Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - Loki - Season Two

The second season of Loki, has just concluded. Friday was a huge day for streaming finales. Upload, Power Book IV: Force alongside Loki concluded. Across Amazon, Disney+ and Stan I have three less shows on rotation.

Based on Marvel Comics a spin-off from the Thor movies. Thi season we see Loki working with Mobius M. Mobius, Hunter B-15, and other members of the Time Variance Authority (TVA) to navigate the multiverse in order to find Sylvie, Ravonna Renslayer, and Miss Minutes. 

Tom Hiddleston returns as Loki, starring alongside Sophia Di Martino (Sylvie), Wunmi Mosaku (Hunter B-15), Eugene Cordero, Neil Ellice, Owen Wilson (Mobius), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Renslayer), Tara Strong (Miss Minutes), and Jonathan Majors.

New additions to the growing season two cast, Rafael Casal, Kate Dickie, Liz Carr, Ke Huy Quan, and Richard Dixon. 

The second season landed on Disney+ early October, concluding Friday as part of Phase Five of the MCU.


OK, I have no idea what happened this season. Also this concludes just in time for the Marvels film to land at the cinema. Marvel is all over this Disney world domination.

SPOILERS about the season/series (not yet renewed/not yet on the 2050 Disney planning roadmap) BELOW

As we enter episode six, the title Glorious Purpose has something final about it, right? So Loki time slips to the moment before the Temporal Loom's explosion.

Despite his attempts, the Loom always fails as it cannot accommodate the infinite branches. Loki slips to the moment before Sylvie kills He Who Remains, who tells Loki that the Loom is a fail-safe; overloading it protects the Sacred Timeline by deleting the branches along with the TVA. 

He Who Remains suggests Loki kill Sylvie to save the Loom, which Loki rejects. After speaking with Mobius and Sylvie at different moments in time, Loki replaces Timely in approaching the Loom. Loki destroys the Loom, magically revives the dying timelines and rearranges them into a tree-like structure, committing himself to oversee the branches in solitude at the End of Time. 

The TVA accepts the growing branches and now tracks He Who Remains' variants, with Mobius reporting one of them has been stopped at Earth-616's "adjacent realm". B-15 becomes one of the TVA's leaders.

Ouroboros reactivates a now-friendly Miss Minutes and writes a new TVA Guidebook with Timely as co-author. In 1863, Timely does not receive the TVA Guidebook. Renslayer awakens in the Void and encounters Alioth. Mobius retires from the TVA; he and Sylvie observe Don and Don's children.

So will this be the last time we see Loki on the small screen? Will he return to the big screen? Time will tell....
