In Loki, he learns what power looks like when it’s not impressive. His identity hinged on the powers afforded by the Infinity Stones. In The Avengers (2012), Loki sought an Infinity Stone with the power of an Infinity Stone kept inside his scepter. You can almost see Loki work out the logic in his head: If the relics that gave me power aren’t that powerful, then what am I? As Loki holds the Tesseract, his eyeballs fixed on the TVA logo, he asks, “Is this power?” It’s a big question. Loki is a big personality, and the worst he can imagine himself to be is small. Gazing into the Infinity Stones that clutter besides computer monitors, the god who basks in being the center of attention realizes his place in the universe is inconsequential. No one lifts a finger to stop the Infinity Stones from getting into the wrong hands because Thanos is, in fact, the right hands according to the Time Keepers. Though the events of Loki technically take place before Avengers: Infinity War, it’s also made clear the TVA is aware of all events in time and history (except maybe its own).
This one moment might also shake up fans’ perception of the well-established lore of the Marvel Universe.ĭon’t forget: it was the power of the Infinity Stones that wiped out half the universe. While first played for laughs, it quickly segues into something more poignant, and maybe traumatizing, for Loki. Like Loki himself, this revelation contains multitudes. Thanos spent years hunting for the Infinity Stones. As Loki is informed by a TVA employee Casey (played by Eugene Cordero, aka Jason’s best bud “Pillboi” in The Good Place), “Some of the guys use them as paperweights.” But when he does find it, he also finds other powerful, precious Infinity Stones scattered around, a few lie next to ballpoint pens in someone’s drawer. In Episode 1, Loki searches high and low in the offices of the Timeline Variance Authority for the Tesseract to escape. Loki’s order of business? Putting the past behind it. This isn’t the first step into what is known as Marvel’s “Phase Four,” that honor belongs to the uncanny WandaVisionfrom earlier this year, but Loki is helping the Marvel Cinematic Universe enter a new era.
In Loki, Tom Hiddleston returns as his Asgardian anti-hero, spinning off from a moment in Avengers: Endgame. Marvel spent eleven years making more than 20 movies that each cost millions of dollars apiece around the all-consuming power of.
