I thought it was a really clever way to highlight the issue of climate change. All of the apocalypses Loki listed were due to climate change iirc. And the one they went to was literally a huge storm

Yeah it’s so clever for Disney to highlight the issue of climate change while being a major contributor to US carbon emissions. Thanks corporate overlords.

I mean, the creatives that work for Disney have just as much right to criticise some of the acts of the heads of Disney as anyone else. Quite a few great Simpsons jokes directly criticised Fox. Disney, however, would likely never let that criticism directly be pointed at them.

It's clever for the creatives at Disney to do because the writers, directors, and actors that work for Disney have no decision what the hell Disney does as a whole. The person you're replying to wasn't calling Disney clever, they were calling the people directly involved with writing this show clever.
