His tall, thin, boyishly handsome frame and looks made him the beau hunk opposite of Chris Hemsworth’s beefy Thor.
Disney’s “Loki” series grapples with the reality that not only is Loki dead, but maybe he should stay that way.
It’s believed that a “unique Loki perspective” is required to track and stop a particularly dangerous time-variant that’s been preying on TVA agents.
But will his mischievous nature prevent him from gaining forgiveness? The brother of the hero Thor is one conflicted soul, but the use of his talents is akin to relying on Hannibal Lecter to catch the Tooth Fairy.
After watching the first two episodes of the gleeful and sometimes jokey “Loki,” it’s going to be tough for creator Michael Waldron to reconcile the character’s unforgivable past and thrust Loki fully into a heroic position.
But this time, mainly due to Wilson’s maturity, he’s an unlikable sad sack, but Wilson makes him a hopeful guy who can see good even in the face of what’s believed to be evil.
And it would be good to see the two back together in a future episode.
With theaters now reopening and the theatrical box office awakening, one wonders if Disney will continue the expensive dual pace of movies and series.
