Character Evolution
Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal of Loki, the God of Mischief, has been a fan-favorite since his first appearance in 2011’s “Thor.” Over the years, Loki has transitioned from a cunning villain to an anti-hero with shades of redemption. “Loki” takes this evolution to the next level, as the character confronts his own narcissism, insecurities, and desire for power. The series explores Loki’s vulnerability, allowing the audience to empathize with a character who has often been defined by his mischief and deceit.
