The Dox in box scene is probably the most gruesome moment in the main MCU (i. e. excepting the Netflix shows).
Seeing Timely get spaghettified was great and a good use of a Chekhov’s gun. I appreciate seeing story arcs that build up to the heroes succeeding but despite their best efforts they still lose — very evocative of Infinity War or Empire Strikes Back. Anything is on the table now, and I hope the following episodes will lean into connecting with the storylines of other recent projects.
Since Loki and Sylvie have telekinesis (and magic was unblocked in the TVA at the time), couldn’t they have just used magic to lift the device across the bridge and into the machine and activate it without anyone being exposed to the time radiation decay?
- I think the magic dampener was back on shortly after possessed Brad pruned Renslayer.
  
  Maybe. I interpreted Brad breaking out of the trance as being due to Sylvie no longer putting her efforts toward enchanting him, or to her getting out of range for her powers to work.
- We didn't even see the box bit. It was a 30s shot of Brad's face.
  
  And miss minute enjoyed every second of it.
  
  Miss Minutes grinning like a psychopath was so perfectly creepy. Her gleefulness at everyone dying, contrasted with Renslayer staring indiffrently and Brad's horrified reluctance to even look, was a smart way to show each character had different motivations for participating in the massacre. Benson and Moorhead do a great job directing this kind of stuff!
  
  The Scarface shower scene was often considered one of the most violent scenes in movies at the time, and you likewise see basically nothing.
