Love the snarky bromance between #TomHiddleston and #OwenWilson. The show is heavy on dialogue and intimate scenery and that works so well for this. I’ll add that the way Owen Wilson’s Mobius deals with Loki is hilarious. That classic soft confidence makes his Mobius a blast to watch. Wilson is surprisingly delightful in the MCU. Hiddleston brings every bit of cunning charm back to Loki. Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson are glorious together. The chemistry btwn Hiddleston & Wilson is a match made in Asgard allowing for a unique but untrustworthy friendship to unfold. It’s like MEN IN BLACK meets DOCTOR WHO, but with a 1960s MAD MEN aesthetic instead of a corporate future style. Sharp dialogue, sneaky emotional plot points, great range from Hiddleston, awesome score, definite crime thriller vibe. Very first-act of a 6-hour movie – hope it delivers on the set-up. Leans heavily on MCU lore, and has an exciting world built on top of that. Lots of exposition in sit-down convos, less narrative momentum. The connectivity of this show is evident and fans will appreciate every detail – Marvel has found a way to expand the MCU and do so in such a clever and unique way. It’s a time-traveling detective show that’s laying groundwork for the MCU multiverse while also being about identity & confronting ugly truths about ourselves. It’s almost a slanted whodunnit with a shit eating grin. #Loki is very much a screwball detective story that happens to feature time travel while teeing up the MCU’s new focus on multiversal elements. And love how the story is challenging Loki to assess/reassess his actions. Fascinated by the TVA and the timeline rules I’ll no doubt obsess over. – John Campea, The John Campea ShowĪ big ol’ YAY for the Beetlejuice vibes of the TVA! After two episodes, #Loki looks like it’s VERY much my thing. A focus on the god of mischief that gives us our best look at his character, his fears, his insecurities and his glorious purpose. Marvel continues to change things up, this is unlike anything they’ve done before. #LOKI is exactly what I wanted it to be: funny, weird, and exciting television. Shoutout to and for continuing to push the bar in the MCU. I don’t really know where to start praising #Loki, so I’ll just say it’s IMO the strongest opening for a Disney+ show to date, the writing and directing are on another level. It’s a cheeky action comedy… – Brandon Katz, Observer I think #Loki is designed to be the most purely entertaining Marvel series thus far, at least based on the first two episodes. WandaVision was meant to be a mystery box of sorts, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier made statements on race and legacy. How Does Loki Compare to Marvel’s Other Disney+ Series? Here’s what critics are saying about Loki‘s first two episodes on social media today: But, does the new Marvel series live up to all the hype? With introductions to the Time Variance Authority (aka the TVA), and several of its main players – including Mobius, played by Owen Wilson, and a judge played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw – the series sets up rules of the multiverse, while giving Hiddleston’s raven-haired baddie another go-round. With a little time-travel twist, Thor’s ( Chris Hemsworth) trickster brother is brought back for a new challenge to tackle. Lokiis the next Marvel Studios program to touch down on Disney+, premiering on Wednesday, June 9 to the streamer. Much like WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier before it, the series aims to continue a story line featured in Avengers: Endgame. But while those shows dug deeper into the fallout from that story, and the impact it had on those heroes, Loki takes a unique and villainous pivot to bring back Tom Hiddleston as everyone’s favorite God of Mischief.
