health emergency was declared over, Biden and his fellow Democrats insisted that college borrowers still required a time out.The reasoning was that loans were exorbitant, inflation is high, paying back their debt means they would have to postpone home ownership and other milestones of adult life.But life is no picnic for those who lost their businesses during the COVID shutdowns and struggled for financial footing, people who’ve seen their paychecks flattened by soaring inflation, folks who’ve worked hard but had their savings wiped out by medical bills, and parents who dipped into their retirement nest eggs to foot the bill for their kid’s college educations.They’ve had to make payments on the debts they owe without...

Burnham & Silverglate: Representing unpopular clients amid intolerance

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:55:18 GMT

As experienced criminal defense lawyers, we have often found ourselves arguing to a court that a client’s conduct, although controversial, was not criminal. Such cases arise most often when a statute is vague or overly broad. But we have rarely had a case where the social and political pressure to prosecute has resulted in an indictment as far off the mark as that brought by the District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, Fanny Willis, against our client John Eastman, and 18 others, including the former president of the United StatesThe extent of the pressure becomes evident when the crux of the charge is considered. Eastman has been charged under a vague and sprawling law known as the Racketeer-Influenced Corrupt Organization, or “RICO,” statute. In enacting this law, the Georgia legislature copied a similar federal law enacted to enable the Department of Justice to prosecute entire Mafia families. In those cases, it was difficult if not impossible to determine what each member of...
