It was just one of a smorgasbord of offerings presented at Disney's Investor Day.

"Smorgasbord" is right. My wife and I watched this trailer/teaser last night and, not knowing what or who the TVA are, were pretty confused by it all. It looked sort of like Quantum Leap, only with a Norse god in place of Sam and Owen Wilson playing Al.
Still, it's piqued our interest enough to check it out when the time comes.

Tom Hiddleston's got enough acting chops that this will hopefully be at least moderately entertaining

Let's be honest, I'd watch it just for Tom Hiddleston. If you haven't seen him in The Night Manager, try to track it down - excellent miniseries.
I do like that Marvel seems to be expanding out of their main universe as it opens up a lot of options they can do without worrying about conflicting.

With all of these actors in established points of the marvel universe I wonder if actors are signing away the rights to their image to be put into movies later with CGI assuming they died or something.
Would be weird if the hulk suddenly got a different face again.

As long as they keep it so that you can watch most of it in isolation, and the connections are more backstory/side story, I'm good. Character cameos, unimportant "remember ____" lines, etc all make sense.
If it gets to the point that I have to watch all the TV shows in order to know what's happening in a movie or other show, it'll be a problem. I'm willing to admit that movies should be watched in order (usually), and that shared names in particular need to be watched as a series.
But if I'm sitting in a theater (maybe) and going "wait, when did that critical plot moment happen?" and find out it happened in a separate TV show, it starts to become a burden to keep up.

Yeah, the DB Cooper thing is just the greatest. Even aside from all of the other awesomeness in the trailer, Loki as DB Cooper was enough to sell me on the show all by itself.

I don't know if I've ever seen Owen Wilson with a mustache. Not sure if I like or dislike it yet.

I never understood why they didn't just execute Loki after the first Avengers movie. Oh hes a good guy? Well hes also a bad guy most of the time and has zero problems demonstrating this throughout the movie franchise, so why keep this highly traitorous shitfuck alive?

The audience loves him! Ever since Hulk had his way with Loki *Puny god* I think the audience craves more of that beat down and spit on the mostly bad guy

That's not too far off. After the positive feedback from him in The Avengers, the studio rewrote Thor: The Dark World to give him a bigger role (anybody remember that Malekith was supposed to be the villain of that movie?).
It's the same reason that nobody believed he was going to stay dead after Avengers: Infinity War (or at the end of The Dark World for that matter). He's too marketable.

Hiddleston is pretty much automatically compelling. If the scripts are mediocre or better this should be a delight.

Violence is never the answer.
Well, unless the question is, "What is never the answer?"
Then, er...violence is the answer but wait, it can't be because it's never the answer!

I believe the Loki series had already been announced before the events of Infinity Wars showed his fate. Truth be told, I never thought he was actually dead. He was always three steps ahead, and I can't imagine he would have gone straight at Thanos without something up his sleeve.

Uh, well yeah. That's expected of WandaVision AND Loki's TV show.
"I don't think we should focus on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats. You can smell crazy on him" - Dr. Bruce Banner, "The Avengers"'
By nature you're not supposed to be able to "understand" him which extends to this trailer and hopefully the show. The overall theme of the trailer fits Loki and his persona. If anything, this is literally Loki in Wonderland. The Avenger's "Cheshire Cat" makes a cameo in the trailer anyway.
It's a trailer, not a synopsis. A trailer is a preview of things to come usually in order to pique interest. It's not supposed to be a summary.

Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie... you've piqued my interest. The trailer for it certainly looks good. Now to figure out where to watch it from ... or download it from ...
Edit: Looks like it's available to stream via Amazon Prime Video. Nice. Guess I have something to watch now ...

"I need to insert myself into this conversation just to point out that I don't give a damn about whatever it is you're talking about" is not a discussion. It's interrupting the discussion.

"I don't care" checks the "Doesn't Contribute" box fairly thoroughly. It fills it entirely with black ink, in fact.

People love Loki for the same reason they love Megamind and Brain. There is something fun about a good old fashioned antihero that is bad at the anti part.

"I quit caring about Marvel back in 2013" is an opinion, sure, but it doesn't add any value to the discussion. It's a throwaway comment that appears, on the face of it, to exist for the sake of being contrarian. Well within the OP's right to do that, but there shouldn't be any measure of surprise at the negative reaction to it, either.

I used to watch Legends of Tomorrow and to some extend Flash and Supergirl but everytime they had their "crossovers" I got frustrated because suddenly I had to try to match up and find the relevant episode in Arrow, Flash, Supergirl etc so I could watch them in order and also catch up with everything. Which reminds me that I actually stopped watching legends due to a crossover that I needed to find all the episodes for ...
So yeah, please do not do to much crossovers that requiers you to watch every show to figure out what is happening.

Why doesn't Thor, the largest Asgardian, simply not eat the punier gods?

Yeah I was watching Arrow and Flash on Netflix and ran into that problem a bit. I got distracted by other things and haven't gotten back to them to even make it to legends of tomorrow. Seems like a great opportunity for Netflix to step up with something that helps you watch all the episodes in a connected universe in the proper order. Either cycling between them as needed or before the start of a crossover giving you a " You should catch up on Flash before you watch this episode of the Arrow" hint with a button to jump to your next episode of the Flash.
It was definitely annoying to start watching an episode and get some semi-spoiler in the opening intro before you even know what's happening.
