Loki, God of Mischief, finds himself captured by the Time Variance Authority and made a prisoner. The Time Variance Authority protects the Time Line by policing “Variants” that might disrupt the Time Line producing war and chaos. Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, initially resists the offer of TVA detective Mobius (Owen Wilson) to help them capture a murderous Variant, but changes his mind when he gets a glimpse of his Fate.
I also liked Wunmi Mosaku as a SWAT Time cop and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as a Judge in the Time Court. Yes, the first episode (of six) was a little silly, but I’m getting the feeling the action is going to amp up soon. Are you a fan of Loki? GRADE: Incomplete…but trending up!
So…Marvel films pilfering from Fritz Leiber, more or less?
Todd, very similar to Leiber’s Time War stories.
I really enjoyed episode one. All the actors played their parts to perfection, plus Gugu Mbatha-Raw is always easy on the eyes.
Jerry, I can’t wait until the second episode of LOKI drops!
No Disney Plus here, but yes, I am a big fan of Hiddleston’s Loki.
Jeff, you would enjoy Hiddleston’s latest incarnation of Loki!
Since I get not get rid of Disney, I may try it but your description makes it seem like already missed crucial understanding of the concepts.
cannot get rid of
Patti, there are enough flashbacks in LOKI to bring you up to speed. Give LOKI a try.
Hiddleston looks a lot like Jack KIrby’s early Loki.
Dan, very perceptive! You’re right, of course. And I think Hiddleston has embraced the role. He’s also a producer on this series.
1. don’t like the character 2. don’t have D+ 3. silly plot. Try Jodi Taylor’s DOING TIME, the beginning of her new Time Police series instead.
Never heard of it!
