After "Wanda Vision" and "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier", the new Marvel drama "Rocky" starring Hitherto has finally started.

As a well-known villain in the Marvel universe, Loki has always been the true "white moonlight" in the hearts of fans. However, this drama version did not follow the timeline of the movie's release. The plot continued with the fourth "Avengers". At that time, Loki escaped from the scene using the dropped Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and "Rocky" started from here.

This article contains spoilers.

Loki, the second prince of Asgard, calls himself "the god of tricks", but the grim screenwriter doesn't arrange a debut for him, he falls into the Mongolian Gobi desert, because the escape path messes up the timeline, and is killed by a group of armored The guards arrested him on the spot for disrupting the sacred timeline.

Loki didn't see it well, and he had the idea of ​​running away, but this group of people was not easy to deal with. Loki was beaten to the ground by the policewoman, and he was put on a collar, becoming a kitten that was slaughtered.

Loki was brought into TVA, the Time Variation Administration. Its existence is to maintain the normal operation of the timeline created by the Time Guardian. Whenever an abnormal phenomenon that disrupts the flow of time is found, the guards will dispatch law enforcement. Yes, almost no one knows about this mysterious organization, people live on their own timeline, that's all.

The Time Variation Administration is like a fairly standard government department, it focuses on the trial of prisoners, and the workers in the system are somewhat condescending. Loki was naturally out of tune with this place. He was forcibly changed into prison uniforms, forcibly detained, and even his divine power was blocked.

Loki realized that he could not fight against the Time Mutation Administration, and without knowing the situation, he chose to be a well-behaved prisoner, and then wait for the opportunity to act.

At this time, another important role, Detective Mobius, also appeared. He hurriedly returned to the Time Variation Authority to observe the trial of Loki in court.

Throughout the trial, Loki maintained his arrogance as always. When the judge asked him if he wanted to defend himself, Loki replied, "God will not plead guilty". Interestingly, he also tried to frame the Avengers on the spot, but was ruthlessly refuted. , because the judge said that the reunion's journey is doomed, that is, normal.

Agent Mobius is very interested in Loki, and he applies to become Loki's supervisor. They had an in-depth chat. Mobius knew more about the Time Variation Authority than Loki. He also had more chips than Loki at this time and place. He kept digging holes to test Loki's true thoughts, which made him Loki was very disgusted.

In fact, he knows Loki better than Loki is, and Mobius methodically pierces Loki's mask, such as: Loki's intentional "bad image" for himself, as well as his imaginary greatness, are nothing more than She is covering for a sensitive and fragile heart.

In fact, Mobius wasn't worried about Loki's sabotage, and even admired the talkative bully who wanted to dominate. He shows Loki a key time sample of his life, allowing him to see his future and end.

The scene of the death of the large-scale society is undoubtedly the moment when the reunion appeared on the big screen. Among the people that Loki cares about most, they must have a place. Loki said that he would rule the earth, defeat Thor, and rule his hometown, but these are not his true want.

Especially when he saw the wrong things he had done before, such as hurting his adoptive mother, and still fell into grief. Loki is not indifferent, just because there is no role reserved for him in the team that speaks for justice.

Loki quickly found an opportunity to escape. In order to retrieve the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, he ran around in the Time Variation Administration, but found that both the Cosmic Rubik's Cube and the Infinity Stones had greatly depreciated here.

Even an ordinary civil servant is using the Infinity Stones as a paperweight. This box of colorful things is exactly what the villains want to get by provoking Star Wars. At this moment, Loki's worldview collapses, like a poor baby. Saw the rich man's toy room.

But he listened to Mobius' words and became curious about his ending. In fact, we all know that in "Avengers 3: Infinity War", Loki had been killed by Thanos. He sacrificed himself and eventually became The true hero of Asgard, not the villain he always wanted.

Although the ending has been decided, "Loki" recreated many scenes that made Marvel fans heartbroken, and they were unprepared to be stabbed in the mouth.

But the series still brings new information, it turns out that Loki has already seen his end with his own eyes! This reversal instantly creates a huge character void, forcing the audience to rethink what exactly Loki went through.

In the first episode, Loki quickly realizes his "fate", that no one can change his fate, and that his tricks, no matter how successful, are only part of a larger whole.

"Rocky" director Kate Herron opted for a rather retro visual style, and when Tom Hiddleston reprises his role as one of the most beloved villains in six Marvel movies, you'll find that "Rocky" is not The Marvel Cinematic Universe accessory that consumes audiences has instead opened up a whole new "Rocky World" with amazing imagination.

In the first episode, there are farce moments with unique Rocky style, such as: Rocky is put on a collar, which is completely in line with his cute pet attributes. When he thinks he is a dignified leader, but people around him see through him as a chattering troll, there is no doubt that Loki's evil is lovable, and the audience loves to watch him get scolded.

Although Loki is the absolute protagonist, the relationship between him and Mobius is also the most important part. The two are very shrewd and obviously do not trust each other, but they also quickly formed an alliance, which is different from the kind of wood that Thor is. , Mobius is obviously more suitable for sparking with Loki, whoever is a cat and who is a mouse will be the place to look forward to next.

In the first episode, in addition to helping the audience enter the memory killing, there are also creative ideas in details, such as: this thing like a security gate is more similar to the mirror in essence, and Loki is even tested to be a robot. This drama not only integrates comedy And the elements of police and gangster films, and some classic sci-fi films, it is really good.

As for Loki himself, he was thrown into a wave of "existentialism" discussions. He likes to see aliens invade the earth and has a desire to dominate the earth, but does Loki like to cause trouble for his brother Thor, or Do you really like hurting others? Does he want to liberate his subjects by "governing", or does he want to bring misery to more people? Did he choose to be a bad guy, or because he was born a "bad guy"?

Loki's evil is real, but so is his self-contradiction and thirst for "emotional identity," who saddled him with a horrific childhood in which he was never as loved and revered as Thor.

Whether it is in the Marvel movie or this show, what the audience can see is the fragile big boy, but it is unknown how much room "Rocky" will give Loki to grow, but after watching the first episode, It is certain that this drama has had a good start, and it is even better than the movie, and it is worth catching up.
