Is Loki God of Stories in Loki Season 2

 If you think Marvel is slowing down and Phase 4 signals the beginning of the end for them… you haven’t been paying attention.

WandaVision was a knockout and Falcon (Captain America) and Winter Soldier was a solid hoot. Now, with our lovable Loki, things are about to get weird!

And I mean weird!

(Warning: major spoilers. Read at your own risk).

Let’s get the obvious out of the way, shall we?

Tom Hiddleston? An absolute win.

Owen Wilson? An absolute win.

Seeing them interact? Biggest absolutist win.

We good? Let’s move on.

Perhaps the most important episode in a television series is the pilot. If it doesn’t glue you to your bed, reclining chair or the exterior of your personal private jet, then you won’t feel invested and you sure as heck won’t see it through to the end.

What Glorious Purpose does really well is answer existing questions and leave the door open for further speculation. Of course, you have your typical Marvel-lous exposition scenes to fill in the gaps for the audience that also hope they’re paying attention.

With Wilson’s Mobius (not the vampire) taking us and our God of (Insecurity) Mischief in stride, the mind-boggling canon introduced here is as intriguing as it is extravagant.

If you’ve seen Endgame, you’ll be off to a good start at the very least. 2012 Loki steals the Tesseract during the Avengers’ Time Heist and gets picked up by the Time Variance Authority - TVA - for breaking the ‘Sacred Timeline’.

He gets paired with Mobius because apparently someone else (won’t say who) is going around different times in humanity’s past and causing trouble. It’ll be up to the regressed Laufeyson and his portnur to (split up and look for clues) solve this mystery.

The set design and colour scheme for the TVA was great. It carries a homely yet managerial and bureaucratic aesthetic. The TVA existing outside of time and space (after some quick comic research) made the revelation of the Infinity Stones functioning as paperweights hit me (and Loki) like a Power Stone-punch to the face.

At the centre of it all is our eponymous protagonist.

Loki is visual perfection in my eyes. Seeing his character arc come to a close, only to have him ‘return’ and be brought up to speed on all his big events since New York and have his arrogant, sly swagger be replaced by a thoughtful and emotional vulnerability fuelled by insecurity, was an absolute joy to behold.

I believed he would get ‘updated’ on his growth, but it was still entertaining to see Hiddleston run through all those emotions at those key junctures in his prime self’s story.

I thought this pilot was a great watch. Only slight concerns about pacing but it was a really good watch.

The Review of Flash Movie 2023

Image
I love the Flash movie so much. Despite of all the cartoonish CGI and crazy storyline full of plot holes, I actually enjoyed the 2023  The Flash  movie on the big screen. I’d even say this is one of my favorite  Batman  movie. Michael Keaton’s Batman is cool The Flash 2023 includes a very good Batman storyline, and Micheal Keaton delivers a fantastic portrayal of the character. To be honest, Michael Keaton’s original Batman was a bit before my time, so it was a pleasant surprise for me to see how cool he really is. He’s charming, fast, strong, as well as wise. The movie shows us his emotional struggle, amazing action sequences, his giving up, and glorious return, a relatively complete arc. I’m sure it’dl be much better if you add nostalgia into the mix. The  Batmans  are pretty cool…the rest of the move…I’m not so sure. Ezra Miller plays an OK Flash…but young Flash? I’m not sure If you’ve seen the trailer, you know that there are two Flashes. Other than the...

Why do some people not like Captain Marvel in the MCU?

  Q. Why do some people not like Captain Marvel in the MCU? Ans.  Simple. Because,  there's nothing to like about her:- Her Character development:-  In her Movie, she barely shows any weaknesses. She destroys literally everyone in her way.   At the end of the Movie when Ronan comes up with  ALL   of his Kree Army, she goes Binary for the first time her life and kicks the ass of the Kree Army. She destroys almost all of the Kree Warships, Warheads, etc. and flies at Speeds far faster than Sound. Just after a few Minutes after realizing her true Powers, she becomes potentially the greatest Cosmic threat in the MCU for the Villians. Her only relationship in the Movie was with Nick Fury and, to be perfectly honest, it felt forced. In Endgame, she saves Iron Man and Nebula drifting in Space thousands of Light-years away from Earth in a few hours and, brings them and their Spaceship back to Earth. So, after nearly 20 years   of experience, she goes from...

Do you love Captain America?

  This answer may take a while. Now, I just want to say that after seeing Endgame, Captain Marvel has gotten a bit more bearable. And I am not trying to dog on Brie Larson. I think even she heard the fans response to her being really uptight and the whole stunt double fiasco. She welcomed her two stunt doubles to the award ceremony, so I guess she learned her lesson… for now. But I am going to start at the beginning, and it all started around 2012 when Carol Danvers became Captain Marvel. Now, there wasn’t a huge uproar because everyone actually supported it, and thought it wasn’t bad. Then, the beginning of the End.  When Civil War 2 Comic was released in 2016. This is where the hatred started. Before, she was a decent character who didn’t do much but was still likeable. However, thanks to bad writing from Brian Bendis, she went from a background character to an annoying character. In summary, she keeps on saying that she’s right, but when someone points out her methods are f...
