The "correct" answer for #9 was wrong.
It asked something like 'How many episodes will the series have?'
There's 6 episodes planned for the first season.
But Wikipedia states: "A second season is in development."

Would've gotten 10/10 if it weren't for that question. :mad:
(Though I did have a hunch when answering, that IndieGala probably got the answer wrong.)

On one hand, yeah, the question would've been better, if phrased specifically about first the season episodes.
On the other hand there's literally no information about the second season other that it's in development, maybe even in production. Most importantly there's nothing about its number of episodes and considering that's the most probable thing the hint could be hinting at, we could only get two solid numbers: 6 episodes in total and 3 of them already came out.
I also had a list of episode names and air dates prepared just in case.

PS Did anyone else expect Q7 to be about Avengers Age of Ultron, since it's the one out of four Avengers movies without Loki?

I just assumed it would be the same number of episodes as the first season. Isn't that usually the case? So I chose "12" as my answer.

Looking through the rest of the Wikipedia article, it does sound like Marvel Studios probably expects to do more than just one more season (just based on Nate Moore saying: "I think there’s a lot of storytelling in ‘Loki’ that[...] lends itself to multiple seasons"). If I'd seen that beforehand, I'd have been a bit more confident in my suspicion that IndieGala had in mind "in the first season". Oh well.

Now I'm curious to see, if they ever do a Redux of this week's quiz, will they correct the question, or update the answer, or just leave it as is?

And while that's a fair assumption - companies do tend to prefer sticking to a format even when there's no need for it, that's still an assumption about the length of a season that doesn't actually exist yet.
Maybe all the articles I've read about how the tv and movie companies do their business colour my perception, but to me a leak saying that something is "in development" is almost the same as having no info at all. "In development" is basically industry speak for "we might do it". It doesn't even necessarily mean that there's a finished script! Take Hancock for example: the movie came out in 2008, but the original script that was written back in 1996 was bought by a studio in 2002, and since then was "in development", but only started production in 2006! Depending on how you prefer to count it can be considered as a movie that spent whole 12 years in development or just 6 years, but regardless of that, if anyone asked during these 12 years: "How many movies are there going to be in Hancock movie franchise?" the answer would have been "I don't know." Because these thing have to at least somewhat exist in order to count them.

And sure, Loki is in a better position than most in this regard: it's a Disney show about one of the most popular characters of the most successful movie franchise in the world, so it's highly likely that actual work on the second season started before the first one started releasing and unless it suddenly flops extremely hard, the production of the sequel is probably going to be fine. But until there's an actual announcement from Disney, any guesses about its length are just guesses.

Steven has been updating the redux quizzes fairly well, from what I remember, so if needed some correction would probably happen?
