Featured reviews
"Loki" sets a new standard for Marvel television by combining rich storytelling with deep character exploration. It successfully redefines what it means to be a hero (or antihero) while providing fans with an entertaining ride through time and space. Tom Hiddleston's performance is nothing short of iconic, supported by a talented cast that brings depth to every character.
With its stunning visuals, engaging narrative, and thought-provoking themes, "Loki" is not just another superhero show; it is an exploration of identity that resonates with audiences on multiple levels. As we follow Loki on his journey toward self-discovery, we are reminded that even those who seem irredeemable can find their path toward growth and understanding. This series is undoubtedly a triumph for Marvel-one that leaves viewers excited for what lies ahead in both Loki's journey and the broader MCU.

This is antihero energy for the win, and oh let's add the talented and wonderful Owen Wilson? I love Zoolander and Wes Anderson flicks. So having a solid performance by Owen always increases the value of the project. We should all be in. Keeper and watcher of the timelines, and finally sitting on his thrown that he's always wanted. What a twist, yet so perfectly casted, and done. This show is the best marvels put out. Period. Period. Period. Wandavision was also lovely. But let's bow down to the god of mischief and turning that into mischief managed. For now... Tom Hiddleston is one of my favorites in the MCU. Perfectly casted as Thor; I mean Loki. Watch, and you shan't be disappointed.
Loki was even better than I thought it would be and is easily one of the best Marvel series to date. Loki plays a huge part in this newest phase of the MCU, everything from the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie to the newest Ant-Man is tied into Loki. That's because Loki introduces us to the TVA (The Time Variance Authority). Besides Thanos, Loki is easily the next best villain turned antihero in the MCU. His evolution and character arc from a villain to antihero is done perfectly. As good as the writing is for this show it's Tom Hiddleston's performance as Loki that makes this the best of the Disney Marvel shows. What more can be said about Hiddleston that hasn't already been said? He's such an underrated actor and his best work has come as Loki. This also has fantastic performances from a great cast that includes Owen Wilson, Jonathan Majors, Ke Huy Quan, Sophia Di Martino, among others. I really can not recommend this incredible series enough.

Hello everyone, I'm Mr. C Reviewer, tonight we are discussing the TV Show, Loki. I watched it on Disney plus. The show first aired June 9, 2021. Each episode has a runtime of about 50 minutes. It was rated 12. The show was directed by Kate Herron and created by Michael Waldron, Bisha K. Ali, Elissa Karasik and Eric Martin for episode one. Some of the characters was created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby.
Summary: The cunning god of mischief, embarks on a thrilling adventure following his escape.
Review: -I appreciated the show's opening, which takes place immediately following the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019). Where a version of Loki, escapes from captivity using the Tesseract during a time heist gone wrong. While watching the show there was times that I found the pacing to be inconsistent; some episodes felt prolonged while others hurried through significant plot developments. This uneven rhythm contributed to a disjointed viewing experience. Despite this, I appreciated the show's unique narrative structure, which incorporates elements of time travel and alternate realities. The introduction of the Time Variance Authority (TVA) adds an intriguing bureaucratic dimension to the superhero genre, opening up fresh storytelling avenues that maintained my interest. This innovative approach to world-building was particularly enjoyable for fans who appreciate intricate plots that weave together various timelines. A key aspect I found of the show was Loki's struggle with his sense of self, particularly regarding his past actions and future possibilities. This journey resonates with viewers who value stories cantered on personal growth and self-acceptance, highlighting the complexities of identity in a changing world. I appreciated how Loki's distinctive humour was seamlessly woven into the show, offering a sense of levity amidst its serious themes. This balance enhanced my experience, as I sought both entertainment and deeper messages. I found the gore in the show to be visually impressive; some scenes appeared quite realistic. As an autistic individual, I was especially grateful for the inclusion of subtitles, which made it easier to follow the dialogue. I was happy that it told us what was being said when it was in another language.
I admired how the film's cinematography skilfully employed a variety of shot types to enhance its storytelling. Close-up shots effectively captured the emotional nuances of characters during intense dialogue, allowing viewers to connect deeply with their expressions and reactions, thereby enhancing dramatic tension. Medium shots established character interactions while providing context about their surroundings. Wide shots showcased the expansive settings of the Time Variance Authority (TVA) headquarters and other locations, emphasizing the unique brutalist architectural designs. The series effectively employed overhead shots to evoke a sense of surveillance and control by the TVA over Loki. Dynamic tracking shots followed characters through diverse environments, enhancing the narrative's urgency. In contrast, static shots were utilized during dialogue-heavy scenes, fostering a contemplative atmosphere that emphasized character interactions. Lighting played a pivotal role, with single light sources casting dramatic shadows that deepened character portrayal and mood. Characters were often framed centrally against architecturally intriguing backgrounds, reminiscent of classic noir cinema.
I found the visual effects in Loki to be remarkable, as they played a crucial role in establishing the show's distinctive aesthetic and narrative. The series masterfully combined practical effects with CGI to craft its unique settings, especially within the Time Variance Authority (TVA). The CGI was particularly effective in conveying intricate ideas such as time travel and alternate realities, which added significant depth to the storyline. The vibrant colours and creative designs contributed to an immersive visual experience that captivated viewers. I appreciated how the show provided on-screen text to indicate our current setting and year. I found the film's soundtrack and sound effects to be particularly effective, as they complemented the scenes.
-I enjoyed encountering the characters, reconnecting with Loki, and meeting new faces. It was fascinating to delve deeper into their backgrounds and personalities throughout the series. However, I would have appreciated a bit more depth and backstory for certain characters. I liked the introduction of figures like Sylvie and Mobius, they embody strong, multifaceted female roles that significantly enhance the narrative. The series effectively explores Loki's motivations, insecurities, and personal growth over the episodes, which added a layer of humanity to a character previously viewed mainly as a villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The portrayal of antagonists in this show enriches the storyline; I feel that they were depicted with complex motivations that challenge conventional villain stereotypes rather than being portrayed as purely evil.
-I found the conclusion of season one quite satisfying and well-executed. However, I did notice that a couple of episode endings felt somewhat predictable. I appreciated that by the end of episode six, we finally uncovered the identity of the person behind the TVA. Additionally, I enjoyed the extra scene included at the end of episode four. The crime and mystery atmosphere reflected in the ending credits of each episode was particularly captivating and added to my overall enjoyment.
I rate each Show I watch out of 10 and for this one, I give it a 7.5 Remember this was what I thought about the Program personally and I suggest that you give it a go for yourself.
