Loki: Science/Fiction
Loki, Mobius, and the rest have a lot of unexpected things to deal with in “Science Fiction.”
Loki, Mobius, and the rest have a lot of unexpected things to deal with in “Science Fiction.”
Some have been tragic, some dramatic, and a few have been more on the humorous side. “What If Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?” is definitely one of those. There’s all kinds of action and a few nods to assorted Christmas stories as we see an Avengers Christmas party like no other.
This version of events shows a different, earlier forming version of the Avengers, although it gets my vote for Least Accurately Titled Episode, at least so far. Now we delve into “What If Peter Quinn Attacked Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?”
When Disney+ starting making shows set in the MCU, they included an animated version of What If, which featured many of the stars of the movies coming back to reprise their roles. It was so successful, it became the second Marvel series on Disney+ to get more than one season, just behind Loki. Returned for a new series of could-have-been tales, What If started off with an out of this world story.
The TVA has a new status quo to adapt to, individual present and former members get a lot of unexpected revelations, and there are a lot of startling events for all concerned. The Sacred Timeline is indeed a multiverse now, as we see when we get a look in “The Heart of the TVA.”
Now, in his own series, he’s actually fighting for something larger than himself, his own glory, or personal power. Loki and Mobius are on a desperate quest to save time, and everything else, requiring a journey to “1893.”
Now, the further misadventures of Loki and the TVA continue in “Breaking Brad.”
The Loki series on Disney+ was a lot of fun, and an interesting look at the God of Lies (or Mischief, or Stories, depending on which version you’re going by). It was also the introduction of Kang, a hugely powerful foe of the Avengers, into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, Loki does something else no…
The series comes to a close with “Home,” which has been the driving goal behind what most of the Skrulls were doing.
It’s a war being fought in the shadows that’s already claimed a beloved MCU character, and at least implied that some others may have already met a dark fate. The Secret Invasion is continuing, and “Betrayal” could apply to a few developments in this episode.
