Find Loki’s glorious intention In the end, things finally came full circle Loki Season two in a way that the God of Mischief-turned-God of Stories perhaps couldn’t have imagined. Tom Hiddleston spoke about his 14-year journey as Loki on a current one Jimmy Kimmel Live! Look, Kimmel asked whether it was really the last time we would see the legendary Marvel anti-hero.
Hiddleston has said goodbye to Loki before with deaths that didn’t quite follow through – including Avengers: Infinity War, which turned out to be a variant of death. But the AvengersEra Loki, who took a break for this Avengers: Endgame In the end it was Loki that we followed Loki Series. So is this the end for Loki? “I don’t know, I really don’t know,” Hiddleston told the host, who asked if he had lied contractually (I’m not including him). Deadpool and Wolverine, To be honest). He added somewhat cryptically: “I know that We have reached a kind of narrative conclusion with the second seasonwhich is very satisfying for me.”
Loki’s redemption as the glue that literally holds the multiverse together as the God of Stories may mean he can only exist outside of the timeline – but is that proof that Loki is now a fully-fledged hero, given the villainous start to his journey consider? (I mean, is the Battle of New York still hard to imagine?) Hiddleston thinks so. “I’m aware that he made some interesting decisions that could be put together to create an image that looks like he was a villain, and once upon a time he made some misguided decisions,” he shared. Anyone who has followed Loki in the Disney+ series knows that he went through a huge multiversal ass-kicking and ego collapse because he had to learn how to fix time and everything in the multiverse over the course of hundreds of years, and through the loss of all the people he knew – and ultimately saves many more people than he carelessly left alive avenger.
Hiddleston continued. “You know, trying to take over New York and the Avengers having to rally to stop him, that was a bad day at the office,” he said, comparing it to the grand plan of his destiny more burden than glory. “I would like to think that 14 years later he is making some slightly more generous, loving and heroic decisions.”
Do you think Loki’s sacrifice to save everyone ultimately earned him a place in the pantheon of Marvel heroes? Let us know in the comments below.
