Marvel’s new series ‘Loki’ will fix Endgame’s biggest controversy

It has been several weeks since The Falcon and the Winter Soldier wrapped up, delivering the story we knew we were going to get. We learned how Falcon (Anthony Mackie) becomes the new Captain America and how Bucky (Sebastian Stan) starts being an Avenger in earnest. After a well-deserved break from Marvel Cinematic Universe stories, we’re about to get pulled back to the MCU — and this time around, we have no idea what's in store.

‘Loki’ will tell a much different story about Loki (Tom Hiddleston), the villain-turned-superhero-turned-villain we’ve grown to love in over a decade of MCU films. Why is he a villain again? That’s because the Loki we actually fell in love with died in Infinity War, and all that character arc was lost. Or better said, it was all a reset. Marvel replaced the original Loki with a version of the God of Mischief who we last saw at the end of The Avengers in 2012. It’s that Loki who got ahold of the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame and ran away, disrupting the natural flow of things in the process.

We do know from the trailers that Loki is absolutely the Marvel story we need to watch before we really dive into the multiverse with Spider-Man 3: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. And thanks to a new interview with head writer Michael Waldron, we know that Loki will “fix” one of the most controversial things about Endgame. We should warn you before we go any further that some spoilers might follow below.
