LOKI

In this episode it is observed how loki tries to change his destiny by escaping with the third act of the avengers, however the time patrol tries to capture him to end his life and correct that deviation. Within the dimension of time it is clearly seen how time can be controlled by 3 extraterrestrial beings without as much good intentions as it is believed and then we will see how Loki goes from villain to a kind of antihero. It leaves us all astonished since when observing Loki what his destiny would be like in the original timeline, he realizes that his life was going the wrong way and reveals that he was only a villain because he felt weak and wanted to hide that. The fact that surprised everyone the most was when Loki was the villain of the time patrol, since one of the variants of him was the greatest villain they had. At this point it seems unlikely that Loki is an ally of the Time Patrol, but we'll see what happens later. I liked the naive detective portrayal of Owen Wilson who tries to play psychologist with Loki, who is the god of lies, ultimately failing in his attempt and complicating things even more for the time patrol. We will see how these two characters complement each other later and it will be somewhat funny how they try to work as a team. I hope to see later characters from the MCU like doctor strange or ancestral showing us more concepts of the workings of time or being the defenders or the heroes in this story. I remember in the trailers how it seemed that Natasha Romanov, Black Widow was going to appear, but she was another character that would make her appearance in this series. Again Marvel playing with the viewer to attract more nostalgic audience haha. Another of the curiosities of this episode was how the variants of loki evolved to be such powerful characters not only being a loki male, but versions such as lady loki, old loki or kid loki. Unlike the other marvel series such as falcon and the winter soldier and wanda vision, in a single episode the internal motivations were seen and why loki behaved like this. Living as an adopted brother never felt the same as Thor's family and that frustration that grew in him since he was little turned into the fear that we see that motivated him to perform that antagonistic role that, looking at it from an external perspective, it is seen that it was incoherent because He did not have a very strong motivation to be the villain as if they had hurt a loved one, they only hurt his ego and he felt minimized and inferior. It may be that at some point he wanted to be Odin's successor and knew that he would never achieve that because he was not the one not because he was a member of Odin's rival clan but that he did not have the leadership that Thor did, and he never knew how to understand his position that was more supportive of Thor and he must have taken it that way. However, he was only someone who wanted to destroy his planet if he was not the king of Asgarth. He never measured the implications of being the god of the universe and what could happen that would happen. He never thought what would happen if he didn't have everyone's backing? Maybe the avengers could organize and easily defeat him or other extraterrestrial beings in the universe? , Let us remember that Thanos, no matter how powerful he was, achievements be defeated by joining many beings in the universe, even Wanda could defeat him alone if her Thanos soldiers had not intervened as seen in the avenger end game movie. Clearly Disney Plus has brought us in one episode the transformation from villain to antihero. But I would like to hear your opinion on this.
