This review contains full spoilers for episode six of Loki, now available on Disney+.
It's fitting that as the finale to Loki Season 2 begins, the Marvel Studios logo is revealed in reverse. Watching this established universe revert – or "unspool" – back to the four-color parchment that gave the Marvel Cinematic Universe endless stories to adapt is a poetic note to begin what is inarguably the most contemplative and consequential chapter in this Disney+ series yet, not to mention in the MCU since Avengers: Endgame.
Going back to the beginning to undo the damage done in prior episodes is the chief function of "Glorious Purpose." Loki's (Tom Hiddleston) new powers make popping into crucial moments from the past an easy gimmick for the series to exploit. And, if these last two episodes of Loki had shared the same daft flavor most Marvel projects compulsively fall back on just when things get interesting and/or dramatic – like, say, the breaking of an entire universe – it would have felt like one. Instead, this season (series?) finale, written by Eric Martin and directed by Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, approaches the material with a sincerity and (gulp) finality that this franchise hasn't shown in years.
Even He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) comes back this week in a more subdued mood. The Season 1 finale saw Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) slay the conquering Kang variant, which sent the Sacred Timeline unspooling into infinite branches. Before she shoved her magic blade through his purple tunic, He waxed cosmic with the jittery energy of a goof-off philosophy major hopped up on Red Bull. When Loki intervenes to thwart Sylvie's fatal blow, only to trigger a loop where her determination to kill is pitted against his own to stop her, He tosses out the pretense, freezes Sylvie in stasis, and gives Loki the straight dope on the actual stakes of his demise. Once the conversation ends, Loki discovers that pursuing one's purpose is more of a burden than anticipated.
But that's jumping ahead. There's more to unpack in "Glorious Purpose" before discussing Loki's big life- and existence-altering decision. After last week's thrilling climax, when Loki returned minutes before Victor Timely (Majors) ran out to fix the Temporal Loop and was annihilated for his trouble, it seemed clear that Loki the Show was positioning its former God of Mischief to change tack and become the God of Stories at last. It's a suitable change for a character who has been in a state of spiritual upheaval since he swiped the Tesseract in Endgame and wound up a prisoner of the Time Variance Authority. It's almost as though this mature Loki Laufeyson is adopting the credo of another alliterative Marvel character; he's got great power, sure, but what about the responsibility that comes with it?
Loki is the new steward of the Marvel saga, not pruning branches but allowing them to grow.
“
Fixing the Sacred Timeline is on the agenda. The time-slipping powers that have given Loki (and Hiddleston's stringy wig) a workout since the season began – in an interestingly bendy twist, they're a gift from He Who Remains – allow him a chance to rewrite the script and save countless lives in the doing. It's also a chance to save Timely, undo the catastrophic events of last week, and, it turns out, reshape the entire season. Set to funky music from composer Natalie Holt (who absolutely kills it this week), we're treated to a montage of Loki popping in and out of earlier season moments in an increasingly desperate bid to fix the multiverse. Magic isn't enough on its own. What else might Loki need? Ouroboros (Ke Huy Quan) and his knowledge of physics are a good place to start. Fortunately, Loki isn't just a god; he's a quick study.
This leads to one of the better jokes of the season, a caption that reads "Centuries Later," which implies Loki just spent untold generations learning all there is to know about science. (It's a playful riff on "When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?" from The Avengers, although Tony Stark still holds the record in terms of vast knowledge acquired over time.) Imbued with new super-smarts, Hiddleston gets a chance to break free from the flummoxed rut he's been in since… well, since he laid siege on New York City all those years ago. His motor-mouthed geek-speak, spat out as Loki runs theoretical rings around Timely, O.B., Sylvie, Hunter B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku), poor Casey (Eugene Cordero) and Mobius (Owen Wilson), puts some comedic pep in Loki's – and Hiddleston's – step.
