\"loki<\/p>\n

Loki<\/em><\/strong> looks out of this world \u2014 this reality, even. And that\u2019s the intention of the upcoming Disney+ limited series<\/a> centering around Tom Hiddleston<\/strong>\u2018s God of Mischief, who we last saw in\u00a0Avengers: Endgame<\/a><\/em> stealing the Tesseract and teleporting off to goodness knows where. And it turns out, Loki isn\u2019t so sure himself, as the trickster god finds himself jumping through time, and various realities, and app<\/a>arently pursued (and at one point, captured) by a mysterious organization known as the TVA, led by\u00a0Owen Wilson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot to unpack in the jam-packed\u00a0Loki<\/em> trailer, so let\u2019s head into our trailer breakdown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The trailer starts off with a minute of footage from\u00a0Avengers: Endgame<\/em>, leading up to Loki\u2019s theft of the Tesseract and his disappearance. Then, a flash of weird cosmic lighting that forms some kind of tunnel through space and time, and we cut to: the desert, where a disheveled Loki has landed, just as perplexed as we are. He\u2019s greeted by three Mongolian-looking people, and his eyes flicker back and forth, apparently considering his options.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Things only get stranger from there, as we cut to the interior of a Marriott Hotel<\/del> mysterious building that seems to house infinite floors, each with stranger and stranger designations \u2014 LK3, 2W1, FHF, VG2, 3FG, CET, XN1, and TSL among them, with peculiar \u201cx\u201d and \u201c=\u201d signs in the middle, and a symbol that looks like a smiley face. What could they mean? I can\u2019t say for sure, but if the Marvel Comics depiction of the organization that runs this building, the TVA (or\u00a0Time Variance Authority<\/strong>) is correct, then they each level could house different realities and timelines.
\nIn the comics, the Time Variance Authority is an organization responsible for monitoring the multiverse and maintaining interdimensional order\u2026and can even bring an end timelines if they\u2019re deemed too dangerous to exist. Which makes a trickster god like Loki in possession of a stone that allows him to bend space their worst nightmare.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYou taking me somewhere to kill me?\u201d an imprisoned Loki, wearing a collar and a jumpsuit with the \u201cTVA\u201d logo emblazoned on his chest, asks his captor.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo I\u2019m taking you someplace to talk,\u201d Owen Wilson\u2019s cryptic new character wryly responds, to which he and Loki engage in a back-and-forth about the trickster god\u2019s tendency to lie, going so far as to take a mocking tone with Loki \u2014 which proves that Wilson\u2019s character is one of the few not intimidated by him. So who is Wilson playing? His character was not confirmed at the Disney Investors conference, but \u2014 in perhaps a slip of the hand from Marvel \u2014 the captions on the trailer for\u00a0Loki<\/em> refer to Wilson\u2019s character as \u201cMobius M. Mobius,\u201d a mid-level manager of the TVA, who is one of dozens of clones (all taking the appearance of\u00a0long-time Marvel writer\/editor, and continuity expert, Mark Gruenwald, in a Marvel meta-joke). This isn\u2019t confirmation that Wilson is playing Mobius M. Mobius, but it definitely suggests he is \u2014 especially with the cropped hair and mustache he shares with the comics character<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More hints are given as to the TVA\u2019s powers, as Loki asks his captor how long he\u2019s been there, and Wilson responds, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to say, you know, time passes differently here in the TVA,\u201d before pushing him through the elevator doors.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Suddenly we cut to a new setting, where a soldier enters a darkened tent. The trailer is cut in a way that suggests that as soon as Loki was thrust through the elevator doors, he was thrust into a new world (or reality), but that\u2019s likely a bit of fancy editing. Still, it sets us up for an intriguing series of events, in which a unit of soldiers scope out this darkened outdoor area, lit only by gas lamps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is where things become even more puzzling and difficult to explain. A hooded figure appears, apparently at the same setting that the soldiers are scoping out. The figure carries a gas lamp, which the figure then throws on the ground, lighting the grass on fire.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAs the fire spreads, one of the soldiers scrambles away \u2014 but he stands out from the rest. The helmet that tumbles off his head bears some resemblance to Captain America\u2019s World War II helmet, and his uniform bears some parallels to that of the first Avenger\u2019s, though the bearded brunette man beneath the helmet is clearly not Chris Evans. It\u2019s possible that this is an alternate version of Captain America, being attacked by the hooded figure. This may confirm the rumors that the villain of the series \u2014 and the figure in the hood \u2014 is an alternate Loki from a different dimension, who has been rumored to be played<\/a> by Richard E. Grant<\/strong>. Grant was confirmed to be part of the\u00a0Loki<\/em> cast last night, though Marvel was naturally tight-lipped on his role. However, the hints from this trailer lend nicely to the rumors that Grant is playing Old Man Loki, a villainous future form of Loki from an alternate timeline, who may be set up as the Big Bad for the series.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But we have to be reminded that this Loki in the limited series is not the reformed Loki, but the one still hot off his crimes in\u00a0The Avengers<\/em>. He may not be as keen to help the TVA maintain cosmic order, as seen in this shot where Loki is back in his old outfit, looking in the mirror and remarking, \u201cGlorious.