Loki

 The God of Misschief is back in his own Marvel series!



After being killed by Thanos, it turns out he isn't dead after all.  Because somehow before that event he tricked his escape, resulting in a distortion of the timeline.

To that end, he is apprehended by Mobius, an agent of the Tome Variance Agency, who are out to rectify these variants.  This is done by removing them from timelines, in order that it restores itself to it's prime form.

But as a greater thread to the timeline is running amok, they offer him a choice.  Help them out or be erased from the timeline.  He accepts, and quickly finds out it is a female variant of himself, calling herself Sylvie, that is the issue.  As he escapes the TVA together with her, he learns that the agency isn't what it appears to be and that someone or something is pulling the strings behind the curtains.



He goes to look for it, and comes across a whole planet filled with Loki variants, some loyal to each other, others betraying them to get to the throne themselves.  As they are hunted by a monster in the clouds, who takes down several of them, he and Sylvie come to a mysterious mansion at the end of time.

Here they encounter He Who Remains, a variant of a scientist that discovered the whole intertwining timelines, and founded the TVA to prevent history and war from repeating himself.  But being stuck in isolation that long seemingly did have it's effects.



Now Loki and Sylvie must decide wether they believe and follow his reasoning, or will try to change the flow of time...

An amusing series for sure, and Tom Hiddleston remains glorious in the fallen Asgardian.  The series, counting 6 episodes, is a bit short though, but a second season is in production so this fan favorite character still hasn't sung his last notes in the MCU after all.
