1. Loki season 2
The second season of Loki took the MCU by storm, proving to be a spectacular triumph and arguably the best Marvel TV series in recent years. My MCU husband Tom Hiddleston, reprising his role as the lovably narcissistic Norse god, and Owen Wilson as the ever-charming Agent Mobius, brought their A-game in this time-hopping adventure.
Loki wasn't just about the flashy time travel and cosmic escapades - it was also a showcase of brilliant performances and emotional depth. The show dazzled not just with its storyline but with its visual style as well, featuring meticulously designed sets that transported viewers to different eras, from '70s London to 19th-century Chicago. Every episode was a visual treat, complete with period-specific details that added layers of authenticity to the time-travel escapades.
It was this combination of strong performances, intricate plot, and stunning visual design that elevated Loki to the top of the MCU's 2023 releases. The show managed to create and sustain a narrative that was both fun and thought-provoking, keeping viewers on their toes with unexpected twists and turns.
In a year filled with various Marvel releases, Loki stood out as not just a continuation of a beloved character's story but as a testament to the creative heights the MCU can achieve when it blends its unique brand of storytelling with top-notch production and acting talent.
All hail Loki, God of Marvel (literally - he's the one keeping everyone we know in the MCU alive).
As we exit 2023 and prepare to dive into 2024, I can't wait to see what all is in store of us when it comes to the MCU.
