For this variant episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester turn once again to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to discuss the storytelling, characterization, and creative twists on the monomyth in Loki, the six-episode Disney+ series which recently concluded. In addition to discussing the character arcs of the core cast \\u2013 Loki, Sylvie, Mobius, and Renslayer \\u2013 we delve into the weighty themes and significant philosophical ideas underlying the series. We offer high praise for the successful collaboration of director Kate Herron and head writer Michael Waldron, who is poised to write the screenplay for the previously announced\\xa0Star Wars\\xa0movie being produced by MCU guru Kevin Feige.\\xa0Loki\\xa0certainly benefits from a second watch, which makes even more apparent the clever writing and honed storytelling in the series.
