Loki Season 2 – starring Tom Hiddleston as the titular character, was released on Disney+ on Thursday, October 5, and has left the audiences happy. Also starring Sophia Di Martino (Sylvie), Owen Wilson (Mobius), Wunmi Mosaku (Hunter B-15), Eugene Cordero (Casey), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Renslayer), Tara Strong (Miss Minutes), and Jonathan Majors, this MCU show has fared better than many of the studio’s other shows.
The positive response to the show is now a big win for the Marvel Cinematic Universe following the underperformance of most shows and movies released in Phase 4 and Phase 5. Read on to know how much this Marvel Comic-based series has scored on Rotten Tomatoes compared to the studios’ other offerings.
According to data on Rotten Tomatoes, Loki Season 2 has reportedly scored 90%, which is sure to boost the overall average of Phase 5. The positive reviews of the Tom Hiddleston-led sequel and the cliffhanger on which the first season ended have made the show the highest-rated Phase 5 offering until now. The ratings of the other films and series released in this phase on the site are Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – 46%, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – 82%, and Secret Invasion – 54%.
As calculated and shared by Screenrant, the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which consisted of movies introducing and featuring the original Avengers – Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, as well as other superheroes like Spider-Man, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange and more, averaged a Rotten Tomatoes score of 85%. This average took a dip following the release of Eternals (47%), resulting in Phase 4 averaging nearly 10 percent lower, scoring just 76%. MCU’s Phase 5 – which has seen the release of two shows (Secret Invasion, Loki) and two movies (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) is currently only averaging 64%.
With a 90% score with only its first episode, the Tom Hiddleston sequel series is an improvement compared to the score received by the last two MCU shows – She Hulk: Attorney at Law (77%) and Secret Invasion (54%).
Loki has been one of the most loved characters ever since he debuted in Phase 1 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – Thor (2011). He’s been a constant in all the MCU Phases – with Loki Season 1 scoring an amazing 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. With this high number from a character introduced in Phase 1, could Marvel bring back more heroes from the first 2 phases? We’ll have to wait and see if they make it to the cast list (it would be a treat to see them in Avengers: Secret Wars)
