Still Loki
Episode 18
Monday, 10 November, 2025
This week on Marvel Movie Minute, Pete Wright and Matthew Fox reach the point in Thor: The Dark World where the emotional and the absurd collide. Loki’s “death” is barely finished before Jane gets cell service from another realm, a reminder that the MCU has never met a tonal pivot it didn’t love.Pete and Matthew dig into what this scene says about Marvel’s uneasy dance between science and myth—how fantasy logic and pseudo-science keep tripping over each other—and what happens when the movie refuses to pick a lane. They look at how the film handles (and mishandles) Loki’s redemption, whether the mystery soldier reveal works where it lands, and how editing choices both energize and undercut the film’s emotion.Along the way, they find surprising connections to Ragnarok, lament Odin’s disappearing storyline, and celebrate the return of Darcy Lewis, still armed with perfect timing and the movie’s best jokes. It’s the penultimate stretch of The Dark World, where humor meets heartbreak and portals meet plot holes—and somehow, it’s still only a little fun.If you want to hear these conversations unfold in real-time, join the Marvel Movie Minute community at trustory.fm/join, where members get early access, invitations to live stream recordings, and other bonus content.Film SundriesWatch this film: Apple • Amazon • LetterboxdScriptTrailer #1Trailer #2Poster artworkOriginal MaterialSeason 8 Music by Martin PuehringerJoin the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel’s Discord channel!---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.
