Loki episode 1 — out now on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — introduces us to a whole new, never-seen-before side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Or should I say, multiverse. Anticipation for Marvel’s Loki has been sky high ever since the show was first announced. WandaVision broke hearts and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier broke boundaries, but Loki has promised to break our brains with a sprawling, time travel-heavy plot that might have massive consequences for the MCU multiverse in upcoming entries like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The Time Variance Authority, abbreviated as the TVA, is the focus of the first episode of the Tom Hiddleston-led newest Marvel series. We learn about how it came into being, what it does, what it's capable of, and what that means for the trillions of living beings across the timeline. And because this series is called Loki, we see the TVA's actions from the perspective of the God of Mischief (Hiddleston), who realises on Loki episode 1 just how big of a power the TVA is. He's been trying to become king of a little patch — Earth, Asgard, and the Nine Realms — but there's so much more to it.

JUNGLE CRUISE MOVIE TRAILER REVIEW
The God of Mischief's series premiered on Disney Plus Wednesday, with an episode entitled "Glorious Purpose" sending the morally dubious Marvel Cinematic Universe villain on a solo adventure after his escape in Avengers: Endgame.The show's version of Loki (Tom Hiddleston), however, isn't the one who made peace with his brother Thor shortly before being slain by Thanos -- this is actually Loki from an earlier point in the MCU timeline.
We really gotta, and fast, because the Loki of Loki is a version of the character that we last properly met almost a decade ago in The Avengers. After his failed plot to invade Midgard back in 2012, Tom Hiddleston’s beloved villain was neutralized and captured by Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Set to return to Asgard and be punished for his many transgressions – including the murder of Agent Phil Coulson and countless civilians during the Battle of New York – Loki suddenly got an opportunity to escape his fate when Tony Stark’s attempt to grab the Tesseract during Avengers: Endgame went awry.
ETERNALS MOVIE FIRST TEASER TRAILER REVIEW
Loki scarpered with the cube and kickstarted a problematic new timeline in which he wouldn’t go back to Asgard, wouldn’t live through his adopted parents’ demise, and wouldn’t get to make peace with his do-gooding himbo brother. He wouldn’t get killed by Thanos either, and we get to finally find out what happened to the “Variant” version of Loki in this new six-part series on Disney+.
In the episode's final moments, Loki accepts that he can't compete with the powers wielded by the chronological cops of the Time Variance Authority. Agent Mobius (Owen Wilson) reveals that our Loki isn't the only Loki variant running around -- another version of him has been creating timeline chaos by killing teams of TVA agents in various eras and stealing their reset charges.
We know the variant traveled to 1549 France and 1858 Oklahoma to draw agents into traps. It's unclear why they chose those points in the timeline, but it proves that TVA employees can be killed -- you just need to know how to counter their gadgets and get the drop on them.
SHANG-CHI - THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS MOVIE TEASER TRAILER REVIEW
One of the TVA agents notices oil in 1858 Salina, Oklahoma, and assumes someone used a time machine to travel back from the future to get rich. In real life, oil was discovered in the town in 1859, so it'd make sense for an enterprising time traveler to try such a stunt.
