Loki not only spared time on the screen, but also saved the MCU narrative

Loki and Multiverse
Loki was no longer serious of the post-Endgame. Has become, without anyone waiting for him, in Angular stone of the MultiverseThat concept that now defines all phases 4 and 5 of the MCU. While movies like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness or Spider-Man: No Way Home The titles were taken for their cameo and visual explosions, it was Loki What laid the foundations, the rules and limits of what it is and is not possible when we talk about alternative realities.
The series introduced the Temporary variation authority (TVA)He masterfully explained how the temporary journey works in this universe and has put the wonder in a comfortable position: now they could decide which events they applied and which they were not. Did you like Tobey Maguire’s Spider? It is now a canon. What about Wesley Snipes Blade? It also adapts. All thanks to that “sacred temporary line” that defined the future … and the past.
But the influence of Loki He didn’t stop there. Michael Waldron, his main screenwriter, was in charge of guaranteeing that Doctor Strange 2 He did not break the rules established. “I became the boy with the institutional knowledge of the multiverse,” explained Waldron. And although at the moment he has weighed so much responsibility, the reality is that his work has ended up being the map that the rest of the MC should have continued.
From chaos to heart
Away from laser rays and cosmic battles, Loki OPTED for personal drama. Instead of a cameo parade, we find a Introspective seriesconcentrated on Emotional evolution of the god of deception. Loki, played as always by an immense Tom Hiddleston, was forced to see from the outside. His defeats, his betrayals, his deaths … all in front of Mobius (Owen Wilson) who exercised as therapist with almost celestial patience.
This dynamic The arrogant Loki dismantledleaving him without his ego, his power and his rhetoric. What we saw went to a broken character who, for the first time, was looking for something different: redemption, understanding and, perhaps, love. His relationship with Sylvie, a female variant of himself, was much more than a romantic entanglement: it was a brilliant metaphor Accepts how one is.
The new Marvel quality standard
Many fans think so Loki It was the best thing that happened to MCU from Endgame. And it’s no coincidence. While some recent productions have been received with indifference, those who have shone – such as Deadpool and Wolverine or Thunderbolts– They followed the trail of Loki: Less fireworks, deeper.

In ThunderboltsFor example, Marvel introduced one of his most powerful characters, The Sentry (played by Lewis Pullman), but he did it within an intimate story about Gray moral, past errors and redemption. The same is happening with Daredevil: born againAnother series that focuses more on “who we are” than on “what we can do”.
Marvel’s trick is not the CGI. It is the heart.
And it’s here Loki Has marked the difference: A closed and round story, which does not need ten films to work. Also, if tomorrow you decide to stop seeing Marvel and finish LokiGo with the feeling of having seen a complete job. It doesn’t happen every day.
A change that has enriched Marvelita narrative
Loki Not only did he order the chaos of the multiverse. Also He remembered Marvel and his fans because we fell in love with these characters. At a time when the effort of superheroes feels at every premiere, the god of deception has shown that, with good stories and emotional development, The MCU still has a lot to offer.

And while we hope to see Loki return Avengers: DoomsdayOne thing is clear: Marvel Multiverse does not make sense without him.
