There's a lot of doom and gloom connected to the fate of the MCU recently, and this show demonstrates that it is possible to have interesting characters, interesting special effects and an interesting plot even after producing so much content. Loki works because it is an examination of Loki's character, and his potential to grow. The special effects do a great job of setting the atmosphere of the story, but there isn't any reliance on them to overpower and amaze the viewer. It is easy to compare and contrast this television series with the last ant-Man see everything that Marvel does correctly, and everything they do incorrectly. There are big stars in the show, they are not forced to only rely on their charm. The writing of the show carries the entire weight of it, makes it a great viewing experience. It is a great demonstration of how you can tell a profound story through the medium of television. It doesn't need another season, this is a fitting end for the character.
