The Marvel Cinematic Universe is expanding. Coming out of the cinema, it is spreading on OTT. Whatever is happening in the world in the last one and a half years and due to this whatever is changing in our lives, it is also affecting the new stories appearing on OTT. Shrikant Tiwari of ‘The Family Man‘ has to fight the conspiracy of Corona in the next season. Here, an important character of the ‘Avengers’ series has reached a different world. This branch of the story has grown from there in the MCU, where Loki tried to escape after the Tesseract was captured in the MCU timeline in 2012. Imagine what would happen if Loki reached a place that was from a different world apart from Earth’s timeline. And, there should be people who are responsible for keeping the timeline running from their scheduled time and who are responsible for punishing those who break the timeline!

Loki is in a new world Surprised and upset, But, the bad ugliness is still there as before. Even now he enjoys torturing others. In childhood, the king of Asgard had brought him from his enemy’s place. Raised him like his own son. But Loki never forgets the anguish of those days. He is currently in TVA. Trans Variant Authority. For this, Loki is just a variant. Variant out of the way. Something similar to the corona ‘ran’ from China’s Wuhan lab. The properties of both seem to be very similar. For the first time, this character of MCU looks like an outrage. He is not able to do what his mind wants. But, Loki is Loki after all. He is different from all the villains seen in the MCU. Despite his mischief, the audience feels connected to him. That Avenger Na Hua To Kya Hua, despite all its flaws, he has his own popularity and that is why Marvel Studios has given him a different web series.

The web series ‘Loki’, which released on Disney Plus Hotstar on Wednesday, expands the imagination of Marvel Studios in myriad directions. Prior to this, Marvel has released two series named ‘WandaVision’ and ‘The Faulker and the Winter Soldier’. This effort to give due respect to the marginalized characters in the Avengers series of films and to grow new seedlings on this huge tree by going back in the story on this pretext has been effective. MCU fans may not have seen the thrill, spaciousness and tightness of its films in the first two series, but these series of Marvel have definitely given a lot of relief to the fans of MCU during the lockdown.

The first two episodes of Marvel Studios’ new series ‘Loki’ were made available to critics ahead of release. According to these two episodes, Tom Hiddleston in the character of ‘Loki’ looks very close to reality. He is here with a new gesture. A glimpse of what happens when someone who considers himself to be a god comes to the surface of reality, one can understand Loki’s changing face from moment to moment. Tom Hiddleston has tried to draw the line even further from his famous series ‘The Night Manager’ with his acting here. Tom Hiddleston, who joined the MCU exactly 10 years ago with the 2011 film ‘Thor’, has a golden opportunity to reinvent himself. This is also the biggest turning point in Tom’s career, who has turned 40.

A unique world of TVA has been set up for the web series ‘Loki’. Trying to understand the beginning and end of this world is the real thrill of this series. Director Kate Heron’s specialty here lies in the fact that the charisma of this world does not overshadow the skill of the actors. There is a jail here, there is a court, there is also a provision for quick punishment if the security personnel do not obey. Fire is their enemy. And, the series also shows you what is the cost in this world for the things that the Avengers and Thanos fought for till ‘Endgame’? Owen Wilson as TVA’s Agent Mobius has also found a character in which he has got a chance to give a new twist to his past characters while remaining restrained. The rest of the actors of the series are also seen working hard according to their characters. The matter has become interesting. The series is also available in Hindi.
