The Prince of Lies once desired a royal throne over anything and anyone else, whether that meant hurting his brother, his parents, or millions of earthlings in the process. It’s at once a satisfying conclusion for Marvel’s flagship TV series and a bittersweet ending for one of its most tragic and beloved characters. Loki’s 12th and potentially final episode is the culmination of more than a decade of the Asgardian’s appearances in the MCU. He has effectively become the multiverse itself, the gatekeeper of all hero’s journeys past, present, and future. But by the end of the Season 2 finale, aptly titled “Glorious Purpose,” Loki has transformed into something beyond such simple narrative archetypes. He started as a villain, became something of an antihero, and then a full-fledged superhero. Throughout six movies and one live-action TV series since 2011’s Thor, no character in the MCU has had a more significant evolution than Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. At the end of the second season of Loki, the Asgardian finally finds his glorious purpose as a deity deserving of a new title: the God of Stories. It’s been a long time coming, but the God of Mischief is officially no more.
