![]() ![]() If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I hate time travel, especially in regards to Marvel and DC. So when I found out that the entire premise is time travel-related, my excitement for the show plummeted. I didn’t know what it would be about, what it would entail, or which characters would be involved. I had no idea what to expect from this show. ![]() Now, Marvel has finally put out a show all about the god of mischief himself, and I am so amped.īefore we continue, I must give you your OFFICIAL SPOILER WARNING. Got it? Okay, good. When we do return to the main storyline, it’s clear now that all bets are off.It’s been almost a decade since The Avengers (2012) came out, and since that fateful day little thirteen year old me saw it in theaters, Loki has been my favorite Marvel character. We learned there’s more to Loki than manipulation and maniacal planning. We established a relationship between Loki and Sylvie. But the third episode of “Loki” matters more than most. It certainly makes some of Agent Mobius’ (Owen Wilson) dialogue more interesting, and it kind of reshapes the way we look at the TVA overall.įiller episodes can often be forgotten. You can’t ignore that.Īnd if you need one more argument about how this episode isn’t a filler - there was a huge reveal in this episode about the TVA and its workers. We have an entirely new character that impressed on screen, becoming a potential character for the long term. She’s a welcome addition and one who could take over as the Loki-type character even if Tom Hiddleston steps away from the role. I can already say that Sylvie has staked her claim in the MCU. How this plays out moving forward will be interesting. But they all have the same core values of mischief, magic and meddling. The developments also tell us that Sylvie, as a Loki variant, had a completely different path than Loki to become who she is. It’s time for a change in scenery ✨ The third episode of Marvel Studios' #Loki is now streaming on /NA1zEKkF3D- Loki June 23, 2021 I know this is a small step but I’m happy, and heart is so full, to say that this is now Canon in #MCU,” Herron tweeted. ![]() “It is a part of who he is and who I am too. That’s the first time we’ve heard that about Loki. We also learn - as showrunner Kate Herron confirmed - Loki is bisexual, having had romantic relationships with men and women. ![]() It helps us understand more about Loki’s motivation, specifically how he is a lost boy trying to make his way in the universe. These details about our characters are necessary, too. The fact that they could give Loki even deeper development - despite his Marvel Cinematic Universe history - is a credit to Marvel, which continues to find ways to innovate and reshape the narrative around Loki. For Sylvie, it’s much of the same.Ĭharacter development is needed for Sylvie, since we don’t know her at all. We learn more about Loki’s past, his motivations and what, well, makes him tick. We see the two struggle to get along as they search for a way home. It included so much character development for both Loki and Sylvie (the actual name of Lady Loki, as we learned in this episode). We saw the Time Variance Authority lose Loki and this new Lady Loki.īut the third episode of “Loki” was not a filler episode. Last week, we see multiple timelines spinning out of control. So you could argue the third episode of “Loki” - titled “Lamentis” - is a filler episode because it takes us away from the main story. They tell a singular, bottleneck story that you often don’t remember as the rest of the series goes on. Filler episodes slide away from the main plot. On the surface, the third episode of “Loki” might seem like a filler episode of the television series. ![]()
