Loki – (Season 2) What You Need To Know

Loki was among the new wave of MCU TV series. It came out after WandaVision, and The Falcon And The Winter Soldier. The main difference, to me, was that Loki took off in a totally different direction to the film outings.  WandaVision led on from the death of Vision at the hands of Thanos while The Falcon And The Winter Soldier was all about the super soldier serum. Loki introduced the TVA (Time Variance Authority) and all the staff therein.

Who/What is Loki?

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last millennium and a half then you’ll have heard of Loki.  That doesn’t mean that the Marvel franchise has been going for over fifteen hundred years; I knew about Thor, Odin, and, obviously, Loki long before I picked up a Marvel comic.

Loki is a Norse god who still lingers in the real world…and not just in the MCU! The expressions: “Lokki sår havre i dag” (Lokki sows oats today) or “Lokki driver i dag med sine geder” (Lokki herds his goats today) are still used in several regions of Jutland to describe the mist that rises when the morning sun hits the dew on the grass. 

Still, for our purposes, all we need to know is that Loki is Thor’s adopted brother and the god of mischief which makes him a bit of a tinker!

Single best investment

By and far best investment Ive made. I used to drive my husband nuts because Id be a fidgeting mess the last half hour of the movie trying not to miss important parts. Now I just turn this app on and *bam* I can actually focus on the movie the whole time. Even puts alerts to my watch so even better. Also I can guarentee all the 5 reviews arent fake as one person accused – its just that so many of us movie-goers had the same problem and this fixed it. Yes, it is paid but jeeze its expensive to keep watching movies and updating an app for every movie. And if you read more about the creator he mentions he has several people contributing – so yeah its paid but omg worth every cent. 10/10

Developers note: the RunPee app is now, and always will be, 100% free. Donations are optional.

Characters, So Far, In Loki

All the returners are reprising their roles from season one. Ke Huy Quan will be a TVA Archivist and Rafael Casal will be in an, as yet, undisclosed “major role”.

Loki’s Backstory

Although the serials fit into the MCU phases (season one is phase four, season two is phase five) there is little that you’ll need to know from the films; the film connection was, pretty much, wrapped up in the first five minutes of season one, episode one. However, given the returning characters, you might need to have seen the first season; we are back in the land of the TVA!

Sequels?

There’s no mention of a third season in phase six but, to be honest, there isn’t a lot in it yet. As usual it’ll depend on viewing figures.
