Eh, to that I say no and yes, respectively.
Last episode of Loki is great and a perfect set up for next phase.

I look forward to discussing when ban is lifted
Switching gears a bit, but holy crap Suicide Squad looks like it's gonna be good. I love King Shark. The MCU's loss appears (again - Jenkins was fired from Thor 2 and made WW; Gunn from GotG and made SS) to be the DCEU's gain.
Prediction: In reading the Kang wikipedia, fans aren't going to like all this alternate reality shit that's about to come to the MCU. Kinda kills the drama of Iron Man dying if there's a million other Iron Mans. The Endgame plot was already weak enough, another 4 years of it will tire quickly.
We should have seen this coming given what we know of the future MCU slate. Spiderman: No Way Home is supposed to involve multiple Spideys and previous Sony villains. And there have been series hints that film will tie Venom, Venom 2, and future Sony films (Mobius, Kraven the Hunter, etc) into the MCU. Multiverse is in the name for Doctor Strange 2. Kang is in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. And 4 weeks from now, we get What If? that specifically explores different realities.
I was annoyed by much of the finale because it reminded me of Neo and The Architect in The Matrix Reloaded. That was an awesome scene at the time, but it didn't pay off. I was also annoyed by He Who Remains. But at the end, it was clear that was just a set up and Majors is going to be a very busy man for the next few years playing different versions of Kang who will be more interesting and fun.

I can see this happening.
On the other hand, at this point, I really enjoyed Loki and thought the story was both good for this season and set up well for future seasons.
Episode 6 was a bit slow with the info dump in the first third, but picked up steam once you got to see more sides of Kang and see Loki and Sylvie try to figure out their own motivations.
Word is Loki will be in Doctor Strange 2.
Marvel has been preparing us for stories about identity and multiple versions of the same character. All three shows have been about that central theme. Wanda creating a new reality and new life for herself including a new Vision. What does it mean to be Captain America? What does it mean to be a Loki?
