After experiencing two more disappointing Marvel new works of "Black Widow" and "Falcon and Winter Soldier", followed by the finale of "Rocky Season One", it can be said that it is in love, and the momentum is stronger than Marvel and Disney+'s first work "Wanda Vision".
In the time and length of the series, "Rocky" played more openly, and this is also Marvel's super bold attempt, I believe that the fourth phase of the MCU will be more crazy than the first three stages.
Although it is already the end, many fans say that just 6 episodes is not enough to watch, and there are still many mysteries that have not yet been solved.
In the finale battle, I finally met the hidden mirror behind the Time Mutation Administration's TVA, the "Lost Man" played by the african American actor Jonathan Majors (later became the more familiar "Conquistador Kang" for Marvel comic book fans).
In the end, until the end credits were completely finished, there were no surprises, only the preview of "Rocky" will return next season.
Following the plot of "Avengers 4: Endgame", Loki escapes from the Battle of New York in a parallel time and space, falls into another parallel time and space, but falls into the crisis at the end of time.
Each Disney+ Marvel plot has distinct and different characteristics, such as "Wanda Vision" is a love horror, "Falcon and winter soldier" is an action thriller, then "Rocky" is a science fiction + comedy.
As the most popular villain in the MCU, Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, has a very vivid funny image in the play, and the chemical magic of another comedy giant, Owen Wilson, shines brightly and has a strong sense of comedy.
"Rocky" is not only a story that spoofs a parallel time and space, but also the introspective growth path of the character Loki.
From the villains in "Thor" and "Avengers", to this time slowly from the villain to the road of justice, and even fell in love, the 6 episodes of "Rocky" are delicately depicted.
Coupled with the wonderful performance of Jitter Sen, it can be called the throne of the Emperor.
In terms of science fiction plot, the parallel time and space of "Avengers 4" to test the bull knife is officially carried forward in "Rocky".
Using science fiction combined with action investigation elements, it reveals an unprecedented new realm, and even overturns the inherent timeline and subverts the audience's imagination.
In particular, the foresight of the last two episodes is absolutely bold.
If a year ago you had interpreted "Blow your head off" for the complex time and space of the divine drama "Dark Third Season", a year later, "Rocky" has a more visual and complex concept of space-time, which will definitely open your mind.
Loki absconded during the Battle of New York, fell into a mysterious time and space, and became a "time criminal", and was captured by the Time Administration. Agent Mobius of the Time Administration tells Loki that he is disrupting the order of space-time and breaking the rules of different timelines, but at the same time there is another loki in parallel time and space to create chaos, and it is up to Loki to "stop himself".
In the process, Loki meets another "self", and even develops strange feelings for "himself", and gradually discovers the secret behind the Time Bureau, which definitely has more serious consequences than disturbing the timeline.
Even though Loki was killed at the beginning of Avengers 3, the mischievous god can continue to appear as long as there is a parallel time and space.
The plot of "Loki" follows the plot of "Avengers 4", which is not about which parallel time and space Loki is engaged in conspiracy and wants to seize power in Asgard, to some extent, this is also a growth journey of Loki, and it is also the most memorable part of the whole play.
After watching the "Black Widow" solo film, the inner description of the character is extremely one-sided, and "Loki" is also a personal episode, and the character who is loved and hated is full of figurative depictions.
Indeed, at first he was still a little rogue and clever as ever, but gradually found that his mana was not useful at all in the Time Administration, and began to learn how to face himself, and even came out of the haze of the past and became a new self.
Not only is it a story of parallel time and space, Loki also has to face his own fate, and it is also the most in-depth moment of the character.
Instead of living in hatred, he is also a person who craves love and wants to attract attention.
In this process, we must not only grow and accept our own imperfections, but also learn to bear and learn to trust strangers.
The different "I" in parallel time and space may be the same origin, but he who foresees the future in which time and space, is not a rogue villain, and even when he can become a righteous hero, the role should be truly transformed.
Even if we watch him "appear" many times, this indie story depicts him in great depth, and it is the best character development in several recent Marvel independent movies and series.
In addition to being a "different me" coming-of-age story, another surprise of Loki is to see Loki in love.
In the previous works, it is difficult for the audience to imagine that Loki will have a love line, but in this setting, this world view, Loki's love story, although a little awkward, has become the most heartwarming pair of CPs in Marvel stories.
Sophia di Martino and Tom Hiddleston's fresh and natural performances also made the audience more engaged.
