Loki episode 1- Glorious Purpose

 

Loki has almost always been a complete jerk in his comic book appearances.  Any time he was heroic was generally by accident.  He helped stop Dormammu from bringing the Earth into the Dark Dimension for revenge, not for noble purposes.  His first couple appearances in the MCU were pretty much the same, but enhanced by Tom Hiddleston's wonderfully nuanced performance.  Now we have the next series from Marvel, and he's still good, but it's about time.  

I really don't like time travel stories.  It's messy.  There are always contradictions.  I'm also not loving multiverse stories much either, these days.  It does sort of make sense, since they kept killing various characters in the movies for dramatic purposes, and yet, here they are, still alive.

Anyway, this smacks of Legends of Tomorrow.  Not that that fun show was original either, since Time Cops are sort of a cliche these days.  Some might even call them Lords.
