RANKING LOKI EPISODES SERIES
Who’s ready to crown it a self-aware heavyweight champ? Me! Is that because this Disney+ defining teen series came out of the gate so extremely self-aware that it blazes right past the meta event horizon that would incinerate all other attempts at such a vertically integrated creative experiment, rolling instead to a victorious stop in the land of what I am, of this moment, going to be calling post-cringe? Ah! (Translation: Yes.) To crib the rhythm of a waning TikTok trend: Does it flaunt the platform’s corporate reach(™)? Yes. High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is a delight. High School Musical: The Musical: The Series “For a guy born to rule, you sure do lose a lot,” Mobius notes. Then again, he’s known for not living up to his own expectations at times.
One perhaps wishes for more when it comes to Loki. It’s not as groundbreakingly bonkers as WandaVision, but it’s also not as dourly macho as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. All of this to say: If you like Loki, the character, you’ll probably like Loki, the show. He is the king of arrogant grandstanding, withering looks, and the ability to turn on a dime and make you feel overwhelming pathos for him. The key to Loki-both the character and the show-is always Tom Hiddleston. Sure it takes a lot of convincing to get Loki on board at first, and no you can never tell whether or not he’s lying or what his ultimate game is, but that’s all part of the fun (and when the show is at its best). This Loki, now a “variant,” is essentially marked for extermination, until an agent named Mobius (Owen Wilson) advocates for him to help the TVA investigate a series of crimes suited to his unique skill set.įrom there, Loki turns into a kind of buddy-cop procedural before morphing into a potentially universe-collapsing meditation on self. He’s quickly apprehended by agents of the TVA (Time Variant Authority), who are charged with keeping the multiverse down to just one stream of approved reality. In Loki, our Asgardian prince starts off in 2012 where he deviates from the “sacred timeline” of events by snatching the Tesseract and zipping away from imprisonment. He’s not a one-off rushed through 120 minutes of storytelling, he’s a dynamic presence who has earned his own fandom.Īnd now, at last, he has his own show. It’s also the reason Loki has been the only truly successful Marvel villain to date, one who not only has a fully-realized backstory and emotional connection to the heroes, but who just keeps gloriously popping up (as the God of Mischief is wont to do). Tom Hiddleston has made the character iconic, and his portrayal-be it in Thor movies or Avengers get-togethers-is off-the-charts charming.

An OG associate of the Avengers universe, Loki remains the brightest spot of any movie he’s in.
RANKING LOKI EPISODES TV
Of all of the Marvel TV series on Disney+, Loki was the most highly anticipated. So even though we’re focusing on the best series for adult viewers (kids have plenty to choose from on the platform), if you’re looking for entertaining and probably pretty wholesome TV series-especially those featuring puppets-you’re in the right place: The list below features the best of Disney+’s current scripted original series (which also means no shows that aired on other Disney platforms in the past, like Disney Channel, ABC, or others). And though many of those other series are geared towards kids, in true Disney fashion, almost all are engineered to have four-quadrant appeal. While its Marvel and Star Wars series have certainly dominated the schedule and reignited the cause for the weekly release of episodes, rather than the binge model, there’s more to the platform than just expanded universe content. Though Disney+ entered the streaming service game with a splash, it took it a while to build its library of original TV shows.
