Loki Season 2 - the BEST of the MCU

What did you think of Loki Season 2?? Is Loki the saving grace of a failing MCU? Comment below! 💥

I am so glad that the creators decided to only do two seasons, and to treat them like bookends to each other. This is a series that is only going to get better with each rewatch, with all the thematic parallels and "inconsequential" details seeded throughout the plot.

Loki’s back must hurt from carrying the MCU on his shoulders right now.

I know visuals aren’t everything, but in an era where MCU projects are stylistically bland with middling CGI, I love how beautifully cinematic Loki is. Fantastic use of colors, great camera work, unique aesthetic, impressive set design, and finished CGI do so much to enhance an already great story.

Tom Hiddleston’s Dedication and Passion to Marvel and Loki - He read all the comics as he was growing up. - He watched the movies since the beginning and loved them. - He held multi-day long ‘Loki’ & ‘Marvel’ lectures for the entire cast and crew even going to Owen’s house several days in a row to help him prepare for his role as ‘Mobius.’ - He learnt Norwegian and sang in it as well as learning Latin and studied Norse lore to prepare for his role in the first Thor movie. - He asked the composer, Natalie Holt to put certain music tracks into particular scenes. - He handed out poetry to the cast and crew in order to ‘inspire their imaginations’ - He was made ‘special executive producer’ since he has such passion and knowledge of Marvel! - He listened to the Thor 1 soundtrack when he decided to repeat the line he also improvised in that movie and re-used in ‘Loki’ S2: “For you. For all of us.” - He says that playing Loki was part of his ‘glorious purpose.’

“You either die a villain, or you live long enough to see yourself become the hero.” Perfectly sums up Loki's story

the fact that people are comparing loki's development with iron man who's a character of mythical status in the mcu and no one has a problem with it, speaks volumes of how amazing he is

Just to add in, I feel like Natalie Holt deserves ALL the praise for her phenomenal soundtrack. Absolutely amazing work, especially how she blended the synth and orchestral elements to create really unique soundscapes. And she sold the fuck out of the emotions, which was crucial in a series that risked losing the audience by being too cerebral and esoteric. (As an aside, if Disney ever does that long-rumored Tron 3, I'd totally want to see her score it.)

From "I AM burdened WITH GLORIOUS PURPOSE!" to " I AM BURDENED WITH glorious PURPOSE ." Season 2 was awesome.

This is one of if not the BEST redemption arcs for any character. Right up there with Zuko's redemption arc.

Loki went from god to GOD

Loki Season 2 is the best thing to happen to Marvel in 2023, alongside Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. When Loki literally carried the timelines with his bare hands and formed a new Multiverse in the form of Yggdrasil, he finally fulfilled his glorious purpose as he's now the God of Stories.

Give the Loki scriptwriters the next Avengers movie

Love the parallels of both fiction and real life here. Just like how Loki is holding up the entire damn multiverse by himself, he is holding this damn franchise right from the brink of death, especially after the marvels

This season had several scenes that I’ll be watching over and over again for years. The beautiful wordless god of stories finale sequence, “let time pass,” silvie’s velvet underground spaghetti jam sesh from end of ep 5. This is the best doctor who has ever been by far haha.

It was chaotic but not unenjoyable. The last episode gave me chills as everything came together

Man I just find it a shame that this had to come out during marvels huge downfall, cause these artist and creators poured a lot of heart and soul into this project to where they wrapped up not only the shows story, but Loki as a character I can only hope Marvel can learn from this and keep trusting their artist to flesh out their characters in the biggest way they can instead of studio cash grabbing, Tom Hiddleston gives my opinion, his best performance as Loki, and he’s one of my favorite actors in the mcu

I think its very telling that two of the most successful Post-Endgame MCU projects, GotG Volume 3 and Loki, both feel super diffrent compared to the rest of the boring, predictable, tropey movies and series that have been rolling out of Marvel Studios the last few years. You hit the nail on the head when you said that the old movies all had their own distinct style and as a result they all felt unique. I think Disney Corporate basically created a MCU 'mold' that takes successful aspects from all previous movies, combines them together and now they try to fit every unique story into that generic mold. Nothing feels special anymore because the basic plot of all these projects are structured exactly the same, which is why stuff like Loki and Guardians, that shatter that mold, feel like the old MCU. Absolutely loved this series and hopefully Marvel will realize stuff like this is what we all want

It's so funny to me that we can call Loki - a series with time travel, Gods, multiple universes, variants of the same person and magic - grounded. But it is. And Marvel should really look at that.

Responding to the question below there’s so many things I can say, but for now, I’m gonna keep it simple and to the point the Loki series is just a small example of what a good show can be under marvel. What a good story can be when you focus on the individual characters journey, and forget about everything else that really isn’t so important maybe they’ll become important one day but it’s just enough to be good and how it really is just a simple as that I don’t know why this is so hard for the rest of the MCU to understand
