Marvel has dropped yet another peak fiction, with a jaw dropping ending. “Loki Season Two” premiered Oct. 5 and finished with six episodes on Nov. 9. This season has given us new characters such as Ouroboros or Obi, who is my favorite character. Continuing on where it left off, the main villain of season one, He Who Remains, was killed by a Loki variant, who is known as Sylvie, which causes the timeline to spread infinitely and is on the verge of collapse. To save the timeline our Loki has to save the Time Variance Authority or TVA which is also on the verge of collapse and stop the loom that powers the TVA from failing, which could mean the end of the multiverse.
The first four episodes are tense, and do an amazing job at keeping the audience on the edge of their seat. The first episode, called “Ouroboros”, has Loki slipping through time. He goes through the past, present and future. This is one of my favorite episodes because it introduces us to Obi and has the most intense moment in the show.
The second episode, called “Breaking Brad”, introduces us to a new character, X-5, who goes under the alias of Brad Wolfie, as they interrogate him to find Sylvie. The third episode, “1893”, our duo, Loki and Morbius, find a variant of He Who Remains which spirals into a wild goose chase between Loki and Morbius, and another duo. The fourth episode, “Heart of the TVA”, is focused on trying to stop the loom from failing.
The fifth episode, “Science/ Fiction”, was my least favorite of the season. It has Loki trying to find his friends on the dying timelines. It’s a great episode, but the episode ruined the flow. It made the main problem seem less urgent with all the jokes, and the episode felt slow. I understand that the point of the episode was to get Loki to understand that his friends have lives on the timeline too.
My favorite episode is the last episode named “Glorious Purpose”, which is a call back to the first episode with the same name. It has the best moment of the entire show which was the ending. I didn’t blink once during that scene. Not only that but it gave us the biggest twist, which leads all the way back to the end of season one.
“Loki Season Two” made $476.1 million in gross income. Also getting 82% on Rotten Tomatoes, and an 81% audience score. Eighty-two percent of the fans can’t be wrong, “Loki Season Two” is a five out of five and I recommend watching it.
