The top 10 comic book movie and TV moments of 2023
By Mark Lynch
2. God of Stories
Comic book project: Loki
"I am Loki of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose” went from a clever quote to his fate. For someone who casts spells, Loki should know that words hold power. His purpose became to bear the weight of the entire multiverse. Maybe he spoke this into existence.
Loki’s final moments will become the greatest in Marvel Cinematic Universe history. The god who was once a villain became the savior of all reality. The rest of the world can now rest easy. The God of Stories is protecting them. The worst part is no one will ever know.
Again, burdened with glorious purpose.
1. The Flash series finale
Comic book project: The Flash (TV show)
You don’t need to see the series finale to understand why this is number one. For over a decade, the CW’s Arrowverse was the standard for comic book shows. If it wasn’t for their influence, companies wouldn't have invested time and money into franchises. Now, with The Flash airing its final episode, the Arrowverse has officially come to an end.
There may not have been scenes that rocked the world within the final episode, but the finale was enough. This is the end of an era. The Flash lasted nine seasons and produced over 175 episodes. It should be respected for everything it did and for being the last of the legacy.
