LOKI S2 Episode 2 graced Disney+ screens this Friday. In episode 2, we find Loki and Mobius in their continued search to locate the whereabouts of Sylvia, whilst facing off against elements of the TVA, who are bent on retaining order at any means possible.
Named “Breaking Bad”, without looking to give away too many spoilers, Loki and Mobius find themselves combining together for a bad cop, good cop routine, to slowly grind down Hunter X-05 [played by Rafael Casal]. The resulting interrogation leads to the realization of a plot that could have devastating impacts on every living being within the branched off timelines.
In Season 2, viewers will meet a new Loki—a Loki defined now by self-sacrifice and altruism. Having always struggled with the notion that he is inherently bad and that he is doomed always to make things worse, Season 2 is about redemption and showing up to protect the people whom you love. He comes to the realization that, as much as he wants to save the TVA, recognizing that it is the key to protecting the Multiverse, that it is his friends that he wants to protect.
“One of the things we talked about is how Loki always struggled with family in the MCU, but he’s found a new family in the TVA, and he’s found, in its breakdown, an understanding of himself,” explains Hiddleston. “Having his sense of self opened up, broken down, and rebuilt by Mobius and his colleagues at the TVA, and also his connection with Sylvie, there’s a new capacity, a new awareness to make connections with other people, and, actually, he realizes that those connections are all that matter in the end, and they’re connections that he wants to preserve. But now the stakes are higher.
