The season finale of Tom Hiddleston’s Loki 2 is fast approaching. The story of the God of Mischief’s adventurous exploits in Time Variance Authority (TVA) continues as he navigates the multiverse with Owen Wilson’s Mobius M. Mobius and Rafael Casal’s Hunter B-15 to locate his variant, Sylvie, along with Ravonna Renslayer and Miss Minutes who have close connections with the main antagonist He Who Remains. Now, ahead of the premiere of the last episode of Loki 2, the show’s cinematographer Isaac Bauman spoke to Hindustan Times about the miniseries being depicted as the work of CGI. He contradicts this fact and urges viewers to watch the show to find proof Loki 2 is backed by great production design, writing, and acting as well.
“I’d say the proof is in the pudding. Watch Loki Season 2. It goes without saying it’s a show driven by wonderful production design, writing, acting, and yes, the cinematography as well. We built four walls and a ceiling every time on that set. There’s very little VFX work on Loki,” he said. When asked about his opinion on Tom Hiddleston’s lead character, the cinematographer promises it’s going to strike as fresh for the audiences. Issac believes viewers weren’t expecting for Loki 2 to have a great stylized presentation. He laments it isn’t the God of Mischief that viewers had seen in MCU before. The aesthetic used to build up his character be it through low-key lighting or stylistic trappings was all to tell the audience Loki in the miniseries is different.
“This isn’t the MCU, and this isn’t the Loki you’ve seen before. This is a whole new ballgame, the stakes have changed, anything can happen. I think by changing the aesthetic and opening the show up to a broader stylistic palette, it was basically saying, ‘You know what? Expect the unexpected,'” the cinematographer added.
The God of Mischief died at the hands of Supervillain Thanos during the Avengers: Infinity War. However, the events of Endgame introduced a variant of Loki coming to life in the TVA. The miniseries features him pitted against a time-traveling entity He Who Remains, who exists in several variant forms across the multiverse. In Loki 2, Jonathan Majors reprises his role of the antagonist but as the variant Victor Timely this time. He stutters and is shown to have a timid personality as a 19th-century industrialist but it is his conman antics that speaks volumes of his malicious intelligence.
The sixth and final episode of Loki Season 2 is scheduled to be released on Thursday, November 9.
