The Marvel Cinematic Universe has not had a pleasant time of late. While Phase 4 made for a nice coda to Avengers: Endgame by covering figures like Hawkeye and the Scarlet Witch as they dealt with the fallout from the Blip, Phase 5 has by and large laid an egg. The Marvels’ disappointing box office returns put the capper on an underwhelming year, leaving the mega-franchise with a decidedly unclear path forward.Loki Season 2 has been a rare bright spot, building on the considerable goodwill of Season 1 to deliver a thoroughly satisfying conclusion to the God of Mischief’s post-Endgame adventures. A Loki Season 3 has not yet been confirmed as of this writing, but even if Season 2 is the end of the road, it closes Loki’s story on a creative high note. More importantly, it’s done the one thing that no other MCU property has done since Endgame: move the saga forward. Without it, Marvel would be in even worse shape than it is now.Armchair quarterbacking the MCU’s woes has become a cottage industry. Phase 5 thus far has been littered with misfires, from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to Secret Invasion. Besides Loki, the biggest winner thus far has been Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3, with its success eclipsed by director James Gunn’s subsequent departure to co-lead the DCU. What’s left is a surprisingly disjointed collection of projects, linked in the usual manner of Easter eggs and intertwining supporting figures, but failing to gel into an overall storyline. The Skrulls in The Marvels, for instance, make no reference to the events of Secret Invasion besides acknowledging their status as intergalactic refugees.Loki Season 2’s Stellar Finale is Blessed with Glorious Purpose
