Marvel Comics features a particularly terrible Thor villain who kills Jane Foster. Loki season 2 has the same character in a much smaller role.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning! This article contains spoilers for Loki season 2, episode 2.The Loki season 2 trailer teased the introduction of a terrifying Thor villain known for killing Jane Foster, but his actual appearance in the show demonstrates a wasted opportunity. The trailer shows Loki and partner Mobius M. Mobius attending a film premiere for Zaniac, the name of a minor Marvel Comics villain.
Loki Completely Changes Zaniac's Comics Origin In the comics, Dormammu, the evil ruler of the Dark Dimension whom Doctor Strange famously battles, sends a parasitic entity down to Earth. The entity goes on to possess multiple misogynistic men throughout history and make them serial killers, including the real-life Jack the Ripper. The entity eventually takes over Brad, as Zaniac is a film about a serial killer who violently targets women, a role Brad takes literally after his possession.
Despite being an annoying foil, MCU Brad displays no evil intentions or harmful views towards women. He only seems determined to return to his normal life on the Sacred Timeline, having become disillusioned with the TVA and its mission. The Loki version of Zaniac is merely a minor obstacle that the main character has to intimidate. He's a far cry from the powerful, possessed serial killer familiar to comic book readers.
Loki has multiple external forces and motivations acting upon him this season. He's already had to find Sylvie and still needs to fully reconcile with her. Loki's also dealt with his time slipping and working to prevent reality from breaking apart as the Sacred Timeline branches uncontrollably. Adding another villain to his story likely would have overcomplicated the plot, especially since Loki season 2 already has the TVA and Kang.
