The second season of Loki comes to an end, leaving the God of Lies in his rightful place within the MCU
Since his first participation in Thor, Loki Laufeyson (Tom Hiddleston) demonstrated magnetism and desire to be someone, to be able to perform great deeds, because he was born to do so. Over the years, the character began to gain more and more importance, becoming the Avengers’ first major adversary.

It all ended up in the hands of Thanos, who killed Thor’s brother and ended his story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But Loki got a new chance, thanks to the heroes’ time-traveling spree.
Loki’s escape attempt and capture by the TVA proved that his entire life was for nothing. He was born to lose, even though he believed he was destined for a glorious purpose. Throughout the first season of Lokiis exactly what he’s looking for, getting involved in a plot involving alternate realities, Variants, and even falling in love with a variant version of himself.
With the second season, Loki not only did it manage to advance the overall plot of the MCU, being a fundamental piece of the Multiverse Saga, but it also explores and develops the character played by Tom Hiddleston, finally showing where he deserves to be within the grand scheme of the Universe Marvel in theaters. .
Rush and pseudoscience
The second season of Loki start exactly where the first one endedwith TVA in danger after the death of He who remains. The season wasted no time in resolving many of the doubts left in previous episodes, immediately explaining why Mobius (Owen Wilson) didn’t recognize Loki, who begins to “slip” through time out of control.
These first few chapters of the season, as they were shown, demonstrated immeasurable haste, wasting no time in trying to advance the plot. Having reached the end of the six episodes, it is possible to say that this unbridled atmosphere makes sense, demonstrating the urgency that Loki has to try to solve everything before the imminent destruction arrives.
This leads Loki to meet OB, played by Ke Huy Quan (Everything everywhere at the same time), great addition to the series cast. OB is responsible for all of TVA’s creations and can help the God of Lies and Mobius try to solve the problems related to the collapse of the timelines.
The character serves as the season’s pseudoscientific side, attempting to present technical explanations for why the multiverse collapsed. Although most of the episodes are taken from this scientific side, causing even more rush and madness, this serves to show how Loki is willing to believe in any solution to his problem.
From the beginning of his participation in the MCU, Loki has tried to find a way to solve his problems in his own way. This led him into Thanos’ path, resulting in his death. When he got his second chance, the God of Lies tried to find a way to get along, gradually understanding his new position within the agency itself.
The second season shows that, for whatever reason, he continues to look for the “clever” way to solve any problem, but becomes more and more frustrated until he understands exactly the real reasons why he struggles so much in his life.
Multiverse and choices
Desperate to solve the problems of the multiverse, Loki and Mobius end up crossing paths with Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), who after eliminating the One Who Remains, has left for a new timeline to try to live her life, and Victor Timely. , a variant of Kang who initiated the inventions that created the TVA.
Sylvie’s participation in the second season, after being one of the highlights of the first, fell well short of expectations. Perhaps because the character doesn’t have much to do, she ends up just being an extra in most episodes, without having much impact on the story other than bringing emotional weight to the choices Loki makes.
Victor Timely, played by Jonathan Majors, brings a different version than expected for a variant of the villain Kang, proving that there are no exactly cruel and evil versions of the character. The way Majors portrays Timely, properly as his character and not simply as a version of He Who Remains or Kang, is very interesting and highlights something that may or may not be a problem for the audience. wonder.
Kang the Conqueror was introduced Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, being effectively defeated by the heroes in his first appearance, despite being cast as the great threat of the Multiverse Saga. The second season of Loki shows that this Kang is, in fact, not even close to what He Who Remains is.
This variant is much more menacing and interesting, with Majors really showing his full potential as a villain and perhaps being a much bigger threat than Kang releasing lightning through his hands. Quantimania – which is treated as a small problem of Earth-616 that has already been solved.
Accept your glorious purpose
After four episodes of pure rush and madness, the season Loki It slows down considerably in the fifth episode, which doesn’t seem to accomplish anything that advances the plot, but it may be the most important of the series. It is in this episode that Loki finally understands a true reason for doing what he does, going beyond his simple desire to do well by deserving a throne that never belonged to him.
Most of the Variants of the God of Lies we meet throughout the series seek recognition and a purpose that even they don’t know exactly what it is. When he saw his life before his eyes, Loki realized that he was born to lose. That his existence is about helping others have the opportunity to reach their potential. He is a ladder and nothing more.
It was like this with Thor, with the Avengers themselves, who only reunited for the first time thanks to him. After trying to understand the science behind the TVA and proving it to be useless, Loki shows that everything thrown at him this season has brought him to a point where he finally understands its purpose.
Loki doesn’t want to lose his friends. He realizes that by doing what he has to do he can start a war that will end everything. But what could happen next could be better. Loki understands that his glorious purpose is not to win, but rather to be the God who gives others the chance to strive for something better.
In this way, the series of Loki serves as the final beginning to the great multiversal war we will witness Avengers: Secret Warswhich could very well involve a soft reboot of the MCU.
However, it also serves to close a loop for one of the most surprising and charismatic characters in the Marvel Universe, played excellently by Tom Hiddleston, finally giving him what he has always sought, but never found because he has always tried to find a way. to emerge victorious from everyone.
Loki has finally achieved his glorious goal. For fans, it remains one of the best productions of the MCU. What will happen in the future? Perhaps only the God of Lies knows.
The two seasons of Loki are available on Disney+.
