Part of you must feel sorry for the Time Variance Authority. In this entry, we explore Loki Episode 3 (“Lamentis”) and examine how the Loki variant Sylvie is more than an Enchantress.
#End of loki episode 3 series
In this story, Frog Thor meets another worthy frog, revealed to be a former human, who eventually becomes a character known as Throg.įor now, we can only hope Alligator Loki’s appearance will set up a future adventure with Frog Thor and Spider-Ham (the pig version of Spider-Man, as seen in comics and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”).Marvel Explained is our new ongoing series where we delve into the latest Marvel shows, movies, trailers, and news stories to divine the franchise’s future.

Speaking of Thor, Loki did turn his brother into a frog once in the comics, which led to a brief “ Frog Thor” storyline in the ‘80s. But I think he looks more like an alligator.) (Note: I have not independently confirmed Alligator Loki is an alligator. While Alligator Loki does not appear to originate in the comics, Loki has been shown to shape-shift into animals or even animal versions of other characters, like the time he turned into Cat Thor. Loki is a shapeshifter, and his power isn’t limited to transforming into other humans. There have been occasions in the comics where Loki is able to lift Thor’s hammer Mjolnir, which can only be wielded by those deemed “worthy.” The Loki portrayed by DeObia Oparei is described in the credits as “Boastful Loki,” and there does not seem to be an obvious comic book counterpart to his character.īoastful Loki appears to be armed with a hammer, however, so perhaps it is a version of Loki that is a bit more Thor-like. Others, including Kate Bishop and America Chavez, are slated to be introduced in the near future (in “Hawkeye” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” respectively). A number of Young Avengers have already been introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - including “ WandaVision” twins Billy and Tommy, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s” Eli and “Ant-Man’s” Cassie Lang. In a 2013 comic series, Kid Loki plays a part in reassembling the Young Avengers before aging up a bit. In order to save the world, Kid Loki lets the spirit of his past, older self kill him and take over his body - though his personality remains as a sort of conscience to pester this other self. Kid Loki is not at all evil and even develops a good relationship with his brother Thor. This younger Loki has lesser powers than adult Loki and no memories of his past self. In the comics, Kid Loki is a reincarnation of Loki, who died trying to defend Asgard after turning on the bad guys. Jack Veal’s character is described in the “Loki” credits as “Kid Loki,” and his look seems inspired by the comic book version of the character.Īs Hiddleston’s Loki mentions in the episode, Loki doesn’t often stay dead when people try to kill him.

To be hired for the Disney+ series, starring Tom Hiddleston as the god of mischief, the director knew she had to impress. Television To land ‘Loki,’ Kate Herron had to pull out all the stops. The older Loki of this series, however, was revealed to be a future version of the character (called King Loki) who had returned to his more evil ways.

Visually, he was portrayed as older and more slight than the recent redesigns.Ī version of Loki that more closely resembles this past evil incarnation was the villain in the 2014-15 “ Loki: Agent of Asgard” comic book series, which saw a younger Loki trying to atone for his past misdeeds. This Loki, who had a fierce, jealous grudge against his brother Thor and kept plotting to take him down, even came to be known as the God of Evil for his cruel actions. Making his official debut in the ‘60s, comic book Loki was originally a more straightforward villain than the sympathetic anti-hero he has evolved into in more recent depictions. In the credits, the character is referred to as “Classic Loki.”Ĭlassic Loki’s look resembles the design of the character in the comics as drawn by Jack Kirby (who co-created Loki along with Stan Lee and Larry Lieber). One new version of Loki glimpsed in the scene - which appears to take place in some post-apocalyptic New York if the crumbled buildings are any indication - is portrayed by Richard E.
