Loki Season 2 is one of the few shows that hasn’t been delayed to next year. Marvel has decided to stick with the Fall release date despite active Hollywood strikes which would mean limited promotions. The show boasts one of the highest budgets for a Disney+ show. According to Forbes, Loki season 2 costed $141 million to make across its six episodes, equating to roughly $23.5 million per episode. Considering the success of the first season, such heavy monetary investment from Marvel makes sense. Anything Marvel has put out this year, except for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, hasn’t worked. There is no hype for The Marvels as well. So, if Marvel wants to end 2023 with a bang then Loki season 2 is their best shot. So, did they? Let’s see if the critics think so.
Loki Season 2 Early Reviews Are Positive!
Brandon Davis (ComicBook.com) – “‘Loki’ Season 2 rules. The first 4 episodes have a thrilling time-traveling mystery and charm. Some of the TVA sci-fi jargon is hard to follow. The cast is tremendous together. The sets are great. Overall, it’s awesome. Hoping Episodes 5 & 6 stick the landing!” He added, “Yes, Ke Huy Quan is brilliant in ‘Loki’. His character has a key role in Season 2. He brings so much charm and joy to this show, brilliant chemistry with the rest of the cast.”
Erik Davis (Fandango) – “I LOVE ‘Loki’! I’ve watched the first 4 episodes & #Loki continues to be my favorite MCU show. This season has a more frantic pace to it, which keeps tensions high the entire time. Still brainy & weird w/ great chemistry among its cast. Ke Huy Quan is a big scene stealer of course, but the story – full of time travel, timelines, trickery & a guy named Timely – is reminiscent of Marvel Studios at its best & most entertaining. Eps 5 & 6 are gonna be wild!”
Jamie Jirak (Phase Zero) – “I had a blast at the ‘Loki’ launch event. I only stayed for the first episode, because I want to remain a woman of the people on Phase Zero but I LOVED IT. The direction and cinematography blew me away. I missed Tom and Owen so much. Ke Huy Quan MVP!!”
Jenna Anderson (ComicBook.com) – “‘Loki’ Season 2 is, by far, my favorite thing Disney+ has released this year. The cinematography is outstanding, and the cast does a great job of carrying what could be a very overwhelming plot. It’s not flawless, but I dig it.” She also jumped on, “As a Mobius and Ravonna girlie, I’m very happy with where their storylines seem to be headed in ‘Loki’ Season 2. And unsurprisingly, Ke Huy Quan is absolutely wonderful.”
Erik Swann (Cinema Blend) – “He Who Remains is gone, but ‘Loki’ remains must-see TV! I’ve seen Season 2’s first four episodes, and they’re just as kooky, charming, funny and sweet as one would hope. Eric Martin takes on EP duties and skillfully builds on the show’s mythology. Fans are in for a wild ride.”
Alex Zalben (Decider) – “I have some issues with ‘Loki’ Season 2 (based on the first 4 eps). Direction isn’t as strong, it feels a little more like TVA: The Series Featuring Loki, the Jonathan Majors of it all. But it’s still a blast to watch, and Ke Huy Quan is the perfect addition to the cast.”
Eric Italiano (Brobible) – “‘Loki’ reminds us what makes the MCU tick is merging a character with creators who understand their tone. S2 epitomizes that, as the God of Mischief’s journey feels absurd yet important — his world gonzo but deeply felt and real. The series stands as a true post-‘Endgame’ highlight.”
Chris Killian (ComicBook.com) – “So I’ve seen the first few episodes of the second season of ‘Loki’ and it continues to be the highest quality Marvel content out of the D+ series. Tom and Owen’s chemistry remains top notch but the real MVP is Ke Huy Quan who is – no surprise – fantastic. Steals every scene.”
Rob Keyes (Screen Rant) – “Watched the first four (out of six) episodes for ‘Loki’ season 2 and loved it. I didn’t love first season and this is better, faster, and takes bigger swings. Depending how they followup the WILD fourth episode, it might be the best Marvel Studios show on Disney+. Much needed.”
Kirsten Acuna (Insider) – “Watched the first 4 eps of ‘Loki’ Season 2. Not exactly what I expected given Season 1’s end. Love seeing Hiddleston + Wilson back together, but it’s a bit tough to follow at times. (Had to rewatch some of it twice.) Too much McDonald’s. Ke Huy Quan is the show’s best addition.”
Nicole Drum (ComicBook.com) – “‘Loki’ Season 2 is still the best thing at the MCU party but Season 2 definitely has its hiccups, especially with pacing, and doesn’t quite live up to Season 1. It’s cinematography and direction are EPIC, though, and it is an absolute must-watch even with its issues.”
Loki Season 2 will start streaming on Disney+ from 6th October 2023. Season 1 is available for streaming on the same.
