Loki Is Officially the MCU's Best Character

Loki: Season 2 ended with a true bang, as Tom Hiddleston’s god of mischief made the ultimate sacrifice and proved himself every bit the hero his big brother Thor is. Before this episode, Loki already rivaled Josh Brolin’s Thanos as the best villain in the MCU. Now, he may just be the best character in the MCU, full stop. No other MCU character has come so far or been so fundamentally transformed over the course of so many movies and TV episodes.
As the dust of that epic finale settles, let’s take a look at how Loki: Season 2 brought the character full circle and delivered a fitting end to Loki Laufeyson’s story. And while we’re at it, is there still room for a Season 3?
Loki stars Tom Hiddleston, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Eugene Cordero, Tara Strong, Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino, Jonathan Majors and Neil Ellice. Season 2 is now streaming on Disney+.

A glorious purpose for a glorious character

He went from being burdened with glorious purpose, to purposed with glorious burden. Fantastic show, such a great character and a fitting end to the Loki character in the MCU. Well, this one at least ;)

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

It started and ended with glorious purpose, even the first and last ep titles reflected that.

[@KenMamba]

one of the most difficult things to do is a super villain doing a heroic thing.. what a poetic ending! Loki is on a tier of his own! 💚💚💚

[@jimadebo8888]

Did Loki go back in time & get rid of the 5/10 IGN score for season 2 episodes 1-4? 🤔

[@xxxsu8z3r0xxx6]

Well the first few episodes of season 2 weren’t great.. The last couple definitely saved the season.

[@ImBatman1222]

Loki's story is perfect and season 2's ending is a perfect ending for Hiddlesticks, he's become one of if not the most powerful being in the MCU but There is still a "Loki" out there, season 3 can be Sylvie centric

Movies sure, comics no. Characters like Spawn, Punisher or Ghost Rider have always been more popular than Loki.

He better be coming back in the Kang Dynasty saga. Mcu u better bring him back for us to see him with Thor

[@abiglad]

Loki was and is now recognized as a great MVU character turned hero.

[@rohankumarpanigrahi7475]

Loki asked Odin there must be a purpose for Odin taking his to Asgard. If Odin in MCU is anything like Odin in the comics he can see the future in a limited way. That's why he brought loki from jotunheim so frigga can teach her the magic he needs to save the multiverse.precisely what HWR lacks.

[@jackcrotteau4163]

This is true, but in large part due to the amount of quality exposure we hasve to Loki vs. the other characters.

[@rhovrox9291]

Can someone explain what loki did at the ending? So he retconned what happened on season 1? there is no more branching of timelines because he fixed it? halp!

[@zoc.6922]

No. Sylvie still kills He Who Remains at the end of season 1. Getting Victor Timely to widen the Temporal Loom doesn't work (because there are an infinite number of timelines). Instead of the TVA and the Temporal Loom killing all branches except for 1, Loki continuously powers the branches so they can keep growing, giving people freewill. He's there powering it so, he can never leave.
