“Loki Recap” Articles

It feels weird admitting that something as trivial as a Marvel movie thrust open theism back to my consciousness.

Perhaps Loki’s moment of self-clarity all the way back in episode one was actually describing the TVA itself: “It’s part of the illusion. It’s the cruel, elaborate trick conjured by the weak to inspire fear.”

At the very least, even if you learn that much of what you loved was an illusion or enchantment, your pain is the grief of something real.
