Loki Gets His Throne

Throughout my life I have always been happy and proud to be a Doctor Who fan. However, for the first time, it was for practical reasons.

Without forty years of fictional time travel, I would not have been able to follow everything that happened in Loki season two on the first try with no confusion.

And OH BOY did a whole lot happen!

This could have been called "Bootstrap Paradox- The Series" and that's before the final couple of episodes where they threw the time travel into overdrive.

It was wild, strange and filled with exposition about how time travel, alternate realities, and the basic structure of the Marvel Multiverse worked.

Therefore, in order to keep it from being a giant, technically dull infodump, they chose Tom Hiddleston, one of the most charismatic and likeable actors in the MCU stable to headline it.

Adding on two other main characters played by actors with those same properties, Owen Wilson and Key Huy Quan, added to the engagement factor of the show. The rest of the cast performed similarly. Since most were as puzzled as the audience, we could enjoy their journey without having to understand every single moment as it happened.

It did all line up in the end, showing that both seasons were part of one, cohesive story running all the way through.

It was very cool, after multiple Marvel films treating Asgardians as technologically advanced aliens to finally put the "god" stick in the ground, in terms of their powers and abilities.

Talking any specifics would require either extensive spoilers or, at the minimum, intercausal explanations, meaning I'll only say, "Enjoy the ride!"

It is such fun to see Key Huy Quan doing well, and still being amazingly fun and likeable. As a fourteen year old fan of Indiana Jones, watching and reading all the behind the scenes information I could get a hold of at the time, it was clear that Quan, a year younger than I, was "one of us." It was a joy watching a fellow fan get to be on the big screen with Indy (and be directed by the man who made Superman the Movie in Goonies.)

It has been very cool seeing the thrill he has at being successful, back in the limelight, and continuing to appear as "one of us" being overly excited at every major even he shows up at and over every star he meets.