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Back at the TVA, Loki appears to be taken to trial by the organization\u2019s top authorities, with\u00a0Gugu Mbatha-Raw<\/strong> presiding as judge. Behind her are three faces carved into the wooden wall, which is interesting since, in the comics, the TVA is literally a faceless bureaucracy \u2014 most of its agents being artificial clones without faces, sent to monitor each divergent reality. But a few higher-ranking judges enforce the TVA\u2019s regulations\u00a0including Justice Peace, Justice Love, Justice Goodwill, Justice\u00a0Might, Justice Truth, and Justice Liberty.\u00a0The TVA is also led by a mysterious being known as Mr. Alternity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mbatha-Raw may be playing one of these justices \u2014 who, in the comics, sometimes have a tendency to go rogue and commit the crimes they\u2019re meant to prevent. Which may explain a later scene which sees Mbatha-Raw\u2019s character, flanked by two agents, fighting with Loki.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More sculptures within this seemingly infinite TVA building. I\u2019m guessing they\u2019re the same three figures in the courtroom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In another sequence with the imprisoned Loki, he\u2019s shown scenes of the lead-up to his capture by the Avengers over a hologram, which Loki turns his head away from, in shame. It suggests Loki is captured soon after he teleported away with the Tesseract, his defeat still fresh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But an interesting turn of events takes place halfway through the trailer: Loki appears to be working with the TVA, or at least accompanying them on a mission at a store called \u201cBoxxcart,\u201d where the agents take down a man for crimes unknown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In one of the most intriguing shots of the trailer Wilson\u2019s character (who may or may not be Mobius M. Mobius), hands something over to a little white-haired girl, as they stand under the refracted light shining through a stained glass window pane of a demonic figure surrounded by cosmic imagery. Who is this ethereal-looking girl? A guardian of some dimension or reality? One that is evil, considering the demonic figure on the glass? It\u2019s too hard to say for now, but it\u2019s clear that\u00a0Loki<\/em> is stepping up its visuals in a big way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Loki is getting tossed around the TVA a lot, landing in a depot with a metal detector covered in some red paint, standing over a scorched piece of floor. Another TVA staff member glances at Loki with mild annoyance as Loki appears to look for a way out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking of stepping up the visuals, look at this gorgeous, cosmic image of what appears to be a planet or moon crumbling to pieces. Perhaps an effect of Loki\u2019s reality-warping mischief?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apparently beneath that crumbling moon\/asteroid\/planet, sits a young girl in the ruins of her planet, bathed in a purple light. The next shot shows meteors showering down on this same planet surface. There\u2019s also the possibility that this is one of the instances when the TVA puts a \u201cstop\u201d to timelines considered too dangerous to exist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Loki, in the TVA jacket we saw him in before while accompanying the agents into the Boxxcart store, stands among the ruins of a city. It\u2019s another stunning, intriguing piece of imagery that I can\u2019t make heads or tails of.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But in one fo the most fun twists of the trailer, we see Loki board a plane as D.B. Cooper \u2014 yes,\u00a0that<\/em><\/a> D.B. Cooper. The man behind the hijacking of the\u00a0Boeing 727 aircraft in 1971, who managed to\u00a0extort $200,000 in ransom money and parachute out of the airplane, never to be seen again. The manhunt for Cooper and his disappearance has remained one of the greatest unsolved cases of the 20th century, but here we get a magical little spin on it: that Loki was D.B. Cooper, and that his disappearance is explained by Heimdall suddenly beaming him up to Asgard as he jumps out of the plane.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When\u00a0Loki<\/em> was first announced, we\u2019d heard many descriptions of it being a \u201ctime-hopping\u201d adventure, and thus far we\u2019d seen little of that, except for the D.B. Cooper scene. But in a short scene of Loki tossing a tunic-wearing woman out of the way, we get another glimpse of what appears to be a historical setting that the god of mischief has found himself in (still wearing the TVA agent gear).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Has Loki become an agent for the TVA, finding himself in increasingly absurd situations? That seems to be the case with this one sequence which sees a man dressed remarkably like\u00a0M\u2019Baku from\u00a0Black Panther<\/em> taking a hammer to a Loki lookalike, knocking the antler helm off his head, as the real Loki looks on in shock behind the fray. There are vines and wreckage bursting through ceilings and walls of this room, which suggests realities colliding in some way.<\/p>\n

\"loki<\/p>\n

The final scene of the trailer, in which Loki wears a green suit and his antler helm, with a political \u201cLoki\u201d sticker on his chest, appears to be a deliberate nod to the\u00a0Vote Loki<\/em> comic book arc by\u00a0Christopher Hastings, a four-part 2016 comic book run that parodied the 2016 presidential elections and followed Loki\u2019s\u00a0controversial political campaign for President of the United States.<\/p>\n

Another alternate reality that Loki finds himself in? Or perhaps a sign of the decaying barriers between realities, as he is in the same destroyed room as before (filled with artifacts from across history) surrounded by various historical warriors, also wearing Loki stickers, who quickly turn on the Norse god after he smugly remarks, \u201cWhat did you expect?\u201d<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know what we expected, nor what to expect, when\u00a0Loki<\/em> hits Disney+ in May 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
