Do that.” But the exchange seems wholly disconnected from what Loki is up to throughout the season’s first four episodes. At one point, Hunter X-5 (Rafael Casal from Blindspotting, another cast addition) tells him to stop trying to be a hero and embrace villainy again: “You’re good at it. The plot is maneuvering him, rather than the other way around, and it’s not a great use of either the character or the actor playing him. He gets to use a bit more of his magic this season, but his character arc has largely been sacrificed in favor of him worrying about what’s going to happen to the TVA. And Loki himself only sometimes feels like the Loki who was charming enough to merit his own show in the first place. Sophie, once a firebrand who was every bit as witty as her male counterpart, is now dour and emotionally shut down. The easy banter between Hiddleston and Wilson is still there, just not as often. He handles the material with such enthusiasm and comic timing that you may not mind how many times he has to say the phrases “Temporal Loom” and “Throughput Multiplier.” But the greater emphasis on the mechanics of the multiverse keeps getting in the way of the parts of the show that were most effective and appealing in Season One. Quan, who won an Oscar this year for his great work in Everything Everywhere All at Once, is rewarded with the most technobabble-laden dialogue TV has seen since LeVar Burton on Star Trek: The Next Generation. ‘Ahsoka’ Finale Is a Disappointing End to the ‘Star Wars’ Spinoff Even a finale that mostly featured a character we’d never seen before - Jonathan Majors as the all-knowing puppet master He Who Remains - sitting at a desk and explaining the plot somehow worked. It was so fun and so clever - and, thanks to the plan to make both the multiverse and Kang, a He Who Remains variant also played by Majors, crucial to where the larger MCU was headed - that it became the first, and so far only, Disney+ Marvel series to get a second season. (After all, what is Disney+ if not Kevin Feige persevering?) The Falcon and the Winter Soldierwas much bumpier, but that was followed by arguably the best of any of these series: Loki, a spinoff of Tom Hiddleston‘s character from the Thor and Avengers movies, now mixed up in shenanigans involving time travel, variant personae, and the multiverse. And the new era of Marvel on television arrived with a bang, thanks to the acclaimed, inventive WandaVision. People enjoyed Spider-Man: Far From Home, albeit perhaps not as much as they had Tom Holland’s first outing as Peter Parker. That’s all for now, I guess.The funny thing is, Marvel still seemed to be on a hot streak in the immediate aftermath of Endgame. Besides, Marvel might not want to dump so many prequels on us, considering the Black Widow movie that’s also on the way. There’s a possibility of WandaVision happening before Endgame, but Loki really had no where to go throughout most of the MCU’s continuity, so I can’t see that being another prequel. There’s so much that Marvel has to address here, most glaringly of course, being the fact that Vision and Loki aren’t truly dead. “I’m gonna burn this place to the ground” The other thing that can be observed is the TVA, which could be short for the Time Variance Authority. There is little to nothing to go off of, except for a closeup of him saying “I’m gonna burn this place to the ground.” Which may or may not be a reference to Thor: Ragnarok. The whole story about Scarlet Witch’s children is worth it’s own article so I won’t go too in-depth into it. Either this is all just some nightmare-ish fake/alternate reality or Scarlet Witch’s twin children are coming to the MCU. Last but not least, we see two baby pacifiers being spat out in one scene.
