Loki was among the shows nominated at this weekend's Writers Guild Awards, but the God of Mischief's first season, unfortunately, failed to walk away with any prizes. Beaten by Hacks in the "New Series" category, it also lost out to Succession in the "Drama Series" category. 

Bisha K. Ali, Elissa Karasik, Eric Martin, and Head Writer Michael Waldron were among those nominated on behalf of the Marvel Studios TV series, and the latter has now shared the acceptance speech submitted for use had Loki won. It turns out actress Tara Strong was enlisted to return as Miss Minutes for a fun speech which sees her threaten the writers and audience with being pruned.

Why? Well, she points out that Succession should have won (which it obviously did), meaning that Loki's win had taken place in a branched timeline. 

It's clever and very funny, and Waldron sharing this provides a glimpse into what might have been. It also means we get to hear Strong reprise a role that fans fell in love with during Loki's first season, and the hope is the veteran voice actress will be back for the show's planned second season. 

As for Waldron, he also penned the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and is believed to be hard at work writing Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige's upcoming Star Wars movie.

Check out Miss Minutes' speech below:

@Fogs - Loki was truly great from beginning to end. It's why I havent lost all hope in Waldron's Doc 2

@McMurdo - I have faith it will be good. Having him as the writer is indeed a good sign cause the multiverse "canon" is basically in his head, lol

BTW how did you like NHW? I mean, besides Dr Strange's role, which I know you disliked.

Yep, that was some comedic gold right there, and I think that marvel knows it. Miss Minutes could be the MCU's version of Baby Yoda, as far as a break out title adorable character goes, except for the fact that she's basically an AI with an evil streak. Kinda like Chucky but cuter. In fact, in season 2 of "What If...?" they should just have an entire episode of her hunting down and executing variants of MCU characters, like the Fox X-Men, the second iteration of the F4 (I think that Jessica Alba was pretty hot in the original movies so they get a pass), Ben Affleck's DD, etc. The though of a little animated clock strapped to the 9's with artillery hunting those characters down a la Deadpool at the end of DP2 just warms the cockles of my heart. Maybe the sub cockle area. A cookie for the first person to get that reference WITHOUT having to look it up ;)
