Loki Season 2: The Rare Marvel Project With A Purpose (But With 1 Major Problem)

Throughout his time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Loki has often found himself at a crossroads — hero or villain, brother or rival, son or successor. Now, Loki season 2 returns at a time when Marvel Studios and the industry it has dominated for the last decade or so is also at a crossroads. Writers have just scored a fair deal after a historic labor movement, actors will return to the table with the AMPTP soon, and Marvel VFX workers have just voted to unionize after reports of horrible working conditions. The future of the MCU itself is also in question and in some ways, it’s a miracle that Loki season 2 even exists. Much of Phases 4 and 5 have been filled with promises that may go unfulfilled — will we see Charlize Theron’s Clea or Harry Styles’ Eros again in this decade, if ever?
