And I may be in the minority, but I found that this show kept me at arm\u2019s length for its entire run because it is built around the Marvel Cinematic Universe\u2019s biggest trickster.

Before the film\u2019s two rival magicians, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale), become bitter enemies, they attend a performance in which an elderly, Asian magician seemingly produces a full fishbowl out of thin air on stage. After the show, Angier and Borden discreetly watch the magician leave through a side door. The man limps and is hunched over as he moves, seemingly requiring help to get into a carriage outside. \u201cLook at the man!\u201d Angier says, incredulous that Borden could think the magician could accomplish the trick by hiding the fishbowl between his legs. \u201c<em>This<\/em> is the trick,\u201d Borden replies. \u201cThis is the performance, right here. This is why no one can detect his methods.\u201d The magician\u2019s devotion to his art runs so deep that he is almost always \u201cperforming\u201d in order to preserve the illusion, even when he thinks people aren\u2019t watching.<\/p>\n<p>Loki, of course, is familiar with that level of deception. Throughout his appearances in the MCU, he has cheated, enslaved, manipulated, schemed, betrayed people, and faked his own death. He\u2019s the God of Mischief, and previous <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> have shown time and time again that nothing is what it seems when it comes to Loki.\u00a0He <em>wanted<\/em> to be imprisoned on that helicarrier in <em>The Avengers<\/em>.\u00a0He stole Odin\u2019s identity at the end of <em>Thor: The Dark World<\/em>.

The show knows this \u2013 the finale makes it explicit, with Sylvie and Loki coming to blows as their clashing world views are laid out in that scene I mentioned above. But the previous movies had already done so much work to establish Loki as the ultimate \u201cgotcha\u201d character that even when he gave Mobius (<strong>Owen Wilson<\/strong>) a hug in The Void in the fifth episode, a <em>tiny<\/em> part of me wondered if Loki would stab Mobius in that embrace, just for the shock value, and then explain that it was all part of some sort of grand plan that was being held back from the audience until the perfect moment.<\/p>\n<p>Hiddleston did great work as a version of this character who experienced profound change and growth, but as a viewer, I could only appreciate those changes after the credits rolled on the finale, when I definitively knew that he didn\u2019t have any final tricks up his sleeve. There are moments I think back on, where he\u2019s pouring his emotions into interactions he had with Sylvie, that I wish I could have fully engaged with in the moment without there being a nagging question of whether or not those emotions were all part of an elaborate act.<\/p>\n<p>If con man movies have taught me anything, it\u2019s that ultra-smart characters are always operating on another level, even factoring in what look like failures as parts of their cons, all the while knowing that those struggles were all part of the plan. As the MCU\u2019s ultimate con man, I simply could not trust that Loki wasn\u2019t waiting to pull back the curtain and unveil that his actions were part of some next-level scheme. Now that I know how things shake out, I think <em>Loki<\/em> will have the best re-watchability of any of Marvel\u2019s Disney+ shows thus far. It\u2019s just a shame that the looming possibility of the rug being pulled out from under the audience made me spend so much time concentrating watching Loki\u2019s hands metaphorically reaching for the edge of the rug instead of being able to focus on the character beats that were at the real core of the show.<\/p>\n<p><em>Loki<\/em>\u2018s complete first season is now streaming on Disney+.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
