the day when i rate a marvel project a TEN has come, and what a surprise that it was LOKI. my oh my, this show did everything i did not expect it to do. such stellar writing, performances and development. i had zero expectations for this show. i just thought "lol look another mediocre cash grab from marvel" BUT i was blown out of the water. i heard this season was directed by the moon knight director duo and I APPRECIATE IT SM because the direction and cinematography this season was my favourite of any mcu-disney show to date. the first three episodes were fine in their own right, but they were mostly setup for the latter half of the season, which had my JAW DROPPING. murphy's law, "i want my friends back", "there is no comfort. you gotta choose your burden." I WAS LIVING FOR THIS. the way it goes all the way to the beginning—"i am burdened with glorious purpose"—and ends with loki serving that purpose, initially talking about how he's destined for a throne and finally getting one. like, WOW. mcu did this??? this is officially the best mcu character arc i've seen. i love this show and i love loki. i thought the timeslipping thing was an unnecessary one-off thing at first and was iffy abt it but when i saw the latter episodes i finally understood. man this show just. fjdjsijf. also, miss minutes was borderline terrifying this season. yandere crazed a.i. of your nightmares, for sure.
