Loki Season 2 Review - A Promising Start To Loki's Fight For His Existence & Survival Of Timelines

Loki Season 2 Review: Tom Hiddleston is back as Loki in season 2. The first season of Loki was my favourite MCU thing released as a series, even though it left me unsatisfied with the last episode. Now, I realise that they had too much to explore in the upcoming season, and that's why they had to wrap things up in an incomplete way last year. In season 2, we see Loki back at work, immersed in problems, and trying to make himself more stable and healthy to fight the inevitable.Loki Season 2 starts where we left Season 1, as Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is dumped into another timeline. Mobius (Owen Wilson) and other team members at TVA don't recognise Loki and take him for an intruder they were looking for. Of course, their memories are wiped off by the man who created TVA. Loki takes Mobius in confidence and works for his own stability. They seek help from expert OB (Ke Huy Quan), who might have a weapon to bring Loki back in the present timeline. Will he succeed? That's what you see in episodes 7 and 8, followed by Loki's search for Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), a varient and his lover.Loki Season 2 is damn interesting after the first 10 minutes are over. The best part is Loki trying to be a villain, forgetting his hero-driven duties. "Stop being a hero, man. You are a villain, and you are good at it," says one of the characters, and the audience went clapping for it. Loki's struggle is more visible this time because, by now, he is aware of this time-breaking world and its consequences. Maybe we will see more action in the upcoming episodes, which we missed here. Season 2 is more about learning tricks than explosions and action, which is quite contrary to regular Marvel material. Nonetheless, it's a nice break, I believe.Since I am not allowed to give away spoilers, all I can gather to say is that Loki S2 is a promising start to Loki's story that has shades of Arrival, Tenet, and a superhero trademark of the MCU. Tom Hiddleston is superb as Loki yet again. Somewhat enchanting and teasing, but never out of order. Sophia Di Martino hardly has 2-3 scenes, so let's not talk about her. As a surprising package, we have Ke Huy Quan doing a lot of techie talk. He is both funny and smart. Apart from Tom, Loki S2 is ruled by Owen Wilson, who has a significant amount of screen time. We may see more of Jonathan Majors, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, and others in the next episode, so let's wait. The technical aspects are good, including the cinematography, editing, and background score. A special mention to the VFX team for making Loki go-mad-shaking-in-parts. As a whole, this sequel to the Best MCU TV Series has enough entertainment and is promising enough to be recommended.
