Performed by the charismatic Tom Hiddleston
THE God of Mischief has new adventures in store for us across time and space. Indeed, at the end of season 1, the Asgardian antihero finds himself trapped in the many dimensions of the Multiverse. Along with Mobiusof B-15 fighter and a squad of old and new allies, he will try to save the Court of Anachronistic Variations (TVA) and the planet, threatened by a variant of Kang. But problem: Loki cannot control his space-time travels and can therefore find himself at the wrong time, in the wrong place.
The first opinions of spectators
Some lucky spectators were able to discover exclusively the first four episodes of the series. Without spoiling anything about the plot, here’s what they thought!
On the Rotten Tomatoes site, which brings together film reviews, the second season currently scores an honorable score of 83%. Proof that this season 2 maintains the strong momentum of its first batch of episodes. For some, it would even be the best spin-off series from the Marvel universe ! “Season 2 picks up where S1 left off with a frenetic and intense premiere. It’s excellent. The series manages to tell an epic and grandiose story while still feeling personal and intimate. Loki continues to be Marvel’s best series” we can read on Twitter.
Indeed, the first opinions highlight the work carried out on the visual style, which remains quirky and unique. As Brian Tallerico testifies: “Loki is a Marvel series with a strong sense of visual ingredients like the color palette, costume design, and art direction. I still think it’s considerably underlit at times, but I was more struck by the unique angles, crisp editing, and smooth camerawork this season. Frankly, a lot of Disney+ shows are ugly. Loki never is…“
Reviewers also rave about the quality of the casting. In addition to the actors present in season 1 such asOwen Wilson
Or Sophia Di Martinowe will have the opportunity to (re)discover Ke Huy Quanthe star of Everything Everywhere All at Once who just won an Oscar.
For lovers of multitemporal logic, this series is a real delight. As Jeremy Mathai wrote for /Film: “fans who have become accustomed to cookie-cutter plots and strangely unengaging adaptations of landmark comic book events may well be out of their minds. collective discomfort“. Indeed, “lhe season 2 of Loki positions itself as the rare streaming program to learn important lessons from its predecessor and take the next step, as the first four episodes screened to critics (out of a total of six) offer a perfectly realized, tightly scripted and consistently entertaining storyline“.
While some reviews claim that season 2 of Loki proves that the plot can still dazzle, others find that the series has far too many time jumps, technical jargon and abstract issues. In The Independent, Louis Chilton writes of this second season: “The story is also truly unpredictable from one episode to the next, although unnecessarily: detached from time and space, it’s hard to care about everything that’s going on. The issues are often so incomprehensible – entire universes, realities, on the verge of oblivion – which have practically no meaning.” For him, “Marvel Is Becoming a Failed State and Tom Hiddleston Can’t Save Itr”. An observation shared by other jaded fans of alternative realities of MCU.
To form your own opinion on the second season of the series, we invite you to watch it! Indeed, we must never forget that what pleases one person may completely displease another!
