The mercurial villain Loki (Tom Hiddleston) resumes his role as the God of Mischief in a new series that takes place after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.”
Tom Hiddleston returns as the title character, joined by Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant.
In the episode, Loki is made to watch a series of memories from his past life (future life for him) after he is caught by the TVA after the New York attack. There are moments he shared with his brother Thor and also the death of his mother. He, who can rarely be trusted with showing his true emotions, appeared to be getting sadder with each memory, making fans feel bad for him too.
Fans took to Twitter to share their reactions. One wrote, “It sounds silly but we got to see loki live through what we all went through when infinity war came out… the shock and anger the sadness and horror it was all so interesting seeing loki a viewer of his life like us.” Another person wrote, “Wanda saw her past, loki saw his whole future, and bucky is healing from the past and trying to rebuild a future . . . o the beauty of the mcu.”
