Good Bye to All That: Loki S1

This week on Good Bye To All That, Michael T. Ford III is
joined by Corey Pruitt aka
TASK, Comic Twitter personality and co-host of
the SuperSuit Show podcast, to
discuss the MCU's latest series on Disney Plus, LOKI, starring
Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as the titular character,
picking up from his escape with the Tesseract during the events
of AVENGERS: ENDGAME.


Show Topics discussed include:


- How LOKI differed from the two event series that preceded it,
and how knowing it was getting a second season affected the way
the narrative was constructed.


- The way the show benefited from tempered expectations to both
raise the stakes for the rest of the MCU meta narrative and
unleash a new Big Bad.


- What the unleashed MCU Multiverse could mean for the rest of
Phase 4 and beyond.


- The role of Jonathan Majors' He Who Remains in the season 1
climax, and what we'd like to see from other Kang variants.


- Whether the TVA worked overall, and what we think TVA 2.0 will
get up to in S2.


- Judge Renslayer, her overall effectiveness as both a character
and an antagonist, and what we'd like to see from her in S2.


- Richard E. Grant's performance as Classic Loki, and how his
single episode arc in the penultimate episode was Emmy-worthy.


- Sylvie's arc, and how it resonated for viewers who themselves
experienced childhood trauma.
