Loki season 2 has largely been a satisfying ride that doesn't lose sight of why the first chapter of this story worked so well, but there were some concerns going into the final stretch. Namely, Kang's shadow has loomed over the entire thing, yet never fully manifested, and its main themes had to be handled with care in order not to repeat mistakes of the past. Well, worry no more, as the creative team and Marvel have completely stuck the landing.
In 'Glorious Purpose' (yes, that's how the first episode of season 1 of the show was titled too), Loki has mastered the ability to control time, but fixing it isn't as easy as it seems. Moreover, what's the price that must be paid to save everything while changing some things? It's a fun, time travel-heavy season (probably series) finale which ends on a bittersweet note in the best possible way, giving the titular character and his closer allies a logical and satisfying conclusion that feels both emotive and logical all the way through. Simply put, this is the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) at its best, a win many fans and casual moviegoers might quickly need right after watching The Marvels in cinemas.
