I think that "Loki" was badly written and executed, and does not add much to the MCU. We already know about the Multiverse, but Marvel is constantly pushing this concept which was introduced for the first time in "Doctor Strange" back in 2016. It started to be old and repetitive. I have to admit that the TVA storyline is interesting but it is watered down in six episodes. The show is slow, there are a lot of empty moments where the story does not progress. Honestly they could have done a movie for Disney +, and it would be way more entertaining and less time consuming for the audience. A potentially good preamble for "Multiverse of Madness".

There are interesting ideas, such as different Lokis, from different timelines. It was genuinely funny, but I don't like what they have done with the main characters. The God of Mischief, that was always an interesting depiction of hero/villain duality, here seems more like a scared child that does not know how to use his powers. The entire wannabe love story between him and Sylvie could have been completely cut out. Creators wanted to add too much to the plate, instead of keeping things simple and straightforward. Hence, the show, at least for me, is very chaotic and lacks vision.

Action sequences are completely censored. There is no blood and no bruises, even though the characters are beating the hell out of each other. I do not understand why Disney made this childish decision, considering that in "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" and in "Black Widow" there are some strong and explicit images. Moreover, action sequences are bland and definitely not up to Marvel standards. However, cinematography and special effects are amazing.

Owen Wilson basically carried this show alone; the other actors are nowhere close to his level, not even Tom Hiddleston. I mean, the rest of the cast is composed by skillful people, but the gap is very noticeable. If in a series titled after the God of Outcasts, the only character that can grab my undivided attention is Mobius, there were clearly big issues somewhere along the way. If I gave this show four stars out of ten, it is only because of his performance.

Once again Marvel and Disney think that throwing tons of money down the pipe for production design, visual effects and marketing is good enough to make an entertaining show. If you do not focus on an interesting plot and if you keep pushing for forced comedy, you'll end up with a pretty average product that cannot stand out. If the first season of this show is already so weak, I am really worried about the second one.
