Season 1 Review: Marvel wants to have their cake and eat it too, as yet another Disney+ show takes one of the iconic characters from the MCU and has them act completely different than they normally would. While the show is enjoyable, this was a jarring issue for me, as we have Loki at his evilest, immediately becomes the Loki we lost in Infinity War, due to watching a clip show. Nitpicks aside, the show introduces fun characters and ideas into the larger MCU and gives a good idea where things are headed after the Infinity Saga, introducing He Who Remains as a charmingly devious foe. The variants are all fun additions, but it's the relationship between Loki and Mobius (Owen Wilson) that gives this show so much heart. While Marvel moved pieces around to their design, they gave us the best Disney+ show so far with Loki.

Season 2 Review: Coming at a time when MCU properties went from 'Gold Standard' to 'Fine', my hopes were not high for Loki season 2. With a story that connects to the wider world, while mostly keeping to its own pocket of the MCU, Loki is able to tell a contained story, on a massive scale. The old cast returns and, while I feel some of them had very little to do, most were quite a treat, with the relationship between Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Mobius (Owen Wilson) makes every shared moment heartfelt and memorable. Though Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) is heavily underutilized for the first half of the season, her presence is especially important in the later half. Jonathan Majors returns as Kang variants, He Who Remains and Victor Timely, which showcases the range of 2 very different versions of the character, going from timid and friendly to devious and cunning in a matter of moments. Visually, the entire series is bounds beyond many current MCU projects, as everything looks astounding and you can tell time was put into creating this. Loki, as a character, might be the single consistently best written character throughout the MCU, with every appearance allowing him to grow more and more in fun and exciting ways. Wherever he turns up next, I hope we have not seen the last of Loki.
