Remember how Loki died in "Avengers: Infinity War"? Well, it turns out that the Loki we're following now is actually from a different reality.
Loki, the mischievous character from the Marvel movies, often finds himself in situations where he almost dies. Despite being a god, he faces death many times throughout his adventures.
Loki's journey in the (MCU) might seem satisfying on the surface, but it actually poses a problem for the wider franchise.
While Loki initially caused trouble, like helping Thanos and getting his brother Thor kicked out of their realm, Loki later pitched in to help the good guys fight against Thanos.
Loki's reaction to his mother Frigga's death shows some sorrow, especially since he feels responsible for it. However, when his father dies and his long-lost sister appears, he doesn't show much emotion.
One of the most ignored facts about Loki in the MCU is that he shouldn't be likable at all. Most of what he does and says is either unpleasant or straight-up lies.
In the finale of Loki season 2, the main character finally does something truly heroic.
Loki's one of his variants known as Classic Loki, portrayed by Richard E. Grant. Classic Loki creates a grand illusion of Asgard to distract Alioth, sacrificing himself to aid Loki's mission.
The unfortunate reality is that Loki wasn't very good at being a villain in the MCU.
In the early films of the MCU, Loki was portrayed as a rogue figure who craved chaos and power. His villainous schemes were driven partly by a longing for recognition and love from his father, Odin.
