Loki - Breaking Bad

Largely ignoring more immediate threats, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Mobius (Owen Wilson) go in search of the missing Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) which leads them to Hunter X-05 (Rafael Casal) who abandoned his hunt for Sylvie to live out his life as a movie star in the late 1970s. The majority of the episode features Loki and Mobius capturing X-05 and then threatening and torturing him for information (showing off a bit of Loki’s more sinister side) before eventually leading to Loki’s reunion with Sylvie and basically lucking into a discovery of just what some members of the TVA are up to.

Loki - Ouroboros

The First Season of Loki was at its best when it was wild and chaotic and kept Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and the audience off guard. Things got a bit problematic at the end when events had to be explained. Unfortunately still locked into a Kang (Jonathan Majors) storyline, the show does get back to basics with Loki time-slipping through different eras inside the TVA. The episode introduces Ke Huy Quan as Ouroboros who is incredulous at Loki’s predicament but still helpful in offering a quite dangerous way he could be saved by removing himself from the timeline with the help of Mobius (Owen Wilson) who manages to not get his skin ripped off.

The third episode of Secret Invasion is only a marginal improvement over the first two episodes of the series It may reveal Gravik‘s (Kingsley Ben-Adir) big plan of creating Super-Skrulls but it doesn’t do much else. It teases us about the relationship between Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Varra (Charlayne Woodard) without exploring it. It kills off G’iah (Emilia Clarke) before she can become interesting, and gives Fury and and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) the opportunity to bicker like old lovers while stopping the Skrulls force an attack on an infiltrated nuclear submarine.

Secret Invasion – Resurrection & Promises

Inspired by the Marvel comic storyline of the same name, Secret Invasion provides a mini-series where Skrulls have infiltrated the globe and are actively working to take control of the planet for themselves. Given their introduction as refugees rather than terrorists in the film which also introduced Carol Danvers, the show has to work four times as hard to try and position the Skrulls as bad guys. Two episodes in, by giving us Skrulls who largely stay in the shape of a single human, rather than quickly jump as they please or remain in their natural state, each limiting their abilities (and the show’s budget), the results are mixed
