This Week’s Most Noteworthy Performance: Tom Hiddleston

July 18, 2021 Gissane Sophia this week's most noteworthy performance, tv

July 11-17“For All Time, Always” | Loki Tom Hiddleston Tom Hiddleston always understands the assignments in front of him and goes for the extra credit every time too. He is essentially the embodiment of the latest internet meme because there are so few like Hiddleston who are able to escape so easily into whatever role they’ve just taken on. And in every way that matters, Tom Hiddleston is the reason Marvel’s Loki Laufeyson is as memorable of a character as he is. As someone who generally isn’t fond of villains (and more often than not isn’t even fascinated by the

Loki 1×06 “For All Time, Always” Highlights

July 15, 2021 Gissane Sophia features, tv

“For All Time, Always” not wrapping everything up in a neat little bow to indicate that the series is coming back for a second season is without question, the highlight of all this. It’s all that matters to me personally. It’s all I care about. Loki isn’t a limited series, it’s a series. Let that sink in for a moment. It’s the detail that we’ll get so much more Mobius, more Hunter B-15, more variants (maybe), and more impeccable performances by Tom Hiddleston as Loki that make us want to cry our eyes out every single time. And that continues

Loki 1×05 “Journey Into Mystery” Highlights

July 8, 2021 Gissane Sophia features, tv

For starters, I’d like to take a moment to complain about the fact that “Journey Into Mystery” is the penultimate episode and that means next week is the finale, which I just boldly reject. I want to watch and unpack Loki every week. I don’t want it to ever end. I have also decided that I just no longer understand the concept of time travel and neither does the Marvel Cinematic Universe—I say this with love. What I do understand however, is that quiet moments of character development will always be at the forefront of an excellent episode, and this

Loki 1×04 “The Nexus Event” Highlights

July 1, 2021 Gissane Sophia features, tv

Where does one even begin with an episode like “The Nexus Event?” Did anyone else stare at their wall for a good five minutes after the mid-credits scene?Because I did, and I would like to feel less alone about this. Loki is proving to be a series about self-love and self-discovery, and it’s doing so without being overtly obnoxious. It’s a series where words are blatantly spoken at times, but it never feels like it’s trying to sell the audience on something as much as it’s trying to evolve an incredibly complex character. And Loki Laufeyson has never been more

Loki 1×03 “Lamentis” Highlights

June 24, 2021 Gissane Sophia features, tv

“Lamentis” is one heck of an episode even in its quiet exhibition, which is what’s so stunning about this chaotic treasure of a series. In an unsurprising turn of events, Loki keeps getting better and better. We’re halfway through the series and already bummed that there will be an end in sight. Season two needs to happen. This cannot just be a mini-series, it’s too good for that. (I say this with utmost love.) Loki is chaos personified, and it’s exactly why he’s so beloved. “Lementis” might not have gotten us far in the realm of the TVA’s agenda, but

Loki 1×02 “The Variant” Highlights

June 17, 2021 Gissane Sophia features, tv

Spoilers for Loki episode two ahead please do not read further if you haven’t seen the new episode. “The Variant” proves that we have no idea what’s going on or who to trust, but that’s always been expected with Loki as a series, and it’s what makes this all such a confusing joy ride. The reality is, at the moment, we can’t even trust Loki, not really, at least not yet because he not only tells us not to, but he makes it clear that there’s still so much mischief to ensue. But still, we can at least trust him

Loki 1×01 “Glorious Purpose” Highlights

June 10, 2021 Gissane Sophia features, tv

Loki is back and in a surprising turn of events, he is making us cry from the very first episode. I’m not alone in this, right?

‘LOKI’ Trailer is Here and We Have A Million Questions

April 5, 2021 Jenna G news, tv

Yesterday Marvel dropped the new Black Widow trailer and today, we’ve got the Loki trailer, which is still two months too far away and we’re impatient. The best part of all this? We have no idea what is happening and judging by how well WandaVision handled our confusion with an incredible series, this oddly fills us with a strange sense of hope. Loki stealing the tesseract, his one true love, has naturally screwed with time and they now need his help to restore everything. No, he does not get a weapon. No, he is not fully trusted. Yes, he is
