The biggest masterpiece that Marvel created this year is not the forgettable movie series in theaters but the Loki season 2 series. Actually, the last episode of Loki was so good that I felt sorry for the mass audience in Vietnam, because Loki is an MCU character that they already know and have seen through many movies. Yet they haven’t seen the wonderful ending the character should have received on the big screen. Series Loki season 2 gave the once villain the most complete development. Complete like Captain America and even Iron Man. Completely like Iron Man snapping his fingers and sacrificing to save the world in Endgame. Here comes the spoiler! Phase 4 and phase 5 introduced audiences to a lot about the multiverse, but all of those multiverses have the ability to collide, creating incursions and threatening the safety of all. even the people living in that universe. In Loki season 2, the audience is introduced to the concept of the Time Loom. This is the machine carrying the burden, the last stop to keep order in all timelines, helping the universes not collide and erode each other.
However, the death of He Who Remains led to the infinite expansion of the time branches, overloading the time loom: the machine could not hold all of them to weave them together. into a fixed sacred timeline. At some point, Loki had only two options left: either let the loom explode and end every other universe, every branch of time, and sacrifice his friends; or go back to the past and kill the person you love to prevent everything from happening in the first place. However, either choice means eliminating the multiverse concept from the MCU. From a person full of selfishness, full of desire for power and destined to always be a failure, Loki saw the meaning of existence at TVA (Time Violations Central). First, he loves his own being. Then he had battles about morality and justice. He has friends and knows how to care for them. And in the end he sacrificed! He sacrificed to give a chance to all three things he realized he loved the most: a chance for the person he loved to live, a chance for his friends at TVA and a chance to live for all the lives in the world. endless universe.
From the beginning Loki has always been obsessed with the so-called “glorious purpose” – glorious purpose. He is just a selfish guy who desires to sit on the throne of Asgard and prove his abilities. In the final episode of Loki, he became exactly what he desired but in the face of a new person, a new Loki, a completely new god! He gradually stepped onto the throne outside of space and time, turning himself into a new weaving machine. He holds infinite branches of time in his hands, weaving them together to create a terrifyingly glorious scene in the history of the MCU: the cosmic tree Yggdrasil!
Oh my god, how can the writers of this series be so excellent! They played with the concept of "branch" in time and made Loki the one who kept all those branches to give Loki the task of making the heart of the world's great tree - a symbol of honor in Norse mythology! The villain who yearned for the small throne of Asgard is now the Hero sitting on the throne of the universe!
The ending scene of the series - Loki sitting among the tree branches, looking straight at the camera, smiling contentedly, giving a teary look is the MOST BEAUTIFUL, BEST Marvel movie scene in nearly 2 years! A beautiful coming to fruition for one of the characters that has been with audiences since the early days of Phase 1. Loki season 2 reminds me of how much I loved the MCU and how they can still make great works. What a great product.