Both can be said to be in parallel time and space, the loneliest person in the nearly whole universe, and the same most of his life is living in hatred, driven by fate, and the spark of love is wiped out.
The relationship between the two is gradually and slowly established, from not playing the joy of not knowing each other to the ambiguous lover, the process is like a normal person, the turn is natural, and there is no lack of rich romantic atmosphere with a few strokes.
Two people who have never understood love and never wanted to believe in others, how awkward it is to talk about love, Loki's warm male upper body, incomparably tender eyes, even the male audience such as me can see it.
No matter how strong the man is, in front of the person he likes, he will change another way, and the ambiguous confession scene has become a major climax of the whole play.
The love line is a pure love man who has just entered the love scene, and the friendship line of "Rocky" can also be considered.
The new "Time Bureau" agents in the play, Möbius, and Loki are obviously incompatible, but they are not just blindly hard and funny.
The process of the two people constantly "fighting mouths" in the first two episodes is no less than The "chaotic" disrespect in other films, or even more so, and it is definitely more impressive than the blunt and abrupt emotional turn between "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier".
The two male protagonists are also comedians, and the two "elementary school chicken" style partners are sparkled.
When the two have been born for a long time and become friends after death, desperate to cooperate with each other and save the universe, they have also become a considerable link outside the love line.
In terms of the description of the emotional line, the "Rocky" lines are well balanced and can also be linked to the main plot, which is the best of the nearly three Marvel works.
Unlike the other two films, which are just stories that extend the world of cinema, "Rocky" is really creating a new worldview, and even feels that the past work is to be pushed back and restarted, and the ambition and challenge are even greater.
But frankly, in the story laying, this space-time worldview is more complicated than the "Dark" cosmology, and it may not understand what happened for a moment or three (even if you watch the complete drama, it may not understand, and the next season will continue), but in an ultra-avant-garde way, it dismantles multiple parallel time-space, time-end, butterfly effect and other phenomena for the audience.
These super difficult issues should be difficult for the audience to understand in this regard, but "Rocky" uses the most superficial way to dismantle the difficult theories for the audience.
Through different images and metaphors, he will tell his own worldview and "gameplay".
Even if the audience does not understand what is happening, they will still be immersed in it and enjoy watching it.
The most appreciated plot successfully combines Loki's personal growth story, and from the first episode onwards, the audience follows him through the storm to discover what happened behind the scenes and what the Time Authority is.
In the process of solving the puzzle, Loki has grown and seems to be interesting.
Falling in love with the finale, you may really feel that there is no beginning and no end, only the bravado is almost a whole episode of chattering about what happens in the literary drama, and then laying out the timeline of next season and other movies, when it can become an indispensable important turning point for the MCU.
Technically, "Rocky" is also like the other two works, the scene is like a movie-level big production.
Personally, I think this is the largest visual effects in the latest Marvel works, and it is also very popular to play in IMAX theaters.
As the story line of space adventure, Loki's entire adventure journey has a lot of shocking visual effects, including an escape scene in the face of apocalyptic crisis in the alien planet, an overwhelming disaster scene, with a large number of action scenes, a long mirror combines all this tricky picture, the effect is extremely shocking.
The last episode has a magnificent and touching scene, which is full of momentum, which is completely the pattern of a movie blockbuster.
Even the Time Authority presents itself in the 60s and 70s.
Because it establishes a new worldview, the visual wonders of the curtain are also breathtaking to make the audience understand what is happening there.
Therefore, even if you may not fully understand the plot, these visual effects can still make the series entertaining and highly follow-up.
All in all, "Rocky" will be the fourth phase of the MCU to inherit the super important work, with a new vision to build a shocking worldview, solid script, serial plot, let your brain hole ahead of the worldview, have completely broken your understanding of Marvel movies, lamenting that Marvel's way of creating a worldview is indeed unparalleled today.
As a personal biography, "Loki" also has a very in-depth description of the character of Loki, and unexpectedly likes this character who is evil on the outside but good in heart, and watching his growth path, there are surprising surprises.
Among them, the emotional drama with Sylvie is the finishing touch.
Maybe it doesn't have the wow of "Wanda Vision", but "Rocky" is still a masterpiece that the MCU can't miss.
While the first season has come to an end, the good news is that the second season of Rocky will begin filming in January 2022. If you want to wait until the second season is available on the AV platform, it may be until the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023.
