+
+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.
