TOM AFTER TIME
Will we see a different Loki now he’s no longer in Thor’s shadow?
Loki needs to evolve. The cycle was: Loki is trusted, he betrays, he becomes a villain, he learns to trust again, he’s betrayed, he becomes trusting again, he trusted again, then he betrays or feels betrayed. It’s just this endless cycle of trust and betrayal and resistance. And the character is essentially singing the same song over and over and over again. He’s trapped on a wheel of repetition, a compulsion to repeat the same damage, the same story. We are breaking that record. We’re releasing him from that trap. In this story, we’re showing that he can change, that he can grow.
