Loki Season 2’s Reviews Are In, Fans Question If the Creators Lost Their Touch

Loki is hands-down one of the top Marvel TV shows you can catch on Disney Plus, and some might even argue it's the best one. It's undoubtedly one of the standout projects in the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe lineup. Fans have been super hyped for season 2, but now that the early reviews are in, they're... well, a mixed bag.

Critics received viewing access to the first four episodes of Loki season 2, and the overall vibe is reportedly pretty upbeat. But there are some "buts" in there that have given fans a reason or two to get a bit worried. The Marvel fandom on Reddit is buzzing with chatter, discussing the early reviews.

According to some critics, there's a sense of nostalgia for season 1's charm, its intricate plot twists, and the undeniable chemistry between the characters, but some still implied that season 1 might have set the bar a tad too high.

“It’s a shame that while Loki season 2 does retain much of season 1’s tone, it veers into more familiar Marvel fare. CGI battles, world-ending stakes, and a certain big bad are here,” said Fay Watson from GamesRadar.

While season 2 promises new adventures and challenges for our favorite God of Mischief, some fans are now worried that the magic of season 1 will be missing.

But it's not all doom and gloom. There are plenty of viewers who are positive about the upcoming chapter, regardless of what reviews say. There's no denying that opinions vary. Some people are raving about the new plot developments, while others are left scratching their heads, wondering if the series has lost its way.

Loki season 2 stands at an 82% approval rating based on 45 reviews with an average score of 7.1/10 on Rotten Tomatoes. On Metacritic, season 2’s score is 64, based on 18 reviews, which is not bad at all, but it is still lower than the season 1’s Metascore, which is 74.

The general sentiment is clear: viewers are divided. Some are defending the new season, saying it's too early to judge, and others now feel that season 2 might disappoint them.

Let’s not jump to conclusions as the premiere episode is almost here. Loki season 2 hits Disney Plus on October 5.
