The Loki series doesn't rely on the rest of the MCU to function as a story because it works on its own terms and that's what makes it successful.

The Big Picture To say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe no longer has the support that it once did would be an understatement. Avengers: Endgame had managed to tie up the “Infinity Saga” in a satisfying way, but the new films and shows released as part of the “Multiverse Saga” have had continuously diminishing returns.

Release Date June 9, 2021 Cast Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Richard E. Grant Seasons 2 Studio Disney+ ‘Loki’ Uses the Multiverse to Its Advantage Close Although the multiversal storyline initially seemed like a fun way to expand the universe, it has been increasingly used as a lazy excuse to generate excitement. The overreliance on cameos from other Marvel properties has made the characters’ individual storylines feel less important.

The show’s setting also helps to feel disconnected from the rest of the Marvel universe. The Time Variance Authority office literally takes place outside of space and time; it doesn’t really matter what’s happening on Earth when there are more important things at stake. However, the nature of the TVA allows the series to occasionally flash back to key sequences within Loki’s past that have a significance upon his current journey.

The relationship between Mobius and Loki works perfectly for both MCU fans and novices. Their adventures feel like a fun buddy cop adventure that just so happens to take place in the MCU. While Mobius adds a healthy amount of comedy to the series, the usage of Loki’s variant Sylvie allowed the series to reach more emotionally complex places. Loki’s relationship with another version of himself allows him to analyze his choices, identity, and perspective.
