What do you make when a villain actually gets popular and the person in the part
|
||
|
|
is actually liked? You turn it into a hero!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sure, it worked wonders for Catwoman.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But yeah, this time is Loki.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the action of taking the tesseract in "Endgame", Loki is now under arrest by
|
||
|
|
some time agency, which you never heard before, for "breaking the timeline". Of
|
||
|
|
course, the Avengers, when they broke the timeline, it was expected, so they are
|
||
|
|
Ok, but Loki is not. So, what happens? The agency hires Loki to take the other
|
||
|
|
representations of Loki, so now Loki is in to save the universe.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, while "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" tracked the problem with the way USA
|
||
|
|
deals with black people (including black soldiers) and "Wandavision" tracked the
|
||
|
|
problem of dealing with loss, "Loki" deals with... the idea of turning a villain
|
||
|
|
into a hero for money.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not that Tom Hiddleston let his acting down, or even Owen Wilson, but the fact
|
||
|
|
that the series was created purely to take on the popularity of Hiddleston
|
||
|
|
character is a major let down.
