Loki: Glorious Purpose (2021)
Season 1, Episode 1
6/10
Glorious Purpose
10 June 2021
A low key opening episode. Some of it was inspired by Terry Gilliam.

There was certainly a touch of Brazil, The Fisher King and Time Bandits.

The big issue is how you make a television show of a Marvel anti hero.

Loki is certainly a god of mischief and some of his character development in the Marvel movies may have to be rewound.

There was a lot of references to past Marvel movies. There had to be a lot of setting up such as the TVA and its workings.

I expect more twists in later episodes but so far this was decent enough. It was not mind blowing in the way Wandavision was in its set up.

I did wonder why Owen Wilson was made to look a lot like John Slattery who played Howard Stark in the MCU.
