As for the time travel and multiverse stuff being hard to follow, it wasn't actually important to the plot that you get all the intricacies. Sci-fi nerds can pick it apart if they want, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you completely understand all of it, because the story wasn't explaining the details of the multiverse, it was Loki's emotional arc. As long as you get the general gist, it's fine. And the general gist - that the timeline can branch into different timelines with certain actions, and that the TVA clips these variant timelines from existence, really isn't hard to grasp. It was something introduced in Endgame already, (minus the TVA part) and it was explained very simply in that Miss Minutes cartoon. It really isn't hard to grasp the basics, even if the finer details of how it all worked are harder to pin down, but those finer details are fairly inconsequential.
And I never said I wanted the movies to be exactly like the comics. The Loki show isn't like the comics except for the themes it deals with (fighting against fate etc.) and some easteregg type nods like some of the costumes used, it mostly forged it's own path and that's fine with me, I have never been pushing for it to ape the comics, even if I get a little fan glee when I see they adapted something from the books. And when they did adapt something, it was VERY loosely, and I had no problem with that. Yeah the comics had Kid Loki, Lady Loki, and King Loki, but only one of those even involved time travel, and even that one, they were totally different situations. All they took form Kid Loki was the character design, Lady Loki the vague idea of a female Loki, and King Loki they took a few vague concepts, and the fact that it involved a bit of time travel, but in general it was a different situation. And Loki only encountered the TVA for the first time in the comics like, 2 years ago? And they weren't even there for him. So I am not sure where you are getting the notion that this is about wanting the show to match the comics. I'm fine with the fact that it doesn't. I was just fine with the fact that it wasn't some simple time travel romp where he was interacting with historical events, and instead was more of a character arc. I don't think there's a problem with that.
