Of all the bazillion characters that exist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Loki is hands down my favorite. The God of Mischief is, in my opinion, the most complex, intriguing, and entertaining character to watch. And Tom Hiddleston makes Loki a wonderful blend of charisma, vanity, two-facedness, longing, and so much more (and very easy on the eyes, I must say). I had no expectations for a Loki series, but I was blown away with the direction that Marvel took this one. The show feels the most like a comic book of all MCU stuff I've seen--the quick pace, bright colors, character interactions and reveals, endless cliffhangers--which was amazing and somehow also different than the rest of the MCU. And even with all that emphasis on artistry it also managed to bring us a level of character development and growth uncommon in Action/Superhero films. Loki truly has grown from villain to anti-hero. So good! I am impatient to see what will happen next. Gimme more!
