In Loki Season 2, the God of Mischief (Tom Hiddleston) is on a quest to save the TVA from the multiverse. It’s a far cry from his attitude at the top of Season 1: back then, Loki was fresh off his “glorious” tirade in The Avengers, and still set on some form of world domination. His path eventually crosses with Agent Mobius (Owen Wilson), whose particular brand of tough love opens Loki’s eyes to his endless cycle of self interest. By the time he teams up with Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), and faces off with the ominous He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), Loki finally seems ready to accept that he’s not actually the center of the universe. It’s the very thing that makes Loki such a personal, unique story — and defies one of the MCU’s more tedious new habits in the process.
