One thing I’ve always found so fascinating about Marvel Studios is their continuity skills. If you look at the sequel trilogy, the characters in The Force Awakens act completely differently in The Last Jedi (Hux and Poe being the prime examples for this fact.) And yet massive ensemble films like Infinity War manage to take every hero from their respective franchises and perfectly incorporate them, unique personalities and all, into the movie.

As I’ve watched Loki for the past three weeks I have thoroughly enjoyed the film but one thing I kept wondering to myself, did the show actually treat Loki like his 2012 self? And I have come to the conclusion that no, they didn’t. And that’s actually a good thing.
